The law of entropy increase - the underlying law of all problems
The underlying law of all problems is the law of entropy increase. The law of entropy increase refers to an isolated system and a non-living system. If it is isolated or placed in a uniform environment, all movements in the environment will Because of the existence of friction, it stops in an extremely limited time. Eventually the entire system will degenerate into a lifeless, lifeless mass of matter. This state will never change and people cannot observe any changes in the system because it has become dead.

The law of entropy increase - the underlying law of all problems
Preface
Superimposing countless ordinary actions, they are finally intertwined into something extraordinary. The essence of change is actually to create new experiences and replace old experiences with new ones. Creating new experiences requires new methods, new feedback, new reinforcement, and personal experience.
1. The underlying law of all problems: the law of entropy increase
Definition: The law of entropy increase refers to an isolated system and a non-living system. If it is isolated or placed in a uniform environment, all movements in the environment will be extremely unstable due to the existence of friction. Stop for a limited time. Eventually the entire system will degenerate into a lifeless, lifeless mass of matter. This state will never change and people cannot observe any changes in the system because it has become dead.
Two conditions: one is that no external force does work, and the other is an isolated system.
Negative entropy: If there is external force doing work and the system is open, it can resist the increase of entropy and achieve negative entropy.
Actions individuals should take to combat entropy
Create a dissipative structure
Definition: An open system far from equilibrium.
Application: If a person is in a state of continuous imbalance or unevenness, he will not fall into a state of entropic death. The essence is that external forces continue to do work.
Keep pushing beyond your comfort zone
The knowledge and skills he has learned through learning, outputting and using are also a dissipative structure. Because when knowledge or skills are output and used, these knowledge, cognitions, and skills will gradually be internalized into personal behaviors and habits, helping him to jump to a higher cognitive level and have a better life.
Avoid path dependencies
Definition: Self-reinforcing inertia of choice.
In the process of finding new paths, break through the original system and explore the path in a larger and more open system.
Intrinsic Motivation at its Best: Mental Negtropy
Key factor: focus.
In fact, being in this state can reduce the mental load.
Another name: Flow.
All things live on negative entropy.
2. The law of entropy reduction: growth mindset
Characteristics of those with a growth mindset
Actively work hard, be willing to accept challenges, and be willing to work hard to solve problems and strive for good results.
With stronger resilience, failure in a challenge will think that it means they have a broader space for growth, and their potential is more likely to be stimulated, because it allows them to see the gap between their challenge goals, and the impact of this gap Tension becomes the internal motivation for growth thinkers to train and work hard, motivating them to continue to invest time and energy in deliberate training for their goals and continue to work in an open system.
Three major misunderstandings
Bask in existing strengths.
Just stare at the effort.
Growth mindset is not only a way of thinking about the effort itself, but also the entire process including the effort and subsequent strategies, reflection, iteration, and action again.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Know how to listen and learn different strategies, and then use different strategies to repeatedly consider a difficult problem to find suboptimal or even optimal solutions, and use effective and efficient ways to solve various stuck points.
Shouting slogans in vain.
Goals are not results. Paths and resources are needed to achieve goals.
Schema building
four major obstacles
success
past
Memories and emotions are never great ways to learn, and they can prevent a person from learning and trying new things.
Performance
The external display is only the result, and the preparation, pattern, knowledge, cognition and skill growth behind the result are the decisive factors for excellence.
fear
Perfect and precise force
Aim high
Courage to act
action, feedback, adjustment, action
perseverance
Positive and optimistic
Take responsibility
Be a lifelong learner
3. The law of entropy reduction: the principle of loss aversion
We are more afraid of failure than success
Star Law, lasting change (positive utilization)

rewards and punishments
persist in
Correction
Avoid negative effects
slow thinking
Loss inspires action

