Dark time reading notes-Chapter 2 progress bar, Chapter 3 effective memory and learning

Chapter 2 highlights of the progress bar:

• Progress bar example
• Early exit
• Focus and perseverance
• The donkey starved to death in the licorice room

My summary:

The author introduced an example of a progress bar. Our life is filled with various progress bars. Before we work, we need to make a work plan, specify the todo list, and break down the work and tasks, this not only allows us to constantly estimate and correct the task itself, but also allows us to fully grasp the progress of our work. There is a very big difference between the progress bar and the progress bar, you can give the user a visible expectation, let the user have a bottom. Without progress bars, users tend to be anxious. This is a fear of the unpredictable future and a fear of the unpredictable cost. When the user's psychological anxiety exceeds a threshold, he will choose to give up. Giving up too early will lead to a lot of losses. What are the underlying reasons for "giving up too early? It is a lack of focus and perseverance. Interest is often very important at the beginning of a thing. It allows you to take the initiative to guide and attract you. It may be an instant at the beginning, but it takes a long time to stick to the work. It is often not enough to rely solely on interest. What does it depend on at this time? Focus and perseverance. Even if a person is engaged in an industry that he is not interested in, he can achieve great success as long as he is persevering. The process of doing things will take a long time. We will encounter various choices, some of which are good choices, and we can handle them with ease. However, some of the choices will be very tangled and difficult for us to choose, many people often say this at this time. Let's talk about it later. Maybe I will have an idea later. In fact, there will be no future in the future. "Let's talk about it later" is an alternative to your own choice. The author gave a very vivid example to illustrate this problem. You have some money to invest, but you don't know whether to vote for A or B. It doesn't matter. You can choose not first, but the money is yours. If you have some time to spend on A or B, you have no choice. If time passes, you will not have it. Some people may postpone the decision because they cannot make the decision. The delay decision is often the worst. The delay decision is postponed and the time is quietly lost, but you do not have any accumulation on the road, it's a waste of time. This is also called the donkey who starved to death in the licorice room"

 

Chapter 3 how to effectively remember and learn key points:

• What is the purpose of memory?
• What is the mechanism of memory?
• If you can effectively remember?

My summary:

The purpose of memory is not to memorize it, but to determine or compare the memory in your work and life.

The author provides several examples to illustrate the memory mechanism, including space memory, odor memory, language environment memory, abstraction, and summarization ). To sum up, it is to enrich the clues of memory and precisely encode the memory.

How can we better remember it?

1. Frequent review

2. Create a memory opportunity

2.1 frequent communication with others

2.2 writing and taking notes

2.3 reflection

3. abstract and summary

4. Contact and compare your personal experience
