This article comes from my own fragmentary thoughts. The theme and content of the article were originally derived from some fragmentary notes and ordinary thoughts remembered in the article "Thoughts after the Number of Card Notes Exceeded" . Just like the previous article "About "Tag Management, Thoughts on Knowledge Management Tools" , it started out as a question from my own life practice:
There are too many designs that I haven’t thought clearly about. Why doesn’t flomo support exporting to Yuque? Am I confused between flomo’s positioning and Yuque’s positioning? Why do I need to send it to flomo every time? Yuque It will be posted again inside. Have I organized Yuque's knowledge base too frequently? Maybe I should re-examine the positioning and information, knowledge and knowledge base of flomo and Yuque.
I have always adhered to the concept of " in the process of organizing, the meaning of the tag will naturally reappear ". I use cubox to manage the fragmentary notes of these articles. In my free time, I think about the core concepts of refining these ideas and organize them into an article. Knowledge documentation.

What to learn: Learn something you recognize
record of fragmentary thoughts
Original text: Sometimes I think of something and instinctively think that I will remember it, so I don't record it in flomo, but the result is that I often can't remember it. This is overestimating my own memory, so many times I develop the habit of opening flomo and recording it when I have an idea, and then improve it and add it later.
Perhaps I have misunderstood the concept of this software for recording fragmentary thoughts. What it records is that thoughts are essays, rather than carefully organized information . In other words, what I should record are ideas, inspirations and sources of thinking. Instead of recording systematic knowledge like a knowledge base,
Original text: I thought that recording was the core of flomo, but in fact, recording is just a representation, and the core of flomo is to help better understanding and thinking.
It took me a long time to realize this problem, so I started to consciously think and try to express it better, instead of cramming it into flomo. Records are just appearances. Many times there is a huge self-awareness behind an inconspicuous point of view . What is buried behind the labels of books and Sanshengwushen is a deeper self. The cards are short and can be recorded in words you can understand.
Find your true thoughts
Original text: You must consciously train yourself to maintain the state of thinking and inertia, and go through as many phenomena as possible to see the logic and essence behind it. When applied to work, it means whether you can further think about the logic behind products, users, and data, what is the logic that supports your decision-making points, etc.
If an idea is real and truly recognized by the body of knowledge, then the criticism and forgetting curve will not destroy it but rather strengthen it. In other words, ideas that have not been thought about are fragile because they have not been integrated with your knowledge system and become a part of you.
Furthermore, any knowledge that does not lead to new problems will soon disappear: it cannot maintain the temperature required to sustain life . We eat to maintain our survival, and we think to maintain the survival of our knowledge system. For this we need to continue to learn and improve your vision and professional skills.
There are three ways to keep thinking:
Ask three times why first (to help you figure out the logic or path of this matter)
Learn to discover the essence behind these phenomena (insight)
Be good at using learning resources around you (people, platforms, things)
Plant a seed of growth
Do the things you really like. It doesn’t matter what you understand and what you can do, because a seed of growth has been planted in your heart. We don’t have to worry about what we learn on the spot, these things will take root in us one day in the future.
After you learn it, all you have to do is refine the knowledge :
If you don't classify, the forgetting curve will forget 80% of it in two days.
After classifying, you must refine it, because only when you reach the level of knowledge points can you use it for yourself.
After you have learned too much, you have to refine it into a system, and you have to use the system to turn it into your wisdom.
He is not the seed of growth, he is the seed of laziness, he is not the seed of your growth, he is the weakness of human nature.
Controlling the number of note cards
Original text: Merge and clear existing notes, delete duplicate and useless notes, and focus more on the topic. You cannot add cards at will and control from the source.
Solution after notes exceed the limit: merge notes. Some notes are duplicated and useless. The note-taking system also requires constant work~At the same time, it will force yourself to extract the core ideas in the notes, so that the related card notes can be more focused on the topic of the article.
Original text: It is to add more card note categories, such as study cards, work cards, life cards, character theme cards, corporate theme cards, and country theme cards, so as to expand the capacity of the cards.