application
Reduce triggering strategies
Find positive triggers
Create your own trigger circle
If a person wants to continuously improve in a certain field, the most effective way is to find and integrate himself into a certain environment and let people in the environment trigger it.
Combating the entropy increase outside the system: the broken window effect.
Definition: If someone breaks a window in a house, more windows are likely to be broken, until eventually someone breaks into the building...
Approach
Process immediately
Never tolerant
Making a fuss out of a molehill
home field effect
5. The law of entropy reduction: path dependence effect
sunk cost curse
The cornerstones of the theory of human institutional change: property rights theory, state theory and ideology theory.
History is important, not only in learning from the past, but also because the present and future are connected to the past through the continuity of social systems, so the choices of today and tomorrow are also determined by the past.
Principle: The power of inertia strengthens choices and considers benefits and costs.
The formation of any method or skill is accompanied by the investment of experience, time or resources.
Inputs that occurred in the past and are no longer relevant to the current decision are called sunk costs.
For wrong paths, stop and move forward, and stop losses in time.
The rules from formation to failure
path development period
Path convergence period
Path failure period
Demand exceeds supply, products are in short supply, and the bottleneck is production. Supply exceeds demand, products are unsaleable, and the bottleneck is sales.
pros and cons
Handy on the beaten path.
Others take new paths and attack by reducing dimensions.
If I destroy you, it has nothing to do with you.
Break and build again, change the rules
Establish life goals
Personal path dependence is often caused by the loss of a person's own inner motivation, and the lack of inner motivation is because he can never find his own life goal.
Try the smallest closed loop and find a new path.
Collect indirect experience
Keep working and wait for compound interest.
Ability can be cultivated by continuous work and deliberate practice.
6. The law of entropy reduction: flow
Definition: The best experience of self-awareness, the best growth experience, the state of focusing on a certain behavior.
Improve quality of life and increase efficiency.
State characteristics: Time flies, not aware of anything else, running automatically, feeling happy.
five paths
focus
The bandwidth of the brain is limited, and the state of concentration is priceless.
clear goal
Timely feedback
Timely feedback is an effective signal that proves that your behavior is leading to the achievement of a goal or task.
According to habit theory, through continuous actions and rewards, not only can habits be formed and order established, but also a person's self-identity can be strengthened and people feel a sense of accomplishment. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory, a sense of accomplishment is the top human need and is something that people pursue with strong motivation. Therefore, with repeated reinforcement over and over again, people will maintain their motivation to act, thus pursuing more sense of certainty and self- A sense of identity and accomplishment.
Effective combination of challenge level and skill level
Use your best efforts to challenge the level that was previously higher than your normal level, and it is not a problem or stuck point that you cannot solve at all.
Make worries disappear
Anxiety is an irritable emotion caused by excessive worry about the future, fate and life safety of oneself or those around him or her.
method
meditation
Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, bringing your attention to your breathing.
sports
Endorphins can not only regulate bad emotions, but also help people improve sleep, improve immunity, and improve work efficiency.
Switch perspective
Observe yourself in the spatial or temporal dimension.
Energetic way of working
Set clear work goals at any time
List mid- and long-term goals through thinking, and align them in a timely manner so that your hard work is not in vain.
Proactively seek positive feedback
Stay motivated and determined.
Challenge difficult tasks
Enter a new field of study and improve your skills.
Gamification training method
Timely feedback (Point)
Clear goals (Badge)
Ranking (Ladder)
7. Law of entropy reduction: Rosenthal effect
See hope and know the path.
A person's IQ and ability are not fixed. Through the activation of external factors, anyone can make great progress in a short period of time.
Trust and expectation are very critical elements in activating a person's IQ and ability.
The essence of management is actually to inspire and release everyone's goodwill.
If there are positive effects, there will inevitably be negative effects.
Note the crow's beak.
Crack negative effects
"Nonviolent Communication": A technique that puts the thoughts behind the other person's language on the table, so that people can "aware" and make behavioral changes.
Facts: Tell the facts of what happened before.
Feelings: How your feelings change after the fact.
Request: If you feel bad because your feelings have changed, ask the other person if you can do this...
change mantra
Mantras, which appear frequently without knowing it, often reveal our subconscious, and the subconscious that becomes externalized through language will become reality through constant revelation and strengthening.

Become a person who constantly iterates and improves
Anything else missing?

