Published 9 books a year, wrote 5 new books, and completed 150 online and offline sharing sessions. Besides going to work normally, his achievements are amazing. Where does his time come from?
The following are mainly ways for uncle to make rational use of time, which are summarized as follows:
1 quadrant. Divide time into four dimensions, emergency is not important, emergency is important, non-emergency is not important, and non-emergency is not important. This needs to be sorted by analyzing the importance of things to themselves.
2 Frog principle. List three frogs every day, and eat the biggest and ugliest frog first.
3 tomato clock. Divide the working hours into 30-minute intervals, 25-minute working hours and 5-minute breaks. This combination of work and rest improves efficiency.
There are two reasons to prevent procrastination. One is perfectionism. If you don't start, you will never fail. Second, I have no interest in the matter at hand and can't get involved. The countermeasure is to change cognition first, realize that perfectionism is morbid psychology and allow yourself to make mistakes. Second, cultivate interest, often interest can only be cultivated through long-term persistence. If you don't act, where do you know? Are you interested? Dear, I have never seen the world, how can I have a world view?
The basic method of GTD: The specific method of GTD can be divided into five steps: collection, sorting, organization, review and action.
6 Finish 6 things every day and become an efficient person. This method requires that the things to be done every day should be sorted in order of importance, and the six most important things should be marked from "1" to "6" respectively. Finish it in order every day.
7. The 28 th Law puts important time and energy on 20% of the important things, and can't invest indiscriminately.
8 Moffat rest method, let yourself switch between different things, pay attention to a task for a long time, energy and attention will drop sharply, and it is easy to get tired. For example, after reading a book, you can draw pictures. When completing a complex task, do some chores to adjust the state.
Uncle Akiba is efficient because he knows all the time management principles and is handy to operate. He regards time management as target management, which is divided into weekly target, daily target and hourly target, both macroscopic and concrete.
At the same time, pay attention to leave time blank and buffer time. Also pay special attention to the fragmentation time in the hourly target, such as one minute. It will take three minutes.
He said he would delay, but he would adjust himself. He finds three purposes for one thing, so that he can resist procrastination and persevere. He is also very good at switching between different jobs, such as answering questions on the way to a lecture. I often write books on the train on business.
Little friends, do you understand?
Uncle Akiba is an associate professor and teacher of Wuhan University of Technology, majoring in mechanical engineering. He not only does PPT well, but also makes money and sucks powder by PPT tutorial. Most of the dry goods written in the article are clear and concise, and the online reading volume is quite high; There are various interests, and they can all be used for their own use; I claim that I can read nearly 200 books a year without delaying my work and other hobbies. Although it is exaggerated, people really benefit from reading and time management after reading his book. Uncle Akiba said that having no time to study is an excuse. How long has it been since we read a book? How many people always feel that life is too busy and there are too many trivial things to finish reading?
The answers to these two questions may seem a bit embarrassing to people in the Internet age, especially young people, because many people may find it difficult to read several books a year as soon as they leave school. Fragmented reading and explosive information brought by the network are also occupying more and more of our life after work. Reading on the subway, bus, sofa, bed and mobile phone at home has also become a normal life. We seem to be very busy, walking with mobile phones; However, we often feel empty and insecure about the future.
But even so, Uncle Akiba claims that no matter how busy he is, he can read hundreds of books a year.
He also cited two examples to illustrate: a former Soviet uncle, Lyubyshev; One is himself.
Liu Bishev is a biologist, who has published more than 70 academic works in his life, and has made great achievements in the history of science, agronomy, genetics, plant protection, philosophy, entomology, zoology, evolution and atheism. I also studied the classification of "fleas" in my spare time. Only up to 1955, I collected 35 boxes of flea specimens, *** 13000, and sliced 5000 male fleas. 1969, he received 4 19 letters, replied to 283 letters and sent out 69 printed materials. Such a high-intensity workload is really puzzling.
Uncle Akiba's example tells how busy he is and how many things he has done like Lyubyshev. No matter how much he really did, he just praised himself and praised himself so calmly, which had to be admired.
Through these two examples, Uncle Akiba aims to warn everyone not to make excuses for their busyness and not to lose confidence in themselves, which is the premise of reading hundreds of books a year.
Be careful 10 reading misunderstanding.
How to read correctly? Uncle Akiba first analyzes 10' s main misunderstanding about reading.
Myth 1: How to finish reading a book?
