I'm serious. A duck can help you solve problems. To be clear, I'm not saying a duck can solve your problems, but ducks do have a knack (quack?) for helping you solve your own problems. It's real. Stop laughing.
Here's how it works.
Get a non-living duck. Rubber ducks are super popular, but stuffed formerly-living ducks or stuffed never-lived-before ducks work just as well. Put it on or near your desk. When you get stuck on a problem, ask the duck for help. Voila!
