It's like consulting industry knows your industry better than you have worked for five years in a short time.
They can get a general idea of an industry in a week:
What is the profit model of this industry?
Who is the boss of this industry?
Who are the downstream consumers in the upstream supply chain of this industry?
What is the production capacity of this industry? Its position in the whole economic structure.
What is the legal supervision of this industry?
……
Not only the consulting industry, but also the media industry. A truly excellent copywriter can quickly write a profound copywriter in a field he has never touched before. Take reading as an example. There are many book reviewers in Douban and Weibo who insist on reading a book in one day and then write a book review according to the content of the book. Zhihu has spent "morning 1 hour" reading a book.
Many people will question whether it is reliable to finish reading a book in such a short time. Then, please take this question to see the ten high-speed learning methods I shared.
1 28 law: the essence of learning 20%
The law of 28, also known as the law of least effort. It means that 20% of the content occupies 80% of the core ideas in a certain field. For example, 20% of the chapters in a book describe 80% of the core theme of the book; A movie shows 80% of the important plots of all movies 20% of the time; 20% of the people in society hold 80% of the wealth of society. ...
So when you start to learn a certain field, focus on the 20% essence, and you can quickly master and understand this brand-new field.
2. Time Fragments:
Don't miss a minute to go downstairs and pick up the courier.
A classic sentence: there is no genius, I just spend all my time drinking coffee in other people's works. In fact, many people just go to work, eat and sleep after work ... their time is not properly and fully utilized, wasting a lot of fragmented time.
How is time fragmented? It's very simple, for example, when you take the bus to squeeze the subway to work, brush off the news hotspots; Take the courier, you have to wait for the elevator to quickly read a few pages of e-books, instead of brushing friends for a few minutes; A few minutes before going to bed at night, you can also listen to the study radio ... these fragmentary hours can be divided into many simple things. Over time, don't forget the power of 1 minute.
3. Mind mapping: Think like a brain.
Mind mapping is the ultimate organizational thinking tool. Besides, it's easy to use! This is a natural structure emanating from the center. It is described by lines, symbols, words and images, and follows a set of simple, basic, natural and acceptable rules.
Using mind mapping, we can turn a long list of boring information into a colorful, easy-to-remember and highly organized map, which is consistent with the natural way our brain handles things. To put it bluntly, like a trunk, you can clearly understand the shape of the whole tree at a glance.
4. Overall situation: step by step
For example, if you play Go, you can't play it casually. There are no rules. Before the first player falls down, you should have a general understanding of the board. So learning is the same. You can't read and learn like a swallow. You need to set the layout according to your settings and quickly grasp the key points. It's like you've learned the pronunciation of C. When you go to learn jazz again, you don't start from scratch, but set your path to learn jazz according to your C pronunciation. This is the overall situation, learning can get twice the result with half the effort.
5. One-sided breakthrough: from extreme breakthrough to omnibearing.
Whether it is a mind map or a big picture, we only grasp the overall structure of the surface, but our understanding is still superficial. At this time, our best way is to find a point first, "concentrate superior forces" to "infiltrate" it, make it to the extreme, and then extend around this point. Then all the points are "thoroughly understood" step by step and connected together to form a complete and in-depth knowledge network.
For example, Li Xueling, the founder of YY, only made a special section of World of Warcraft in the field of online games. Later, with the special area of World of Warcraft, it quickly stood out in the game website, and the traffic exceeded one million in just three months. Later, YY software voice was introduced and expanded into a line. Eventually, it developed into entertainment, and video reality shows, song concerts and other forms quickly spread to the public, which made today's YY platform.
6. By analogy: Find the truth from a math problem.
Knowledge is infinite, but our time is limited. How to master infinite knowledge in a limited time? Impossible, but we can master as much knowledge as possible. The point is: draw inferences from one instance, draw inferences from another instance. The simplest example, you can do a math problem, not enough to see! You should learn to understand the most common law in this math problem and finally apply it to this kind of math problem. This is how you win.
7. Pay awareness: There is no free lunch.
This is an era of information sharing, but also an era of information flooding. As long as you search for a keyword, thousands of messages will come in. If you want to learn a skill quickly, you should find the really useful tutorial among so many tutorials.
What kind of tutorial is useful? Paid tutorial. First of all, free tutorials start from the basics, without much in-depth. Secondly, paid courses are generally taught by lecturers with a long history, and their experience and methods are sought after by thousands of people. Finally, the awareness of paying can help you find the resources you want quickly, thus saving time in finding good tutorials.
8. Concentrate: quickly enter the learning state.
Xin Lei's learning method defines four indicators of learning state: effective learning time per day, maximum learning time per time, learning intensity and brain clarity. In fact, in my opinion, it is nothing more than two words: concentration. French biologist georges cuvier said: "Genius, first of all, attention." ?
Concentration means focusing all your attention on a problem and putting it into it completely. After a period of time, you will find that you learn faster and better than before. It's like treating the human brain as a CPU. When you turn off all other applications and just study, your running efficiency will naturally be greatly improved.
9. Summary: Standing on the shoulders of giants
Newton was so great not because he discovered gravity, but because he stood on the shoulders of giants, summed up the experience of predecessors, and finally wrote the mathematical principles of natural philosophy, which opened a great scientific era. If you want to get to the top of a certain field quickly, personal efforts are very important, but it is more important to stand on the shoulders of giants.
For example, Tencent, many Tencent games have seen many other popular games, and there is a dance troupe behind QQ Hyun Dance; QQ flying car has the figure of running kart; There is a bubble hall in the QQ hall ... but you can reach the status of an Internet giant just by imitating Tencent, right? Don't! Tencent is the first successful real social networking platform in the world, which destroyed the traditional chat room business model. It has its own unique innovation, and at the same time it will learn from the strengths of various schools. This is one of the secrets of Tencent's rapid dominance of the Internet.
10, Memory Palace: Build Your Kingdom of Thought
When you learn more and more, normal people will gradually forget according to the law of forgetting curve. There are many solutions. What I share with you here is the Palace of Memory. Simply put, the memory palace is actually a memory classification. First of all, you must remember, and then make a substantive classification of the knowledge you remember in your mind.
For example, your palace is a library, and you put all the books you have read locally in this library; Or your house is starry sky, and one of the planets is called "Mathematical Star". There are many buildings on the surface of this planet, and each building is placed in a different branch of mathematics ... Of course, all this is realized in your mind. Therefore, the memory palace is a difficult memory method, but it is also the most efficient memory method. Because once you succeed, you won't forget that your efficiency will multiply.
When one day we stop clinging to these methods and get familiar with them, we can realize a set of our own methods, which is the shortcut for you to learn quickly.
