Hello everyone, I am Jingtao. Today we will talk about the tunnel effect that hinders your writing.
I have said before that a good writing method is , which is the card note writing method . This method allows you to build your knowledge system from the bottom up. The notes accumulated in the process can help you write better and even produce good output.
In fact, many successful writers, artists, and scholars use some form of card note-taking to a greater or lesser extent, but why do so few people use such a good method? This has to be said about our current education system. Today's university education is organized in a modular, classified, top-down curriculum, and the knowledge students learn is divided into chunks for teaching. The card note writing method I mentioned is actually a learning method, which is conducted from the bottom up. During the process of
, the knowledge collected is mainly based on one's own preferences, and is developed freely under a certain theme. It is more likely that after absorbing other knowledge, one may have opposite ideas about the previous knowledge and change the knowledge system, but the knowledge one has learned will be more profound.
It requires you to supplement your notes over time, that is, thinking about knowledge . But most of our current students are used to improvising. Often at the end of the semester, when papers need to be submitted, people will focus on searching for information, reviewing courses, etc. It is often at this time that they realize that they need a better system to support their writing and learning, but time is tight and tasks are urgent. The more they are driven by pressure, the more they tend to use their familiar learning methods and stick to their original ways of handling things. Even if this original way of handling the situation caused stress to the students and later problems from the beginning, it would be difficult for the students to change their ways. This is also the so-called tunnel effect in psychology.
The tunnel effect refers to the fact that when people are under pressure and difficulty, they usually can only see immediate and short-term things, and it is difficult to make mid- and long-term considerations. When facing urgent needs, the so-called "tunnel vision" will occur, which makes people unable to think comprehensively when making decisions, and ultimately make unfavorable decisions.
In fact, students who have had this experience should make reasonable plans for the next semester or next step. However, human inertia is often more difficult to change. After the exam, many students return to a relaxed state. This relaxed state continues until the eve of the next exam, or workers put this kind of relaxation If the state of relaxation lasts until the next time you submit a manuscript, such a lazy mentality will not allow you to make continuous improvements. Therefore, if you want to learn to write, you must first maintain a diligent heart. Even if you set aside a small part of time every day to practice writing, it will continue to change your life in the future and make yourself better and better.
This year is the first day of 2023. Make a plan for yourself to learn writing. For yourself and your family, when learning to write, you must first believe in yourself and you will be able to write. As long as you can write, you will be able to write better and better. Come on, students.
Thank you all, I am Jingtao, and I am committed to letting you learn to write in a simple way.