It doesn't mean that a book is finished by reading it word for word. Different people, different books, there will be different ways to "finish reading". Uncle believes that as long as he feels that he has finished reading, he is finished, and there is no need to compare with others. He will read very well and feel that some knowledge in the book is useful to him, even if he has read it.
Myth 2: Where do you have so much time to read so many books?
Uncle thinks this is a matter of time management. Reasonable time management can spend all the fragmented time on learning. On the other hand, it is also a question of personal reading attitude. For example, a person who doesn't like reading but is obsessed with playing games, you can ask him, "Where do you get so much time to play games?" The reason is the same. Three aspects are also the cultivation of habits. When reading becomes a habit and a part of your life, reading is just like eating and sleeping. The last aspect is also related to the reading environment. If you live in an environment where there are often books and people who like reading, you will naturally love reading.
Myth 3: How to choose books?
First of all, my uncle recommended "More Readers" by Taiwan Provincial Hao for readers to learn.
In addition, uncle also shared two points according to his own experience:
1) The types of reading should be rich, not just the pursuit of reading more. Reference books, professional books, vision books and trend books should be read reasonably. Only in this way can we broaden our horizons.
2) Choose focused books at different growth stages. For example, primary schools mainly use reference books; Universities mainly read professional books; I didn't understand business when I first went to work, mainly reading professional books; When you have some work experience, you need to read more books, broaden your horizons and expand your thinking; Trend books can be read at any time, which is conducive to keeping pace with the times.
In short, it is better to know a subject first than to know everything.
Myth 4: Is reading speed better or intensive reading better?
It depends on what book you are reading. It is a classic and must be read intensively. As for books with low nutritional value or very familiar with the field, just grasp the key points, and there is no need to read them intensively. On this issue, uncle recommended how to read books.
Myth 5: Is it beneficial to read an open book?
Uncle thinks it is useless to read and open books, because now is an era of information flooding, and opening books often traps himself in the ocean of information. We should not only learn the "advantages" of good books, but also learn the "disadvantages" of bad books, so that we can know not to make similar mistakes again. A book is valuable as long as it can benefit itself.
Myth 6: Can you recommend a classic reading list?
Because different people have different reading interests, the "book list" is just a reference and not suitable for everyone. The key is to choose and judge for yourself. Now that the network is developed, you can also search and summarize the book list yourself.
Myth 7: What should I do if I can't read the classic books recommended by others?
This is normal. On the one hand, what others recommend may not be suitable for you. On the other hand, reading depends on one's own experience and destiny. Without enough experience and fate, some books are difficult to read. Reading of the analects of confucius in high school, for example, may not feel anything. In your thirties and forties, you may read a lot of truth. It should be noted that fate cannot be forced, and human culture is profound, from which everyone can learn a small part.
Myth 8: What should I do if I don't feel after reading some books?
Since childhood, we have been taught that education theory should be combined with practice, and reading is the same. Only by repeatedly applying the theory in the book to practice through your own understanding can you finally turn it into your own methodology and become "sensible".
On the realm of reading: "The first realm is to understand others' truth, the second realm is to say it by yourself, the third realm is to use it consciously, and the fourth realm is to say it in your own words." "Only when you talk about the subconscious mind, become a methodology and become your own work habit, is your own knowledge."
But that doesn't mean you won't read without feeling. Rote memorization is also a way of reading. Fate is coming, and the feeling may come.
Myth 9: Is online reading enough?
The biggest drawback of online reading such as WeChat and blog is that it is too fragmented, unsystematic and imprecise to form the ability of frame thinking. This kind of thinking system can only be cultivated slowly by reading good quality books. Only by cultivating your own frame thinking ability can you integrate these knowledge fragments into your own frame system and make the frame richer and fuller.
Myth 10: How to cultivate the fun of reading?
Fun should be based on material and rich spirit, so that it can last for a long time, and so is reading. Without turning reading into material wealth and spiritual pleasure, it is difficult to insist on simply liking reading.
What if I read it and forget it?
Many times, after reading a book, I feel forgotten soon? Some books even took notes while reading, but after reading, they found nothing. What happened?
On this issue, Uncle gave the method of 10:
Method 1: Read through-cultivate thinking framework
"At first, a person didn't read a few books in a down-to-earth way to form a thinking framework. The more books he reads, the more confused his mind becomes. It makes sense to listen to this person today and it makes sense to listen to that person tomorrow. In the end, he just doesn't have his own reason. " Therefore, it is very important to cultivate the thinking frame.
