Thinking habit: start from the end

Methodology of doing things: Pareto law

Behavior habit: concentration

2 Specific analysis Based on the above three points, how to improve efficiency and achievements are elaborated in detail:

Define goals (thinking habits that start at the end)

Before you start to improve your academic performance systematically, you should first think about what your goal is. Or what is the end that begins with the end? Is it a specific score? I don't think so. In fact, your destination is the outline. According to the syllabus, you should master the knowledge points of this subject as required. In fact, you can use some brain mapping tools to sort it out at a glance. The specific carding structure is similar as follows:

History examination outline

Thirdly, the end point of your study is to master these knowledge points according to the exam outline, which is the beginning of your study plan. The principle is: the thinking habit of starting with the end.

Analyze the current situation

According to the examination outline, there is a brain map, that is, your goal is determined. Next, you need to know and carefully understand your current situation, that is, in this brain map, classify knowledge points according to the degree of mastery:

Proficiency: completely master this knowledge point, and all kinds of questions involved can basically be done correctly;

Unfamiliar: knowing the knowledge points and topics involved, some can do it right, some can't do it right, and sometimes there is no idea;

1) Some questions can't.

2) I haven't seen some questions.

3) Some knowledge points are not well understood.

No: I haven't heard of it, or I don't know it at all. I won't do it when I encounter problems;

These three categories are marked with different colors.

Note: You should update this status quo at a fixed frequency.

Searching for Path (Pareto Law)

What does the path here mean? It refers to how you learn and practice some knowledge points from the current situation in a period of time to meet the requirements of the examination outline.

The question now is, how to dynamically find out "some knowledge points" on the critical path? According to Pareto Law (explained at the end of the article), you only need to find out the most important 20% knowledge points that affect your mastery of the exam outline. For details, please refer to the following analysis steps:

Part: analyze the knowledge points that have lost the most points in the past few exams, which are the key paths for you to achieve your goals;

Overall situation: find out the knowledge points of the worst 20% module by comparing the examination syllabus with your current situation;

Get these 20% knowledge points, look for the rest of the knowledge points again, get the most important 20% knowledge points, and so on until the exam outline is fully mastered.

draw up a plan

In the chapter "Finding the Path", the most important 20% knowledge points have been screened out. Next, these knowledge points should be distributed in the daily plan. I won't go into details here, but it needs to be emphasized that there should be clear acceptance criteria for mastery in the plan, so as to facilitate the measurement of the results:

You can easily tell this knowledge to someone who doesn't understand;

All kinds of questions related to this knowledge point can be done quickly;

Plan execution (focus)

The first thing in the morning is to look at your study schedule and then strictly implement it. Here, it is easy to encounter two problems:

Can't enter the state: this can give a very simple way to drive the mental state with the body. For example, if you can't get into the state and start learning, you should force yourself to open the book or exercise book first, and stick to it for more than 10 minutes. No matter whether you can read it or not, you will find that you will unconsciously get into the state.

Lack of concentration: During the study period, people are often distracted or attracted by other things. There are a few short suggestions.

Keep the habit of doing only one thing, and turn off irrelevant books such as mobile phones and computers;

You can listen to some light music when you study. It is recommended to listen to some natural sounds, such as rain and wind.

Pareto law: the 28 effect is the 80/20 law. This principle was put forward by Italian economist and sociologist Vivredo Pareto at the end of19th century and the beginning of 20th century. Its main idea is: in any particular group, important factors usually account for only a few, while unimportant factors account for the majority, so as long as the important few factors can be controlled, the overall situation can be controlled. The law of 80/20 holds that there is an unexplained imbalance between cause and effect, input and output, effort and return. Generally speaking, input and effort can be divided into two different types: 1. Most of them can only have a little impact; 2. A few, they have a great and significant influence.

?

Therefore, the application of learning is to always pay attention to the knowledge points on the exam syllabus that affect the performance of 20%.

I hope the above is useful to you. This answer, I hope to use habits and methods to explain the idea of improving learning efficiency and grades.
