首先我很鄙視這個(gè)書名,因?yàn)樽髡咴诮Y(jié)尾自己說了不喜歡 Study 這個(gè)單詞眠屎,但是(出版社)卻用這個(gè)來命名該書剔交,估計(jì)是銷售的手段。
剛剛我用一個(gè)小時(shí)讀完了這本280頁(手機(jī)屏幕)的書改衩,其實(shí)讀書的時(shí)間占用了我本該寫作業(yè)的30分鐘岖常,但是我現(xiàn)在不怕了(寫博客占用了更多的寫作業(yè)的時(shí)間)。因?yàn)槲抑雷鳂I(yè)該怎么寫葫督,然后我覺得我能把作業(yè)在今天和明天寫完竭鞍。
我有一個(gè)很好的女朋友,因?yàn)槲也粌H在抱著她的時(shí)候很幸福橄镜,而且她還會(huì)督促我學(xué)習(xí)并分析我的行為(泄欲方面)偎快。 她還會(huì)認(rèn)真聽我講東西,并且給我真實(shí)的反饋洽胶。雖然我承認(rèn)我講課的水平很高晒夹,可是在理解一些新東西時(shí)還免不了跳出常人的認(rèn)知范疇(她就是在這個(gè)時(shí)候發(fā)揮作用的)。
如果你問我“這不是一篇讀后感么姊氓?為什么跑題了惋戏?” 這事要講一個(gè)小插曲:
剛剛我在看書的時(shí)候,看到圖像記憶的哪一張他膳,采用了錨釘?shù)膱D像記憶(就是想象一個(gè)錨插在了書上),然后翻到下一頁時(shí)绒窑,作者給出了一個(gè)大錘子的圖片棕孙。我就笑尿了。 之后我又想到昨天晚上熊君關(guān)于“學(xué)霸”的定義:
學(xué)霸就是會(huì)自己說笑話然后自己呵呵樂的人
頓時(shí)我就覺得些膨,不懂得知識(shí)的樂趣的人蟀俊,是頓然無法成為“學(xué)霸”的。(注意這里有一個(gè)顯性的陷阱订雾,就是學(xué)霸的學(xué)到底是什么肢预?)
言歸正傳,作者在書中不稱自己學(xué)習(xí)了洼哎,而是自我教育烫映。在下很慶幸的是沼本,小的時(shí)候自我教育了“右腦記憶”,“圖像閱讀”锭沟,“聯(lián)想記憶” 這些最終未能堅(jiān)持成功的 SB 方法抽兆。(難道他們現(xiàn)在不火了嗎?)楊 在本書中提倡的是整體記憶族淮,與之前的《采銅自選集》多有相似之處”韬欤現(xiàn)簡(jiǎn)述我的摘要,以備日后回顧:
The sequence of holistic learning is:
- Acquire 要菜單
- Understand 看菜譜
- Explore 詢問菜式是否按照自己推測(cè)的方法做的
- Debug 服務(wù)員糾正你的說法
- Apply 點(diǎn)完菜開始吃
- Test 不好吃下次不點(diǎn)了
理解階段
The Understand Phase, is where most people stop and smart people go beyond. Simply reaching this phase shows that you have linked the information enough so you can understand the context. The formula isn’t just random squiggles and letters.
Unfortunately, it isn’t much more. You might not be able to determine how the formula was derived, how it relates to other formulas or how it can be applied to problems outside what you’ve been taught.
Despite the limitations of stopping at this phase, it is the most critical. Unless you can acquire and understand the surface of information, you have no chance of building depth.
拓展階段
(突然想起來有個(gè)詞叫做—— 戰(zhàn)拖)
A holistic learner would take the formula I mentioned in the last phase, and explore it. Where does it come from? What do the different components of the formula represent? What elements of the formula can be altered and how does that change results? What other formulas are similar to this in function or form?
Answering these questions may take a bit of time if you aren’t used to them. But once you make these methods a habit, exploration will naturally take over. Understanding won’t be enough because curiosity will drive you to connect it to new material.
There are three major ways you can explore ideas: depth, lateral and vertical exploration.
橫向拓展 (Lateral)
Information doesn’t stand alone. What formulas are similar to this one in function or design? What other discoveries were made at the same time, by the same person or in the same field? What other facts surround this one?
比如有一個(gè)人有一萬個(gè)女朋友祝辣,從其中一個(gè)女朋友的類型來研究這個(gè)人的喜歡類型就是橫向的(在下個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介贴妻,例子純屬虛構(gòu),如果有雷同蝙斜,純屬巧合)
縱向拓展 (Vertical)
Information follows patterns, those patterns can be found in other information. Can I compare this formula to a natural event, like water flowing or driving a car? How does this discovery relate to a completely different historical event? How is this idea similar to completely different ideas.
Vertical exploration is the most difficult, but also the most creative way to learn. But, if used properly, it can be done with greater speed than the background research
required in depth exploration. Vertical exploration is the biggest subject of the techniques in this book as methods such as metaphor and visceralization work well within vertical exploration.
還是一萬個(gè)女朋友名惩,把他喜歡的女生的類型套到一萬個(gè)參考對(duì)象中,來求證成功的方法叫做縱向的探索乍炉。
理解的弱點(diǎn)
Poor understanding tends to be shown when:
- You’re reading but have no idea what the author is talking about.
- Your notes (which are perfectly legible) don’t make any sense to you.
Getting to the surface understanding can’t be done through magic. My suggestion, if this is your stumbling block, is to seek as many well-written explanations as possible. Advanced techniques such as metaphor or visceralization can only work if the foundation of understanding is already there.
