Have you ever tried like this:

1. Want to keep fit, video collection never stops, never acts.

2? I went to the library to read and study for half a day, but I just sat with my mobile phone for half a day.

3? I bought a lot of books, just punched in the circle of friends, and then began to accumulate dust.

4? I wrote all the notes for class, meeting and self-study, but I never opened them afterwards, thinking that it was hard work.

It is often on a whim or when we are stimulated or inspired that we make up our minds to study hard and work hard. You said it wasn't hard, but we worked hard every day, even late at night. You said you had worked hard, but you didn't make much progress. The real effort is not to spend too much time, repeatedly record and accumulate knowledge points, but to think deeply, optimize the resumption, input and output in time, and polish and digest.

Six ways to get rid of "false efforts"

1. Don't repeat what you know in the face of difficulties.

I feel good about what I have learned, but at the same time it is a terrible comfort zone. For example, memorizing texts, memorizing English words, and reading a book that I haven't read for a long time always start from the first few pages, which is well known. Memorize it, and the back will never start. Always stop before you really start challenging difficult things. This kind of psychological escape behavior will never make us progress, and it will also give people a good feeling that I have worked hard and studied.

2. Self-internalization, adhere to the output

Feynman learning method is called the most efficient learning method in the world, and its core is to repeat or tell what you have learned in your own language. For example, you can tell your friends what you have learned in your own language. When you can really say it and others can understand it, you will learn it. Whether it's systematic study in class or self-study at work, while inputting knowledge points, we should also insist on output, exercise our expressive ability and logical ability, and truly apply what we have learned.

3. Set the lower limit without setting the upper limit.

For the work to be completed every day, only set yourself the minimum completion goal, not the maximum completion quantity. If we are going to read a book, don't set it as a week or a Harle. Start by reading 10 page every day. When you really finish reading, you can finish reading two or more books in the original week or month.

Make a daily plan list

What is a fake effort? I want to do many things, but I don't have any plans. I'm obviously anxious, but I don't know where to start. Spend 10 minutes in advance or in the morning every day to list today's work and study plans, and cross out a plan after each item is completed for later optimization. The daily list clarifies the learning tasks, refines the goals to what to do in each step, and makes learning more specific and effective. It is not recommended to rely too much on punching in to learn. In the long run, some people will focus on punching in for punching in, rather than learning itself, and choose a way that suits them and can quickly improve learning efficiency.

Focus on one thing

I want to read books, learn English and practice writing, but people's energy and attention are limited, especially in areas you are not good at. Choose a useful and fastest-growing research first. Once you plan to read for half a day today, don't think about learning English while reading, turn off electronic products, stay away from other things you want to learn for a while and improve your attention. If you do several things at a time, then everything may fall by the wayside, and there will be no significant effect. You unconsciously fall into a false effort, but you still feel good about yourself.

6. Compare results and refine goals.

Many people have set general goals for themselves. For example, I will go to the library to study for three hours today. It seems that as long as you sit in the library for three hours or even a day, you will naturally feel that today's goal has been achieved, and this is just a formalism. It is a quantifiable and effective goal to finish a set of test papers within 3 hours, find out the knowledge points and solve them pertinently, and it is also the real goal to check against the results. Formalism makes people lose themselves, but it has no meaning except to give themselves a little psychological comfort.
