Guide: after the growth rate of the number of elites continues to accelerate, many people begin to be anxious, and I am also anxious. I know very well that it is not easy to get out of anxiety. I want to write articles about how to get out of anxiety and rapid growth and share it with more people. Make "technician growth series" articles for more people to share face to face, a total of three articles in this series They are "completing their own cognitive upgrading", "methods of self-growth" and "learning to cultivate themselves or others". This article is the first article of rapid growth: "completing your own Cognitive upgrade", which is too long but worth reading carefully.

How to read this article?

Find a fixed undisturbed time to read carefully in fragmented time, one paragraph at a time.

The most important thing is to read word for word every time, then stop, extract the way of thinking that you think is right from this article with critical thinking, and relate and transfer the way of thinking to yourself, and internalize it into your own cognition through practice. is a very successful reading.

Begin to understand "cognitive upgrading"

The first time: from the article to see cognitive upgrading, that cognitive upgrading is brainwashing, chicken soup, I disdain, the truth is understood, most people are not the same, no difference.

The second time: when I heard about cognitive upgrading in the venue, a living person stood there talking about cognitive upgrading, found it interesting, and began to slowly understand cognitive upgrading, but still did not understand the value of cognitive upgrading.

The third time: awareness of cognitive upgrading from practice, found that "everyone knows chicken soup, but still not good life", there is another version of "use good chicken soup tools: spoon, you can live a good life." the simplest start is to start with time management cognitive upgrading and feel the powerful power of cognitive upgrading. Since changing a way of time management thinking, I have gradually become self-disciplined, thinking, growing compound interest gradually thickening, feeling the value of cognitive upgrading, but still do not have the ability to define cognitive upgrading.

The fourth time: define cognitive upgrade from Li TA, start to do cognitive upgrade PPT to the team, share cognitive upgrading with others, and find that some people's behavior, work, thinking, etc., are slowly changing. These students who have changed will certainly exceed their expectations and become better in the future. At this time, I think I can define cognitive upgrading more clearly.

My definition of cognitive upgrading: cognitive upgrading is connecting, connecting a good way of thinking, connecting the shortest path to solving problems, connecting all excellent methods. For example, when it comes to time management, it immediately connects to "finding undisturbed time to invest in yourself," and when it comes to execution, it immediately connects to "figure it out first." and then step by step ", when it comes to changing habits, immediately connect to" make the right choice questions when the trigger condition occurs into the next behavior. " Through the change of cognition, we will be inspired to think and change our behavior, thus affecting our judgment and improving our ability. to be exact, cognitive upgrading subverts our thinking habits and allows us to think beyond instinct. get rid of the old intuition and experience, establish a new intuition and experience.

The cognitive sharing of the following 10 topics is a part of what I think is the most important cognition from my cognitive upgrade library, which helps and changes me a lot. I believe it is also valuable to others. Adhering to these 10 simple cognition can greatly improve our growth rate, and as we continue to evolve, we will continue to upgrade and enrich our cognitive base. Constantly improve their cognitive upgrading ability.

1. Thinking brain and reflex brain

Listening to a wonderful speech will not only have instant enjoyment and satisfaction in spirit, but more importantly, there will always be a few key words to stimulate our nerves, let us have instant memories and make further thinking. This is why I like to listen to Niuren speeches. I do not want to hear his wonderful stories about starting a business, but because of the wisdom revealed in the content of his speech and the vision of the times. It reveals systematic logic, and listening to his speeches always gives people a sense of clairvoyance, and the wisdom and foresight revealed in all these speeches are not immediately thought of on the stage. it is the point of view abstracted by countless thoughts under the stage. Speaking on the stage is reflection, while preparation under the stage is logic thinking. What is the relationship between reflection and thinking after a minute on the stage and 10 years of work off the stage? Begin the first cognition: thinking brain and reflex brain.

In his book slow thinking, Teo Compnoli, a professor at Insead, divides the brain into reflex brain, intuitive brain and storage brain. To put it simply: think about brain management, reflect brain tube intuition, store brain tube memory, intuition depends on habits, react with intuition quickly, but not necessarily correct; think brain management, reason depends on logic, slow, but more correct.

