How to make your thoughts (your own, others) more organized: The Blue fonts of several books (the third edition) related to this topic are added or modified in the third edition.

Recently, I 've been reading books about how to make my thoughts (your own, others') more organized. I think the following books are typical and have their own characteristics:

《 Microsoft. NET Enterprise application architecture design, pyramid principle, McKinsey method, McKinsey consciousness, McKinsey tools, Mind Map, Six Thinking Hats, horizontal thinking, how to read a book "Zen of Speech"" Web Information Architecture Design for large websites.

《Microsoft. NETEnterprise-level application architecture design:《Micorosoft. Net Technical ting application for the enteprieIs about. NetArchitecture, which was previously viewed. Chinese version is this year6Months. The two principles of complex information collation in the book are impressive:1: Classification: sorts information;2: Rule to summarize the rules for information changes. I think this is also two basic principles that make my thoughts organized.

The pyramid principle is said to be McKinsey's internal training material on writing. I have bought it for several years. Just read. For me, I have read the preface and the previous chapters, and I am not interested in carefully reading the content. I feel that there is nothing new. The pyramid in the title refers to thought. I thinkArticleThere may be too many classes to be classified. Similarly, the idea is pyramid-shaped.

McKinsey's method, McKinsey's consciousness, and McKinsey's tools are a series. I thought the McKinsey method could not be the whole idea of McKinsey's analysis. The book consists of four parts. The first part is "McKinsey's method of thinking about problems", which is related to my topic. The basic idea is to classify complex information. McKinsey consciousness and McKinsey tools have not been viewed yet.

Mind Map is a popular book last year. It is said that it has been popular in the United States for several years. I spent a lot of time talking about the relevant principles (the human brain is more interested in graphics than text ). I think the biggest advantage of mind map is to sort out the messy thoughts in the human brain. It is very important to classify these ideas, but it is not mentioned in the book. I think it is the focus of a person's mind map.

Related software is not mentioned in the book. However, according to my observation and imagination, if we do not use software, but use paper to draw a mind map, there is a major defect, that is, poor scalability. There may be a lot of white space on the paper, but there is no white space around a node that needs to be extended and expanded. Of course, you can choose a larger paper. The disadvantage is that it is more inconvenient to draw and read.

I feel that the biggest advantage of Mind Map made with software is to allow readers to take into account both the global and the details, and remind readers to pay attention to the global situation from time to time.

The "Six Thinking Hats" and "Horizontal thinking" are books dedicated to thinking. "Six Thinking Hats" is a way of thinking. I feel that it is mainly applicable to internal discussions. The author suggests dividing the basic attitudes of the discussion into six attitudes: rational, emotional, optimistic, pessimistic, innovative, and summarized, corresponding to white, red, yellow, black, green, blue. Participants need to be aware of which hats correspond to their basic attitudes, and may be asked to switch their hats to think about problems. Due to cultural differences, the author explains that black hats do not have any bad meanings, rather they do not have special instructions on green hats or simply change colors. I have mentioned Confucius and Chinese culture in the book. I feel that it is not accurate.

"How to read a book" is a famous book. People who have read it should read it earlier. The two authors are the editors and editors of the encyclopedia of English. from the content of the book, they are indeed knowledgeable and involved in the mathematics and physics of literature, history, and philosophy. They think that there are four levels of reading: basic reading, view reading, analysis reading, and topic reading. Basic reading is the most basic word-breaking, and basically understands what the author wants to say. Reading is to read the preface, contents, and other content of a book at a relatively high speed, and quickly understand whether this book is suitable for reading by yourself. Analysis and reading refers to reading a book with a lot of energy and carefully analyzing what the author wants to express. Reading a topic is to read multiple books on a topic. But I decided to read this book ). The book also provides some suggestions for reading important types of books, such as science and mathematics, literature, history, and philosophy.

The author of "Zen of Speech" is deeply influenced by the Zen of Buddhism and pursues simplicity. A basic and distinctive idea in the book is:PPTNot equal to document,PPTIt must be simple. Only images can be understood only when the speaker says it.PPTWhat does it mean. In this way, the audience can focus on the speaker's speech. The document can be sent to attendees for reference after the meeting. SpecificPPTDesign Skills: improve the signal-to-noise ratio, reduce noise, and make pictures easier to remember, retain white, compare, repeat, align, and nearby than words;

The content related to the topic of this article is not mentioned in the book. There are two points in my summary: first, we should always be clear about the purpose of the speech. What should I explain? Second, we need to classify and use the content hierarchically.PowerPointTo control the global.

Web Information Architecture: Design large websites" is relatively thick and professional, I have read more than half of it. From the perspective of the topic of this article, Web what information architecture should address is how to make the information of an organization more organized. The first half focuses on the specific information architecture technology: Organizational System ( Organization System ), tag system, navigation system, search system, the controlled Word Table and metadata in the word table. The second half describes the process and methodology, practices, and cases. It seems that there is not much fresh content, but I have never seen other books to combine the content. I feel that this book is still professional, worthy personnel (not necessarily it workers) read a read.
