THE PROBLEM REVERSAL PROTOCOL

You’re not blocked. You’re just solving the problem in the wrong format.

The Problem Reversal Protocol is a no-fluff tactical kit for creators, writers, and thinkers who keep hitting dead ends. It doesn’t offer inspiration. It offers inversion.

Inside are ten strategic maneuvers. Each one begins with a stuck state and flips it inside out — not with motivation, but with structured misbehavior.

You’ll:

• Start with the ending you’re trying to avoid
• Write as if you’re already five steps too late
• Turn the project into a parody, a press release, or a cookbook entry
• Diagnose failure as if it were a breakthrough
• Rewrite the problem from someone else’s perspective, poorly and on purpose

Every reversal includes:

• A trigger (the block you’re facing)
• A structured writing maneuver
• A logic note on why it works
  

These aren’t prompts. They’re problem reframers—designed to trick your brain into moving again, even when it’s convinced it’s done.

Use this protocol when:

• You can’t start
• You’ve tried everything
• You don’t want to look at it anymore
  

Format: 2-page PDF
Mood: dry, tactical, lightly confrontational
