Maybe you have the same feelings as me - have a strong curiosity about things, a strong desire to learn, see every novel thing want to experience it for yourself, have an interest in everything, but always It is a reality - there is not enough time.
Yes, "no time" has become the mantra of most people. "Work is too busy, there is no time to study." "There are too many things, no time to accompany the family." "There are too many things to do, there is no time to do."...Speak like this, it is too numerous to enumerate.
This seems to be an omnipotent excuse to blame all the factors on the time so that he is paralyzed by a kind of self-comfort that is a reality that does not allow me to do this, but not my lazy. However, is this really the case? I am afraid not necessarily.
The truth is that most people don't have time, but they don't have the energy to focus on one thing. Maybe you will have this feeling. Whenever you want to do something, there are always too many things to update and you want to do. Whenever there is a new idea, there are always more ideas in my mind.
The outside world is always on your side, affecting you all the time because everything looks more attractive than what you are going to do. So you give up the current action.
This cannot be said to be a shortcoming, but it is a bad habit, but don't worry, almost everyone has this bad habit. However, if you already realize it, why not try to change it?
Now, we can act, let us solve the ideas that have been around you for a long time but have not yet been realized. Here are some great ways to help you, that is to learn quickly and efficiently.
The two words that are learning and seemingly extremely simple, the energy behind them is enormous. It can even be said that all the great achievements that mankind has achieved so far are not realized through learning.
As we said before, we have too many ideas and hobbies. We don't have the time and energy to invest in a field for a long time. We need speed and efficiency. Therefore, this makes us unable to accept a lot of time to exchange for a small part of the results, as we accept the traditional learning method, we refuse such inefficiency.
As Anthony Robbins said, in our time, if you want to live an extraordinary life, you have to master the skills of fast learning.
In this regard, you need to follow the 10 methods of effective learning.
1. Collect information
Before learning a skill, it is necessary to first consult the knowledge related to this skill. Take some time to go to the bookstore to check out related books or go online to find relevant information.
In short, you need to have a general understanding of this skill first. But don't try to remember the contents of all the references, unless you want to go crazy. It is the best way to look at it. The main purpose is to form concepts in the mind and understand the necessary steps and information.
2. Overcome difficulties
In early research, there are always references to things you don't understand, such as terms and concepts. Usually, you can't overcome it in a short time, but don't worry, as you understand the in-depth mystery will gradually unravel. Don't give up halfway, prefer to give up temporarily, don't look back and don't throw it away.
If you really encounter a problem that you can't understand anyway, then you may wish to practice it directly. Many times, when you actually do it, the doubts will be solved.
Reluctance to overcome difficulties is a major factor affecting the speed of learning. Stupid feelings are really uncomfortable, but you have to believe in yourself. As the study progresses, the problem will eventually be solved.
3. Association analogy
As the research begins, plus in the early collection of information, you will naturally notice some patterns, or some theory and methods, which may be mentioned repeatedly.
Maybe you have never touched this field before, or you have never heard of these theories and methods. However, once you understand it, you will notice that some new things seem to be familiar to you, and it is easy to predict what will happen next. In this case, we call it "brain-connected", which is to understand new things through association and analogy.
Perhaps in your past life, there has been a kind of cognition that has been intentionally or unintentionally. It is not activated under normal conditions. Once you encounter a scene of acquaintance, it activates the previous cognition and forms the corresponding concept.
4. Reverse thinking
Reverse thinking is well understood, that is, thinking about existing things or phenomena with opposite thinking. People recognize that a thing is usually influenced by transcendentalism, that is, the past cognitive methods of things will unconsciously move into new things, thus forming a comfortable intuition. And reverse thinking allows us to think counter-intuitively and help us to recognize things in more dimensions.
Did not say victory before the first words. Think more about what you can learn, and ask yourself how to avoid failure. In this way, you can detect the factors that may lead to failure before failing, so you can avoid it. This method allows us to learn the essence of everything and minimize errors.
5. Consultation and exchange
For any beginner who wants to master a certain skill more quickly, there is no need to just close the door and ask for it. Instead, ask the professionals in this field first, and then follow the path of development. And after waiting for a certain degree, it is easy to take your own path. This can avoid a lot of rework and useless work.