Through research, some scientists have found that 5% of a person's daily behavior is non-habitual, driven by the logic of the thinking brain, 95% is habitual, driven by the intuition of the reflex brain, and it is always 95% of the reflex brain (habit) that determines our life. not 5% of the thinking brain (logic). Looking back on your day, do most of your judgments and opinions rely on intuition and habit? under what circumstances will you use your thinking brain? Do you think more when you are alone, but you can only rely on intuition and reflection to be fast in a multi-person conversation scene, while giving good and bad impressions to others is often established in the dialogue scene? it is conceivable how important the reflected opinions or behaviors are to us.

To learn to swim, for example, when you are in the water, you enter mindfulness (mindfulness: purposeful, conscious, concerned and aware of everything in the moment), associate the instructions of the brain with the movements of the hands and feet, and the brain issues standardized instructions for the hands and feet. In the process, the brain has been paying attention to and aware of the movements of the hands and feet, and making judgments and adjustments at the same time. This is a process of logical thinking and intensive training, which strengthens the process of logical thinking into a process of reflection. Once learned, there is no need for further thinking. Swimming has become natural.

The same is true in learning and growth. To borrow the concept of mindfulness and pay attention to and be aware of everything in learning purposefully and consciously, especially in the process of logical thinking in the process of input and output, I particularly suggest doing two things well:

Focus on input: read word for word and listen word for word

In the process of reading word for word and listening word for word, we will continue to deeply understand the logic behind the author's words and language, produce our own logical thinking, and produce the collision of logic and viewpoints. What are the differences and similarities between their own logic and the author's logic? this is the only way to train logical thinking repeatedly. The lack of this step leads to the result of cramming education in China. Most of the time I know the result but I don't know the principle.

Focus on output: do PPT regularly to share

Doing PPT to share regularly is a high-quality logic training method that cannot be replaced in the process of reading and learning. it is a kind of logic abstract training with higher requirements. at the same time, through the output to test the quality of learning and growth, the number of training is increased, and the logic in the book becomes an intuitive reflection, enriching the effective structural knowledge in 95% of your area.

So for us, if we want to have no anxiety, want to be down-to-earth in life, turn extensive reading into fine logic training, and train 95% of low-quality habit reflexes into high-quality habit reflexes after logic, the training process will be painful. but once trained into intuition, it becomes very natural.

Highlight: the so-called intuitive reflex is to improve the accuracy of your intuition through a lot of logic training, from a narrow 5% to a broad 95%.

two。 be accustomed to

Training 95% of low-quality habit reflexes into logical high-quality habit reflexes requires a lot of time guarantee. However, for us in the mobile Internet era, electronic devices have brought good convenience to human life and travel. At the same time, human beings have become inseparable from them, even going to the toilet for just a few minutes. Cell phones are also inseparable.

Mobile phone has become a way of life, a habit, it is our habit to keep our eyes on the phone, because mobile phones have undergone great changes and fixed, playing with mobile phones when they are empty, playing with their families, and refraining from sleeping and playing with them. As a result, we live less study, less reading, less communication, less companionship.

Once I was trapped in an electronic device, I couldn't change this habit pattern for a long time, but it was difficult to change because once I entered the habit mode, my brain activity dropped sharply, stopped taking part in decision-making and went into a dormant state. at this point, our behavior is dominated by habits. What I feel most about this modern way of life is that I spend more time browsing information, less time to think and think about it, more time to focus on ineffective things, and less time to focus on self-growth.

When I am aware of the bad habit of using my mobile phone for browsing and entertainment, I naturally want to change my mind, that is, if there is an effective way to change my habit, to help me change my habit of heavy use of mobile phone, it means that I can save a lot of time and attention every day, and the time and attention saved can be put on the iteration of more important growth ability. Fortunately, the accustomed cognition entered my cognitive system and became my second cognitive upgrade.

The key to my understanding of habits is to put it another way: "change the habit of playing with your mobile phone, replace it with another sentence, and turn learning into a habitual way of life." The object to be solved has changed. the first focus is on changing habits, and the latter on turning learning into habituality. when we ask others or ourselves to change habits, there will be pressure. The key lies in the word "change". Give people a mental hint of unconscious resistance; but if learning becomes normal, it seems natural that the burden will be much less.

