The quality of thinking determines the quality of life. A person who is superficial and lazy to think is destined to fall into the dilemma of mediocrity. May we all be able to explore the essence of things through deep thinking and achieve growth and leap.
Establish a personal cognitive system
People who learn Xi and work in a passive way often stay in simple information accumulation and a lot of memory, which seems to be effortful, but in fact does not consume much brain power, but only consumes time on simple and repetitive operations.
Active learning Xi not only requires a lot of thinking, but also needs to face the blind spot of knowledge, which not only consumes brain power, but also has to face their own clumsiness, and only people with a strong mentality and correct learning Xi cognition can be competent.
Active output requires sufficient knowledge reserves, and the knowledge reserves can be organized in an orderly manner so that they can be quickly called up when needed.
To build up your personal knowledge system, you may want to try these methods:
Retrieval Xi: Retrieval Xi is to retrieve knowledge through active recall, and truly test the mastery of Xi, which not only clarifies the direction for deliberate Xi, but also forms long-term memory.
Framework-based learning Xi: Framework-based learning Xi is to build a knowledge framework first, and then fill it with details to form a system of fragmented knowledge. In this way, not only can the book be thickened and thinned, but it can also quickly associate relevant knowledge through keywords when you need to use your knowledge.
Feynman's Xi: Feynman's Xi emphasizes the use of one's own simple language to express complex ideas, and only by deeply understanding the content of the Xi can one simplify the connections between ideas and explain them to others in simplified language.
Getting rid of "inefficient efforts"
Inefficient and diligent people are often reluctant to think deeply, thinking that spending energy is equivalent to being positive, and many times they only care about bowing their heads and working hard, immersed in the process of "hard work".
As a result, they seem to be working hard, but in fact they have little effect, and they are of no use except for self-impressing.
Real efficient efforts are not just about time and process. Instead, you can see your own heart, find the right way, review in time, and work hard with high quality.
To get rid of "inefficient efforts", here are a few things you can try:
Set accurate goals and be result-oriented: take specific tasks as the guide, get out of the misunderstanding of only caring about time investment and process accumulation, learn to "start and finish", limit time, and concentrate on the state. Get the rhythm right and hit the bullets in the most effective positions.
Hierarchical tasks and reasonable distribution of work: Prioritize the tasks that do not need to be immersed in the state and arrange them in fragmented times that are not afraid of being interrupted, and arrange the work that requires long-term investment to be carried out at a fixed time and place.
Track and find what works: Try to sift through what works from each day in the past, and then consolidate, summarize, and correct the errors.
Step out of your comfort zone
The speed at which a person grows depends on where you invest your time and energy, whether you choose a low-growth zone or a high-growth zone. The low growth zone is the work that you are familiar with and skilled and repeated over a long period of time, while the high growth zone is the work that can drive personal development and progress. Moving from a low-growth area to a high-growth area is a further upgrade of in-depth thinking.
The best way for a person to change the status quo and make life more hot is to refuse to be stable and dare to step out of his comfort zone.
Take the initiative to endure hardships and do difficult but important things: human knowledge is like a circle, what is unknown outside the circle, and what is known inside the circle. To extend from inside the circle to outside the circle, to acquire new knowledge, to Xi new abilities, it will inevitably be accompanied by labor pains. In the face of the unbearable weight that we may experience in the future, instead of suffering passively, we should take the initiative to endure it now.
Dare to break the game and constantly expand your own boundaries: In this world, there is no so-called once and for all, and there is no high ground for the rest of your life to lie flat. If you don't want to be abandoned by the times, you must continue to break boundaries, deepen your skills, break through cognition, and move forward with the wave of change of the times.
Toss yourself and maintain a sense of crisis: Without a sense of crisis, it is your own biggest crisis. In these ever-changing, fast-changing times, staying in a completely comfortable environment is the greatest cruelty you can have to yourself. Only by stepping out of your comfort zone and rising to challenges can you turn every crisis into an opportunity for your future.
