Activity THREE: Thinking in an organized way

This time we are going to apply the same technique of structured thinking used in the previous
two activities but to explore an issue or challenge that you might be experiencing in your
profession, apprenticeship or trade/craft.
Here are some challenges that might sound familiar
• I don’t have enough time
• How do I compete in a global market?
• I don’t earn enough money relative to the amount of work I do
• I am afraid of taking actions connected to employability
• I can’t motivate myself to study
• My profit is not enough to cover my expenses

We have chosen one problem that you might have experienced yourself as an example: Not
earning enough money

We will go through the steps of exploring this issue in an organised, structured way. If you
don’t identify with this issue, you can apply this technique to something more relevant to you.

How To Explore And Query In A Structured Way

Write your answers in your notebook or on a piece of paper.

The challenge we will explore is: Not earning enough money

The Facts
1. Let’s look at the facts around that first. For example How much do I earn at present? Do
I cover all my costs? Do I have enough money for a business?
