The best performance today is the lowest requirement tomorrow.
1. How to read the text?
1. Find a fixed uninterrupted time to read carefully.
2. In the fragmented time, read a piece of content each time. The most important thing is to read every word exactly, and then stop, extract the way of thinking that you think is right from the text with critical thinking, and associate and transfer the way of thinking to yourself, and internalize it through practice. My own cognition is a very successful reading.
2. Begin to understand "cognitive upgrading"
1. The first time: I saw cognitive upgrading from the article, thought that cognitive upgrading was brainwashing, it was chicken soup, and dismissed it. Everyone understands the truth. Most people still live the same life, there is no difference.
2. The second time: I heard cognitive upgrading from the venue. An expert in a large conference hall was talking about cognitive upgrading. I felt that cognitive upgrading was a bit interesting, and I started to understand cognitive upgrading slowly, but I still didn’t understand cognitive upgrading. The value of the upgrade.
3. The third time: Aware of cognitive upgrades in practice, I found that "everyone understands chicken soup, and they are almost mixed in the workplace", and there is another version, "Some people in the workplace can still use cognitive upgrades reasonably Stand out from the crowd, mix well", the easiest way to start is to start with the cognitive upgrade of time management, and feel the powerful power of cognitive upgrade. Since changing a way of thinking about time management, I have gradually become self-disciplined and thoughtful, and the compound interest of growth has gradually improved, and I feel the value of cognitive upgrading, but I still have no ability to define cognitive upgrading.
4. The fourth time: starting from altruism to define cognitive upgrading, starting to make cognitive upgrading PPTs for the team, sharing cognitive upgrading with others, and discovering that some people's behavior, work, thinking, etc. are slowly changing, and these changes The students will definitely exceed their expectations in the future and become even better. At this time, cognitive upgrading can be clearly defined.
3. Definition of Cognitive Upgrade:
Cognitive upgrading is connection, which is an excellent way of thinking, connecting the shortest path to solve problems, and connecting all excellent methods. For example: the word time management, "I can't find uninterrupted time to invest in myself", when it comes to execution, it is immediately connected to "think about it first, and then do it step by step", when it comes to "change habits, immediately connect When the trigger condition occurs and enters the next behavior, answer multiple-choice questions”. Through the change of cognitive upgrading, we will inspire ourselves to think and make changes in behavior, which will affect our judgment and improve our ability. To be precise, cognitive upgrading subverts our thinking habits and allows us to go beyond our instincts. Thinking, getting rid of old intuitions and experiences, and establishing new intuitions and experiences.
1. Thinking brain and reflexive brain: Listening to a wonderful speech will not only give you instant enjoyment and satisfaction in the spirit, but more importantly, there will always be a few key words that stimulate our nerves, allowing us to generate instant memories, do This is why I love to listen to great people's speeches. It's not because I want to hear the wonderful stories of his business startups, but because his speeches always give people a feeling of enlightenment, and the process of all these speeches revealed Wisdom and foresight are not immediately thought of on the stage, but the abstraction and abstraction of countless thoughts in the audience. Speech on stage is reflection, preparation off stage is logic and thinking, the so-called one minute on stage, 10 years off stage, what is the relationship between reflection and thinking? Start the first cognition: Thinking Brain and Reflecting Brain. In the book "Slow Thinking" by INSEAD professor Theo Compnoli, the brain is divided into the reflex brain, the intuitive brain, and the memory brain. To put it simply, it means thinking about brain management, reflecting brain tube intuition, and storing brain tube memory. Intuition depends on habits, and responding with intuition is fast, but not necessarily correct; thinking about brain management, rationality relies on logic, which is slow but more accurate. correct.
a. Concentrate on input: read and listen to every word, and continue to deeply understand the logic behind the author's words and language, which will generate your own logical thinking, the collision of logic and opinions, and your own logic Where are the logical differences and similarities with the author? This is the only way to repeatedly train logical thinking. Without this step, the result is the result of cramming education. Most of the time, you know the result but don’t know the principle.
b. Focus on output: Do PPT regularly for sharing. This is an irreplaceable high-quality logical training method in the process of reading and learning. It is a more demanding logical abstract training. With more times, the logic in the book becomes my own intuitive reflection, which enriches the effective structured knowledge in 95% of my area.
c. Summary: For us, if we want to have no anxiety and live a solid life, we should turn extensive reading into intensive reading and detailed logic training, reflect the low-quality habits in 95%, and train them into high-level after logic The quality is used to reflection, the training process will be very painful, but once the intuition is practiced, it will become very natural. Jiuyang Shengong is the supreme skill for the foundation of martial arts. The so-called intuition is to improve the accuracy of one's intuition through a lot of repeated logical training, from a narrow 5% to a broad 95%;
1. Take it for granted: It takes a lot of time to guarantee high-quality habit reflection after training the low-quality habit reflection out of 95%. But for us in the era of mobile Internet, electronic devices have brought great convenience to human life and travel, and at the same time, human beings have become dependent on them to the point of inseparability. The key to our understanding of habits and whether we can make learning and reading a habit is whether we can be aware of emergencies and adjust our behavior in these emergencies. When unexpected situations such as ineffective social interaction occur, if you can ignore them or deal with them later, you will naturally become accustomed to learning and reading. Note that this is the most critical entry point for awareness to change habits. On the one hand, it is to ignore invalid behaviors, and on the other hand, it is to start learning and reading. As long as you make a behavior replacement, you can change your habits. The so-called habit change is to let yourself do the right choice when the starting condition occurs and enters the next behavior.
