I’ve found over and over again that hearing, reading, learning or otherwise “knowing” are far different than implementing. There is the obvious difference of the former not reaping any of the benefits of the latter. But beyond that each time I’ve applied and implemented something I thought I knew I’ve realized there was more to it and applying it to my own situation took more thought than I expected. Knowing can really only come after you’ve implemented.

I find it difficult to face this situation when you are trying to explain something and the others seem to know all about it … the point is between ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’ it there is a long distance!!! so I challenge myself to really prove if I know something by doing it and I do the same with the others… Fear goes away. hope this helps:-)

I am so like Tina – get doing then for various reasons stop doing. The usual reasons for this interruption include emergencies (caregiving my mother is rife with these) or doing too many things and becoming so overwhelmed that almost everything gets dropped. Another reason is that results are not sufficiently positive within what I think is a reasonable time. I am finding that I have to be very particular with my choices and continue to put off things that I really want to give a better chance to doing. Unfortunately this has resulted in my NOT doing things that I want to do and that require a very strict structure (time-wise, at least) in order to make a habit (I am thinking specifically of my eNewsletter and blog).
I have occasionally thought “yes, I know that but I’m not convinced it is apropos for me” rather than just “I know that already.” Unless that last is accompanied by “but HOW?” Know theory doesn’t necessarily include knowing HOW as well.
(Aside: When I cross my arms it usually means, “why is it so cold in here? Turn off the air conditioner, please.”

I’m exactly like you Tina. Fits and starts; esp with posting to Facebook and writing blog posts and the like.
In trying to break the fit and start cycle I have been disciplining myself to do at least one small thing a day. I’m great for sharing things that I find and learn but sometimes I’m the shoe maker (there’s a pun eh Alyson) with holes in my shoes.

Yes Katherine, what Alyson asked. I’m soon to be face to face with 25 artists in a website workshop for the first time. Yikes what if they all cross their arms 😉

Katherine: So what do you do when students cross their arms?

But it is nice that you want to help your friend. Not everyone is accepting of our help.

In reply to Tina Mammoser.

Tina: It doesn’t seem to me like you have an implementation problem. I think we all go in cycles and can forgive ourselves for the down times.
