After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I am studying every day, and I am up outside the window before I can count candles at night. Every time the results came out and sighed: I learned a lonely again...
Why are inputs often disproportionate to output? In fact, it is not difficult to find that the school bully around you is often not the one with the longest learning time, but it is definitely the most efficient. As the saying goes: not every minute of learning, but every minute of learning.
So which of your learning methods went wrong? Quickly check yourself~

I've been doing useless work
A little story:
Xiao Li, who has just entered middle school, is the first to rush to the classroom every morning, does not rest at noon, and goes home at night to learn 12 o'clock. The desk was full of textbooks, like a "siege", Xiao Li buried his head in the "siege" to study, not asking about the world.
Despite this, Xiao Li's achievements are still in the middle and lower reaches.
The teacher said, "You've worked very hard, it's just that your talent is different." "He himself felt: I've worked very hard, and not improving is just because I'm stupid.
Later, a new class teacher came to their class, and he talked to Xiao Li and said: Have you ever thought that if you work so hard but do not make progress, is it really that your intelligence is inferior to others? Is there something wrong with the method? Are you addicted to your own "efforts" and are touched by yourself, but you have never thought about how many of these "efforts" are real progress and how many are repetitive inefficient labor?
Xiao Li suddenly realized that he ran to the classroom very early every day, but his brain was not awake at all. Although I read it aloud in my mouth, I didn't have a heart, and I couldn't memorize it for a while and a half, and I secretly thought about how it was so difficult to memorize.
He works very hard and wants to be better than others, so when he listens to the class, he thinks that I want to surpass others in learning, and when he does the problem, he looks at where people write, and it turns out that others are faster than him.
And when he enviously asked Xueba, why is it faster than me to do the problem every time? Xueba said, is there any? How fast or slow are you doing, how do I know? It turns out that the students are so focused on the problems that they are in the no-man's land, and they will not pay attention to how others are doing.
In fact, Xiao Li only wants to learn well, and he doesn't think of anything else. He thinks it's to be strong, it's hard work, but in fact he's anxious. Although he is not thinking about playing games and falling in love, it is also something that has nothing to do with learning itself! I don't want to go to class, I don't want to do problems, I don't want to think about it, I just think about it.
In the absence of people's souls, it is false learning, and the efficiency is naturally low. The work effect is equal to the working time multiplied by the work efficiency, the time is used longer than others, but the effect is worse than others.
Workaround
If you really try, you have to focus.
What is concentration? Concentration is the ability to concentrate all one's strength to accomplish something one wants to accomplish. When you announce the end of the game and enter the learning, anything that has nothing to do with your learning is ignored.
Just like Einstein did when he calculated general relativity, just like Beethoven did when he composed music, just like Chen Jingrun did when he faced the Goldbach conjecture, just like countless people who have been called great men by history have done when they face their unfinished business.
Concentration is when you listen to a lecture when a person sits next to you and you are not aware of it. Forget about the current thing, so dedicated that I don't have time to think about anything else.
02
Has been making false efforts
One of the misconceptions of effort is that inattention leads to low efficiency. On the other hand, it is to go in the wrong direction, avoid core thinking, only do shallow work, and be low-quality and diligent.
There is a classmate, other people's time he is learning, other people's play time he is also learning, but the results have been bad, always said that they are slow.
What does he do with his time? ------------------ Copy the wrong question into the book.
- The teacher asked him, "Why do you have to copy every question?" Isn't there one on the exam paper? ”
- He said: "Too many test papers are easy to mess up, and it is convenient to review a wrong set of questions." ”
- The teacher asked again, "Have you studied these wrong questions?" ”
- He said, "Now if you have time to study this, I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”
Yes, use time to copy the wrong questions, but do not correct the wrong questions, and there is no time to fully understand the ideas of each question.
This is the second part of false effort, duplication of effort. Repetitive work refers to going around in circles around things that are far from the core, and repeatedly doing things that have no real impact on the outcome of things.
Thinking is a more difficult thing, so many people would rather bury their heads and complain than think about it. This is about using the diligence of action to mask the laziness of thinking—being diligent on the surface, but actually deliberately avoiding the parts that are really difficult but more valuable.
For today's learning, the most difficult and valuable work is deep thinking. Only deep thinking can bring about cognitive upgrading, thereby improving their academic level.
Why correcting the wrong questions can effectively improve your grades, because those wrong questions you have been in the past are the carriers that guide you to think deeply.
But why some people do not have a good effect, because the low-quality reform method is to look at the wrong question again, that practice is not thinking, is memory, and the improvement effect is definitely not good.
