It wasn't like this when I was a child. It is said that I have been reading Grimm's fairy tales and Aesop's fables by myself since I was 2 years old. When I was a child, I also watched the classical Chinese version of Journey to the West and Water Margin. But I don't know when, as I get older, I don't like reading more and more.
Now that I think about it, it may be because I read books just for fun and fun when I was a child; After reading the book when I grow up, I feel more pressure such as "I need to memorize this concept" and "I need to use that sentence in the future". Like reading a book, if you can't explain the core idea, outline and golden sentence of the book clearly, it is worthless.
I can't remember the contents of the book, and I won't repeat them. There is no difference between reading and not reading in the traditional sense, and I don't want to always comfort myself that it is beneficial to open books. Using this as an excuse, I don't like reading at all, or even if I bite my teeth and finish reading the beginning, I often don't have the patience to finish reading.
However, I am now engaged in the work related to writing words, and I really can't do it without reading books. How can there be output without input? Every time it's time to put pen to paper, I can't start writing for a long time, or I can only "wash the manuscript" to piece it together. This embarrassment may only be understood by those who have experienced it.
Fortunately, I came across this book "Reading in this way is enough", which provides a reading method that makes me a pragmatist and a three-minute fever patient extremely comfortable-disassembling calligraphy.
To use split calligraphy, it is first necessary to distinguish between college education and adult learning.
The reason why you don't want to study is probably because, like me, you can't understand, remember and have no time. But even if we fully understand the contents of the book, or even memorize them all, so what? Will someone give us full marks or rewards?
The shadow of exam-oriented education still hangs over us many years after graduation, but in fact, as adults, we no longer study for "understanding" and "remembering", but apply what is in the book to the workplace or life, and bring about behavioral changes through reading.
On the basis of "reading like this is enough", I summarize the disassembly of calligraphy into three steps:
1. Define the purpose of reading this book.
2. Read the book roughly and outline it as needed.
3. Read deeply through the "note reading method" and turn it into your own use.
Next, I will briefly explain these three steps, hoping to help you and me.
1. Make clear the purpose of your reading this book.
Before reading, take you as your client and take a good look at your personal situation. What is the problem you want to solve most through this book?
Take chestnuts for example. Generally, before reading The Technology of Thinking, we will simply define the purpose as "improving thinking ability", which is too general, which means that you need to read every chapter in the book carefully, and it is easy to loop back to our old problems-no focus, no theme, no reading and no memory.
If you use the split method, you can first evaluate your ability to buy this book, until you can refine your goal into: how to think more comprehensively and carefully, and be more comprehensive and forward-looking than your colleagues.
Then you can pay special attention to the corresponding content when you read through it in the next step.
2. Read the book roughly and outline it as needed.
The first step is to determine the direct purpose of reading this book. At this step, you need to browse the book.
Have you ever taken an open-book exam? Understand this reading as an open-book exam. You don't need to go into every sentence, but take your "question"-that is, "the purpose of this reading", find out where the corresponding content is distributed in the book and make a mark.
Personally, if you don't read the whole book first, but just look at the table of contents, you are likely to miss important content.
For example, when reading this book "Reading is Enough", my clear purpose is to "learn how to open books", so I may think it is enough to read only the concept of "RIA" and the chapter "Reading methods of post-it notes". But in fact, the later chapter of "Open-book live demonstration" is equivalent to teaching you this knowledge-the practice of "RIA" in a specific situation can help us understand it more effectively.
And these, you can mark them at the first glance. After the second close reading, you just need to finish reading what you have marked. They are the "answer range" of your "open-book exam".
In view of how to find what you need in books faster, reading in this way is enough, and the speed reading skills of different types of books are summarized:
1. Practical book (reference book): looking for suggestions, bold type. Practical books generally give suggestions for specific actions. Your goal is to connect with your work and apply it in the future.
2. Theoretical books: find several main conclusions of the author, focusing on the pages where the core concepts and viewpoints are located. The goal you want to achieve is to understand this idea or concept and apply each idea appropriately.
3. Narrative books: Find the fragments that inspire you the most. When you read a paragraph, you feel something in your heart, so you stop to think, enlighten, think of what concepts you have seen in other books before, or your own experience, or think of something else. Finally, I try to study its essence and extract broader views or suggestions.
PS: The dismantling of film and television materials such as movies, TV dramas and TV talk shows is the same as narrative books.
3. Read deeply through the "post-it note reading method" and turn it into your own use.
Reading in this way is enough to point out that the three core links of adult learning are: reading, guidance and promotion, and dismantling for personal use (RIA).
R (reading): Reading book fragments.
One (interpretation): the guidance and promotion of book publishers.
A (misappropriation): Learners take it apart for their own use.
Here, learners are divided into three stages: primary learners, advanced learners and learning promoters.
1. Elementary learners are generally our current state. What does the book say when reading? We: Yes! And then it was gone.
2. Advanced learners can become their own originators, use RIA-style methods, describe the corresponding content in their own language after reading, and extend it to their real life/work experience, thinking about how to solve their practical problems with these new knowledge.
3. Learning promoters are generally insightful people. Reading a passage, we see the appearance, and they see the essence. At the same time, they can skillfully guide others to understand and use relevant content.
At present, we don't expect to become a learning promoter in one step, but we can work hard for advanced learners and become our own "book opener" through the "post-it reading method".
Post-it notes reading method, as the name implies, has post-it notes and pens, which can do the following:
1. First, read carefully what you marked in the outline listed in the second step. (R)
2. Take an I-note and simply repeat the knowledge points in your own language, or sum up the inspiration, write it down and post it in the corresponding position in the book. ㈠
3. Write down A 1 and review whether you have experienced or seen similar things or situations, write it down and post it on the corresponding page. (1)
4. Take an A2 note, combine I with A 1, imagine how to use it in the future (the more specific the better), write it down and post it on the corresponding page. (1)
5. Put a small note label on the edge of the annotated page to remind yourself.
6. After reading all the parts you think are worth watching, take out all A2 notes and stick them on the wall to remind yourself to apply and change your behavior in the future.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is: concentrate your views as much as possible and don't go into too many details. On the one hand, you can exercise your generalization ability, on the other hand, books don't have that great position.
Personally, I don't think it is necessary to stick to this form. You can also make a RIA record in your notebook, as long as it can be done.
The above is what I summarized in "This is enough to see", and I think it is more useful to myself. I hope it will also be beneficial to your reading.
If you can't read a book, it's probably not that you can't read it, you can't recite it, you don't have time, but you don't have a clear goal, or there are too many vague goals.
Reading in this way is enough. The most important thing for me is to make me understand that the key point of reading a book is not that you have not learned anything from all the knowledge points in the book, but whether you have gained something from your needs, solved practical problems, applied this knowledge to your work and improved your ability before reading the book.
In the book, we are called our own "book distributors". I want to change my name and call myself a problem solver. Redefine reading as: help yourself and solve your biggest headache. How much training fee did you save by counting your fingers? Suddenly I'm so happy and have the strength to read ~
