Reasons for weak rational brain

It is to clarify the responsibilities between the three brains and clearly define the rights and responsibilities.

The rational brain does not work directly. The work is done by the instinctive brain and the emotional brain because of their great "power". God has given the rational brain wisdom so that it can drive instincts and emotions rather than directly replace them.

Regardless of individuals or groups, human beings' sense of security comes from their unique advantages in some aspect: ability, wealth, power, or influence.

·Masahito Ueda, the author of the book "Thinking Power" reminds: The essence of thinking power is to "discard all the digested information and let the core of the problem surface"; ·The core methodology in "Deliberate Practice" is: don't repeat what you have already learned, but keep looking for the slightly more difficult parts; ·Ray Dalio, the author of "Principles", lists the principles in work and life to clearly guide one's actions; ·The book "Beyond Feelings" tells us that if we want to have clear logic, we must stick to one thing: don't judge everything based on vague feelings, but look for clear evidence

The only way is to face it, see it clearly, dismantle it, resolve it, and not give it a chance to enter the subconscious or become blurred; even if it has entered the subconscious, you must find a way to dig it out. So, when you feel an unexplainable and uncomfortable feeling in your heart, sit down quickly and ask yourself questions.

Clarify the importance

First use your perceptual abilities to help you choose, and then use your rational abilities to help you think.

Goals are where our passion and energy reside.

You can realize what you are thinking, and then realize whether those thoughts are wise, and then further correct those unwise thoughts, and ultimately make better choices.

External model: always help you look at your current self from high, deep, and far away, so that you can stay awake and not get lost, stay motivated, not slack off, and stay calm and not impulsive. With the blessing of such ability

summary

Tools for improving metacognitive abilities need to be obtained from the "past" side, including learning the wisdom of predecessors and reflecting on one's own experiences.

My own experience is a unique wealth.

If learning and reflection are static, then how can the current and dynamic self actively use metacognition? It's very simple, activate your "soulmate"!

There are many ways to improve metacognition, but the most unexpected is the following one - meditation.

We are naturally influenced by our subconscious mind

Growth is about active control

Whenever we encounter a situation that requires a choice, if we can stop and think for a few seconds, we may activate our rational brain, use metacognition to examine our current thinking, and then make a different choice.

Become the thinking helm of your own life

However, as far as the mind-body separation model is concerned, the physical impact is really trivial. What is really serious is that it will have a lasting negative impact on our emotional state and ability improvement.

First, have clearly defined goals

Second, be extremely focused during practice

Third, be able to obtain effective feedback

Fourth, always practice in the stretching zone

practice model

It is more important to find a way that you can persist in doing it than to simply follow a standardized time and method. I used to think that it took more time to learn well and achieve results. In fact, it was because I was eager for success and wanted quick results, which made it difficult to persist. Now that the difficulty and standards have been lowered, my ability to act can continue to increase. Although it may take longer to achieve the goal, I believe that such persistence can eventually produce a compound interest effect.

Making choices is an extremely energy-consuming thing. Without matching sobriety and determination, most people will eventually be dominated by their strong nature and choose entertainment. In a constrained environment, we are more efficient and live a more fulfilling life.

Repeat in the stretch area to find your focus

Learning is not just about working hard, and growing up doesn’t just require “fighting” and exerting willpower. As long as you stand on the edge of your comfort zone, move out little by little, and be friends with time, you will definitely transform inadvertently.

Although technology and information have developed tremendously in our generation, human learning mechanisms have not changed rapidly along with it. The operating mode of our brains is almost the same as it was hundreds of years ago. The worse news is that while abundant information and diverse methods bring convenience, they also deeply deplete people's ability to learn deeply, and this tendency is becoming more and more obvious. There are various indications that fast, simple, and relaxed methods have amplified people's nature of seeking refuge and eagerness for quick success, suppressing the potential of the rational brain, and the ability of deep learning almost entirely relies on the support of the advanced rational brain.

Technology is developing rapidly, but human beings’ ability to acquire knowledge and transform it is still primitive and needs to be respected.

Three steps of deep learning

Specific methods

In addition to making us less impetuous and sharpening our rationality, deep learning can also bring many benefits, such as the improvement of cross-border capabilities.

Deep learning can also make people more inspired.

Deep learning also allows us to see more connections between different things and generate insights.

Focus on deep learning while remaining open to shallow learning.

Restate the information in your own words, that is, find the information points that touch you

Describe your own relevant experiences, that is, relate to other knowledge in life

My application means turning it into action, so that I can actually change myself.

The vast majority of people are accustomed to looking at things in isolation and like to spend a lot of time collecting and possessing information; Another group of pioneers prefer to fiddle with the correlation between information, thus becoming smart without knowing it.

