What is Sensemaking | Explained in 2 min

JANIS: Hi, everyone.

It's Janis here.

And in this video, we will
explore what is sensemaking.

Sometimes in our life,
we'll face a decisions that

doesn't seem to make sense.

But oftentimes, it's important
to take action anyway,

as deep inside, you know that
it's the right thing to do.

Sensemaking is the
process by which

people give meaning to their
collective experiences.

It's the ongoing retrospective
development of plausible images

that rationalize what
people are doing.

We all take actions and
make decisions every day.

But you might not have
noticed, that every time you

do something, you
verify in your mind,

if it makes sense to do that.

Sometimes it happens before you
make a decision or take action,

while other times,
it is something

that you do afterwards.

For example, you might
want to start a business.

But before you do that, try to
make sense of why you do it,

and what you will achieve.

If you can't make
sense of it, then you

will most likely
overthink the process

and eventually not go ahead
with starting your own business.

Other times, when we are
under the time pressure,

we make rush decisions.

But that doesn't mean
that the sensemaking

part gets left
aside, we simply try

to make sense after the event.

For example, you might
make a rush decision

to invest your money in
Bitcoin, but after you

have done that still
try to make sense of it.

In his book Be
Obsessed or Be Average,

Grant Cardone said, how do you
make sense from things that

doesn't make sense in our life.

We often face situations
where it doesn't make sense

to do something, but it
might be the very thing

that you have to do.

Sensemaking is a natural
thing to everyone,

and we have to see things
from a bigger picture,

if we want to make the
right decisions in our life.