Application in daily life
Negative Rosenthal effect of intrinsic underlying assumptions (self-fulfilling prophecy)
Carl Jung: Your subconscious guides your life. People call it destiny.
inspire kindness in others
Treat others as trustworthy.
See others as people worth standing up for.
See others as problem solvers for you.
If you regard the other party as your enemy, others will also be hostile to you. If you treat the other party as a friend who guides you and provides you with solutions, then others will automatically step into the role and become a problem solver.
See others as people worthy of gratitude.
Treat others as mentors, and others will also be kind to you.
8. The Law of Entropy Reduction: Horsefly Effect
It can be a kind of obsession on the spiritual level, a requirement of oneself.
Building a "Horsefly"
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
clear goal.
Ideals and beliefs, willpower training
9. Law of entropy reduction: Desi effect
The higher the reward, the lower the interest.
Definition: In some cases, when individuals have both external and internal motivations, not only will their work motivation not be enhanced, but their motivation will be weakened.
If an activity is enjoyable (intrinsic motivation), do not provide material stimulation (extrinsic motivation), otherwise the activity will become less attractive in people's minds.
External motivation is effective in the short term. As the external motivation decreases, the motivation energy will gradually decrease until it finally approaches 0.
Three elements of internal motivation
autonomy
option
Sense of competence
“I can do it” is the core element that drives internal motivation through a sense of competence.
social connection
sense of belonging
Science inspires intrinsic motivation
Give autonomy, design a sense of competence, and guide social connections.
Find one thing that you have always been willing to do and pursue long-termism.
10. Law of entropy reduction: Hawthorne effect
Let yourself be seen and be motivated.
The more attention you receive, the better you become.
If the common interests of an informal organization in a group, rather than individual capabilities or the formal goals of the organization, are the core content that affects effectiveness.
Seeing others brings us closer to each other.
See yourself and enhance your reputation.
There is only one failure in consulting: the customer does not believe in your ability.
Because there is a problem of trust, it is necessary to persuade. The time cost of persuasion and the experience cost of bargaining are all the transaction costs of closing a consulting client.
Let the reputation flywheel spin. Attract customers with high trust and low transaction costs through reputation and strengthen the knowledge flywheel. Through enhanced knowledge, better works can be produced and the work flywheel can be enhanced. Then the reputation flywheel is further enhanced through works, and a flywheel of reputation-knowledge-works-reputation is turned.
11. The law of entropy reduction: Pareto’s law
Do 20% of the important things
80/20 rule
Write down 10 important things and choose two to do first.
Ability required to identify 20% of key elements
Extremely strong thinking ability
Have the insight to find out how you should arrange your time resources, energy resources and financial resources.
Improve thinking rate (a measure of thinking coverage)
Ask yourself.
Is this the path dependence imposed on one's mind by the traditional consciousness of society, or is it the result of careful consideration after a deep understanding of oneself.
Is this the 20% that is particularly important to you? Can you enter the flow of your mind at any time every day and enter a working state where you forget both things and yourself?
thought process
Perception: The efficiency with which the human brain receives information from the outside world.
Cognition: Making judgments about perceived situations and formulating alternative action plans.
Decision-making: Find the optimal solution among several options in the cognitive stage and make up your mind to implement it.
action.
In fact, the improvement of any ability is the result of deliberate practice. The overall thinking effect = thinking quality × thinking rate. The quality of thinking will continue to increase as the number of thinking and the number of feedback on thinking effect increase.
Beyond ordinary people’s learning ability
Summarize and refine previous experience and internalize it into your own skills.
Characteristics of the times: Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity.
Steps to improve learning ability
Use the 80/20 rule to improve your cognition.
Use knowledge IPO to internalize, transfer knowledge from the medium to the brain, and turn it into habits and stress responses.
Input a question, enter a question.
Learning knowledge should be aimed at continuous problem solving.
Problem solving, solving problems.
Output, output product.
Integrate all kinds of information and knowledge collected during the problem-solving stage and turn it into its own relatively structured output. Because I thought about it in the process of outputting the product and turned it into a product by writing it out, this The process can not only truly remember the knowledge encountered throughout the process, but also clarify what knowledge may be effective in solving problems, and in the future, you can continue to review products and review knowledge by reading through them.
Get involved and ask for feedback.
Exploration ability in facing unknown situations
Existing knowledge is used to generate questions. Bravely venture into no man’s land.
horse racing mechanism
Continue to make relatively greater limited investments where feedback is relatively good
Get rid of the "poor and busy" dilemma
Find the second curve
There is no escaping the fate of the S-shaped curve. The only variable is the length of the curve.
Jump to another path before its life ends.
12. The law of entropy reduction: compound interest effect
The first strategy in life
The most important thought: Life is like a snowball. The important thing is to find the wet snow and the long slope.
The demand that a product carrier meets is difficult to replace, the longer the ramp represented by this product carrier.
Just like the premise for the compound interest effect to start is "compound interest", your progress must also be included in the part that you want to continue to grow to form "very wet snow".
The flywheel of "cause" is constantly promoting "effect", and the growth of "effect" becomes the "cause" on the next logical link. When this flywheel rotates, in the cause-and-effect cycle of annual growth percentage, even if it is only 20 % will continue to rise and will double in 3.8 years (1.2 to the power of 3.8 is approximately equal to 2).
Be a long-termist and continue to enjoy the ""compound interest effect""
intangible assets
brand.
Patents are exclusive rights and interests.
Copyright, the legal ownership of the rights to reproduce literary works, musical works, photographs, games, computer programs, films and television, etc.
As long as you can make efforts in multiple compatible fields, it is not too difficult for individuals to obtain a moat of intangible assets.
Be knowledgeable, integrate and innovate.
Cost advantage: scale and management
Scale determines cost. The larger the scale, the lower the cost of goods.
During the production, transportation, and sale of goods, there are demands for continuous improvement in various rates such as production efficiency, yield rate, and loss rate. Management is the key.
network effect
One-sided network effects
It is up to the users to decide. If there are more users, there will be more and more users.
multilateral network effects
This grows, the other grows, this disappears, the other disappears.
Migration costs
Prevent users from escaping
When passive income is greater than active income, a person can achieve financial freedom. Passive income refers to non-salary income, including financial management income, real estate rental income, securities fund income, and author remuneration income.
Personal growth compound interest
Any exponential growth cannot escape a pattern. The initial growth is not fast, or even very slow, but once the growth curve reaches a certain inflection point, subsequent growth will become faster and faster and enter the surge stage. The same is true for personal growth curves.
Seeing personal growth curves changes decisions
Change money decisions.
Investing in yourself will benefit you in the long run.
Improve low mood.
Be a motivating factor when procrastination strikes. Don’t be impatient and anxious in the slow progress every day, and greet the future at the speed of one day. The achievements that will inevitably come will not be wasted.
The premise for the compound interest effect to work is that the work done to overcome the increase in entropy must be continuous and uninterrupted.