2. Time management: 38 theory. In the second link, "Used to be used to it", it is mentioned that the way to form a habit is to let yourself do a correct multiple-choice question when the trigger condition occurs, break the old habit loop, and establish a new habit loop. That is to say, when it is a multiple-choice question, it is time for learning and thinking. This is part of time management, squeezing time out of existing affairs. But this part of the time should not be used for learning, we need systematic cognitive time management.
a. There are two kinds of people in the world who do not need to manage time. One kind of people does not manage time when they have time, and the other kind does not manage time when they have no time. There are both subjective and objective reasons. The objective reason is that the work is too busy, and it is really difficult to have time for study; the subjective reason is that there is time for other things, but no time for study and thinking. No matter what kind of people, they have always had a need for time management deep in their hearts, and knowledge has not found a useful time management method, and finally gave up.
b. Where there is demand, there must be supply. You can find many time management books on the market. Many methods have been used, such as the four quadrants of time management, tomato seeds, time planning, etc. After persisting for a period of time, they still return to the original state. The reason what is it I think the most fundamental reason is that it is too complicated, and there is no way to change our consensus and establish the awareness of time management with one sentence.
c. For example, we often use planning to manage time and do things at what time, but people are not machines after all, there will always be accidents, and we cannot follow the process step by step, and the plan will always be disrupted. Chaos can be chaos. If you want to keep the plan running as scheduled, you will bring a very heavy burden on yourself. The burden comes from a lot of energy spent on managing the plan, and each plan may not be completed as expected. After a long time, it is best to give up choose.
d. Of course, these event management methods or the Pomodoro clock are definitely useful, but complicated things are not suitable for most people, otherwise many people will not know that there are many time management methods, but they are still very anxious about time management, because it is difficult Execute. We must find a simple way to make most people adaptable without becoming a burden. The understanding of time management is the third cognitive upgrade, which is the 38 theory of time management.
e. The 38-hour theory of time management, everyone has a fair 24 hours a day, the first eight hours are used for sleeping, the second eight hours are used for work, and the third eight hours are used for free control, but the relationship between people and people The gap is mainly determined by the third eight hours. Whether the third eight hours is used for consumption, trading or investment has a very big difference in life.
f. Uninterrupted time:
i. Before going to bed: everyone has this time between going home at night and before going to bed. You can spare at least 40 minutes to study here. It is recommended to go to bed before 11:30 to prepare for getting up early.
ii. Wake up early: If the daily sleep time is shortened from eight hours to seven hours, one hour of study time can be spared every morning.
iii. Before the dinner party:
a. The so-called time management is to find uninterrupted time to invest in your own growth.
1. The most important wealth: attention. For most people, there are three very important concerns, namely time, money and attention. Among them, I think money is the least important among the three. On the contrary, non-material attention and time are more important. Money cannot be earned back through improving abilities, and it can be earned back 100%. Time and attention are One-time consumption, once used, it will be gone. Although there will be new time and attention to replenish the next day, you must know that life is being lost, and the time and attention consumed in the past belong to one-time consumption.
a. In the cognition upgrade of event management, we already have the cognition "find undisturbed time to invest in yourself". The cognition upgrade of time management in this section is to upgrade the cognition of attention, so that one's attention can be used to invest in one's own growth path in the uninterrupted time. Time is a container, and attention is a weapon. Well, grow fast.
b. Do you still remember what you watched yesterday, last week, and last month? Further distinguish the content you have read: those are growth? Are those talk stuff or don't even get a chance to talk? A good question itself is a good answer. Think back to where you used your attention in the third eight hours of free time, whether it was for investment or consumption. If you realize that your attention was used for consumption in the past If you haven’t realized it yet, it is recommended to read the cognition of "time management" verbatim, and then figure out whether time is used for investment or consumption, which has a huge meaning in life.
c. Looking at the current lifestyle from the two questions I asked myself, there are many seemingly reasonable life phenomena in life, but they are actually a huge pit. It is others who harvest our attention and turn it into traffic to generate commercial value, but we unexpectedly We enjoy it, because we like to join in the fun inexplicably, like to follow the crowd, and like to do what everyone is doing. We spend a lot of time on it every day, but we gain very little growth, because we are all spending time and paying attention to it. Strength instead of investing time in your own growth.
d. We think that doing what everyone is doing is to find a sense of belonging and a sense of security, but in fact the real sense of security, sense of accomplishment, and sense of belonging come from self-growth and self-precipitation. For us who live in the era of information explosion, it is very difficult to use our attention well. There are traps and temptations everywhere, which reduce our thinking everywhere and let us easily obtain finished products. The result is that on the surface we We know a lot, but in fact our understanding is very superficial.