Only by re-doing the wrong question as a new problem is thinking about it. And deep thinking, but also think about why this question is wrong, what is the corresponding knowledge point? Are there different solutions?
When you encounter the same type of question, you put it together. You will slowly find that in fact, there are only a few knowledge points that come and go wrong.
Real effort is to think about what is the most important thing in the moment. Then prioritize things and go straight to the goal.
Make reasonable time planning, do not scratch the eyebrows of the beard. Spare no effort in the most important things. Refuse to pay attention to leakage and get used to thinking deeply.
03
Always blame yourself excessively
Students in adolescence, the biggest internal friction is to compete with themselves. Poor is painful, and what is more painful than bad is the rejection of one's own badness. After being bad, you still hate yourself, which is internal friction.
People's energy is limited, and when you spend your energy on wondering why you are not good, you will naturally not focus on learning. If there is too much internal consumption, the energy that can be invested externally will naturally be less. Excessive self-blame leads to lack of motivation.
You can pursue excellence, but don't reject yourself when you experience not being excellent. You can be with your bad, forgive yourself and comfort yourself, and then work hard, and that's the energy you're building up.
Enjoy when good, accept when bad. Work hard when you have energy, and rest when you don't have energy.
Remember watching a movie clip:
A person who delays the flight because of the late start, wakes up and thinks that it is late, and it may as well sleep completely. What's the use of chagrin and self-blame? The normal state of life is that A and -A alternately exist, usually it is not under your control, and inadvertently -A happens.
If it's going to happen, why not this time? Thinking like this, you will calmly face the waves of life, and you will only be frustrated and never fail.
The real effort is not to abuse himself more than anyone, not to spend more time than anyone else, nor to do more superficial effort than anyone else, but the total force of concentration, thinking, and self-acceptance.
Excellence is not to take the first place, excellence is to be the best of yourself, get rid of the burden, stride forward.

Some small tips that may help you
1. About timing
The starting point of time management is to learn to deal with the prioritization of things, first consider the "weight" of things, and then consider the "priorities" of things - that is, the "second quadrant organization" we usually use.
Please take a look at the picture below ↓
Always do what is important and not urgent!
The first quadrant is an important and urgent matter. Such as tomorrow's exam, today's revision of the wrong questions, and so on.
The second quadrant is important but not urgent. For example, make a study plan, draw a mind map, analyze the causes of wrong questions, memorize words, and read outside of class.
The third quadrant is something that is neither urgent nor important. Since it's not important or urgent, it's not worth spending time in this quadrant. For example, watching TV and playing with mobile phones.
The fourth quadrant is urgent but not important. On the surface, it seems like the first quadrant, because the urgent voice can give us the illusion that "this matter is important"—in fact, even if it is important, it is to others. Many things that beat your plan fall into this category, such as a friend's sudden invitation to play. We spend a lot of time circling around in this, thinking we're in the first quadrant, but we're just wandering around the fourth quadrant.
Now let's look back at last week's life and study, which quadrant did you spend the most time?
Note that special care should be taken when dividing the first and third quadrants, as urgent matters can easily be mistaken for important ones.
In fact, the difference between the two is whether this event helps to accomplish some important goal, and if the answer is no, it should be included in the third quadrant.
If you always feel that you don't have enough time, you may wish to calm down and think about how your day is spent at the end of each day, and record your schedule according to the minimum time unit of 15-30 minutes.
At the end of each day and week, consider whether there is a more efficient way to arrange it? Is there too much or too little time for entertainment, activities, and breaks?
2. About the study plan
1． Don't try to get everything done.
2． What's at hand isn't necessarily the most important thing.
3． Write out every night what you have to do tomorrow, in order of how important things are.
4． Do the most important things the next day, and don't have to worry about anything else. After the first thing is done, do the second thing, and so on.
5． At night, it doesn't matter if you don't finish the things you've listed, because you've done all the most important things and the rest will be done tomorrow.
3. About inattention
First, create a stable learning environment to ensure that learning is not disturbed by unrelated factors. Snacks, fruit, novels, televisions, and computers should all be avoided in learning environments.
Second, stay away from your phone. Either put the phone far away from yourself and isolate yourself from the space connection with the phone; or lock the phone to increase the cost of getting the pleasure of brushing the phone.
The reason why we can't sit still and study is because when we are studying, we are often disrupted by various entertainment news or variety shows.
For example, you originally wanted to open the class group to see if there was a new homework notification, but you accidentally opened Weibo and the small broken station, brushed and brushed, and unconsciously an afternoon passed.
So don't look at your phone from the beginning, just kill it in the cradle!
