Hi there! In response to your question, I would probably say it depends on the situation you are referring to. Seldom in life you would find that only one solution is applicable to a situation, you can think of it from multiple perspectives and angles. Hence the answer would depend on that, personal preference and also the complexity of the situation.
Hope this answer helps; best wishes
