Believe me, if you don’t get past these five faults, you’re not going to be able to learn much better.
I. 5 learning error areas to avoid
1. Frequent distraction
I don’t know if you’ve been thinking a lot while you were studying, but you’ve been thinking a lot.
For example, you can open your phone from time to time, look at your friend’s circle, brush your voice, look at the news, even though you know you have to learn, but you can’t always control yourself.
Learning with the most taboo distractions can interrupt the brain’s thinking process, prevent deep thinking, and lead to the extraction of weak nervous links, which is very poor.
When you try to refocus and get the brain into a state of thinking, it takes longer, usually 10-15 minutes.
So, if you’re distracted and your brain’s not easy to get into, it’s a waste of time and learning is very inefficient.
2. Inadequate sleep
In the absence of sleep, the brain is slow, memory is reduced and the ability to solve problems is significantly reduced.
Like computers, if you work long hours, the CPU temperature increases, the speed of running changes.
3. Expedition to deliver
Many learn too much of the speed and are eager to achieve it. For example, in pursuit of reading speed, how many days do you finish reading a book? In The Way of Learning, it is said that learning is like building walls in a house, and you cannot pursue the speed of building walls, and it takes some time to wait for cement to be solid.
Too much of the pace of learning, knowledge cannot be linked to knowledge and can only be an isolated point, and such knowledge can easily be forgotten.
All eyes are marked.
Some of the students read the book, and when they met important places, they drew it out with a pen, which led to the discovery that the entire book was the focus of the mark.
It’s a common power illusion. Marking is what you think you have. In fact, it’s too much of a focus to create a brain that escapes.
Repeat exercise
A knowledge point has been acquired and repeated, which is actually a comfort zone. Not only is time wasted, but it also leads to a mindset.
Intentional Practice tells us that real masters are avoiding comfort zones. If some of your knowledge is easy to learn, you don’t have to waste time, you can challenge more difficult questions.
Too much of the pace of learning, knowledge cannot be linked to knowledge and can only be an isolated point, and such knowledge can easily be forgotten.
When you look at the solution, you feel you have it.
Some of our classmates have taken a look at the questions and thought it was easy to think that they were in control.
If you don’t look at the answers, think for yourself, come up with the solutions, and do the right thing, that’s what matters.
How, then, can these problems be addressed and learning outcomes improved? Keep looking down.
II. Stay focused and fast into learning
As already mentioned, attention is not focused and the brain cannot think in depth.
So, how can you keep your focus, first and foremost, on your super strong ability to learn? I recommend three ways.
1.3 Zen
If you’re distracted, stop for three seconds, ask yourself a few questions, ask yourself a few questions:
1. What do I do?
Why?
Can you do it later?
At first I suggest you write it down in a pen. For example, when you pick up your phone to brush your voice, you write it on paper, and soon your desire to brush your voice disappears.
2. Tomatowork
If you work with tomatoes, you can. There is a lot of such software.
3. Metering
The third approach is meditation, which has many benefits, not only in terms of increasing focus, but also in terms of improving negative emotions and the quality of sleep.
However, meditation leads to increased attention, which is usually slower and less variable in the short term and can be used in conjunction with the first two.
These methods, as we mentioned earlier, are just a brief introduction.
III. Efficient learning methods
Efficient learning requires matching the treatment of information by the brain, which processes information input — information processing — and knowledge output.
1. Information input
To ensure efficient learning, first and foremost, it is important to ensure that information is of a quality that does not allow irrelevant, poor information to enter the brain, otherwise it would be a waste of time, so you need to learn to filter, simplify and extract critical information.
For example, if you read a book, word by word, it is slower.
So how?
(1) Problem orientation
Our aim of learning should be to upgrade a certain capacity or to solve a problem. In other words, learning with problems is the most efficient.
For example, the boss asked me to plan a speech at the meeting next week.
But I didn’t make PPT before. So I bought a PPT course, and I gave priority to what I needed to solve, and soon I finished the PPT, and I couldn’t say it was beautiful, but 60-70 points could be achieved.
And, as I have done in the past, I have sought several books on bean petals to address this problem, finalized Self-Control, looked at the table of contents and the presentation of chapters, defined the focus of learning and quickly improved the problem of delays.
Issue-oriented learning is highly efficient.
(2) Clear Learning Focus
Access to a book is not an immediate reading, but a focus on learning. If some chapters are already more proficient, then we can skip and focus on those parts that you will not, and that need to be addressed.
This is the importance of pre-learning, which is not about early learning, but about identifying the focus of one ‘ s own learning needs.
(3) Extracting critical information
When we read, we find a phenomenon, and the author spends a lot of time trying to justify a certain point of view.
In fact, the whole book, with the removal of the part of the argument, could be reduced to 10,000 words, which is the essence of the whole book, after leaving a really useful point.
So, for the first reading, we want to go over it very quickly and focus on the bold words, the charts and the inspirational part.
All of the above are quick-screened key knowledge points with clear learning priorities.
2. Information processing
When we begin to learn, the knowledge that we have gained is still too thin and unsophisticated, and if we can remember it with a hard back, it will soon be forgotten, so the knowledge will be remembered only if it is consciously processed so that the knowledge we have just learned and the knowledge we have learned can be linked, understood and systematized.
