I have learned a lot of knowledge and read a lot of books, but I can’t output it? Three-step structural thinking to resolve

The New Year’s Eve bell in 2021 is ringing with the speeches of many knowledgeable experts. For example, Luo Pang's speech is known to everyone on the Internet, and Zhang Meng's speech later, etc. While being shocked by their cutting-edge concepts and incisive knowledge, have we ever thought about a question? In the past year, we have also been studying on Get, Chaos or other learning platforms. We have read many books on building knowledge IP. Why have we still not obtained it? Take action to export knowledge.

?I have always had this confusion.

When reading "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", the author Stephen Covey warned us that when reading this book, we should read it in the role of a teacher. In addition to absorbing it, we must also be able to repeat it. As you read, you should be prepared to share or discuss it with others within the next 48 hours. As people who have grown up soaked in knowledge, of course we cannot just be satisfied with sharing knowledge or content. We have higher requirements, not only to share, but also to ensure the quality and quality of sharing. But when we face a notebook full of memories, we don’t know where to start. After summarizing knowledge and distributing it, it becomes a USB flash drive for storing knowledge. When the socket is unplugged, the brain is still foggy.

Anyone who likes to read Three Kingdoms knows that Zhuge Liang is very good at calculating and calculating. He seems to predict the opponent's moves before fighting with him, and is just waiting to take the move and invite him into the urn. Behind such strategic wisdom is Zhuge Liang's extremely careful thinking. There is this record in "The Biography of Zhuge Liang": "At the beginning, Liang was in Jingzhou, studying with Yuan Zhi, Meng Gongwei of Runan, and Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan. The three of them were devoted to mastery, while Liang alone observed the general outline." All three people were good at learning. , has very high talents, and Zhuge Liang's outstanding feature is always able to read the general outline. When studying, he starts from the big picture instead of sticking to the details. That is what we often call a very high strategy and pattern.

So how do we ordinary people study and study? I have loved reading stories and watching TV series since I was a child. When I read, I am very fast. I don’t know how to use reading skills, but I always want to turn to the last page to see the ending. Even now when I listen to stories with my children, I am always attracted by the plot of the story and am more fascinated than the children. My children often ask me to tell stories, but I always refuse. One time, my father couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "You have heard so many stories, you can tell them to your children again." I felt aggrieved. I knew the details, but I couldn't string them together into a story.

?I have also seen that when many people share their feelings about work or life, the content is like chatting. The content itself has great value, but it cannot be expressed clearly.

The difference between masters like Zhuge Liang and ordinary people like us lies in whether their thinking is structured. In our current network information age, the cheapest and most indispensable thing is information. The latest research results show that the information we are exposed to every day is equivalent to 174 newspapers. From such a huge wave of complicated information, how can we not only share knowledge, but also filter and organize the knowledge into a logical knowledge topic?

Structured thinking is a very effective way of thinking. Result thinking ability emphasizes that when we think or express, we must do the summary first, then the details, the framework first, the details first, the important first then the secondary, and the conclusion first before the reasons.

?Thinking itself is a complex way of thinking in the brain, and there are a dazzling array of introduction books on the market. In the early stages of training, you only need to use the three-step method of information reception to develop your thinking foundation. Here's how to use the three-step method to train.

?Step 1: Identify the ideas, reasons, and facts in the message.

We are exposed to a lot of information every day when we listen to people speak, read books and study, etc. Among so much information, what are the main points, and what are the reasons to support the point of view, and what data or facts prove that the point of view or reason is correct. These are the most important parts of the information we receive, not just grabbing the eyebrows and beards, not just recording certain points in the complicated information.

Speaking of this, you may ask again, how to find out opinions, reasons and facts? Congratulations to the friend who asked this question, it means that you have taken a step forward on the road of structured thinking.

Instead of just passively listening, you start to think about your next action. A point of view is a personal subjective opinion on something from a different perspective. For example, everyone wants to have a dinner together at noon, some want to go to a certain restaurant, and some want to order takeout. Reasons themselves are also opinions, explaining why a conclusion is accepted. So how to distinguish opinions and reasons? Use two sentence patterns. To judge whether a sentence represents a conclusion, you can ask a few more whys. To judge the corresponding reasons, you need to ask a few more whys. Asking more why is also a good habit to develop the habit of seeing the essence through the phenomenon. Facts correspond to opinions and are responses to the objective world, not based on human opinions. For example, bats sleep upside down.

Step 2: Find the correspondence between opinions, reasons and facts.

?Whether a large amount of information is input by listening or reading, the author or speaker will use a large number of reasons, examples, and cases to support it, and will also extend it. Once, I was listening to a class where a certain speech teacher tutored Tong Liya to give a starry sky speech. Some people don't know much about the starry sky speech, so the speaker will give a speech under the starry sky, and then extend the speeches of other stars, and may also extend other events or behaviors of the stars. Many people's auditory thinking also goes off topic. After listening, all they have in their minds may be celebrity gossip and forget the subject of study. If the topic point of view and the supporting reasons are clear, no matter how vertically or horizontally the author or speaker asks questions, he can still return to the topic to be focused on.

During one sharing session, I heard a friend talk about how his thinking was like a wild horse running wild when he was reading and thinking, and he kept extending the knowledge points he had seen so far, and in the end he couldn't take them back. She said that she was watching the content of parent-child communication, and when she talked about the incorrect way to respond to the child's concentration, she thought of the case of non-violent communication, and also associated the quarrels between husband and wife. She remembered the last notes as a mess. These are all because the corresponding relationships are not straightened out, causing my thinking to get lost.

Step 3: Summarize the topic in one sentence For an information content, summarizing the topic in one sentence is fundamental.

If the situation requires it, expand the reasons and cases over time. The consulting firm McKinsey has a famous work rule called the "30-second elevator rule", which requires employees to express the main points in one sentence no matter how complex the matter is. Maybe many of us don't need such expressions in our work scenarios, but this method has an immediate effect on training one's structured thinking.

Consciousness itself is difficult to control. It is even harder to abandon the old way of thinking and use new ways. It requires deliberate practice in our daily life.

For example, we often see different slogans everywhere on the streets, one of which is "Don't litter, don't dump domestic sewage, and don't spit." These slogans are so commonplace that we usually just see them and ignore the content. Can we ask why we say this, to protect the environment? Why protect the environment? For better human survival. so what? So we should not do things that pollute the environment? What's going on? How to deal with family life and personal life? In terms of family life, the disposal of household garbage and sewage, and in personal aspects, pay attention to hygiene and do not spit. By asking questions in this way, the ideas will become clearer and clearer, the structured thinking will become clearer and clearer, and the independent thinking ability will become stronger and stronger, and you will no longer follow what others say.

Separating line........................................ ................................................................. ........

After a certain class, I was still thinking about how to organize the knowledge and how much time to spend reviewing the content. Some friends had already thrown it in the group He came up with his own content framework and immediately explained it to us on the spot. When asked why she has such strong learning and action abilities, she said lightly that she was sorting things out while listening to the class. Because of this incident, I suddenly understood the difference between a top student and a poor student. In fact, it is more about the difference in thinking, and the three-step method of structural thinking shared above can get twice the result with half the effort in improving learning.

This article is also my immediate output after learning the relevant content. Having such an ability will not only improve your own learning ability, but also help your children learn correctly.