After cognitive changes, the key to whether learning and reading can be taken for granted is whether you can be aware of unexpected situations and adjust your behavior in these unexpected situations. When unexpected situations such as ineffective social situations occur, if you can ignore them or deal with them later, you can naturally become accustomed to learning and reading. Note that this is the most critical entry point for changing habits, ignoring ineffective behavior on the one hand and starting learning and reading on the other, as long as you make a behavior change.

Everyone knows that replacement can be changed, but why is it so difficult? In fact, the key is whether this point of consciousness can become a trigger response, that is, when a trigger condition occurs, the consciousness of change can pop up to warn yourself.

First of all, we should understand the mechanism of the habit. The habit is not created out of thin air, it has causes and consequences, the antecedent is the end of the previous thing (trigger condition), and the consequence is some extra reward brought by the behavior after the end of the previous thing. For example, after coming home from work and taking a shower in the evening, we are sure to start the next thing we are most used to, such as watching a play on our phone or gossiping. When this most habitual thing is over, the brain will have spiritual enjoyment in time. The content is rich and wonderful. It is enjoyable in the short term and a disaster in the long run, because it is of little help to the future, but it consumes a lot of our time. And the accumulation of information brought about by watching dramas or reading gossip can only be called talking after dinner, or some have no chance to talk about it at all.

After understanding the mechanism of habit generation, it becomes very easy to change the habit. Each time the trigger occurs, a multiple choice question pops up, choose to do something invalid, or learn? I have been strengthening myself to do the right choice questions in this way many times. Over time, correct behavior is trained much more, and it becomes a habit to let nature take its course. So to change the habit is to let yourself do the right choice questions when the trigger occurs, break the old habit loop, and establish a new habit loop. Believe the saying that "elites are driven by uninterrupted positive behavior habits."

Highlight: the so-called habit change is to allow yourself to do the right multiple choice questions when the trigger occurs to enter the next behavior.

3. (CNI) time Management: women's Day Theory

In my second cognition, "getting used to it," I mentioned that the way to form a habit is to make a correct choice when the trigger occurs, break the old habit loop, and establish a new habit loop. In other words, when it comes to multiple choice questions, you get time for learning and thinking, which is part of time management, squeezing time out of existing transactions. But this is not the only part of the time spent on learning. We need a systematic understanding of time management.

There are two kinds of people in the world who do not do time management, one is that there is time management, and the other is that there is no time management, there are both subjective and objective reasons. The objective reason is that I am too busy at work, so it is really difficult to have time for study; the subjective reason is that I have time to do other things, but I don't have time to study and think. No matter what kind of people, their deep-seated need for time management has always been there, but they have not found a good method of time management, and finally give up.

Where there is demand, there is supply. There are many time management books, time management methods and time management software on the market. But have you ever had this kind of experience, I have used many methods, such as time management four quadrants, tomato clock, time planning, etc., after holding on for a period of time, or return to the original state, what is the reason? I think the most fundamental reason is that it is too complex to change our consensus and build a sense of time management in one sentence.

For example, most of the time we will use the planned way to do time management, what time to do, but people are not machines after all, there will always be accidents, can not be carried out step by step according to the process, the plan will always be disrupted, once disrupted may be a complete mess. In order to keep the plan running as scheduled, it will bring a very great burden to yourself, the burden comes from the energy consumed in managing the plan, and each project may not be completed as expected, and giving up is the best choice over a long period of time.

Of course, these time management methods or tomato clocks are certainly useful, but complex things are not suitable for me, and they may not be suitable for many people, otherwise so many people would not know that there are many time management methods, but they are still very anxious about time management. because it's hard to implement. I have to find a simple way to adapt myself quickly without becoming a burden. My cognition of time management is my third cognitive upgrade, that is, the theory of time management.

The theory of time management: each person has a fair 24 hours a day, the first eight hours for sleeping, the second eight hours for work, and the third eight hours for disposal. but the gap between people is mainly determined by the third eight hours, and the third eight hours for consumption, trading or investment has a very big life difference. Take spare time from work as an example to explain consumption, trading, and investment in order to understand the differences in life:

Spare time after work, used for consumption, such as browsing news, Douyin and moments, resulting in timely enjoyment, no growth, money or that kind of money, the position is still the same position.

Spare time after work, used for trading, take extra money, earn some hard money, generate money, do not produce growth, not much money, but the position is still the same position

Spare time after work is used for investment, starting with the end, believing in the cognition of "take your time, growing the fastest", continuously investing in multi-dimensional learning, precipitating ability, gaining growth, getting money from growth, and upgrading your reputation.

