In December last year, when Assistant Ling announced in the 38th writing group that Teacher Xiaoxiao’s new book--"Efficient Writing" was on the shelves, everyone started to get excited. Fans follow the star-chasing model and buy with great effort. This book once reached the number one bestseller ranking. I also bought a copy from Dangdang for the first time. When I saw that the express delivery showed that it would take two days to receive it, I couldn't wait to buy the e-book on Palm to take a look.
Finally, two days after receiving the book, I finished reading this "Martial Arts Secret Book" that is a must-read for self-media writers.
During this period, due to the raging epidemic, I had nothing to do at home, so I went to the company to get this book. I have to say that this is a classic book that I have read many times and read often, and gain new insights every time.
After closing the book, I couldn't help but think, why do I always fail to finish, whether in writing or other things? And why can Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao realize her dream?
From this book, I saw Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao’s four rules of success. I believe that as long as you follow these points, you can also be successful yourself. The key difference between successful people and ordinary people lies in the degree of dedication to their careers and dreams, that is, "sustainability".
1. Make sure you are heading in the right direction and do less meaningless things that waste time
Before the age of thirty, Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao was doing the same job as each of us. For technical jobs, you have to work overtime every day, and you don’t even have time to rest on weekends. You are often so busy that you don’t know the meaning of life.
Until the age of thirty, in order to free up her time and change the status quo, she resolutely resigned and became a full-time writer, regardless of everyone's opposition.
Many people around us are doing meaningless repetitive work every day, working overtime crazily, wasting their lives, and trying to move themselves, which is actually a waste of time. Therefore, the first prerequisite for success is to go in the right direction and do things that are beneficial to your long-term goals and development.
Efficient writing
2. Increase by 0.1% every day, creating a compound interest effect.
The compound interest effect tells us that if you continue to strengthen one thing, even if you are in the right direction, there may be no obvious effect for a long time;
If you If you persist for a long time, after a certain point in time, you can just lie back and enjoy the "benefits" brought by passive growth;
Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao wrote in "Efficient Writing" that a man named "Feng "Dan Yunqing" students had a very poor foundation when they first started learning writing, and there were many problems in every article. However, she is very diligent, writing more than a dozen articles every month, and enrolling in many classes to improve herself, just to devote herself to writing. After persisting like this for half a year, I finally published my first article.
Before becoming a self-media writing tycoon, Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao had been working in print media for 10 years.
At a time when traditional print media was in decline, she managed to publish a large number of articles in a year. Later, I encountered new media and published 1,300 articles every year. Only then did I accumulate a lot of readers, and my writing gradually became better and better.
Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao himself
This is enough to prove: As long as you focus on the most valuable things, anyone can increase productivity by 0.1% within 24 hours, and so on. , as long as you maintain it for 5 days a week, productivity will increase by 0.5%.
Continuing to do the right things will not only produce increasing returns, but the more diligently you practice, the more fruitful you will be.
Efficient Writing
3. Try to increase the "sweetness" in the process and increase positive feedback
Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao mentioned a good habit in the new book , make plans and daily lists. Develop a writing plan for yourself, stipulate how many articles you will write every month, and roughly what style of writing you will write. Then break this plan down into each day.
In fact, this is a good way to maintain positive feedback. That is to say, list the things that must be done every day, and then set a deadline. If you complete it within the deadline, you will gain a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence, which will make you more motivated to write and will get a lot of positive feedback. Positive feedback is the key to building his confidence in doing things.
These sweetnesses are called "positive feedback" in psychological terms. This is also the secret to her endless joy in writing.
4. Return to the original intention, and you will always succeed
There is an example in teacher Tang Xiaoxiao’s new book. When a student signed up, he wanted to record his life through writing, and did not want to make money. Don't want to publish. But after studying for a while, she became more and more anxious when she saw others submitting manuscripts, opening public accounts, and receiving royalties. She came to ask the teacher if she should also open a public account or publish articles to earn royalties. If you cannot maintain your original intention, you will become more and more confused, which will consume your mind.
Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao’s original intention is to “take the child close to her and take time to read and play with her every day.
There is no need to work overtime endlessly. When you want to go out, you can just pick up your bag and leave at any time, writing while on the road. ”
To achieve this goal, Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao maintained regular writing and constantly reviewed and reviewed, from paper media to new media writing, to creating a public account and opening a writing training class. Finally, with this original intention, Under the guidance, she can clearly see her own growth, and one year is worth three years.
Therefore, in addition to focusing on the future, we should also occasionally take a step back, review our lives, and think about what is the most important thing in our lives. What important things are worth your time and investment to manage and build? Only by looking back on your life can you dig out a steady source of energy from your heart and allow yourself to continue to return to your original intention and start from the other side. From a perspective, it is to find the right goal and direction.
A good book is something that can be found but not sought. It is like a good mentor who can guide you in the way forward when you are confused.
This book by Teacher Tang Xiaoxiao made me understand more clearly the importance of continuous efforts for success. In fact, "sustainability" in other words means persistence in continuous efforts. When it comes to persistence, Let’s talk about perseverance again. But the training of perseverance is not something that can be done in daily tasks. Therefore, when the habit becomes natural, compared with perseverance, hard work will become a natural thing.
In the future, This is an era of constant change, and only by continuous efforts can we achieve our goals. I hope we can continue to grow in 2020 and strive to realize our dreams.
