Song of the Month
Use this blues to remember the steps to solving a problem. The mnemonic device of the title was created by Megan Neal.
I=Identify the problem
S=Find different ways to solve the problem
H=Guess will happen with each possibility
D=Decide what is the best choice
T=Try another solution if the first doesn't work
I SOMETIMES HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME

Chorus:
I Sometimes Have a Difficult Time
Figuring out what to do
When I get stuck and can't go on
Remembering this will get me through
I Sometimes Have a Difficult Time
Is the problem-solving how-to.
1. Identify the problem is the place to start
What is it that's going wrong?
Look at things, take some time to figure it out
The rest won't take so long.
Chorus
2. Find different ways to solve your problem, think a lot
One or two is not enough.
Think outside the box, talk to ones you love
Sometimes this part is tough.
Chorus
3. Imagine what will happen down each road you look
How will things come out at the end
Will you solve your problem and be happy again
Think it through, look 'round every bend.
Chorus
4. Decide what's best, which one will work, what you want to do
Solve your problem the best way
What will work, you decide and give it a try
And work it all the way.
Chorus
5. If it doesn't work it's time to try again
Another choice might be best
You never really know till you give it a chance
And you're up to the test.
Chorus
