Theory and Practise, Getting the Balance Right

Gordon is still in France and getting back into a consistent routine with running and explains in this episode what you need to do when your enthusiasm for learning begins to slow. When you begin any new learning it’s important to understand the elements of theory and practise and if you find your learning slowing it could be that one of the elements is missing. There are different ways to achieve a balance of theory and practise including working with someone who has complementary skills. Review to see if you have both elements in your learning and adapt and take action to achieve the outcomes you want.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Theory and practise are the 2 elements of any learning process When learning slows it maybe because one of the elements is missing What areas of learning in your life have slowed down because you are missing one of the 2 elements? You may never have had one of the elements in your learning and will need to make changes to achieve the most effective learning path. Reviewing your learning considering both the theory and practise will help you to see how to achieve the balance needed. The 2 elements working together are needed to achieve the outcomes you want. What do you need to learn to achieve the outcomes you want? Have you got both elements in place both the theory and the practise? You may be stronger in one element and need to develop your skills in the other. There are different ways and means of achieving the elements of learning. You don’t have to be every element yourself. You can work with someone who complements your skillset   BEST MOMENTS  ‘Double check if you’ve got both elements theory and practise in your learning’ ‘Without the 2 elements working together, it will be difficult to achieve the outcomes you want’ ‘As learning becomes more complex it will slow down but you should be able to maintain learning in both the theory and practise’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Life, Living It and Loving It podcast    ABOUT THE HOST     Welcome to the life, living it and loving it podcast with Extreme Execution Coach Gordon Done.    We don’t know about you, but we’re fed up of burning ourselves out and living in a state of survival.
