Many times, we will set goals for ourselves, strive to break through our comfort zone and seek higher development. However, it often backfires. At the beginning of each year, I believe many people will make annual plans. Similar to "I want to read 100 books a year; I want to learn a certain skill within one year; How many days do I have to exercise a year? " There are many, many more, and they must be familiar to list.

However, most of the plans are unreasonable, such as I want to learn a certain skill. There is no quantification, no specific time, and more importantly, it must be separated. For example, learning English, a person with a certain foundation, don't recite many words every month, but translate many articles. Just like we learn Chinese, if we go to junior high school and read all day, we will be laughed at. At this time, we need to learn the structure and logic of English, and it is more effective to experience it through articles, movies and TV plays.

Challenging your limits is a shortcut to forcing yourself to grow up quickly.

After mastering the method of making a plan, it is more important to implement it. However, it is common to fish for two days and dry the net for three days. Our brain itself rejects change, and maintaining the original state is the most comfortable state. If you want to jump out of your comfort zone, you must have a strong stimulus to your brain. According to my own experience, I should create a dilemma for myself, force myself to break through repeatedly, and leave no room for my brain to think about retreat.

I found that choosing difficult projects to complete in my work is a shortcut to forced growth. In other words, choose a job that is beneficial to your growth. For example, I just finished the landscaping of a residential area some time ago, and the contents involved are extremely complicated. Not only are there many contents in my major, but the coordination with other majors is also unimaginable. The regular construction period is 3 months, but the actual time given to me is only 1 month. What should I do? Usually, I have a lot of time to think and choose the best scheme. Now we can only use our own experience to judge the most reasonable scheme at present, leaving ourselves a short time to make a decision. This means that I have to spend a lot of energy on the task of greening the community every day, and I have no extra time to think about other projects or things other than work.

I therefore reached a state:

1, concentrate on only one thing.

2. Deal with an extremely complicated matter in a short time.

First, focus on only one thing, which is very similar to the principle of meditation. Don't have too many distractions, concentrate. Second, dealing with an extremely complicated thing in a short time is to challenge your own limits. I did it. You see, I focused on challenging my limits. I didn't try to find out where my limits were, nor did I consider how to challenge my limits. I just found a relatively complicated thing for me to do. In the adult world, task-driven is more effective than goal-driven.

Instead of thinking about how to set goals or how to do it, it is better to collect information about what is a complex system task in an industry. Systematic tasks will contain a lot of basic knowledge and related skills. While learning skills well, they can also be superimposed. A project is more useful than simple practice.
