Interpretation

What this quote means

Focus on solutions rather than getting bogged down by problems during decision making.

This quote emphasizes the importance of separating the processes of problem-solving from decision-making. When you allow the complexities and difficulties of a problem to distract you during the decision-making phase, you risk becoming fixated on the issue itself instead of exploring viable solutions, which can hinder progress and effectiveness.
