iou – I made this page fairly early in my process of developing the website that later was re-named to Education for Problem Solving.   I typically begin by "writing long" and then condensing the ideas.  For example, links with a gold background (e.g.  Problem Solving & Design ) go to a Detailed Overview-Page with "page summaries" that condense the main ideas from each longer page that I wrote earlier;  each of these pages (earlier & longer) either has a link-with-text without a gold background (e.g. Mental-and-Physical Skills) or has a link-with-bullet (e.g.  • ).    /    Other pages with "extra ideas" are in the bottom sections titled EXTRA PAGES.

 Most links open in the right-side frame,
 so put this page into left-side frame.