Do merging, do subtraction.
The number of topics must also be controlled , try to have three to five (Doing)
Focus on the content , the unity of knowledge and action within the framework of "The University"
Research topics produce various opinions and articles, and generate your own cognition
- Reading and writing get up early
Original text: As for how to focus on the content, the book "The Great Learning" gives a very framework of "inner saint and outer king" and "unity of knowledge and action". Since the content of the framework is for each reader to understand by himself, I hope he can start from self-cultivation slowly. Realize filling in the content and slowly annotate what you understand in "The University" (research topic) and Zhizhi (generate various opinions and articles to improve your own understanding). In the process of self-cultivation, continue to cultivate your mind and make yourself more sincere. Bright and virtuous.
How to focus content? Or how to purposefully choose what you want to record
Select a topic, collect various literature materials based on the topic, link this existing information with your own knowledge system, obtain new perspectives and generate new thinking sparks to enhance your own knowledge. In this process, we are also constantly cultivating ourselves.
How to learn: Optimizing the path is difficult and long
Optimization path: measurable goals
Original text: The things we measure are the things we improve. Only with numbers and clear tracking can we know whether we are getting better or worse. Our lives are determined by how we choose to spend our time and energy each day. Measurement can help us spend this time in a better way and more consistently.
We need to have such self-awareness to quantify those goals that we think are important . Normally we will use some excuses to make us feel good about a goal that has not actually made much progress (shirk or not quantify it, blindly Just do it instead of thinking about how far you have gone). Emotions and feelings are of course important, but when we are immersed in the good feeling we create, we end up lying (the results don’t lie), trying to accomplish goals without quantification, Just like if you can't determine the target's location, you can't expect to hit the bull's-eye .
Another way to explain it better: Goals are measurable
From a utilitarian perspective
From a utilitarian point of view , I think that no matter what you do, you need to know your current progress and how your progress is different from before. In other words, is the time wasted on it worth it and what is it in exchange for? What is exchanged for time cost is not something you agree with. Measure whether you are actually spending your time on things that are important to you.
Purpose-oriented departure
Let’s start from the fact that setting goals is to achieve them. Completing something depends on how efficiently you do it . Efficiently After completing this, you can complete the next one, so improving the efficiency of doing things is inevitable. Can we adjust our strategies to maximize efficiency when doing things : Of course, we can only optimize after quantification, so the goal must be measurable.
The road is long and difficult: how far should we learn?
Before the official launch, you must think clearly about why and how to do it, and the answers to these questions must be obtained based on your own actual situation, rather than imitating others.
Original article: If you want to accelerate learning, develop new skills, and get useful results, there are a few things you have to try. Too often we wait to take action because we think we need to read or research more. What if, as an alternative, we spent less time searching for the best strategy and more time testing the strategies we already have?
The topic of how much learning is enough has always been a curse. I think I may never get the answer in my lifetime.
If you learn deeply, you will waste too much time without much benefit ; if you learn shallowly, you will feel that it is not enough when you use it, so you just keep learning without a clear end goal .
One current plan is to think clearly about the time it takes to reach different depths based on current abilities . What we learn will eventually be used in real life. The test of whether we have learned deeply is based on the effect of application in practice . Should learning continue or is enough, but it’s easy to forget that practice is often the most effective form of learning .
Self-discipline: Be aware of the inertia of thinking
Finally, I will introduce two thinking habits in daily life to end this article:
Availability Heuristic: The availability heuristic refers to a common mistake our brains make, assuming that examples that come easily to mind are also the most important or common things to do.
We overestimate and overestimate the impact of things we can remember, and we underestimate and underestimate the prevalence of events about which we know nothing.
Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias is our tendency to seek out and favor information that confirms our beliefs, while ignoring or discounting information that contradicts our beliefs.
Changing your mind is harder than it seems. The more you believe you know something, the more you filter and ignore all contrary information. Most people don't want new information, they want verified information .