Especially in today's so advanced information, access to knowledge has become very easy. Find the authority of the industry as much as possible, absorb their experience, and reduce their complicated preparations.
Keep in mind that it is impossible to build a car behind closed doors. The history of China is a good example of this. Whenever you feel like you are reaching a bottleneck, the best way is to find people with the same interests to communicate with each other. This will not only enhance the efficiency of knowledge transfer but also motivate oneself and break the bottleneck.
6. Eliminate interference
Whenever we start something, the biggest difficulty is not the thing itself, but ourselves. The biggest factor affecting efficient learning when external disturbances occur, once the disturbance occurs, we cannot concentrate on learning. Then the learning efficiency is naturally not high.
Therefore, before learning, it is necessary to foresee possible interference and try to reduce or avoid them.
Electronic interference and biological interference are the two largest sources of interference today. Television, mobile phones, and computers are all more attractive than things that are about to begin. Therefore, enhancing self-control is another important issue. Family, colleagues, and friends are biologically disturbed, but we cannot block people. So, when you decide to do something, you may want to tell them directly that you don't want to be disturbed during this time. They will understand.
7. Interval repeat
No great skill is achieved through a lot of repetitive training. Such as calligraphy, painting, martial arts, dance, basketball, and other sports. In general, learning usually has certain requirements for memory. You must recall the last training situation in the next training to make it more proficient.
However, anyone's memory is limited and it is impossible to remember everything. Studies have shown that people's forgetting follows the law of fast and slow. Therefore, repeated intervals are the best way to slow down forgetting.
And, interval repetition can help us review the knowledge and information more systematically. An effective way to remember is to classify knowledge into chunks. Just like a library book, each category is placed in the same place, and you can search directly in the module the next time you look for it. So build your brain into a library.
8. Create a formula
Since human development, most things have formed a complete model. Big enough to govern a country, small to a simple action.
For example, the basketball player free throws: rubbed his hands on the shorts, relaxed his shoulders, took the ball of the referee, took three shots, paused for three seconds, and shot. This is the formula they created, there is no clear text, but it has been subtly accumulated over time.
Building a simple set of formulas can help us learn more easily and more systematically, and greatly reduce the burden of memory. Listing the list is a good way to make it easier for us to find out the key points, focus on the key, and make the training process more systematic.
It can be seen that creating a formula can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
9. Expected testing
When we learn a certain degree, we don't know clearly what level we have learned, and we don't know whether it works in specific practice. Then, you can perform the expected test.
Expected testing refers to relying on past experience to predict changes and outcomes that will occur next before attempting to practice. This kind of prediction is usually not a substitute for practice, but it is a good way to self-feedback.
You can record the assumptions made in your notebook. If you keep thinking about these assumptions and form new ideas. Then your judgment will keep coming close to the truth.
10. Respect for the physiological
People are not machines and can't run 24 hours a day. Our body organs are in their respective physiological systems and each has its own physiological needs. Such as water, air, food, sleep, rest and so on. We can't push ourselves too tightly, even against the physiology, which would be counterproductive.
The brain and body cannot operate efficiently without sufficient energy. Studies have shown that the best learning cycle is about 90 minutes, during which people's energy is most concentrated. Therefore, we can rest and do other things outside of this time.
Timed exercises can maximize time. Set 60-90 minutes in advance so you can remind you whenever do something. Similarly, you can also segment the time, such as taking 25 minutes for each 25 minutes of study, then learning for 25 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, and so on. Specific criteria may vary depending on the situation.
We don't have to follow these 10 principles every time we learn, but the methods are really useful for improving learning efficiency. You can use it selectively, such as using two or three of them at a time, you decide.
Because everyone is different, the method is not suitable for every individual, but the principles contained therein are similar. Learning to understand the essence is the only way to learn. Make bold choices and take a firm step.
No practice, no gain in one's wit.
Theoretical knowledge is always endless, and more important is action. Only practice can truly test the correctness of the theory. If there is no action, then the great theory is just an empty talk on paper.
Therefore, it is better to use these concepts than to memorize them thousands of times.
