Make a study list and rank the order of importance.
Learn intensely, learn one thing, transform it, and come back to it.
When you can't figure out what to do, move first.
Make yourself quiet.
1. Make a study list and rank the order of importance.
Many people have enrolled in a number of micro-courses, so they make themselves very busy, get up every morning for half an hour to listen to this class, and listen to that class at night after work, the time schedule is very tight, however - not much use, but more and more anxious, because there is always so much to learn, for fear that they will not be able to catch up, so they are Keep learning, learning, learning, and yet find that many more lessons appear, and so keep learning, learning, learning.
The time spent on "input" is too much for "output".
The time spent on "learning" is too much for "using".
Because you don't see results, you panic more and take more lessons.
For the anxious, painfully busy learning enthusiasts, my suggestion is:
In the Excel table, statistics on the current courses in the study, to make a clear list, some of them have a time limit, you can listen to the first, can be put to use skills, immediately go to use, can not be, after listening to the relevant information stored, if there is a replay such as Zhihu Live, temporary! If you can't use the skills, you can put them away first.
Then, take the parts of this list that remain, and rank them in order of excellence. Think about the ones that are relevant to your goals, then list the order in which you want to learn them, then prioritize your plan. Be organized and busy, but not disorganized.
The emphasis is on application. Use what you learn. This is the best way to memorize. Don't memorize by rote, transform knowledge into thought patterns or skills that become an integral part of yourself. And, if there is a better one, update it, don't stick to it. Don't let the world outside use windows 10 and your operating system is still DOS.
Learn as you need to, not as you need to, and don't be totally dependent on outside pressures. Other people are great, but their methods may not be right for you.
2, high-intensity learning, learn the same, transform the same, and then the same.
Some people's learning is multi-threaded, at the same time to start a number of different categories of learning, and did not reach the level of integration, only in the different categories of switching, it is very consuming brain power.
High-intensity learning means giving yourself a cycle, such as a month, focusing on a certain learning theme, for example, my learning theme in February was movies, so I watched more than three dozen movies, three episodes of the show, I would match with simple things such as DIY candles, and there was no delay in the work, etc., but that's because of the different brain capacity of us Mercurials and the earthlings, hehehe (smug face).
3. When you can't figure out what to do, move first.
The more things that are in front of you, the more people tend to get tangled up and don't know how to choose.
So the first thing you should do is have goals, and then you can divide the importance.
When you can't establish a goal yet, if you get into a tangle, you might as well move first.
There are many ways to move.
One is to really move, exercise, around must prepare a pair of running shoes, if you can't make up your mind, put on running shoes, first go out to walk or run, so that at least it will not waste time, at least in the movement of a strong body. And often the movement will have a chain reaction, is because the whole body is moving, the brain is active, the decision is strong, the process of movement or the end of the movement often know how to proceed next.
The second is to pick up a thing to do, do not do the process of non-stop interruptions, but first complete a small cycle and then say, first seek to complete, do not seek perfection. Because finished, a little sense of accomplishment, but also more willing to carry out other things. If everything is left there unfinished, it triggers greater anxiety.
4. Let yourself be still.
True "stillness" is also an action.
Yes, you read that right.
Many people neglect sleep because they are so pressed for it, yet sleep is an important organizing process, and if the brain is constantly missing this link, memory and transformation can be severely affected.
Many people are too busy and as a result there is a lack of thinking.
So there is a need to give yourself a quiet moment.
This moment can be sleep, meditation, or some other form of relaxation.
Meditation, too, is the means I use most often. And being the hedonistic type, I usually light scented candles, put an electric moxa salt bag on my lap, and put on a Kao steam eye mask when I meditate, so that the whole person can be in a very warm state and the aroma is relaxing. Watching movies in high density can be counterproductive if you don't relax moderately especially resting your eyes and brain.
