Trouble Shooting Problems While Working

Lesson #8
Just when you thought you were done with work, something either goes wrong, or you find out that you made a mistake somewhere. This happens in a regular 9:00 to 5:00 job, and it happens in every day life, with family and friends. When you panic, you make yourself upset, and stop thinking. Have you noticed that you get lightheaded when you become confused, and chaos breaks out ? That's because your not breathing right... So take a deep breath.

Nothing can be so simple as breathing, but people forget their brains need MORE oxygen when your trying to figure out what's wrong and what happened. Any athlete will tell you that your energy level drops dramatically when you start that excited shallow breathing when we're upset or caught off guard. Oxygen is the big secret to getting more work done too. Even when your not under pressure, taking a deep breath will hype your senses and sharpen your thinking.

Cause and Effect is another big issue with people that are not very efficient. We tend to attack the effects of the problem, to solve it. Then the same problem happens again, and we solve it the same way. Once you see a pattern like that, then it's time to look for the "cause", so that you can stop the problem from happening again. I could use a thousand different examples to explain this, but suffice to say this: If your in the Desert, and feel the sand under you is wet, without a Cloud in the Sky, then the moisture had to come from somewhere. So we look for Camels or some other animal... and check your water bottle, because it might be leaking.

Start with this example, and then you'll begin to see how it happens. You finish a project, and send an email, but it fails. Then you try to send a text to someone to let them know that your having problems, and the text just sits there without moving. So now you have to wait until you get home, and send the email with a computer, because you can't find a Library that has a computer. Hours go by and you finally get home and send in the assignment. Then you look at your phone and see that the message sent itself. So what happened to the phone ?

You were connected to Wifi inside a building, and then left the building and the Wifi, so the phone stopped sending and receiving, because it was searching for another connection, until the Cellular or Digital signal reconnected. So you shouldn't panic when your not connected... just wait... simple problems, have simple solutions.