The acquisition of knowledge does not depend on how much, but on whether it is relevant to oneself, and how sufficient this correlation is.

You need clear goals or strong needs.

How to obtain related abilities

It's all about taking the initiative

Knowledge is your knowledge only if it helps you make practical decisions.

The purpose of personal growth is no longer "knowing and understanding", but "judgment and choice"

Very concerned about formal integrity [Misunderstanding]

The essence of a system is to use a unique perspective to integrate some scattered and independent knowledge, concepts or opinions into methods and techniques for dealing with the world.

Break down each company's cognitive system, take only the points or chunks that touch you the most, and then splice them into your own cognitive network.

Need to strengthen

Forgot the original intention

If something is not completed for a long time, you will always worry about it and look forward to finishing it soon; once it is completed, the motivation to do it will immediately tend to zero.

Characteristics of the check-in mentality: If you can’t learn, pretend for a while; if you learn, stop immediately.

Just concentrate on what is in front of you.

Use records instead of punching in

Set a lower limit but not an upper limit

The scientific learning strategy is to produce works, obtain feedback, and drive the instinctive and emotional brains to "play and play" instead of blindly working hard and letting the rational brain work hard to "learn and learn".

You will have a clear and strong awareness of your work, you will pay more attention to output and application, you will devote yourself to polishing your work, and you will actively exchange feedback from the outside world.

Lock in value – polish your work – exchange for feedback

Sharing is not about sharing half-finished products at will, but doing your best to polish the work into the best possible look within your current capabilities.

Develop a sharing strategy to show off to those who are less capable than you.

Treat blows calmly and objectively.

All pain is a reminder of growth given to us by God.

Wrong question book

Classical jump theory: polish your work—reach the head of a hill—receive more attention—move to the head of a bigger mountain—achieve a life jump with the help of system thrust.

Real learning and growth is not about "hard work, hard work, hard work", but "feedback, feedback, feedback again"

The “Four Elements of Deliberate Practice”: well-defined goals, extreme focus, effective feedback, and practicing in the stretching zone.

Never overexert yourself. Whenever you feel low on energy, stop and take the initiative to rest. This will quickly increase the water level in your energy bucket.

Take active breaks and repeat with extreme concentration

After all, overcoming difficulties and resisting temptations require willpower.

A true master of self-control is not a person who only knows how to sprint, but a person who is good at taking the initiative to rest and maintain balance.

Because the initial choice affects the direction of automatic reinforcement of behavior.

Whether the attention-enhancing loop is positive or negative depends largely on your initial choices

Everything is only known roughly, which is very fatal to improving mobility.

Clarity, that is, the ability to refine and concrete goals - action can only be reconstructed with the support of clarity.

Write down the planned things

In order to better pull you back from the path you have temporarily gone astray

The process of building slowly

People who want to see results first before taking action often fail to see results.

Actually. Thinking is important, but just thinking without doing will cause endless harm.

This is also a vicious cycle

Do it first, and the final real result is the best "judge".

We must focus and continue to act until we break through the threshold, so that we can see the scenery at a higher level

When you can't stop, it means you have exceeded the threshold and risen to a new level.

If you think what others are saying is well-founded, but you can't refute it for the time being, and you happen to want to do it very much, then believe what they say is right, and then act decisively.

If it doesn’t feel right, change it; if it suits you, use it.

The same logic is put before us. Some people think it is chicken soup and of no use, while some people think it is dry goods and very useful. If you can continue to act, I believe that the world will favor you.

The most important thing is to believe first, then use it and use it frequently.

In fact, I had this problem before in high school. I was always looking for skills, but I didn't do it well.

No matter how good the logic is, if you don’t practice deliberately and stimulate the strong connections of relevant neurons, these beautiful cognitions will never really have an impact on you.

Treat cognition as a skill. When you know or figure out a truth, don't be too happy too early. Think about it and do a lot of practice later, so that you won't be impetuous.

As long as you keep practicing, the connections between neurons will inevitably become stronger and stronger. Even if you feel that you are temporarily regressing, don't be discouraged, because you may have entered a learning plateau. Hope and patience are hidden in your deliberate practice and in the continuously strengthening neuron connections. Whether you like it or not, as long as you continue to practice, you will definitely do better day by day. One day, you will Really experience the thrill of "doing it".

It is better to know a hundred things than to change one thing. Real growth does not lie in how much you understand, but in how much you change.

When it comes to growth, principles are all "empty promises", while change is the "real money". When you base everything on change, your growth path will be clearer.

Mental bandwidth is the capacity of the mind, which supports human cognition, action and self-control.