After reading the explanation of time consumption, trading, and investment, we can see the importance of doing multiple choice questions in "getting used to it". To do the right multiple choice questions is to invest, invest in your own growth, and invest in your own learning. isn't life different because of investing in yourself? But it takes time to invest. How can time come?

Find time not to be disturbed. The compound interest effect can occur only if you find undisturbed time to invest in your own growth. If you want to save some time from work, want to squeeze some time from the weekend to study, this is called the cliff of growth, I believe it can not be sustainable, learning must be a daily compulsory course, must be a daily pawn, perseverance, continuous input, there is also constant output, continuous precipitation, output problem-solving ability at critical moments, so as to gain ability recognition.

Share how I find undisturbed time to invest in my own growth, because the nature of everyone's work is different, the length of time to find undisturbed is different, such as programmers, there is a lot of overtime. For example, I spend an average of 11-12 hours in the company, even in this case, I can still find undisturbed time outside of work, not to mention friends who don't have 12 hours at work! My undisturbed time:

Before going to bed: everyone has it during this period from going home at night to going to bed. You can set aside at least 40 minutes to study here. It is recommended that you must go to bed before 11:30 in order to get up early.

Get up early: I need to point out here that according to my sleep habit of getting up at 8 o'clock before, this time may not be used, so enterprising people can make some changes, that is, to shorten their sleep time, such as getting up at 8 o'clock to 6 o'clock. Believe in yourself, it is enough for young people to sleep 6-7 hours; this will produce 1-1.5 hours of study time, usually how can there be such a long time for study?

Before the morning meeting: this is suitable for people who are close to the company, go to the company early before the morning meeting, and find 30 minutes to study. This kind of short-term study is mainly used to learn fast food knowledge, find a knowledge service platform to buy knowledge, and learn the knowledge summed up by others.

The above schedule will make you tired to a certain extent, but giving up browsing the news and Douyin at noon and getting some sleep at work will not affect your daily energy, and as you grow up, you will feel more and more fulfilled. On the contrary, the mental state brought by the sense of achievement is better than before.

Highlight: the so-called time management is to find undisturbed time to invest in your own growth.

4. NI) the most important asset: attention

For us, there are three kinds of very important wealth, namely, money, time and attention. Of the three, I think money is the least important, on the contrary, attention and time that are not physical objects are more important. Money can be earned back by improving ability, and it can be earned back 100%. Time and attention are one-time consumption, which is gone, although new time and attention are added the next day. But you should know that life is passing, and the time and attention consumed in the past is an one-off consumption.

In the cognitive upgrade of time management, we already have the cognition: "find undisturbed time to invest in ourselves." This section carries on the cognitive upgrade with the attention of our second most valuable wealth, so that our attention can be used to invest in our own growth path in the undisturbed time. Time is a container, attention is a weapon, and we can look forward to growing up.

Ask yourself two questions first:

Do you remember what you saw yesterday, last week and last month? Further distinguish what you have seen: what is growth? What is talking about or not even having a chance to talk about it?

A good question itself is a good answer. Think back to where your attention was spent in the third and eighth hours of your free time, investment or consumption, and if you realize that your attention was spent on consumption, then quickly focus your attention on investing in your own growth. If you don't realize it, you are advised to read the knowledge of "time management" word for word, and then figure out how time is invested. Or consumption, has a great meaning in life.

Looking at the current way of life from the two questions asked to ourselves, there are many seemingly reasonable phenomena in life, but it is actually a huge pit in which other people harvest our attention and turn our attention into traffic, which produces commercial value, but we actually enjoy it. Because we like to join the fun inexplicably, like to follow the crowd, like to do what people are doing, we spend a lot of time on it every day. But the growth of harvest is very little, because we are all spending time and attention, rather than spending time investing in our own growth.

We think that by doing what everyone is doing, we find a sense of belonging and sense of security, but in fact, the real sense of security, a sense of achievement, a sense of belonging comes from self-growth and self-precipitation. For us living in the era of information explosion, it is very difficult to make good use of our attention, there are traps everywhere, temptations everywhere, reduce our thinking everywhere, let us easily get the finished product, the result is that on the surface we know a lot, but in fact, the understanding is very shallow.

