What should we do?
This article will introduce Zhao Zhou's post-it notes reading method to you, so that you can get rid of the spell that you can't understand and remember, and easily improve the reading efficiency 10 times.
I first learned that Mr. Zhao Zhou (hereinafter referred to as Wang) read Wang's book "Reading in this way is enough-opening books helps to improve the ability of the workplace" on 20 13, and I like the reading method of "R.I.A" very much, especially envious (plus a little jealous) of the disciples of the opening book gang, especially those who participated in Wang's on-site opening books. Later, the teacher came to the company to do the training of "management communication" course. I was going to sign up, but I couldn't attend because of work. I'm sorry. Today, through the micro-class platform, I finally "heard" Wang's style.
1. Mistakes in adult learning;
2. Reading method of applying what you have learned
3. How to use post-it notes to build your own knowledge system
Wang told a story from the beginning. When his book "Reading in this Way is Enough" was first published, it met with resistance on Douban, and it was considered as a guide to "utilitarian reading". Through this story, Wang emphasized that the calligraphy he advocated was only for practical books. Therefore, the reading mentioned in this article also refers to reading practical books.
Classifying before reading and learning is a very important way of thinking.
Since this sharing is about "reading efficiency", we need to define what is "efficiency" first. Wang gave the calculation formula of "efficiency", in which output refers to the utility and value of learning, and input refers to the time and energy spent on learning. Therefore, efficiency should be determined by the ratio of output to input. The misunderstanding of adult learning is:
Only pay attention to the denominator, and think that reading more for a certain period of time or reading more for a certain period of time is efficient.
In the era of mobile Internet, all kinds of information are always pounding your nerves. Often on the official WeChat account or other websites, do you often see such article titles:
And so on, in addition, books and courses about speed reading are becoming more and more popular. As a result, you panicked, worried, forgot the purpose of reading and began to pay attention to quantity. See a certain amount, at a loss. After reading so many books, why didn't you improve yourself?
Therefore, reading should pay attention to the input-output ratio, that is, how much knowledge you have in books has been transformed into your own ability.
According to a survey conducted by UNESCO in June 5438+February 2004, Iceland, with a population of only 240,000, sold 400,000 books, with an average of nearly two books per person per month. The average person in France reads 1 1 book, Singapore 8.3 books, Japan 18 books and the United States 25 books. Jews (Israel) read the most books: an average of 64 books a year. In contrast, after deducting textbooks, the average reading of China people is less than 1 book per person per year.
But the question begins with: Why is reading so difficult? Wang summarized the following three aspects:
In fact, these three problems are actually three misunderstandings in reading practical books.
"No time and energy" is usually because you are asked to finish reading this book or think that making a reading plan and completing it is a manifestation of pursuing life. According to the theory of viability, a person always seeks a balance between the energy he needs and the energy he can provide. Modern people have great work pressure and high expectations for the future, so they need to study, and learning needs survival strength, but pressure also means the lack of survival strength, thus causing the contradiction between pressure and learning.
"I can't read or remember" is usually because readers want to read the book thoroughly, as if someone wants to test you, and you are still caught in a misunderstanding centered on knowledge (examination). This is the wrong topic, even if you read the contents of the book and remember them, so what? No one gives you a paper now, even an exam is a test of your application. There are many things to learn in any field and any book, but quite a few things don't need to be learned. Find out whether the book is responsible for you or you are responsible for the book.
"I can't read any more" usually because readers don't know what problems to solve, that is, people don't understand the purpose of learning. The purpose of reading is not to finish reading a book, nor to understand and remember it, but to care whether you can improve your ability, bring about behavioral changes and solve problems through reading.
Wang Jin's sentence:
1, find out whether the book is responsible for you or you are responsible for the book.
2. Knowledge-centered reading usually regards books as teachers, while practical reading should regard books as doctors. Not to worship him as a teacher and learn his medical skills, but to ask for advice.
After Mr. Wang's explanation, many listeners realized that there were many deviations and mistakes in their usual reading concepts and methods, so how should they read?
This method has some limitations. Although there are 42 book-opening gangs and more than 700 book-opening families in more than 40 cities across the country, there are still a few people who have the opportunity to participate in book-opening activities on the spot. What if your city or region doesn't have a book division to help you divide the rudder? Wang gave the second method, even if he signed the reading law. In addition, personally, I think you can take part in the online book opening activities organized by the book opening gang or find a group of like-minded people to build your own rudder, and maybe sit with the helmsman. This not only exercises the ability of organization and planning, but also provides a learning platform for reading lovers.
