Learning is our lifelong homework.
Live until old age, learn until old age, and self-study is our pursuit and practice in life.
Many entrepreneurs have transformed from self-study, such as Li Ka-shing .
He lost his father in his early years and had to terminate his studies at the age of 15 and go out to work hard. But at that time, he wanted to study so much, so he went to the old bookstore to buy old books and study them. After studying, he sold them to the old bookstore, and then exchanged money for new old textbooks.
Li Ka-shing learned his own knowledge and saved money, killing two birds with one stone. " My little wisdom is forced by the environment."
No matter what situation we are in, studying or self-study has always been one of the best ways for us to find a way out.
As Darwin said, "Any valuable knowledge I have learned is obtained from self-study."
So, as ordinary people, how should we learn by ourselves? Is there a shortcut or solution to self-study?
I was fortunate to meet the "Self-study Collection" of "Reading Monkeys", and I have a deeper understanding of learning and self-study.
It turns out that if you want to learn by yourself and achieve great things, persistence is the most important thing. If you want to persevere, you must first be cognitively awake and clear-headed.
1. Why is it difficult to persevere in self-study?
We are all people who love to learn, but we always feel anxious and feel that we have made rapid progress in our studies and seem to have been abandoned by our peers.
"Self-study Collection" reminds us: " The biggest reason why a person is poor in his studies is that he has not arranged enough study time for himself. That is to say, he failed to put the study in a more important position in his life. "
"No matter how effective the learning method is, as long as he can't persist, it's meaningless."
"It's not difficult to start self-study, but it's difficult to persist."
Sometimes, it's not that your learning method is problematic, but that you think too much and do too little, and don't put the study in the first place in your life, and there is a lack of time to wait for a flower to bloom or a tree to grow branches and leaves.
2. Is it really meaningful to make a plan?
Regarding learning, our first reaction is: make a plan and then learn.
But is it really useful to make a plan?
Remember, Dwight Eisenhower has a famous saying: "That is, 'plan' is useless, but making plans is essential.
"As long as you make plans seriously, we can see the upper limit of our ability and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of our situation. "
Sometimes, we always feel that learning lacks motivation and don't know how to start.
"Self-study Collection" tells us: There is no need to wait until we have motivation to start. " people do not have motivation first and then start acting, but gain motivation from action. ”
From this perspective, from the perspective of doing something and achieving results, people will be motivated, thus forming a virtuous cycle. Therefore, we need to set small goals to avoid unnecessary frustration, make progress in small steps, and slowly accumulate a sense of accomplishment, and you will naturally be able to do things well.
3. People with procrastination can try these two methods
There are 55 learning methods in "Self-study Collection", , "Draw a Thumbnail of the Future" and "Two-minute Starting Method" are particularly suitable for learners who love procrastination.
The steps are very simple, which can be divided into three steps:
first, numericalize the "goal you want to achieve"
second, set one percent of the target value as a small goal, and complete
immediately third, if one percent is still difficult to complete, then just do a little bit of
first, Of course, as a procrastination patient, many people still do not take action even if they set decomposition goals. If
wants to start self-study quickly, we can try the "two-minute starting method".
"two-minute starting method" is actually very simple, just press the timer, learn immediately, and stop in two minutes.After stopping, you can choose to continue learning or start other content (timed for another two minutes), or stop learning directly.
This method is especially suitable for procrastination or perfectionists, allowing you to let go of the heavy burden of thought and make you realize that learning is not that difficult, and once it starts, everything is easy to do.
For example, we plan to get up early every day to run, but there are always one or another situations, which become an excuse for us to be lazy or procrastinate. According to the "two-minute starting method", you can tell yourself to run for 2 minutes first, and then you will feel much more relaxed. Just put on your running shoes and go out happily. Then today's running plan will be more than half successful.
4. How should we start learning?
In addition, if you want to determine what you should learn, we can adopt the self-study method: count the knowledge in the brain (knowledge map).
First, find a field or topic that you are interested in, write down all the relevant content you can think of, without having to follow a specific order;
Second, after writing all, look back, circle the projects you have learned in square frames
Third, choose the projects you are more interested in or seemingly important from these boxes, and check the relevant knowledge below. After searching, you can add a layer of box (double-layer box) for
. After searching some words, read the content you wrote again, connect the items that seem to be related with lines
. Fifth, repeat 3 and 4 steps until the content of knowledge map is roughly determined and no longer expand or change. Then choose the projects you want to know more about in detail from all the projects and circle them in circles.
6th, select a project of your latest interest from the circle for blood deficiency and expansion
7th, as learning or research continues to deepen, constantly revise the knowledge map
To put it bluntly, it is to build a simple version of the "understanding system tree", go deeper and study bit by bit, focus on key projects or concepts of your interest or in this field, and gradually become professional, knowledgeable and profound.
5.Written at the end
In general, the "Self-study Collection" collects 55 scientific and practical self-study methods to help every thirsty person to swim happily in the ocean of knowledge and embark on a great journey of self-study.
Regarding self-study, there are always people who say: The method is not important, the key is to take action and start learning.
is both right and wrong. It is certainly absolutely important to act and persevere to the end, but mastering some scientific methods will make you more motivated, in a better state, and be able to persevere, and learn more easily.
I remembered "Writing is a Craft" and mentioned that there is a current situation:
" Some people are unwilling to learn. They like to explore on their own, but when they climb to the 30th floor, the least they want to see is: there is an elevator. "
In fact, whether it is writing or learning other languages or skills, self-study and practice are very important, but it is necessary to master certain skills and methods. However, there is actually no need to step on the pits and thunders encountered by others.
I hope the "Self-study Collection" can help you avoid detours and give you some help and inspiration.
