How to Take Notes Reading Notes

Taking notes is a good way for an ordinary person to grow, and this book allows ordinary people to learn how to use notes to strengthen their future selves. The so-called reinforcement of oneself means that when you encounter problems or difficulties one day in the future, you can use the notes and knowledge/thinking we have recorded to at least quickly help you avoid detours or even solve it. To put it bluntly, use the notes you take now to solve problems you encounter in the future and make yourself stronger!

1. Application: How to use notes to support your future self

Giving ideas: as a source of ideas, constantly thinking and supplementing, and improving ideas

Application output: Determine the theme based on ideas, concatenate, rewrite, and expand

Give clues: Accumulate materials and use unified tags to classify them

Application output: retrieve clues based on classification labels, think about them and then output

Provide basis: record data and facts to provide support for actions and decisions

Application output: When outputting in a certain field, select the factual basis in the notes

2. Recording: How to take notes and do a good job in information preprocessing

Take notes in your own words

Theory: Necessary Difficulty Theory

There is a certain degree of difficulty in storage, but the easier it is to extract knowledge

Using your own words to organize what you have learned and seen will help you internalize your understanding and make it more impressive in your brain.

Organizing in your own words will force you to think first, write down as much as you think, and slowly improve and add in the future.

Some excerpted notes can be supplemented to reflect on why you record them? How to use it in the future? What are your thoughts

What notes should you take in your own words?

Record your thoughts (inspiration, useful information, good things in life)

Record your momentary inspiration—Inspiration Notes (to avoid fleeting inspiration)

Can bring creative ideas and solutions or a new perspective on things

Record very useful information - information that is very specific and can be used in the short term

It can actually help us solve problems and is a positive investment in ourselves.

Record the good things in life—success diary, gratitude diary, etc.

Psychology to help you get out of your emotional slump

Record content that inspires you

Don't record for the sake of recording. Form, tools, format, etc. are not important. What is important is what you are inspired by.

Don't just excerpt and underline some words that you "agree with", but ask yourself questions while recording.

For example: Where can it be used? Have I ever seen/done anything similar?

Record counter-intuitive information

Explanation: Things that go against our intuitive understanding

For example: Note-taking software intuitively thinks that it is an app with powerful functions developed and designed for people with a habit of taking notes, but flomo instead pays more attention to the needs of most entry-level users.

a thought

Multiple thinking models are not used to prove that opportunities are valid, but to falsify them.

For example: If you have an idea at work, you need to examine the idea from various aspects such as cost, demand, technology, compliance, etc.

How to Uncover Counterintuitive Information

Reverse Thinking

Dig, investigate, and think with curiosity

Maintaining two completely opposite concepts at the same time and still acting correctly is a sign of first-rate wisdom.

Record the things that make you emotional

Helps us to understand ourselves more keenly and be aware of ourselves

Good for your own emotional health

Enhance rational decision-making skills

Recording emotions is like recording data. You can debug your own state based on the records just like a programmer.

How to record emotions - to facilitate review and debugging, and to take actions that make you feel better

Labels of good or bad mood for the day (high, high, low)

Brief actions of the day

Record the causes of mood swings

Key points in recording emotions: record truly and honestly and record the scene and environment in which the emotion occurs

Record your own practical experience

Why record practical experience?

Theoretical study and practice can lead to faster progress, and practical experience is an indispensable basis for solving practical problems.

Recording practical experience provides a basis for review and progress, and the speed and efficiency of growth will be very high.

How to remember practical experience

Record truthfully to combat cognitive dissonance and record reviews accurately and objectively

explain

Cognitive dissonance - the brain's protective mechanism. Two cognitions conflict with each other. Intrinsic motivation to give up or change a certain cognition to make one's own cognition consistent.

Example: You know you are smart but you do something stupid, so you will make excuses for your stupid decision.

Record the process and results of major decisions in as much detail as possible

It is more convenient to review, continuously iterate your own thinking model, and improve your core competitiveness.

Refining core content

Can help you better access the content of your notes

Because it’s core and short enough

A repeater that can exercise decision-making and thinking skills, rather than the author’s point of view

How to refine core content

First understand the catalog and structure of a book. You can switch between micro and macro at any time to avoid paying too much attention to the details of the content and recording trivial and complicated records.

Repeated deletions to reduce redundancy

This will make the purpose of your recording clearer, and your thinking will become more in-depth as you delete.

Organize repeatedly to avoid bloat

Eliminate duplicate information

Notes from the same core

Regularly summarize notes of the same type, subjects, and ideas.

You can use the deep note-taking software flowus

After a period of accumulation, the causal notes can be organized into one, and the connections and relationships between them can be recorded.

You can use the deep note-taking software flowus

Categorize notes with tags

Benefits of using tags to classify

Convenient and quick call to extract all notes under a certain category

a thought

However, it is still a bit inefficient to extract fragmented notes during use. It is best to organize them regularly into a more systematic and complete structure.

Tags can achieve network classification, not just hierarchical classification, improving the efficiency of extracting notes.

You can record the content first and re-type or add tags later.

Since much of the knowledge currently output is not in a single subject, the same content can often be used in multiple fields.

Principles of labeling and classification: way of thinking, preferences, convenience in extraction

The author’s personal habits: the four major labels complement each other

There are priorities. The project is about practical thinking, execution and review. The answers to the questions in the project can be found in the field and interest.

