PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS
MY PROBLEM :- I CANT CRAM

Ostensibly due to rise in global competition and human race the amount of new problems are

rising day by day and no one knows how to overcome these due to which they end up with

failure. So having a good problem solving approach is must needed for society and IDEAL

problem solving method is the one of the best approach as it is easy to understand and give

effective results.

IDEAL:-

❖ I - Identify the problem

❖ D - Describe the outcome

❖ E - Explore possible strategies

❖ A - Anticipate outcomes and Act

❖ L - Look and Learn

1.) I = Identifying the problem

No solution or positive outcome can be expected if the proper analysis of the problem is done to

identify the problem. As in many cases it is found that people generally don’t know what are

they lacking in.

MY APPROACH:- If first identified that my problem is that I am not able to give that much

concentration and time to book reading.

2.) D = Describe the outcome

After identifying the problem next step is to describe what could be done and what need to be

achieved. The person should be specific about what he want to achieve and describe all the

procedure he is going to follow to overcome it.

MY APPROACH- I described my problem and broke the procedure into easy and convenient

steps in which I feel comfortable and would give effective results.

3.) E = Explore possible strategies

So if the person really wanna overcome his problem he need to do some hard work and explore

all the best solutions and ways which are effective write that down and make a proper plan about

it.

MY APPROACH = So by scrolling a lot of videos on youtube and reading articles on Wikipedia

I get to know some very effective measures used by some experts that are:-

• Keeping the distracting things like mobile away while reading

• Starting with reading some interesting books or material which may not let you feel bored

• Re-writing the material 3-4 times to fit that properly in your mind.

4.) A – Anticipate outcomes and Act

So after you make the plans and all then you need to think about the outcomes or the possible

results of applying these plans. As it never goes as we planned so we need to eliminate all those

problems which we think we are going to face while going for the problem solving approach.
MY APPROACH:- As I examined and look upon I felt that I would achieve a great success by

going with this approach and plans that I made but at same time I felt what if I am not able to

cope up and get bored and leave as usual so I made some changes to overcome these possible

outcomes.

5.) L - Look and Learn

There is a great quote that ‘ PERSON LEARNS FORM MISTAKES ‘ which means we need to

look upon the problems what we are doing what are the reasons for that and how can we make

ourselves better in such a way that we may not face same problems in future.

MY APPROACH:_- So as I resolved my problem and look backed I observed that the main

reason of my problem is my lack of sitting and Distractions . So I learned that if I want to be

successful I have to leave these things and follow my goals.
