A young carpenter apprentice, at first his master asked him to go to the forest to chop trees every day.

On the first day, the young man worked hard and cut down fourteen trees. The master smiled and told him: "Yes, you can only chop down fifteen trees in one day. You are so close to the best result on the first day!" The young man was very happy after hearing this, so he got up earlier the next day. , hoping to cut down fifteen trees. One day passed, but after counting, the young man found that he had only cut down thirteen trees. He was a little frustrated. On the third day, he got up earlier and went to the forest before dawn, but he only cut down twelve trees.

The young man felt very disappointed and asked himself why he was deteriorating every day. After hearing this, the master smiled and said, "Are you not as enthusiastic as you were on the first day? You ate too much lunch and took a long rest. Really?" The young man said angrily: "I didn't eat breakfast or lunch today, and you actually said I was lazy!" He threw the ax on the ground, and the old foreman immediately picked it up and grabbed the young man. Said: "Look at your ax blade, it has already blossomed. When was the last time you sharpened the axe?" The young man said even more angrily: "I am so busy every day, so I have time to sharpen the axe!"

From this we can find that in fact we often use 20% of the time to complete 80% of the things. So trying to arrange your time in a balanced way, just like checking and sharpening an ax every day, can help us accomplish more in less time. This is a great way to overcome excessive worry and stress, and can also improve the quality of our lives.

There is a saying in China: Sharpening the knife will make you chop wood. Why do you sometimes put in a lot of effort, but achieve little results, and why do some students seem to be very relaxed, but they can get results? Good grades? This is because you haven't learned how to sharpen a knife or how to use a knife.

In class, we cannot fully concentrate on listening to the 40-minute lecture. Instead, we enter the state a few minutes after entering the class. It is good if we can maintain this concentration for about 20 minutes. Therefore, you should also pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of your "attention" when listening to classes. Then take a break between classes and prepare for the following lectures. Because after adequate rest and recharging, your efficiency will increase a lot.

After class, the long-term learning method may not be reliable, because your attention cannot be fully focused on learning for that long, so the efficiency may be extremely low. Although diligence can make up for weakness, diligence must also pay attention to methods. For example, when you are reviewing key points, you should focus more on mobilizing your brain to fully understand and remember. In the remaining time, you can do a little homework, because you can be allowed to "distract" while doing the questions. On the contrary, if you are absent-minded in key places, it will be a waste of time.

No matter what, the learning method must suit you. Under the premise that it suits you, fully mobilize your energy to study when you are most concentrated. You must pay attention to "sharpening" yourself so that you can maximize your learning. Good efficiency. If you have invested a lot of time and have not received good results, then you might as well sharpen your skills, recharge your batteries, relax and come back to study again.