For these huge pits, it is not recommended that you give up 100%. For humans of gregarious species, it is still necessary to establish connections with the outside world and have conversations with people around us, but we have to adjust our attention and turn the original 100% attention into 28 distributions. or 37 distribution, according to their own control, let most of their attention to invest in their own growth, reducing the circle of friends. Reduce the investment in news and entertainment.

Let's solve another question: "Why do you pay attention to movies so well that you can't concentrate on doing business?"

First of all, accept this reality, medically called attention deficit disorder, almost everyone has this problem, because doing business is more boring, difficult, uncomfortable, unable to concentrate, it is normal to escape!

Second, to find ways to improve, I usually do this, prepare a notebook or Evernote for myself, read and think, and write down important ideas. It will be very difficult at first, but if you stick to it, you will find that you will think more and more deeply and concentrate for longer and longer. Or practice word-for-word reading, because word-for-word errors will make you more carefully understand the logical relationship of the content, so as to achieve the purpose of improving attention.

Once the cognition of attention and time management is combined, we can excitedly say, "if we invest our attention in our own growth when we are not disturbed, our lives will be different and we will encounter better ourselves in the future."

Highlight: the so-called increase in attention is to focus on the target matter until you produce the expected results.

5. Means of taking results: executive power

Execution and self-discipline appear very frequently in our work and life, because these are the two key words we must have when we grow up or do something, but for a long time, there are great doubts about improving execution. At the same time, in the work scene, the boss may ask many times to improve the execution, abstract and specific, but often only the requirements to improve the implementation of the method and awareness, this is a common point-to-point phenomenon, generally can not improve the execution of the phenomenon.

The reason for this phenomenon is that our cognition is easy to accept the views summarized by our predecessors, because it is so reasonable, so we gladly accept it, and then pass the point of view to other people again, like passing the ball. But the whole communication link lacks a way to form a point of view, that is, when you hear and see, most of the time it is just the result, without the input of the process, what you see is the success of others. But I don't see how others succeed.

I often asked myself to improve my execution, but I gave up after a period of time, and then I figured out one thing: there are at least multiple roles in everyone's body. From a cognitive point of view, there are two roles, one is an investor, investing in one's own growth; the other is consumers, spending their own time and attention and paying little attention to their own growth. We have been playing these two roles all our lives, playing games with each other. The adults win and continue to grow, while the consumers win and stand still. However, consumers often win, because consumers spend time and attention to browse moments, watch the news and entertainment, do what everyone is doing, feel like they have found a sense of belonging, sense of security, and the brain can immediately get timely rewards. While the brain controls our thinking and behavior, once consumers occupy the brain, they also control our daily thinking and behavior.

To improve the executive power, first of all, let yourself become an investor, invest in your own growth, and invest in the right thing. It makes sense to recognize the executive power at this time. My understanding of the executive power is: "figure it out, and then do it step by step." if you don't understand, it's not executive power at all. At the same time, to improve the executive power, we also need self-discipline, through self-discipline to maintain the executive power, to believe that continuous investment in their own growth, can achieve "slow, the fastest growth" compound interest effect. For example:

Many times we know, or have been reminded or asked, that we need to improve execution and self-discipline, but we do not know the behavior guidance method of execution. Now we have the behavior guidance method behind execution: "figure it out, and then do it step by step." at this time, we need to have speculative thinking, through practice to "figure it out, and then do it step by step", internalized into our own cognition and methods. Guide your life.

Draw a key point: execution is to figure it out, and then do it step by step.

6. Honorable person

Ali's cultural environment, technological environment, and growth environment are very helpful to personal growth, so Ali often says to learn to be grateful, to be grateful for being in the best times, the best environment, to be grateful to the people around you, to be grateful to those who help and change yourself.

What I have experienced in the past few years, the people I have met have helped and changed me a lot. Most of the time, it seems that I am destined to have someone by your side to sort out my thoughts and adjust my way of thinking when challenges, confusion and grievances arise. Avoid thinking more and more extreme in your own closed thinking. I am indeed very lucky to have such a distinguished person around me who can help me look at things from the beginning to the end and look at myself. Slowly, I believe that all problems come from myself, and making myself better is the root of solving all problems. So I put the distinguished person as a cognitive upgrade in my own cognitive database, and have the opportunity to let more people or their own families also establish a noble way of thinking.

