He was near the bottom of the class, and could probably have learned more if he had just sat and listened.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an amusing story, but how many of us are acting like this kid, saying, \u201cI know that already,\u201d when we really ought to listen?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Don\u2019t \u201cKnow That Already\u201d<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inline-podcast\">\n<small>Listen to this article<\/small><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"20\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/679276596&#038;color=%23219895&#038;inverse=false&#038;auto_play=false&#038;show_user=true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>A sentiment I\u2019ve heard expressed often is that \u201cI already know what to do, I just don\u2019t do it.\u201d The idea being that you don\u2019t need more education, you just need to do the things you already know.<\/p>\n<p>In a certain sense this is probably true. Eat plenty of veggies and not too much junk food. Save for retirement. Go to sleep early. Don\u2019t yell at your spouse. These aren&#8217;t so surprising.<\/p>\n<p>You know these things, but you probably slip on them more often than you\u2019d like. Therefore, it makes sense that you might say you know these things already, and the disconnect is simply willpower, motivation or both.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing is a Kind of Knowing<\/h2>\n<p>Where I disagree with this common sentiment is that being able to do things is a kind of knowing. Being able to follow your plans, stick to habits, achieve hard goals and maintain your cool in tense situations are learnable skills. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iceberg.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iceberg.png 400w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iceberg-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/iceberg-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Therefore, while a failure to make savings or eat your broccoli may not be because you don\u2019t understand nutrition or finance, they still represent a gap in your knowledge. You don\u2019t know how to do the things you need to.<\/p>\n<p>To appreciate this, you have to see willpower, motivation and behavior as themselves being complex systems you don\u2019t fully understand. Seen from this way, the fact that you don\u2019t save for retirement, even though you really should, <em>is<\/em> because of a lack of knowledge. The knowledge you\u2019re lacking isn\u2019t that you\u2019re unaware that saving is important, but that you don\u2019t know how to make that change happen in your life.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Learn to Manage Yourself?<\/h2>\n<p>Getting this kind of knowing is, like learning all things, a dose of theory and whole lotta practice. <\/p>\n<p>The theory itself isn\u2019t too hard. Habits, goal-setting, motivation, confidence, self-conception, these are all topics you could probably understand well enough after reading 10-20 books. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, here\u2019s a few to get going:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/jamesclear.com\/atomic-habits\">Atomic Habits<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danpink.com\/drive.\/\">Drive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/atulgawande.com\/book\/the-checklist-manifesto\/\">The Checklist Manifesto<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gettingthingsdone.com\/\">Getting Things Done<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnewport.com\/books\/deep-work\/\">Deep Work<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman\/dp\/0385676530\">Thinking, Fast and Slow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The practice is more work. It\u2019s not just that self-improvement is hard work, which of course, it is. Rather, the specific difficulty is the capacity for self-reflection. It\u2019s not enough to just go out and do things\u2014you need to observe what you\u2019re doing and track the results.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some questions to reflect upon:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you have to work on something unpleasant, how do you still put in the time?<\/li>\n<li>When you need to sustain effort on something for years, without falter, how do you keep it up?<\/li>\n<li>How do you make progress when you feel tired, or even exhausted, most of the time from your regular life?<\/li>\n<li>How often do you start projects, only to get distracted and change targets a few weeks or months later?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few, but if you don\u2019t have concrete systems in place for handling these common issues, I\u2019d argue that you really can\u2019t say that you, \u201cknow it already.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reframing Self-Control Problems as Self-Understanding Problems<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s another, side-benefit to all this. I find that when you reframe a problem of self-control as one of not fully understanding yourself, it\u2019s a lot easier to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Say you\u2019re trying to exercise and you haven\u2019t been going much. If that\u2019s a \u201cwillpower\u201d or \u201cmotivation\u201d problem, what are you going to do about that? Probably nothing. If saying to yourself &#8220;Just do it!&#8221; doesn&#8217;t work, what then?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/control-vs-understanding.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/control-vs-understanding.png 600w, https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/control-vs-understanding-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In contrast, if you view your problem with exercise as not having the right system to make it an automatic habit, all of a sudden you can ask more interesting questions. Why has my habit been hard to sustain? What could make it last longer in the future? What things have I been doing that make it harder to keep up?<\/p>\n<p>I find that a similar leap is often responsible for success and failure with learning as well. If you see studying as mostly a self-control issue, rather than a complex system of both the cognitive acts of learning and habits and behaviors that go into making those things happen, you\u2019ll spend most of your time beating yourself up for \u201cnot studying hard enough.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The solution, therefore, is to admit you don\u2019t actually know it already. That there are, in fact, many things you don\u2019t know or understand about yourself. You can get much better results, if you only choose to learn and listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dad, who taught elementary school for thirty seven years, once had a kid in his class who would always interrupt the class saying, \u201cI know that already!\u201d It was doubly annoying, he told me, because this kid clearly did not know it already.