Even if you feel you can’t understand your subjects, I’ve found that this is rarely the main problem. Usually most people can understand the basics of an idea. It is the cross application and linking required to remember ideas that most people stumble on.
When you don’t understand, slow down and ask for different explanations. Often I’m struck by a new idea for awhile before I can fully understand it. The power I’ve made is being able to take the understanding, once formed, and rapidly grow that idea so that I can use it easily.
學(xué)習(xí)的目的 (Goals for Learning)
Up until this point I’ve assumed your goal is to learn information completely enough to pass almost any test in a subject. But just passing tests and getting good grades isn’t enough. Why do you actually want to learn this material? What usefulness can it have in your life?
Ironically, people who ask themselves questions like those are more likely to get better grades than the people who just want to pass with an A. Since they have a motivation to go beyond what is necessary to pass, they will understand the information more deeply than students who do not.
Does your learning have a purpose? I don’t care much about grades. I strive to do well in my courses, but the difference between a B+ and A+ doesn’t really bother me. What I do care about is having the asset of knowledge. Investing in learning can create tremendous rewards in your life if you actually use the concepts you’re spending so much time learning. Learning without a practical purpose is a waste of your time.
高效能學(xué)霸之路
Here are the key ideas for becoming more productive as a student:
- Energy Management (論適量運(yùn)動(dòng)的重要性)
- Batch (看成碧池的拖出去)
- Don’t “Study” (論黨的先進(jìn)性教育)
- Get Organized (論收拾桌子的重要性)
- End Procrastination (戰(zhàn)拖)
PS:為啥最近我總能想到魯迅先生的“兩棵棗樹”其實(shí)內(nèi)涵了轉(zhuǎn)移視角讓用戶腦補(bǔ)的意圖呢绢片?
Recap of Major Concepts
作者在后面很貼心的做了總結(jié),我建議所有寫該類書籍的人都一概如此這般你是鬧哪樣暗呵怼底循!
At over 200 pages, this book has covered a lot of material. This recap of all the material can serve as a reference if you want to review any ideas or refresh your understanding.
Holistic learning is a strategy based on weaving information into webs, instead of bludgeoning yourself with rote-memorization.
The foundation of this strategy is:
- Constructs - The sum total of all connections that represent your knowledge about a subject. These are the cities of your mind.
- Models - Compact units of information that form the seeds of constructs. These are metaphors, visceralizations and diagrams. Models are the major intersections in the roadmap of your constructs.
- Highways - Connections between different constructs. These aid in creative thinking. “Thinking outside the box” perfectly describes the act of thinking beyond the current constructs you have.
Holistic learning works in a sequence of five steps.
These steps aren’t always followed one-by- one, but this is the path they usually take:
- Acquire - Receiving information through your senses.
- Understand - Get the surface of information.
- Explore - Connect that basic idea to others. Exploration works in three main ways:
a) Depth Exploration - Exploring the background of an idea.
b) Lateral Exploration - Exploring associated ideas.
c) Vertical Exploration - Exploring the idea as it relates to different constructs. - Debug - Prune away false connections.
- Apply - Take an idea and give it meaning beyond immediate uses.
There are five major types of information:
Information is similar to digestion. The process is the same regardless of what you ingest. But the inputs can be very different. Taking into account different information types can help you plan your learning efforts.
- Arbitrary - Facts, dates, lists, rules and sequences. They have little logical grouping or depth.
- Opinion - Information gathered for the sole purpose of supporting or defeating your argument. Volume is important here, rather than being able to memorize.
- Process - Information in the form of skills. Requires practice, but is easier to remember.
- Concrete - Ideas that are easy to visualize. These are often practical ideas that are easy to experience.
- Abstract - Ideas that are difficult to experience. Math, philosophy and physics are some of the most abstract fields.
Summary of Techniques
Speed Reading
- Use a pointer.
- Practice read.
- Use active reading to improve learning while reading.
Flow-Based Note Taking
- Don’t write notes in a rigid hierarchy.
- Create associations between briefly written ideas.
Metaphor
Look for a story, image or process that mirrors what you are studying.
Visceralization
- Create a mental image of what you are studying.
- Add other sensations and emotions to this image.
- Look for ways the image does not apply or does not fully cover the subject to prevent errors later.
Diagramming
Create flow, concept or picture diagrams to link together several ideas onto the same source.
Link Method
- Create a sequence of symbols that are easy to visualize.
- Create “l(fā)inks” between each item by visualizing a bizarre scene that combines the two. 3) Create a link between the first sequence item and a trigger.
Peg Method
Same as link method except you link each idea to a list of 0-12 rhyming symbols you can recall easily.
Information Compression
Three main forms:
- Mnemonics - Using words to compress several ideas into a single idea.
- Picture Compression - Create a picture that links several ideas under a single theme.
- Notes Compression - Rewrite a vast quantity of notes onto just a few pages.
Practical Usage
Look for ways to apply the idea in your daily life.
Model Debugging
Practice questions in your subject regularly and look for potential errors in your holistic web.
Project-Based Learning
Set up projects of 1-3 months that will force you to learn new concepts. This is a useful exercise for self-education, where there is less structure to guide you.
The Productive Student
- Manage Your Energy
Stay in shape, eat healthy and don’t work without sleep. - Schedule a day off each week. - Don’t “Study”
- Nuke Procrastination
Set up a Weekly and Daily Goals list to keep focused. - Batch smaller tasks into groups.
- Be organized.
Keep a calendar, to-do list and carry a notepad with you at all times.
Self-Education
Self-education can be cheap, fast and rewarding but it also has challenges. Namely, it has less structure and is more difficult than formal education. The main ways you can improve your ability to teach yourself are:
- Improve your habits
- Overcome the frustration barrier 3) Set learning goals to track progress.
