Personal assessment
The key to this book is a method of taking notes.
Zero-second thinking means one minute, one page, ten minutes a day and then taking notes every day. From my personal understanding, the effect varies from person to person. Most people can take notes for two or three pages, but I agree with the author’s idea of taking notes in real time.
Inspired thinking
It’s kind of like the introduction to the book, how do you inspire personal deep thinking
Put your feelings into words
When you are in a good mood, try to record your feelings. When you are in a bad mood, observe and record your feelings.
As long as anyone is awake, he will constantly think and have various complex emotions. When he is in a bad mood, turning his mood into words can make his mood better. We can write down some of our inner words on paper or electronic notes, so that our words can talk with ourselves.
Look before you leap
Let’s take a practical example. Here with an example of the past work, for example, companies need a bank, docking and documents through bank by calculating data regularly, suddenly found one day met one time task did not move, but other tasks running, personally think that is a bank data problem over there at first, spend a lot of time thinking and bank connection problems, However, in fact, after careful investigation, it was found that the thread was suspended because the timeout time was not set for the network file reading after downloading. Now it seems that if we started from the root file at that time, we might not waste so much time to investigate. I wasted a lot of time because of my sloppy speculation.
In addition, speaking without thinking easily irritates people, without deep thinking people will be easy to stay on the surface. If you say what comes to mind, there is a high probability that you will say something wrong or your expression will be misunderstood. However, it is also wrong to keep silent and correct, which will not advance your thinking.
Book with large content of shallow thinking described the meeting is a waste of time, and the depth of the truly valuable and meaningful thinking, seize the point and core, rather than seize the surface to solve the problem, such as a system appear problem, often as the fire rescue, unquestioning, no longer a fundamental problem analysis, the result will be constantly repeat, Repeat mistakes one after another.
LingMiao thinking
What is zero second thinking?
Single from literal meaning, LingMiao is don’t need to spend time, instantaneous and instantaneous, whereas LingMiao thinking is don’t need to spend time thinking, according to the understanding of personal reading, is to turn invisible thinking into tangible thinking, simple summarized three word is: take notes (instant off class), but to do this is very not easy thing. But this raises the question, why do we think in zero seconds?
What are the benefits of zero seconds of thinking?
Reduce the burden of thinking
First lighten the burden of their thinking, if compare the human brain to memory, thinking to continue to deal with the information, when memory is unable to load information, our CPU (brain) will obviously downtime waiting, or directly to empty memory directly, and LingMiao think the shortest time of be particular about the thinking, thinking about the content of the fixed for words, Can significantly reduce the burden on our brain.
Subjective to objective
People’s thinking and actions are often subjective. It is easy to take personal feelings into account when looking at things subjectively. If you want to look at things objectively, as the author of this book said, writing on paper can indeed transform the subjective thinking into objective thinking.
Look at the big picture
The content recorded by zero second thinking is usually the inner voice, or the view of people, as well as their own thinking and so on. If these subconscious things are written in words, they can further develop the brain. Like inspiring thinking, the brain will not progress without deliberate exercise.
How to do zero second thinking?
Take 10 pages of notes every day
Don’t freak out, it’s about taking a minute to write each page, and only writing four to six lines of 20 to 30 words per page. This looks a little difficult, the actual experiment is medium difficulty, more practice can be. Here’s a page to show you how to write these notes. Of course, they are written haphazardly, and some of them don’t quite fit the title:
Personal reflections on notes:
- Reading technical books or light reading, where do you waste your time?
- From the technical books above whether the test, at the same time whether they really understand and verify.
- Take the time to practice whether you can actually say what you’ve read in your own words.
- Why does your performance drop off completely once you’ve eaten, and how do you concentrate?
- Find a commonly ignored problem, whether this problem should be categorized and summarized.
Ask questions to answer questions
From the 10 pages of notes, we can see that the content of the notes is actually constantly asking yourself questions, breaking down big problems into smaller ones, and then thinking about how to solve them step by step.
Take notes electronically
The book advocates the use of paper notes, I personally do not recommend paper notes, not only inconvenient to search, but also very troublesome to keep. If you are worried about the loss of electronic notes, then it is necessary to develop a good habit of backup.
Specific cases
Here is a direct screenshot of the example given in the book. Whether it is also useful depends on how you view it:
What do I think of zero-second thinking?
Is high-speed note-taking effective?
Does high-speed note-taking really work? After personal experience, I found it still works. Writing down key content in a short time does help my reading ability to some extent, but the practice of ten pages a day with the author is really quite ridiculous.
Why four to six?
The author’s understanding is that 4 to 6 items are the level that most people can do. Personally, if you often use the keyboard, you can type blindly, so it is probably not stressful. But if you can’t type blindly, it is definitely difficult to finish the 4 to 6 items in 1 minute.
If you want to learn the author’s method, the best way is to start with just one sentence, and write the most important sentence every day on your personal notes, and then slowly increase.
Does it have to be 10 pages?
This is a concept I can’t understand the most, why must 10 pages of content, if a page is 4, then 10 pages is 40, must 40 pieces of content, I recommend the way of big classification set small classification.
Write a mood journal:
I think it is most appropriate to turn the author’s zero second thoughts into a mood diary or todo list, because it is also important to write down the key content of every day. Here is a reference case, I used the software of time sequence to record my mood diary every day (it is said to be worried about it at the end) :
conclusion
What is important is not the process of thinking, but the result of thinking as soon as possible, and constantly optimize and summarize. This is my understanding of zero-second thinking.
Here’s a recap of what this article said:
- Before looking at the specific concept of zero-second thinking, we discussed some characteristics of human thinking and suggestions for thinking
- What is zero second thinking and what exactly does zero second thinking consist of
- How I see and apply this zero-second thinking.
Write in the last
Compared to this high-speed note-taking method, it is quite easy to finish reading notes in an hour after reading it.