But many times we will feel that there is a lack of dignitaries around us, or that there are dignitaries but they are too far away from us. This kind of cognition is inseparable from four aspects:

First, they are not confident and do not believe that they can influence others, which leads to the lack of active communication, long-term communication, continuity and habits of communication.

Second, the problem of their own mentality, if their mentality is not positive enough, no dignitaries dare to enter your thinking space, because values do not match, it is difficult to form a cognitive consensus.

Third, the reasons for the workplace, very often your boss may be your dignitaries, but because of the workplace, because of superiors and subordinates, due to face, due to work, do not dare to communicate more, ask for more advice

Fourth, dignitaries come and go, there are dignitaries to help you change, help you make progress, but they do not work hard, holding the mentality and methods of doing things in the past, the progress is not obvious, negating his value and significance as a dignitary.

If there happens to be such a noble person, you should know how to cherish it. The main way to cherish it is to repay him with growth, because your growth can help him in the future. At the same time, you need to establish effective communication in peacetime, first of all, let the dignitaries really understand you. When you are sure that the dignitaries can help you and influence you, you should boldly undertake some challenging things, even if you encounter grievances, pressure and failure. To believe that you are the real you at this time, your ceiling, your bottleneck is this, with the help of dignitaries to help you improve your ability, the next time the same thing comes. They can be handy, the opportunity to exercise this ability is very few, and Ali often said that borrowing to fix people is very matching, things fail does not matter, but people want to succeed, people's ability should be improved.

Tell me about my own experience since childhood. I was very independent and did a lot of farm work. I began to live in primary school. I worked as a child laborer for two months at the age of 16 to build buildings. I went home at the end of high school to insist on farming in the fields. University work-study programs. Because of my strong independence, I seldom take the initiative to ask for help, plus my parents' education since childhood: asking for help is tantamount to bothering others. Don't always bother others when you have nothing to do. It's not my parents' fault, but the Chinese culture of reward. Because getting help and rewarding others leads to a heavy burden on your heart, so as to educate your children not to bother others casually. In the long-term past, character is more affected by this, the less you ask for help, the more introverted, the more introverted, the less communication with others, less input, less collision of ideas, less thinking, and thus the gradual development of introverted character.

But after the experience and changes in the past few years, I suddenly realized that asking for help from ≠ bothers others. If you regard asking for help as an act of subservience, it is no different from a beggar, and regards asking for help as a transaction, a transaction of "great significance". When you ask for help, others are willing to help you because they have already seen your value. this value helps him determine his own value (he has the ability to help you), or you can help him in the future. Everyone should have experienced that the moment you help others, you get the most important reward: you have the ability to help others, and at the same time, in the process of helping others, you may need to work harder in the future. To help others is not that you win or lose, but a process of common progress. In the process of helping others, you can find errors in your understanding while consolidating your knowledge.

Dignitaries should hold tight, and through establishing relationships with dignitaries, their observation, feedback, two-way communication, dialogue, counseling, etc., can help them generate their own thoughts, behaviors and opinions from interactive information, which will affect themselves and improve themselves.

Self-stability: make the self-container strong, able to accommodate each other's criticism and emotions when challenged, responsible, and aggrieved.

Self-flexibility: after tolerating each other's emotions, you can adjust your self-state in time, because you believe that all problems come from yourself, and making yourself better is the root of solving all problems.

Self-boundary: as out of my state adjustment, the perspective of things has changed, the ability has improved, and the self-boundary is gradually expanding.

Self-strength: the sense of achievement formed after the expansion of self-boundaries will make the self-strength more powerful.

Self-organization: a person can reorganize himself when he or she feels like falling apart under high pressure, or when he or she is defeated and disintegrated.

Highlight: an honorable person is a person who can continue to accompany you to output high quality.

7. Meeting

"output forces input" many people have heard of it, but what are the input methods, and the effect is better, most of the time we really have not seriously thought about it. The reason for this phenomenon is that the input commonly used in our subconscious should be reading, thinking, and feedback, so very often we don't pay attention to or even ignore other high-quality input methods. At this point, think quietly about the input effect in the process of discussion? I'm sure you'll have your own answer. I recognize that "the input effect in the discussion process is the best" because the discussion process can stimulate your brain to respond quickly, as if CPU is overclocking, and can also get better input from the other person's question and answer, which is like two people simulating machine learning, constantly optimizing the discussion results through positive feedback and figuring out the optimal solution.

