because meditation is not using the mind, it is not problem solving. meditation is taking a break from problem solving so you can approach the problem better after meditation is over. If you try to solve a problem with meditation, you are not really meditating, just engaging thoughts in a different way. Meditation is taking a break from thoughts. the thoughts come in meditation, but the idea is to not follow them, not engage them, and thus get a break from them without ignoring them or trying to run away from them.

meditate. then solve your problem after you meditate, 10-30 minutes after not immediately after.
