Speaker:
00:00:34
In today's episode, we thought
we'd talk about the topic of what
2
:
00:00:38
to do, some ideas to help you out.
3
:
00:00:41
If you often find yourself when
you're driving thinking, I don't
4
:
00:00:45
know what to do, or what do I do?
5
:
00:00:48
So we thought we'd come up with a few
ideas and a few solutions to help out.
6
:
00:00:53
Part of what we have found or heard
from people, and this is, we're going
7
:
00:00:59
to talk about three reasons really, and
the first reason is that there might
8
:
00:01:04
be gaps in knowledge and understanding.
9
:
00:01:06
It might have become a habit to say, I
don't know, or I don't know what to do, or
10
:
00:01:12
there may well be the situation where it's
just overload, there's too much going on.
11
:
00:01:16
So let's look at the first step and what
we want you to do is, you've probably
12
:
00:01:22
heard us say it before, but we'd like
you to become your own detective.
13
:
00:01:27
Yeah, because if there's three,
well, , like you said, , there
14
:
00:01:30
could be all sorts of reasons.
15
:
00:01:32
But if there are three main themes,
three main reasons for this, then you
16
:
00:01:37
need to get your detective hat on and
start looking for clues and try and work
17
:
00:01:40
out, okay, what is it that's going on?
18
:
00:01:43
for me.
19
:
00:01:44
So, yeah, what's happening?
20
:
00:01:46
What's, what's, what situations?
21
:
00:01:47
When does this happen?
22
:
00:01:49
So let's look at first off, let's look at
gaps in your knowledge and understanding.
23
:
00:01:56
Yeah, I mean, this, Seems like the most
obvious, obvious reason, doesn't it?
24
:
00:02:00
Because if somebody's
saying, what do I do?
25
:
00:02:03
Or I don't know what to do.
26
:
00:02:05
Then the immediate thought
is, well, is there a gap?
27
:
00:02:10
Is there a gap in your knowledge?
28
:
00:02:12
Is there a gap in your understanding?
29
:
00:02:15
So that you don't Maybe
you've never known what to do.
30
:
00:02:21
Or maybe You keep forgetting what
to do in a particular situation,
31
:
00:02:28
and so this comes down to whether
you've stored the knowledge in your
32
:
00:02:33
memory to be recalled at a later date.
33
:
00:02:37
So sometimes you're given information,
but it doesn't actually get embedded
34
:
00:02:41
into that long term memory, which
means it's really hard to find that
35
:
00:02:46
piece of information when you need it.
36
:
00:02:49
So what is knowledge?
37
:
00:02:51
Let's have a look at that now.
38
:
00:02:53
So it could be the, the
what should I do question.
39
:
00:02:58
You know, you don't know what to do.
40
:
00:03:00
So it's like asking yourself, what
should I do in this situation?
41
:
00:03:04
And you might well find yourself
saying, , I can't remember how to do it.
42
:
00:03:08
And I can't remember what to do.
43
:
00:03:10
That is a clear sign that The information
and the knowledge is not there.
44
:
00:03:17
Yeah.
45
:
00:03:17
So what you need to do is
to do something different.
46
:
00:03:20
Find a different way of learning
something or being able to remember it.
47
:
00:03:26
And again, there's loads of
different ways you can do this.
48
:
00:03:29
But again, it's finding out in the
first place, what am I saying to myself?
49
:
00:03:34
Yeah.
50
:
00:03:34
The knowledge is the what.
51
:
00:03:37
It's the facts.
52
:
00:03:38
It's the information.
53
:
00:03:40
And like you say, if If it doesn't
go in the first time, another
54
:
00:03:44
phrase we use quite a lot is that
if you do what you've always done,
55
:
00:03:48
you get what you've always got.
56
:
00:03:50
So if you're taking information on in
the same way all the time and not being
57
:
00:03:55
able to remember it, then trying to take
the information in, in a different way.
58
:
00:04:00
So changing it up, doing
it in a different way.
59
:
00:04:03
If you're reading it, then try.
60
:
00:04:06
observing it or giving it a go or
so it's just using different methods
61
:
00:04:12
of taking on information isn't it?
62
:
00:04:14
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
63
:
00:04:15
And there is so many different ways
that people learn things but look at
64
:
00:04:19
a little bit of what is understanding.
65
:
00:04:22
So, Understanding is the reason why you
do something, what you do, or the why.
66
:
00:04:27
Yes, yeah.
67
:
00:04:28
It's the easier way to do it, but
yeah, this is what we want to be doing.
68
:
00:04:31
It's why am I doing what I'm doing?
69
:
00:04:32
Yeah, and sometimes, when you have
the understanding, when you understand
70
:
00:04:37
why you need to do something, that
can, that can, be the difference
71
:
00:04:42
that helps you remember it.
72
:
00:04:44
Yeah.
73
:
00:04:44
Because if you just have a whole load
of facts in front of you, they're often
74
:
00:04:49
really difficult to take on board.
75
:
00:04:51
But if you understand the reasoning
behind the fact, behind the piece of
76
:
00:04:55
information, then it sort of makes sense.
77
:
00:04:59
And then you're more
likely to remember it.
78
:
00:05:03