So how do you process it?
(1) Images, analogies and metaphors
Our right brain is connected to the center of vision, so it’s easier for the brain to remember vivid scenes, images. So, in the course of learning, images can help us remember, if you can build some live scenes by analogy or metaphor. This is where the idea of the memory palace comes from.
Here I give another example.
In high school biology, biology teachers teach us how to remember the effects of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) on plants.
That’s what the teacher said, you see phosphorus P, the first half of which is round, and you see it as a round fruit, so phosphorus (P) promotes the growth of fruit; nitrogen N looks like a leaf, so nitrogen (N) promotes the growth of plant leaves; and potassium (K) looks like a stand that supports the main stem, so potassium (K) promotes the growth of plants and the staves.
This method of memory, even after so many years, is still fresh and difficult to forget, which is the strength of analogies.
We can also learn by using pictures, analogies and metaphors to deepen understanding and memory.
(2) Label Reading Method
This method comes from the book “Read is enough.”
How?
At the heart of the story is “clip + awareness.”
Excerpts refer to the removal of inspirational elements. Awareness, which is to write down what you have seen, and to reflect on how to improve it in the light of past experiences.
“Search + Awareness” is a very effective way of linking knowledge and past experience.
Only by creating a link between knowledge and knowledge can you truly be useful and change your thinking and behaviour.
I used to read books. I always took notes of books. But for a long time, it’s easy to forget.
Later on, reading the Onion Reading Act, the book referred to an error in reading that “all knowledge should be remembered”.
I was inspired by that view, so I wrote down the message.
In the end, I changed the way I read, and the speed and quality of reading improved considerably.
This is the advantage of “clip + awareness.”
Our learning is that we want to use the knowledge we have learned to bring about a change in thinking and behaviour, and if you seek speed, you cannot reflect on past practices, and thus make little difference.
Label reading is a very good method, which is the longest-used part of the learning process.
(3) Abinghos Learning Method
The famous psychologist Ebinghos found that the knowledge we have learned has become less and less to remember over time.
Just learned, 20 minutes later, less than 60; one day later, probably less than a third. This also explains why pre-appearance pre-academic surprises are beginning to remember some knowledge, but after a few days, little is known.
How can learning be made more efficient in this case?
a. Timely reflection
One day after learning, most of the knowledge will be forgotten. So, every time you read a chapter or take a lesson, you have to think back within 24 hours. You can do this before you go to sleep, because in sleep, the brain consolidates knowledge and strengthens memory models.
b. Self-testing
Write your often missed or wrong point of knowledge on the card and write the answer on the other side of the card. Then they take a spot test, test themselves, and strengthen their memory.
(4) Structure knowledge
Even if you take notes, you often think about it, but it’s a time when knowledge is isolated, fragmented and cannot be linked.
It’s like giving you a bunch of car parts, and you can’t get them assembled into a car and then get on the highway.
If knowledge is structured, sorted and organized into a system, then we can systematically address a particular category of problems.
How, then, can knowledge systems be established?
You’ve finished a book, and you’ve written it, and you’ve put it in the subject.
For example, I created a theme for “competence management” where all the knowledge about it is here.
In the event of doubt, a solution would soon be found to the problem.
Of course, the content of each of the preceding themes is still very small and requires your constant filling.
And when it gets richer, it becomes your personal library.
Your knowledge has become systematic, seeing the problem no longer as a matter of point-of-view thinking, but rather as a larger pattern.
It should be noted that there are several themes in a book, such as how to learn, how to focus, how to remember efficiently, etc., and you need to break them down into several themes and place them in the respective themes.
It’s hard to see effects in the short term, but you can feel its power for a long time.
3. Knowledge output
It is practical application, and knowledge can make a real difference only if applied in practice.
Why is it that some people who read so many books and know so many things and still have a hard life? The reason is not to learn to practice, of course it will not change.
Here, it has to be said that learning is a pyramid, with active and passive learning. However, many of our fellow students have finished their classes and finished their books, and this knowledge retention rate is low and will not change much.
Why is active learning the best? Because in our discussions, in our practice, in the teaching of others, knowledge and knowledge are linked and networked, and this learning method is the most effective.
Here, the most recommended thing is to teach others what you have learned. You can repeat what you have learned to your friends, or you can write it into an article, in public, in the public domain.
In the process, you recompile complex, fragmented knowledge so that readers can see simple, institutionalized content, which is the best way to learn.
For every poem written by White Gui Yi, it is for the illiterate old lady. If the old woman does not understand, he changes it until the old woman can understand it. Making complex knowledge simple and interesting is a very important ability that we should practice deliberately.
Finally, I’ll give you two more words:
1. To enhance their learning skills and, above all, to act, from now on. This time is never short of ideas, and those who are active are the most valuable.
2. Don ‘ t make excuses for “do it later” and translate it “never do it”. Don’t say it’s too late. It’s never too late to learn. When to learn, when to benefit. Case number: YXA1MDvMBv4tRnkBAllhwmwQ
I don’t know.
Keep your eyes on the road.