In the actual work, people's view of the meeting is generally not very good. In everyone's eyes, the meeting is like this: there are too many meetings, the meeting is very inefficient, the same content has been held repeatedly several times, but they are very small collaborators, but they have to attend a two-hour meeting.

And I have observed many meetings, and many people, most of them, are busy with their keyboards on, especially us programmers. Although writing code at meetings may improve the progress of project development, it is very difficult to focus on writing code in an environment where there is discussion and sharing. At the same time, I made a statistic in the team and counted everyone's meeting for a month. The average time invested in a biweekly meeting is about 10% to 15%, that is, 1 to 1.5 days of a biweekly meeting. From the point of view of the consumption of the meeting, dealing with business during the meeting does not necessarily have a great improvement in efficiency. It is better to focus on one thing all the time. It may be more efficient.

So when I attend the meeting, I try to keep my brain in a state of thinking without a computer, receive information from the meeting at any time to think, train my ability to produce ideas, and train my ability to sum up. At the same time, I also ask the team students to close the computer as far as possible when there is no emergency, so that they can concentrate on listening to others' discussion and sharing, and then think for themselves and sum up. Refine the point of view, of course, you can also participate in the discussion and become the protagonist.

How much is not necessarily a bad thing, on the contrary, it may become a place for you to train thinking, summarize and express logic. For example, machine learning, feeding a large number of data to the machine for model training, applying and verifying the training results, if the effect is not good, the whole process is a positive feedback continuous strengthening training process. It's the same with going back to participating in the meeting, constantly verifying your views through listening and discussion, listening again, discussing, and verifying your logic and opinions through positive feedback again and again.

And what kind of identity to participate in the meeting, or how to switch roles in the process, is also very important. I usually participate in three roles:

As a participant, listen carefully, quickly refine the logic you want to express, and then participate in the discussion; as a listener, listen carefully, type carefully, organize ideas in your head, organize logic; as an interrupter, find that some meetings really do not need to continue, out of good intentions, prompt the focus of the meeting or end the meeting.

Highlight: to participate in the meeting discussion is to simulate machine learning and optimize your logic and point of view through positive feedback.

8. Jump out of the comfort zone

Why do you feel that after reading so many books, working for so many years, and writing so much code, you have basically stopped making progress after making obvious progress at the beginning? I think it is because I have been in the comfort zone for too long. No matter how many books I read and how much code I write, I may just work and live in a comfortable way, which has not been recognized by many people. When I look back and reflect, I find that I have done a lot of things and read a lot of books, but the expectation of growth is not consistent with the reality.

So we began to think, what went wrong? It is human nature to take refuge easily. Between the difficulty and the easy, we are always used to choosing the easy, but if the choice is difficult, so that we can not accept the challenge under the difficulty, we will still return to the comfort zone. Looking back on the past, I seem to be the same. On a whim, I suddenly feel that I have to learn a lot of things when my energy explodes, and I return to my original position after a period of time.

Put aside yourself and look at the people you know, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the growth is very obvious. Just like the rapid evolution and progress of our human beings, it is because we have mastered wisdom, which comes from the discoveries and experiences of our predecessors. For example, in the comfort zone, psychologists divide the learning content we may face into three areas, namely, the comfort zone, the learning zone and the panic zone. Comfort zone is too easy, stay too long, always want to jump out to have a look. The panic zone is too difficult to bring fear, just like when Liang Ning talks about empathy in product thinking, fear produces bondage and motivation, depending on whether the security boundary has been violated. If the challenge cannot be overcome, fear creates bondage and retreats to the comfort zone.

So to jump out of the comfort zone, not to jump to the panic zone, but to jump to the learning zone between the two, to achieve a balance of difficulty and ability in the learning zone, quote Mihari. Chickson Mihalai mentioned in the book flow: optimal experiential Psychology: to achieve a state of flow at work, the challenge of the job must be balanced with your skills, and if the challenge of the job is much lower than your skills, you'll find your job boring. If the challenges of your job go far beyond your skills, you will feel anxious.

You need to make the difficulty and skills match. You don't know what to do when you accept the challenge, but by mobilizing your highest level of skills and trying to break through a little bit, you can just solve this problem, that is, the experience of flow. It's a wonderful feeling that you are immersed in your work and forget the flow of time, and you may even forget your own existence.

