Today, someone in the group asked me how I manage my reading time and how I manage my study and writing time. The answer in the group is not systematic, on the way to sort out my ideas, a complete introduction to my understanding and experience.

Do you want to learn, in jingdong, dangdang bought a book, and then put there to fall ash?

Did you make up your mind to practice your skills in order to get a better job and delete eating Chicken, King pesticide and Douyin, but soon you got Ann back? \

Do you turn off your phone, pick up a book, read less than 3 pages, and then all sorts of things disrupt it, keep reading, disrupt it, and have to give up?

Do you feel anxious and hate your job, but you don’t know what to do so you have to read the headlines over and over again?

Yes, you are all learning against humanity.

What is human nature?

Human nature is complicated.

But after all, there are certain patterns that psychology has long studied clearly. The terms positive feedback, immediate feedback, dopamine, etc., don’t come from nowhere.

Simply put, human nature is constantly in pursuit of the lowest cost, minimum risk and maximum benefit. Such as:

  • Long-term investment to produce uncertain returns, give up!
  • To look and think, but also have to contemplate, some still do not understand, too difficult, give up!
  • Running too tired, out of breath, uncomfortable, give up!
  • I’ve been running for three days and I haven’t lost the scale! Give up!
  • Increase the risk of a certain job by looking for an uncertain one. It’s too risky. Give up!

So you see, this has nothing to do with grit. It’s not that you don’t have the willpower to stick to it, it’s that your decision mechanism decides that these actions are either too slow, too costly, or too risky, so it’s optimized!

That is to say, all the examples mentioned above are against humanity!

What is it like to conform to human nature?

To answer this question, we don’t need to do our own research. The major game companies have eaten all this up, such as: \

  • Click on this to get a weapon. This is easy. Play this!
  • Click two skills can kill a monster can get gold and experience, simple, play this!
  • It’s fun to watch a short video. Watch this!

It’s all about human weakness. Why are games, short videos, so addictive? There are a lot of people who study how to make people addicted. Non-drug addiction! Like this one:

There are four steps to becoming addictive:

1. Trigger a required user scenario; \

2, reduce the obstacles to action, so that people produce the simplest action;

3. Give various incentives to each action;

4. Precipitate your behavior.

You compare it to the addictions, right? Like Tiktok:

  • Trigger – watching short videos for fun;
  • Action — To see Douyin, just slide up;
  • Incentive — just slide and there will be a fun video to watch immediately;
  • Engagement – The more you watch, the more content you’ll be pushed to your liking.

Like games:

  • Trigger – Play games and have fun with friends;
  • Action — it only takes two fingers to play;
  • [Fixed] Incentive – When you hit a monster, you instantly receive gold and xp.
  • Investment – the more monsters you fight, the more experience you have, the more gold you have, and the more equipment you can buy.

So you are addicted to the game, is not lack of perseverance, is not unable to control their own, more is not degenerate! It’s being manipulated by a game company! You’ve fallen into an elaborate trap that keeps you trapped and costing you time and money.

How to adapt to human learning?

Here’s a book to recommend: Think Gamified. It’s a business thinking book, but that’s okay, we’re going to kill people. Borrow the “knife” of human nature, kill the “person” who studies. You don’t even need to finish the book, just remember one sentence:

“The idea of having fun in a planned, directed way is called gamification.”

The key is to have fun in a planned, directed way. So we should put on the wings of happiness to study, not the shackles of restrictions.

In this vein, let’s go back to what we do: force ourselves to stop playing games immediately, force ourselves to read books, even if we can’t, and skip all the fun for boring technical books. Oh, my God, it’s no good. How does our brain accept this kind of learning? So don’t push yourself, don’t set tasks, don’t read boring books, don’t let your brain think it’s too hard, too expensive, too risky. It can be a little bit of a challenge, a little bit of a cost, little risk, or very low risk. In a word: reduce the barriers to learning as much as possible.

So what should we do? Click on the addiction model above

1, scene: go to the bookstore, library reading, lying on the sofa just want to sleep;

2, action: call a book friend, or find a bookstore near your home;

3, Motivation: Read the most profitable books, the kind of fun while reading, or install bility books. Write it down and post it on moments. I’m sure someone will like it. Happy!

4, input: every day fixed point post circle of friends, certain someone will constantly praise you, if not, call me ~~~

This way, you can propel a positive feedback learning flywheel, and time will do the rest. It will pay you well!

As for the original question? If you do that, you’ll have time, trust me! \
