Do I have a similar problem? Would it help me to do the same or similar thing? Does it give me any new ideas? Use inspirational stories to brainstorm your own solution. b) Analysis. After reading it, do you understand better why something was not working for you? Were you approaching your learning ineffectively? Do you not have a balance of various types of materials/practice?