Jumping out of the comfort zone, entering the learning area, and entering the learning area where difficulties and abilities are relatively balanced, we can grow up rapidly, but after entering the learning area, we still need matching learning methods to gradually exercise ourselves. many people have their own learning methods.

Highlight: to jump out of the comfort zone is to enter the learning zone, balancing challenges and skills to achieve the flow experience.

9. Career planning

I have a different understanding of career planning. I think most people don't really need to do career planning. Only those who have dreams and have very good personal qualities need career planning. They will continue to work hard for a goal for many years until the goal is achieved. And most people do not need career planning, because most of the time, the career planning we make is just a dream, although the dream still has to be, but very often it is only realized by others, if it happens to be realized by ourselves because of luck, it may be a misunderstanding, because of the lack of ability, we will have to pay more effort and sweat in new positions and roles than those who are already ready.

In the past, I have been asked by some non-Ali people, how to make career planning? After the exchange, I found that many people are more inclined to put their career planning on a certain position or role when making career planning. For example, they will focus on the manager position, manager ability, or architect role, but they look at a loss as to how they get to the position and get the role, what efforts have been made behind it, what methods have been used, and what abilities have been precipitated. Indeed, career planning is very difficult, but the difficulty is that it is an imagination space for the future, and whether this imagination space can be realized is inseparable from the degree of effort of what we are doing now.

After the chat, I have been reflecting on what I should do if I make my own career planning. After constantly stripping the cocoon, I found my own answer. I think career planning is not a certain position, a certain role, but the improvement of working ability. In view of the abilities required by their positions and the abilities required in the workplace, and then use expert thinking and multi-dimensional perspective to focus on breaking through 3-4 abilities, holding 120% of the efforts to get results, or even exceeding expectations, the ability is recognized, the so-called role, the post is just the result of letting nature take its course. But there are very few people who can do this, and since they are very few, it is your opportunity to become one of the few talents.

Draw key points: the so-called career planning is the improvement of working ability.

10. Time for space

Time for space, there is another cognitive saying: "take your time, persevere, grow the fastest." Either way, it actually tells us that growth is not eager for success or instant success, but to invest constantly in the undisturbed time every day, to confirm the deficiencies in their growth through continuous output, and to make up for the deficiencies in the cycle. By approaching the critical point of growth, and then crossing the critical point, you can immediately experience your own change and growth.

And once we experience growth, we will summarize the growth process of the previous period of time, abstract our growth best practices, practice again, force ourselves to the next critical point of growth, and then cross over again, so as to cycle over and over again, slowly improve our multiple abilities and cross-border abilities. The improvement of all these abilities, when an opportunity comes in the future, because we have enough ability to control him, what we need to do at this time is to make things successful with 120% of our efforts, and when things are successful, we will have the ability, and there will be space naturally, and it will be recognized.

The so-called time for space is to focus on the present and do what we need to do when we can't see what the future will look like.

Draw the key points: the so-called time for space, is to slow down, persevere, the fastest growth.

Summary

Cognitive upgrading is very chicken soup, although delicious but not easy to digest. While improving your cognition through learning, you need to have critical thinking, put your own recognized cognition, and precipitate your own best practices through your own practice. let oneself have the ability of self-evolution, form their own cognitive system, this is the foundation of growth. The above 10 cognitive upgrades are summarized in one sentence to complete self-cognitive upgrading:

The so-called intuitive reflex is to improve the accuracy of your intuition through a lot of logic training, from a narrow 5% to a broad 95%.

The so-called getting used to it is to do the right multiple choice questions before the trigger conditions occur and enter the next behavior.

The so-called time management is to find undisturbed time to invest in yourself

The so-called attention is to focus on the target matter until the desired result is produced.

The so-called executive power is to let yourself figure it out first, and then go on step by step.

The so-called dignitaries are those who can continuously accompany you to output high-quality content.

The so-called meeting is to simulate the idea of machine learning and get positive feedback to verify one's point of view by participating in the discussion.

The so-called jumping out of the comfort zone is the experience of jumping out of the learning zone and then entering the learning zone to balance challenges and ability to achieve flow.

The so-called career planning is to improve the ability needed by the job.

The so-called time for space, is to slow down, persevere, the fastest growth