Read through, that is, read systematically, and read systematically according to your major or interest. Explain the cause and effect of the problem clearly, and gradually form your own thinking framework through your own analysis and summary. At the beginning, you can "repeatedly read several relatively structured and systematic introductory classic books about the framework and business of a certain field, and after repeated and thorough reading, lay the methodological foundation for doing things today."
As for how to judge the classics, on the one hand, you can search online by yourself. For example, if you go to Baidu to search for "economics", Baidu Encyclopedia will introduce classic authoritative theories or figures in this field, and then it is easy to retrieve their representative works according to relevant theories or figures. On the one hand, it may be more effective to consult professionals, such as teachers' senior friends, and listen to their suggestions.
Uncle recommended two books here: How to Read and Learning to Ask Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking.
In a word, the purpose of reading through is to cultivate the ability of frame thinking. When encountering a problem, we can analyze the core and key of the problem and the solution through frame thinking.
Method 2: tree reading-theme reading
"Subject reading" means defining a field of interest first, and then collecting books, papers and online articles that can be found in this field for reading. "Like a tree, there are branches before leaves. This is the same as the book catalogue. First, list the contents, then collect relevant theoretical materials that can be explained, read them one by one, and finally refine them yourself, so as to have an overall understanding of this field.
Method 3: Reading pictures-eating hard books
This method is mainly aimed at some books with good reputation, many contents and high gold content, but they are difficult to read. The specific operation is to "summarize or refine the central idea of each paragraph, section and chapter of the author first, and then spell out the author's outline paragraph by paragraph", and finally visualize the outline in the form of mind map so as to be more intuitive.
Method 4: Frame reading-reading classic works.
Frame template for reading
1, background (background of the times, author, etc. )
2, the main problem (one or more)
3. What is the reason?
4. Solution (specific operation)
Step 5 summarize your thoughts
This is a reading framework that uncles often use. Reading according to this framework is helpful to the overall understanding and understanding of the book.
Method 5: intensive reading-reading bestsellers
This method is a fragmented reading mode, which needs the above-mentioned structured thinking as the basis. It is mainly to extract the author's logic from a book and turn it into the core point that he can make clear, and then show it by writing book reviews, sharing and watching PPT. That is, the process of reading thin.
Method 6: Reverse reading-reading Ecclesiastes.
Ecclesiastes refers to the kind of book whose author looks awesome, or whose views are famous but actually biased. Many ideas in the book may not be consistent with themselves, so I read them backwards on purpose. Some boring books can also be read like this. The specific operation is: "list the opinions that you think are wrong in the book or untenable in reality, give reasons and refute them one by one." This method requires some critical thinking. "In this way, you can easily see which problems have hidden conflicts of values, which problems have different assumptions, which problems are logically wrong and which problems are unreliable." Otherwise, it will easily become a slap in the face.
Method 7: copy reading method-reading the book of Daniel
Some books are written by high-level authors, so don't pretend to be an expert in book reviews, and honestly copy down other people's opinions, giving people an impression that you can use them again in the future. Of course, in the excerpt, thank you for your feelings or opinions, which will be more interactive and deepen your impression.
Method 8: Imitate reading method-read reference books.
This method is to imitate the method introduced in the book first. Reading this kind of book a hundred times is often better than learning by hand and paying attention to practical operation.
Method 9: Reading aloud-reading literary books.
Is to recite and read aloud, write it out if you feel it, and make a sound with the author. This kind of books is mainly to cultivate self-cultivation and literary sentiment.
Method 10: Read books in your spare time-read fast food books.
The so-called fast food books are mainly characterized by no nutrition, but they are more popular. In your spare time, when you don't pursue the purpose of reading, use it to relax and read. Of course, if you want to talk about harvest, you can also learn what books modern people read and learn how to write.
After reading uncle's method, I don't know how you feel. Maybe these methods are not suitable for everyone, but at least when I understand these methods, some puzzles in my previous reading will be solved. In fact, in the final analysis, it is the truth of the second half of the sentence: "Traveling in Wan Li is not as good as being guided by a famous teacher."
Most of the above contents are online, and I collected them together, mainly for everyone to learn, learn from Uncle Akiba's reading methods, and give some suggestions on his time management. More importantly, I know that some people have made unimaginable efforts to succeed, listening to some uncle's paid voices and speech videos. You really can't believe how they won many fans with uncle's poor Mandarin. You will think that when a person does something over and over again, he will eventually achieve himself and be accepted by others. You are confused. For your ideal, please keep on, and eventually you will realize your dream!
