I was trying to connect a Chromebook to the internet via my Wi-Fi
It did not respond when I tapped my Wi-Fi provider. After a lot of effort I discovered I could just about see the settings when the screen was in a high intensity mode
It appeared to be connected to EE and then wanted to charge me for using it but I don’t know who’s EE broadband it was connected to.
I’ve never spent a lot of time losing it the settings but I’m glad that I did spend this time because I understand a lot more about the settings now than I did before.
Eventually I managed to get rid of EE and put my BT one in its place
Now all that took a long time.
And what I do is the following
I spend a maximum of 25 minutes with a problem and then I leave it until the next day
I repeat this for as many days as it takes.
In between my brain has been working on what’s happened and so I find it easier to go back into the problem
Of course it’s very hard sometimes to leave a problem
I’ve still not connected it because it comes up with the phrase
Network not available.
If you have good eyesight you will probably do this problem solving more quickly than I can
The tiny print is very hard to read even with a magnifying glass and several pairs of spectacles
No I feel confident that I know how to do that but not just that but I’ve learned how to do several other things.
I first learned this technique of doing only 20 or 25 minutes at a time when I bought a new phone and by some horrible chance I touched Norwegian as the language by mistake and it took me four days of 25 minutes a day to change it back to English again
No one I knew at the time knew what to do so I just had to keep trying different possibilities.
So the most important thing is: it’s better not to use a lot of energy pressurising yourself to solve the problem quickly
If it is urgent then you’re better off calling in an expert to help you.
Sometimes my memory works in the same way.
