@Moe25 when someone's talking to you they can say for example "Try doing this instead" when you are talking to someone you can say "I'll try to do that next time" but you can also say "I'll try doing that tomorrow" there really isn't much of a difference.

There isn't much of a difference at all. To do something means doing something.
The only rule is that you can't have two "____ing" phrases in a row. You can say, "I need to try doing this", "I'm trying to do this," and "I need to try to do this", but you can't say, "I'm trying doing this".
