There's lots of good advice on problem solving. But the details matter.

00:00 Introduction
1:08 The problem solving process
1:54 The important sentence
3:02 Skipping the step vs doing the thing

BTW, if you're learning physics on your own, I think Susan Rigetti's recommendations are indispensable. https://www.susanrigetti.com/physics

The "2000" problems video I reference is here:    • What happens when you solve 2000 phys...

The physics book in question is: Young, H. D., Freedman, R. A., & Ford, A. L. (20). Sears and Zemansky's University Physics with Modern Physics. 15th Edition. Pearson education. Although I think any of the earlier editions (14th, 13th, international, etc.) are good. Again, credit to Susan Rigetti for this recommendation.
