What’s On Your Mind?

Directions vs. Instructions
Directions and instructions are
exchanges often used by people in
everyday situations. People
communicate information by
giving directions and instructions.
Because of their almost identical
meanings, the two terms are
often used interchangeably.

Both directions and
instructions are used as
plurals. They can be
delivered both in an oral
and written manner.
The differences between directions and
instructions are dependent on the context
or usage in a certain situation. Both
directions and instructions act as
guidelines and often appear as a series of
steps or stages.

Directions tend to be associated
with places. People often ask for
directions when trying to get to a
specific geographical location.
The most common directional
cues are north, south, east, west,
top, down, left, and right.
Combinations of the above
mentioned cues are possible as
well. This accomplishes the main
goal of getting from one specified
area or location to another.

In a different context, directions
can also be considered as
orders; both provide guidance
on what to do. In directions, the
manner of delivery is less
forceful compared to that of
instructions. Directions act as
general guidelines with an
indication of authority.
Additionally, directions do not
provide the doer with the context
and the result of each step or

On the other hand, instructions
are also commands or steps
needed to make a particular
event happen. Instructions are
concentrated on how to
complete a particular task.
They offer context as well as
brief explanations of the steps
and the succeeding results.

These characteristics give
instructions some educational
value and provide the doer with
some understanding of the
component’s importance, which
is the process itself to the effect
of the instructions with all other
implied knowledge.
Instructions, unlike directions,
are detailed and hold a tone of
authority in their delivery.

In terms of etymology, “directions” and
“instructions” share Latin roots. The
word “directions,” comes from
”direction,” while “instructions” is
derived from “instructio.” “Instruction”
has a later etymology from the late
Middle English “instruccio.”

Tips on giving instructions
Provide context and be
specific: Give all the
details. Provide any
background to help that
person better
understand the task at
hand.

Ask politely rather than
barking orders: Tone of
voice can change
everything, especially
when telling someone
what to do.

Offer the other person
the opportunity to ask
questions: Whenever
the one receiving the
task is unsure, it’s
important that you
allow him time to ask
questions.

Resist any urge to micromanage:
If you give directions properly, you
should not feel the need to
oversee or micromanage. In still
faith in your task-doer by letting
him do things without you to the
best of his ability.

Tips on taking instructions and fulfilling tasks
Actively listen: Try to listen intently,
not just hear. When you actively listen,
you can better understand what you
need to do. Here’s a trick that may
help: pretend that there is going to be
a quiz after the conversation. Visually
think about what's being said and
maybe even repeat it in your head.

Take notes: Instead of trying to
remember everything, write it
down. There’s nothing wrong
with keeping notes; it shows
that you are prepared,
organized and want to do the
job correctly.

Ask questions: If you are even
slightly unsure of what you are
being asked to do, don’t be
afraid to question. Make sure
the other person allows you the
chance to find out all the
needed details to move
forward.

Respond with a good
attitude: Just as the
person giving directions
needs to speak
respectfully, it’s important
to respond respectfully.
