The Things I've Learned From Trying to Solve a Rubik's Cube
Thursday, March 01, 2018
- I want to do too much at the same time, meaning I have trouble doing things step by step.
One step leads to me think of a process or solution to each individual step. That makes it impossible to even start with the initial step. Instead I try to solve all of the combined problems without even taking the first necessary steps. - I tend to get lost in what I'm doing, losing track of what I was planning to do, or what I've done so far. I become hyperfocused on the task at hand.
- Added frustration leads to me becoming even more focused on the situation I am currently in and not necessarily on how I got into that situation or how I can revert it or solve it.
- I blame myself for my lack of skill, my lack of knowledge. I feel stupid for not understanding things instantaneously. (Which I would never expect from someone else, so why do I expect it from myself?)
However...
- I learn by doing. I might not exactly remember or realise how I've done it, but I always push through until I've found a solution.
- I am quick at picking up new techniques and memorising them. As long as they are tangible, result driven and visual.
- I am good at simplifying processes, which helps very much with the job I have.
- I am reflective and focused on self-improvement. Sometimes I might push myself too far, but I'll always come back to a point of reflection.