Under certain conditions, poverty will indeed make people stupid. This is not because poverty makes people incapable, but because the scarcity caused by poverty captures people's attention, thereby reducing people's mental bandwidth.

Any event that creates stress will occupy our mental bandwidth. As long as our attention is attracted by something huge, we are likely to enter a state of scarcity, reduce our mental bandwidth, and behave unwisely.

When a person faces many tasks at the same time, his mental bandwidth will be reduced, and he will lose mobility and self-control.

First, stay aware of the environment and make rational choices

Second, maintain goal awareness, less is more

Third, maintain awareness of desires and review decisions

Fourth, maintain emotional awareness and make careful decisions

Fifth, maintain idle awareness and set limits on yourself

Every person, every object, every thing in the world is multi-dimensional.

It's just that some people will focus on the flaws no matter how good things happen, while some people can find the bright spots in any bad thing and magnify it, ignoring other shortcomings.

First, move frequently

Second, be good at learning

Third, be open

Fourth, seek help

Fifth, exercise more

Sixth, reflect often

A person wants to live happily

Difficulties and pressure can always grab people's emotions and attention, making it difficult for you to see other perspectives.

The thing itself is not important, we are just getting another kind of fun through it, and we did it by the way.

People who really hope to establish influence through writing will not be completely bound by external motivations such as "remuneration" and "traffic". They often write for their own growth, for the needs of the public, and for long-term value. Written to create a world of my own. Even if there are no flowers and applause, they will continue to output and grow. The feedback and rewards they receive are only accidents and surprises, not inevitable and expected. Such a mentality can allow their pen tips to continue to release power and ultimately achieve their dreams, because the choice is always in their own hands.

Doing it for yourself is usually to cope with external pressure and demands, while doing it for fun is to cope with repetitive and boring things.

The infinite truth is indeed easy to scare people, but as long as you focus on the inch in front of you, you will get happiness from that inch.

When growing up, sometimes you have to look at the long term so that you can understand the meaning and gain motivation; sometimes you have to look closer so that you can move forward happily without fear of difficulties.

Doing it for yourself can free up your emotions, and doing it for fun can free your attention.

Once successful people discover the good habits of others, they will immediately make this habit their own. I was moved by this sentence and started to take action. Now I will pass it on to you. Maybe it will also become a catalyst for you to start getting up early.

Being able to quickly enter a state of concentration and being able to maintain a state of concentration for a long time are the two most important habits for efficient learning.

Start meditating and practice it regularly, and you will gradually get out of your emotional dilemma and become a person who is calm and stable in everything.

The first level is emotional decision

The second level: rational decision

People who are used to making "emotional decisions" tend to give up on everything halfway, while people who are good at making "rational decisions" are more likely to turn their ideas into reality.

Look at reading from another angle

Reading makes people have high-density thinking

Reading is a technical activity

That is, no matter what you study, you must try to figure out what they are talking about, what their actual meaning is, and then re-tell it in your own words.

The so-called Feynman technique is to use your own language to explain something clearly in the simplest words, preferably so that laymen can understand it.

"Dark Time"

First use a suitable story to attract the interest and attention of the other party's "emotional person", and then convey the truth you want to express to the "rational person" through the "emotional person"

Use a lot of analogies, and try not to use any rhetoric except analogies and parallels... If you practice this principle often, you will slowly find that you not only write better, but also learn better.

To express it again in your own words is to mobilize your own troops.

"Deliberate Practice"

"Stop being ridiculous, Mr. Feynman"

People who exercise frequently have an internal ecosystem that is like a clear spring, while those who sit for long periods of time have an internal ecosystem that is more like a pool of stagnant water.

Exercise causes the brain to grow more new neurons, which means exercise can make people physically "smarter."

Therefore, exercise is not the key, but the arrangement of activities and environmental stimulation after exercise are the key.

So the flaw of most athletes lies here: lack of awareness and habit of active learning after exercising.

Keep yourself somewhat breathless while doing aerobic exercise.

A good exercise method must include both aerobic exercise and complex exercise

The greater significance of exercise is not to keep fit but to strengthen the brain

Increase sensitivity to time

Review the things or insights that touched you the most that day

① Describe the process - so that you can remember the scene when you look back in the future; ②Analyze the reasons - ask several more questions until you have deep inspiration; ③Improvement measures—Extract a cognitive point or action point as much as possible

Always treat the other person's emotions and opinions separately so that you can learn something useful even from the worst situations.

First, touch learning method

Second, use original cognition

Third, follow the principle of deliberate practice

First, pay less attention to form and pay more attention to content.

Second, try to refine cognitive points or action points

Third, make an action list

Fourth, be extremely honest with yourself

Fifth, read more

Sixth, choose the appropriate record carrier.
