Preface
“熵增过程是一个自发的由有序向无序发展的过程。”这是百度百科对熵增的解释，但是今天我要说的熵增不是物理学中的熵增，而是关乎我们的工作学习的一种走出舒适区的思维模式。
What is entropy increase?
In layman's terms, everything will automatically develop in the direction of chaos. We can cite a few small examples in life. We have just cleaned a room in life. As long as we do not deliberately maintain the environment every day, within a week, the whole room will become dirty and messy again. This is actually the increase of entropy. principle. Of course, the same goes for people. People always want to do things that they think are easy and comfortable. People will always develop in a "chaotic" direction without external intervention. We may glance at the messages on our mobile phones while working, and then start browsing Douyin on our mobile phones. This is also a manifestation of entropy increase. Entropy increase can actually be seen everywhere in our lives, and now we more often use the words procrastination or lack of self-discipline to describe the phenomenon of entropy increase.
How to combat entropy increase?
1. Clarify the characteristics and rules of entropy increase
First of all, we must make it clear that entropy increase is inevitable in the development of things. If people do not deliberately maintain and regulate their own behavior, the phenomenon of entropy increase will occur. After clarifying this point, we need to maintain the norms and requirements for our own behavior at all times in our lives and work.
2. Regulate yourself through deliberate practice
We all know that deliberate practice is a very effective way of learning. In the definition of deliberate practice, there are two zones: the comfort zone and the learning zone. The development of entropy will make us move closer to the comfort zone, and this This is what we want to avoid, so through deliberate practice we put ourselves in a learning zone that challenges our ability to withstand it. In the learning zone, we achieve proficiency through a large number of repetitions and deliberate connections, constantly revise to make the learning zone programming comfort zone, and then continue. Find new study areas for new challenges. This kind of learning method can keep ourselves in a state of being challenged, and in this way help us resist the increase of entropy.
Summarize
Entropy increase is a phenomenon that allows us to enter our comfort zone. We can avoid and resist entropy increase through deliberate practice in our lives.
