As an events specialist, Jay’s work required him to always be on the road.
While Jay loved his business - the people, places, and even the last-minute stress, one part that Jay really didn’t like was how lost he got in every new city.
If Jay wasn’t in an Uber, he was lost.
Whether by driving or by foot, his sense of space was low.
This not only caused much frustration, but also a ton of wasted time trying to get to the right places.
By improving the core issue, the thinking skill of orientation in space, Jay had a much easier time getting around and spending his time on what he really wanted.
While you are doing any task, you (without even realizing it!) are using your 28 thinking skills.
When the thinking skills you need to use are strong, doing the task happens easily.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, doing the task will be a challenge.
The struggle that Jay had, came from a weak thinking skill of orientation in space.
Orientation in space is the thinking skill related to anything special including: knowing rights and lefts, reading maps, knowing how much space something takes up, and following or giving directions.
You can be good in one part of orientation in space but struggle with another.
Jay, for example, was really good at seeing how much space items take up and how to set the room up in a way to makes it feel roomy.
However, anything related to maps, including following Google Maps directions was a challenge.
3 Things we did to help Jay improve his orientation in space:
1. Look out for points of reference when walking/driving.
What landmarks on the way can you use to help you figure out where you are?
For example, one block over from my hotel is this restaurant.
2. Before going to a new place, take a couple of minutes to read the map.
Often when we’re in it, it’s hard for us to grasp where we are ‘cuz well, we’re in.
When you look at a map, it’s easier to see the big picture and find landmarks to guide you.
3. Every time you go out, try going a different way.
This helps your brain make connections on how the streets are connected and where things are.
I personally try to do this on my daily runs.
Your challenge is to pick one of the follow to do before/during your next trip!
