Notes
1. The moat of masters: focus
Opportunities are unlimited, but time, energy and talent are limited. The greater the advantage, the more focused it is.
Third-rate masters rely on hard work, second-rate masters rely on skills, and first-rate masters rely on concentration, doing fewer but better things.
2. Expert skills (highest efficiency) will become the biggest obstacle for masters, and iterative skills are the right path (stupid skills of smart people)
The famous chess player Lee Chang-ho only seeks an efficiency of 51 It is enough (certainty), not greedy for victory; novices look at the outcome, experts look at the probability
Zeng Guopan, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, fought hard and fought the battle stupidly: first occupy the invincible position, and then slow down Slowly gains small advantages
Amundsen's 20-mile daily walk in "Choose Excellence": Never go far in good weather, keep moving forward in bad weather and maintain progress (confidence and self-control)
Focus makes you invincible, iteration makes you better; good success is the stupid effort of smart people
3. Identify the source of knowledge
Distinguishing:
First-hand information is the source of knowledge: first-hand research papers, industry academic journals, and latest industry data reports
Second-hand information faithfully conveys first-hand information: textbooks from prestigious schools, first-hand materials recommended by MoOCs , Wikipedia; industry survey reports; books and articles that describe the underlying logic, relatively high quality of thinking, and are slightly difficult to understand ("Poor Charlie's Almanac"); book lists recommended by leaders in various industries and articles from their public accounts
Third-hand information is a statement of simplified and extreme views for the purpose of dissemination: Bestseller
Fourth-hand information is an emotional expression of personal experience for various motives: Chicken Soup Articles (public accounts, headlines)
Distinguish first-, second-, third- and fourth-hand information, read more first-hand information and less third- and fourth-hand information; go to the source of knowledge, stand with them, and one day you will be able to create knowledge
4. Utilitarian reading method: extremely purposeful
Cognitive efficiency: Cognitive benefits are directly proportional to time and energy (why, what to learn, how to learn how) are better than just doing Important)
Three prerequisites for improving cognitive efficiency: goal orientation, immediate feedback, and the zone of proximal development (the difference between the current level and the possible development level)
It can be based on cognitive Know that different purposes are different, set different goals, and allocate different resources:
Cognitive reading: writing skills, which are studies, require a long period of time and systematic reading, and provide a discussion and practice place for experts
Informative reading: survey reports of various industries, professional books, suitable for fragmented learning and social learning
Entertainment reading: used for relaxation and edification, low cognitive resources, changing The feeling of the brain
The best books have all three, read them at different times with different functions
Allocate resources extremely utilitarian, start with your own needs, distinguish three types of reading, and set up Goals, allocate resources
Feelings
1. Mastery (inspiration) cannot be practiced deliberately, iterated, or polished.
Weak advantages can generate powerful power through continuous iteration , focus makes you invincible, iteration makes you better
2. Don’t start reading from the first page: choose a book
Read the book reviews first: Douban, Comments, Select (about 15 minutes)
Look at the table of contents again: you roughly know the content and framework of the book, and the interesting preface is worth reading
Finally, look at the specific chapters: jump directly to important chapters, and start systematic learning from the table of contents
p>
Reading should be done with strong purpose, cognitive resources and questions. In this way, the reading speed can be doubled, the number of books to be read can be reduced by 75, and it is easier to absorb and apply
Reflect on whether I have read so many books and used them in my work and life
3. Deliberate practice is highly related to talent and practice methods, and low-level diligent practice will be ineffective no matter how long it takes.
