Suggestions on strengthening investment.
First of all, we should improve the intensity of investment, that is, read more books, study more and observe more life, so that quantitative changes can produce qualitative changes. For example, read a book every week. As an ordinary person, reading a book a week can be achieved only by arranging 1-2 hours. If you, like me, have the ability to read quickly (trained by "elite fast reading") and can read about 2,000 words a minute (which can be adjusted according to the difficulty of the content), then reading for 20 or 30 minutes a day is enough to finish reading a book in one week.
Secondly, we should improve the input standard, that is, choose good books and articles to read. There are some good books written by good writers in every field. Don't be too casual when choosing books. You can look at reader comments, douban scores, and industry reputation. Avoid wasting time and energy.
Third, we should improve the effect of investment. Reading is not the purpose, but absorption is the purpose. Your reading goal should be to solve a problem, learn a skill and think about a topic by reading this article.
2. Suggestions on cultivating thinking ability.
Many people are not unable to think, but lazy and unaccustomed to thinking. For some people, thinking is not as natural as breathing, and it needs to be "deliberate" to run. Here are some simple suggestions for you. When you read or hear some new ideas, new knowledge or important content: ① Try to make it clear in your own words. If you tell it to others, can others understand it? (2) Think about whether this knowledge is similar to my past knowledge, experience and cases, or the opposite; (3) What problems can this knowledge be used to solve in life and work, how should I use it, and so on. Then write down these ideas.
3. Suggestions on strengthening output.
Writing needs touch, and the generation and maintenance of touch comes from continuous writing. You don't have to write 5000 words or 10000 words every day. You can write shorter words, such as one or two hundred words. It is important to write a little every day.
In the process of writing practice: ① Establish your own writing process. Writing includes many steps, such as setting the theme, drafting the topic, framing, consulting materials, writing the first draft, typesetting, proofreading, polishing and so on. Different people have different writing habits, so you should establish your own process. The purpose of establishing process is to improve efficiency and ensure quality. ② Establish your own feedback system. What you write is good or not, what is good or not, how many people read it, how many people like it, how much they like it, and so on. These are all feedbacks. Only by establishing such a feedback system can you continuously improve your writing level according to the feedback.
