Spatial: Observation 15. Strategies and plans can be visualized. 1985
Observation:
This story is about developing strategies and plans. I thought about how to do an eco project, like what steps to take, how much it would cost, and if I’d need other people to help. I used a visual model of all of the parts of this type of project to connect different ideas and plans. This helped make sure I had other ways to succeed if one part of the strategy was unsuccessful.
The Lesson:
The most important lesson is to carefully plan and think of different ways to solve a problem in case the first plan doesn't work.
How this is helpful:
Helps Solve Problems: If one way doesn't work, you have other ideas ready to try.
Saves Time and Effort: Knowing different ways to do something means you don't get stuck and waste time when the first plan fails.
Boosts Creativity: Thinking of many solutions can lead to more creative and better ways to do things.
Questions to ask:
Goals: What do I want to achieve?
Alternatives: What other ways can I reach my goal?
Preparation: Am I ready for unexpected challenges?
Before catching a ball, I visualize catching it and then imagine running backwards from that future point to where I am now. Next, I run forwards to make my visualization come true. It’s possible to do this with ideas.