e. For such a huge pit, it is not recommended that you give up 100% of the time. For social animals, it is still necessary to establish a connection with the outside world and have conversations with people around you, but we need to adjust our attention and focus 100% of the original attention. According to the degree of control over oneself, let most of your attention be invested in your own growth, reduce your circle of friends, and reduce your investment in news and entertainment.
f. Let’s explain a common phenomenon again. Why is my concentration so good when I watch a movie, but I can’t concentrate when I’m doing business? , First of all, you need to accept this reality. Medically, this is called attention deficit syndrome. Basically everyone has this problem, because doing business is boring, difficult, uncomfortable, unable to concentrate, and avoidance is normal. Secondly, find a way to improve, usually you can do this, prepare a notebook for yourself, think while doing it, and record important things by the way, it will be more difficult at first, but as you stick to it, you will find that the thinking will become better The deeper you go, the longer your concentration time will be. Or practice reading without missing a word. During the practice process, because the reading is correct, you will understand the logical relationship of the content more seriously, so as to achieve the purpose of improving concentration.
g. Once the cognition of attention and time management is combined, we can say excitedly, "In the uninterrupted time, use good attention to invest in our own growth, and our life will become different. Meet a better self in the future", the so-called improvement of attention is to focus on the target affairs until the expected results are produced.
1. The means of getting results, execution: execution and self-discipline appear very frequently in our work and life, because they are two keywords that we must have when we grow or accomplish things, but for a long time Inside, there is a lot of doubt about improving execution. At the same time, in the work scene, the boss may be asked many times to improve the execution ability, which is abstract and specific, but often only the requirements for improving the execution ability do not have the method and cognition of how to improve it. performance phenomenon.
a. The reason for this phenomenon is that our cognition is easy to accept the views summarized by the predecessors, because it is too reasonable, so we accept it with pleasure, and then pass the views to other people again like passing a ball, but There is a lack of methods to form opinions on the entire communication link, that is, when everyone hears and sees, many times the knowledge results lack the input of the process, and what they see is the success of others, but they cannot see how others succeed.
b. Most people ask themselves to improve their execution ability, but they give up after a period of time. Then I figured out one thing. Everyone has at least multiple roles in their body. From the perspective of cognitive roles, there are two roles. One is an investor, who invests in his own growth; the other is a consumer, who consumes his own time and attention and rarely pays attention to himself. growing up. We have been playing these two roles all our lives, playing games with each other, growing and winning and continuing to grow, and consumers winning and standing still. However, consumers often win, because consumers spend time and attention on Moments, watching entertainment news, doing what everyone is doing, and feel that they have found a sense of belonging and security, and their brains can immediately get timely rewards, while The brain controls our thinking and behavior. Once consumers occupy the brain, they also control our daily thinking behavior.
c. To improve execution, first let yourself become an investor, invest in your own growth, and invest in the right things. At this time, it is meaningful to recognize execution. Take it one step at a time." If you can't figure it out, you can't even talk about execution. At the same time, when improving executive power, self-discipline is also required. Through self-discipline, the executive power can be sustained. We must believe that continuous investment in our own growth can achieve the compound interest effect of "slowly grow the fastest".
d. Many times, we know, or have been reminded, or asked, that we need to improve execution and self-discipline, but we don’t know the behavior guidance method behind execution ability. Now we have the behavior guidance method behind execution ability: "Think clearly, Do it step by step." At this time, we need to have speculative thinking, and through practice, "think clearly, and then do it step by step" into our own cognitive methods to guide our entire life.
1. Noble person: Four situations where you feel that you lack noble person:
a. I am not confident and do not believe that I can influence others, resulting in a lack of active communication, long-term communication, and lack of continuity and habit of communication.
b. Problems with your own mentality. If your mentality is not positive enough, no noble person will dare to enter your thinking space. Because the values do not match, it is difficult to form a cognitive consensus.
c. Workplace reasons: Many times your boss may be your noble person, but because of the workplace, because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, because of face, I dare not communicate more and ask for advice.
d. Noble people come and go, there are noble people to help you change and help you improve, but you don’t work hard, and you wander around the workplace with the mentality and methods of doing things in the past. The progress is not obvious, which negates his value and value as a noble person significance.
e. Finally: If there happens to be such a noble person, you should know how to cherish it. The main way to cherish it is to repay him with growth, because your growth can help him in the future. At the same time, it is necessary to establish effective communication in normal times. First of all, let the noble person really understand you. After confirming that the noble person can help you and influence you, you should boldly undertake some challenging things, even if you encounter grievances, pressure, or failure. , You must believe that you are the real you at this time, your ceiling, your bottleneck lies in this, rely on noble people to help you improve your ability, and next time the same thing comes, you will be able to handle it with ease, this kind of ability exercise Opportunities are very few, which is very much in line with what Ali often said about cultivating people by borrowing troubles. It doesn’t matter if things fail.
