The book mentions that people find it difficult to apply what they have learned in practice for three main reasons:
1. Information overload: It is much more interesting to acquire new knowledge than to apply existing knowledge, so people nowadays will habitually acquire new knowledge continuously. If we are always exposed to new knowledge, but don't stop to integrate and put it into practice, our brains will be blocked. This is the reason why more and more people are drowning in the sea of information nowadays. To master something, you must completely immerse yourself in it until you completely absorb it. You must chew and digest slowly until it becomes a part of yourself.
2. Negative filtering: human information processing system is quite chaotic, and the negative attitude of "smelly thinking disorder" will make people want to stop. In many cases, we judge the received information by anxious, negative, indecisive, preconceived judgment or clinging to the inherent thinking attitude. Because our brains are often closed and negative, the information we hear or get will be blocked by psychology in our subconscious. We really accept, believe, understand and use information through it. As a result, only 65,438+00% information can enter our subconscious.
3. Lack of follow-up. Many people don't make follow-up plans after they are exposed to new things. As a result, they naturally quickly returned to their old habits. To turn knowledge into action, we need to make a follow-up plan.
In order to change this situation and make us apply what we have learned more and more, the key lies in: repeat, repeat, repeat again! "Repeat, repeat, repeat!" It refers to interval repetition, which is a learning skill. When using this skill, you will repeatedly contact this information at intervals until it finally settles down.
Therefore, the book puts forward an effective way to acquire knowledge from books and apply it:
1. Keep taking notes:? Regarding taking notes, I would like to recommend the post-it note method mentioned by Teacher Zhao Zhou in the book "Opening a Gang".
Reading is divided into: R (reading fragment), I (retelling knowledge in your own words), A 1 (describing your own relevant experience) and A2 (how to apply it in the future).
★R: When reading, you encounter a heartbeat fragment and stop to draw.
★I: Retell the original knowledge in your own words and understand what knowledge itself is.
★A 1: Write your own experience related to this knowledge, and make this knowledge truly relevant to you by reflecting on your own experience.
★A2: Write down what you can do next with this knowledge, so that the knowledge can be really applied to your life, and let us become better because of it.
Rereading notes within 2.24 hours: This is a way to strengthen memory according to people's memory curve. It is also what the ancestors said, "Review the past and learn the new."
3. Pass on what you have learned to others. As the saying goes, teaching learns from others. My training experience of more than ten years also tells me that the best way to thoroughly understand and absorb the knowledge in a book is to refine the content of this book into a course and tell it to others.
"Yes, you must do it. If you do it, you must have results. " -This is a passage on the title page of the book "Unity of Knowing and Doing". Send this sentence to everyone together.