This method should be familiar to friends who have read the book "That's enough reading" or have known about the book dismantling gang. This is a visual recording method, that is, disassembling reading by using the whole brain thinking mode, which is I and A in RIA (reading, guiding, disassembling for personal use). You can do this yourself. In fact, this is an effective way to take reading notes.
When using post-it notes reading method, the following misunderstandings should be avoided.
Wang Jin's words: determination and emotion are the most worthless things.
In the information we come into contact with every day, it is fragmentary and shallow. In the process of learning, we should find our own points according to our own purposes. Because this "point" is very shallow knowledge, you need to find the cause and effect and applicable boundary of this knowledge point by asking questions. Wang stressed that in the process of asking questions, we should ask less "why" and more "how".
After the above three points are completed, you will establish a three-dimensional network of knowledge points. But this is still a scattered point and has not formed a system. What you need to do is to make a three-dimensional network, that is, a three-dimensional structure, in which multiple knowledge points are connected, staggered and supported each other. This three-dimensional structure is empty, that is, to build a house, you just build the house structure with columns and beams, and the wall and decoration are needed below, which requires building materials such as bricks. As far as architecture is concerned, the best filling is the case, and the post-it notes written by post-it notes reading method are one of the best cases.
This method is a process from individual to whole, that is, many related individuals fuse together through a certain relationship to form a whole. Wang introduced the process of reading with post-it notes. Firstly, the knowledge grid is established by using post-it notes reading method, and the relationships among the knowledge grids are analyzed, which are connected together according to certain logic and gradually form a system. This process description class is simplified as: taking notes-splicing notes-forming a system.
This method is a top-down process. The specific process is as follows:
The method introduced here is also introduced in the book King's Speed Reading Method, which introduces the "one-week accelerated expert speed reading method", but combined with the post-it note reading method of the book club, this method can be easier to realize and more conducive to reading. Combined with the introduction of "one-week expert speed reading method", I personally think that the method of "from system to network" should pay attention to:
A, when choosing books, including representative books, summary books, entry-level books.
B, when reading other books, pay attention to your purpose, and use the 28 rule to read the necessary and important chapters around the system you want to build, which can save a lot of time.
The best way to ask the nature and reason of a question is not to ask yourself, but to learn by doing. Wang introduced the operation mode of the dream empowerment class "Private Understanding Club".
Private board meeting was born in 1957, and evolved from the regular round-table discussion between RobertNourse, an entrepreneur from Wisconsin, and four other CEOs. Its object-oriented is mainly entrepreneurs, and it is a model for entrepreneurs to learn, communicate and socialize. It perfectly combines executive coaching, action learning and deep social interaction, and its core lies in gathering the wisdom of entrepreneurs from different industries and solving complex and realistic problems in enterprise management.
Through Wang's introduction, the "dream empowerment class" of the book demolition gang should learn from this way and turn the learning of entrepreneurs into a learning meeting for ordinary readers. In this organization, you are like a patient consulting with a group of medical experts, so you have to tell your pain. These experts will ask you questions according to your description, and then they will describe it in their own language and confirm it to you. Finally, after discussion, they will determine the cause and give a treatment plan. Think about this process when you go to see a doctor. )
The above three ways to generate the framework have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the best way is to combine them. For example, in the process of "from system to grid", when you use post-it notes to complete the output, you can use the jigsaw puzzle method in "from grid to system" to improve the system. After the "private board meeting" obtains the solution to the problem, it can improve the system by "from system to grid" or "from system to grid".
These three points are easy to understand. It is a good practice to reflect on the application of post-it notes. I've probably heard about writing and teaching others many times, so I won't explain it here.
Wang talked for two hours, full of dry goods, and listened with relish. The summary is as follows:
1, reading, you must be clear about the purpose, the purpose determines how you want to read and how much time you spend. Different articles and books have different assignments, and some need to be read through;
2. When reading practical books, you should pay attention to the input-output ratio, that is, how much knowledge you have turned into your own ability, not how many books you have read.
3.A2 When using post-it notes, you must write clear, measurable and observable action steps and practice them.
4. Use post-it notes to build your own knowledge system, as shown in the figure.
