Although there are only 28 days in February, I wrote the date of the 29th. Fortunately, I found it in time. I almost forgot to take the birthday cake ordered by my front foot.
Fortunately, since I saw the front and side of Zeng Guofan, I have started the mode of keeping a diary in my hand account, thinking that although I may not be able to do Zeng Guofan's "three provinces and myself", at least it has played the role of reminder and memo. Seriously, it really helps.
After listening to my friend Bei Ni's account sharing before, I know that there is an account mode called "bullet notes" and something called "to-do list". Every morning I think about what I have to do today, so although I am busy, I can call the hospital to ask questions, transfer money to the bank and make new shares. These things are also done during my lunch break.
It was not until I read the Handbook for Activists that I realized that there are various ways to play the handbook: minimalist version, European and American version, etc. It turns out that the notebook has so many functions, besides the "daily to-do list" and reading notes I have been doing, there are also functions such as re-recording, watching movies and book lists.
However, as a middle-aged mother, holding an account only simplifies my life, not increases my burden. Professional mommy is already very busy. Naturally, I can't set up an account with my brain and brush like a girl of 18 years old. Of course, the truth may also have no artistic cells. I can't draw a beautiful handwritten account.
Fortunately, the significance of this handbook for activists is not to make it beautiful, but to tell us how different people use it to change their lives. It gives us inspiration, choices, and the possibility of changing our lives by using our personal accounts.
In the Action Manual, different people choose different "playing methods".
For example, the game to win my heart is minimalism. Black and white is very nice, and the eyes are a little straight. If I can do this, can I make a living by selling my hukou and achieve financial freedom?
It makes me feel that the calendar plate is tall. That disk, every scale is extremely accurate and powerful. I can only take an envious look, but I give up decisively. Men and women really can't do it. Why do middle-aged old mothers have the time not to read more pages or spend more minutes watching TV dramas?
What impressed me the most was the notebook that recorded the "TED talk". I have always heard that this speech is very tall, but I have never had time to watch it. I didn't expect someone to watch the speech seriously and take such detailed notes.
After watching other people's games, I can't help asking myself: What's the significance of the hand account to me? Only three:
The first is to draw the key points for life.
Chris Saca, a famous investor in Silicon Valley, said in the book "Tools of Giants":
At the age of thirty and forty, I finally learned to accept that I am just a mediocre person. There are too many "things to do" in life, but we can only do "things we want to do". Although I can't completely stop doing what I don't want to do but have to do like a great god, I can at least plan my priorities and do what I should do and what I want to do.
The second is to record parenting.
Since the birth of the child, I have bought a thick notebook, and I intend to stuff all the bits and pieces with the child. But for various reasons, the book has not been activated yet, and it is still falling under the bed. However, with the growth of the baby's age, the children's words will always make us laugh, and I am glad that he has grown up. I intend to record him.
The third is to take reading notes.
I have always had the habit of reading. However, over the years, I have found that my memory is getting worse and worse. I can't remember the contents of the book I read clearly. A good memory is not as good as a bad writing. It is better to write down your feelings in a book.
Therefore, for me, the notebook is not a decoration, an ornament or a complication, but a time tool, a life record and a reading note. Knowing the main uses of these three points, I will make a manual account around these three points. The manual is my own "system".
Putting Xiaotian in the Manual seems to be the name of another book about manuals, but I think it is quite accurate.
Knowing the three uses of your hand account, in fact, many problems about your hand account can be solved.
First, one or more?
The 1 problem to be solved for manual account is whether to use 1 or multiple manual account records. Most manual players are finely divided, keeping different contents and different volumes, which ensures the unity of single-volume manual style. For me, this is not a problem at all-my bag can only hold one notebook, and there is no time or space to switch between multiple notebooks.
In this case, my question becomes: how to find the different contents in my personal account?
I once asked Bei Ni this question. Bei Ni's answer coincides with the answer given in this activist's handbook-recognition.
Second, how to distinguish different plates?
The answer is naturally simple, but it is difficult to practice. For a mother who has no artistic skills and has her own "brave" constitution, she is absolutely unwilling to buy all kinds of "stationery" to decorate her hand account. This seems really difficult!
The recognition degree of "to-do" of "focusing on life" is not complicated. It is nothing more than drawing seven boxes on a big page with colored crayons, which can be seen at a glance. Painting cannot be combined with words, and the problem is really not difficult to solve!
"Reading and taking notes" is not difficult. Leave blank on the left to indicate the title and author, and intuitively find the names and key points of related books.
"Keep parenting records" is the "small print" at the bottom of the to-do list and the occasional small part. Similar to the picture above, I won't reveal the baby's story.
Third, how to make a beautiful account?
As a middle-aged mother, the answer to this question is that I can only do my best. Of course, we should obey time, mood and parenting. The final answer is: I can only guarantee to write the words well!
I thought it was enough to record my account number, so I turned it over when I needed to read it. I didn't know until I read the handbook guide for activists. Sure enough, these "manuals" played a higher role. No wonder someone can change the monthly income from 5,000 to 65,438+10,000 (I immediately took a deep breath when I was normal).
The first is to be proficient in using Evernote app.
The contents of the hand account are relatively trivial, especially if you use the hand account to record all the contents, it is very complicated to find.
I have read a book by Japanese scholar Xiao Ye Xuanzhi before, and he proposed to organize his notes regularly. In this "Guide to Activists' Manuals", it is proposed to combine the Evernote app with the manual, that is, upload the manual directory to Evernote and divide it into folders. I think this method is more practical.
I was ashamed to see a friend of Douban drying his evernote catalog the other day. Sure enough, the success of others is not accidental.
The second is to use mind maps skillfully.
Many studies show that if you want to remember the contents of the book deeply, you might as well sort out the context of the book, and mind mapping is a very good way. Because words and images belong to different memory plates in the mind, and this way is actually further copied, and the memory is more profound.
The mind map made by Daren is really beautiful. However, there is nothing for me to carry out. I'm going to record a mind map made by a curtain app in my notebook.
The third is summary and recovery.
In his diary, Zeng Guofan always deeply reflected on his own shortcomings. When he was young, he liked to watch the scene of bustle, and his diary reflected the similar content deeply:
The great gods have done a good job in this regard. Although I never wanted to be a great person, my father taught me from an early age: "Do one thing, become an article, and take a big step." Attention should be paid to summary and recovery in the future.
At the end of the article, I want to remind myself that the notebook is just a tool. I don't want to regard "hand account" as "industry", I want to regard it as "subtraction of life" to maximize my growth!
