What can I learn from tidying up the bookshelf once?

Imagine if you stand in front of a bookshelf, and the books on it are in disorder.

What should I do if I want to organize these books according to my own ideas?

The first step in sorting out is to understand what "one's own thoughts" are.

For example, you can arrange according to your reading interest, putting what you want to see most in front and what you have seen or don't want to see behind. This is the first idea.

For another example, you can also organize books according to themes, such as management, psychology and communication, and put them together in different categories. This is the second idea.

Only by understanding what "one's own thoughts" are, can it be possible to arrange the bookshelf into what one wants.

The second step of sorting out is to plan the steps of action.

For example, you can take down all the books at once, and then put them back on the shelf one by one according to the type of books.

You can also take down only one type of books at a time, pile them on the floor, and finally put them back on the shelf.

Only when the steps of the action are planned can there be no mistakes in sorting them out.

The third step is planning and implementation.

In the process of actually sorting out bookshelves, you may find various problems.

For example, you may find that some books are not in any of your predefined categories. What would you do?

For another example, you may find that there are so many books to sort out that it is difficult to sort them out at once. What would you do?

In the process of implementation, you will find some shortcomings in your plan and make improvements accordingly.

The fourth step of finishing is to review the finishing process.

The essence of organizing bookshelves is: "organize the messy things according to your own ideas."

Think about it, in your work, is there a situation of "turning an unorganized task into an organized work plan"?

Think again. In your study, is there a situation of "making disorganized knowledge points into organized notes"?

Then, let's look back, what can be applied to the future work and study from this experience of sorting out bookshelves?

So, how to better integrate knowledge?

Every time I finish something, I not only sum up my experience in doing it.

More importantly, think about it. What is the essence behind this matter? What other things are similar to this matter?