Projects can also be refined into fields and interests, interests and fields can also be transformed, and the content of the inbox will be organized under the other three labels.

inbox: Inbox, "cache", content that has not been classified yet, will be processed and classified in the future

area: your own work, determined to be constantly improving and valuable field classification (North Star)

Project: something with a clear start and end time, such as a project at work, such as job application, etc.

resource: interest, but can also be converted into domain resources

a thought

I rarely record work-related projects at the moment, but I can try in the future, so I mostly record them in books while reading, and then classify them into fields and resources later.

Interests can be some life interests (fitness, clothing, travel)

light’s personal habits

internal strength mind method

It requires long-term investment of energy and cultivation, and it requires deep internalization, understanding and output.

Moves and routines

Materials, basis, etc. that are convenient for indexing will not be specially internalized, as long as they are easy to find when extracting.

Experience

The above two labels are theory, and practical experience is also a very important input that can optimize decision-making.

a thought

In fact, there can be sub-tags in fields and interests, which can be classified into parts that require in-depth understanding of the output and material tools that are only used as indexes.

For example: My thinking in the field/operation needs to be internalized, and some of the ready-made model tools that can be used are tricks and routines.

Subjective label classification that can reinforce your own is very important

Then try to do more subjective classifications. Don't worry, as input accumulates, the classification system will slowly grow.

Some tag classification suggestions

Combine it with your own needs, learn from it first and then transform it.

Find out the "logic" of classification through reference

The most important thing is to consider your own needs when transforming

Avoid more and more records and confusing labels

Set label instructions, dynamic growth, and continuous iteration

Set the buffer, record first, then label and organize (inbox)

Organize and maintain the knowledge network regularly

Delete and merge regularly, delete unnecessary ones that you don’t want to read, and merge the same categories

After careful consideration, you can add multiple tags to the same content.

Find the connection between tags, connect the dots to form a line, accumulate, organize, and connect a memo into a complete output/a complete issue

Continuous stimulation through review

Why you need to review

Fight against the forgetting curve, assist in remembering past notes, and recall them in time in the application

Promote the internalization of knowledge, in-depth understanding, and transform it into your own knowledge

The knowledge structure will be continuously optimized, from recording to internalization to practice to innovation.

Knowledge links increase and new knowledge is constantly developed. From knowledge points to networks, the same knowledge can be considered and verified from multiple angles.

Influence reality and truly solve real problems, such as principles and information that you agree with, constantly remind yourself to help solve real problems

On the perceptual level, talk to your past self and understand yourself

How to achieve better retrospectives

Regular and sustained investment of time

Review every time you record, daily/next day review, weekly/monthly review

Think synchronously in retrospect

This note is related to something that happened recently

Do I have any thoughts or practical experiences that I would like to add to this note?

Supplement in-depth thinking and multiple perspectives

This note is related to that other note

Association, building knowledge network

Keep interacting with your notes (interact some and then interact again, don’t organize them just for the sake of organization)

Add: add tags or thoughts

Delete: content that has been stored for too long, excerpts of famous quotes, and one-time process content (memo style)

Rewrite: Rethink, deeply internalize, and rewrite into your own knowledge

3. Collection: How to filter and obtain high-quality information

Examine your relationship with information

Avoid information addiction

Connect with Podcast Mobile Brain Knowledge

Breaking the information cocoon

It’s not that you can avoid it once you understand it, but you need to maintain a high degree of awareness.

The information cocoon has a great impact. We need to be aware of it, think reversely, demonstrate, and then draw conclusions.

Three principles for taking the initiative in obtaining information

You don’t have to be an all-around expert. Choose one or a few major areas to improve. Don’t pursue omnipotence and omniscience, but pursue depth.

Use specific issues as a guide to collect and accumulate information

The more specific the question, the clearer the idea of collecting information.

Example: At this stage, I want to explore the meaning of work and what kind of work is meaningful.

Actively monitor and remain skeptical

Don’t blindly believe in a point of view, but think about the complete logic and applicable scenarios.

Three Tips: On Obtaining High-Quality Information

Make subtractions and reduce information sources

The most precious thing at the moment is attention, focus on valuable information

Cut down on information sources that exploit your emotions: such as clickbait marketing accounts and the like

Cut down on information sources that make you too comfortable: information is in your comfort zone and there will be inertia. Comfort means no new knowledge or inspiration.

Cut back on information sources that lack concrete facts: overly subjective opinions that don’t incorporate long-term practice

Make additions and increase high-quality information sources other than books

Use others as information sources, listen to what practitioners have to say, and tell them about your areas of expertise so as to become an important source of information for them.

Focus on listening to the details in the process

Focus on listening to review failed experiences

You can follow my own articles or interviews, not third-party narratives

The author recommends: Organize your follow-up list, put their social networking sites, information, articles, etc. into it, and study regularly

Use yourself as a method and practice it (Xiang Biao's book)

Go to the scene to observe

Invest time, invest money, practice it yourself

For details, please refer to: "Take Yourself as a Method" Reading Notes

Do multiplication, look at information from multiple perspectives, and learn to switch perspectives

Examine concepts

Look down and dig out the true concept definitions and hidden information in the surface words.

is the cornerstone of effective thinking

That’s why we have: “alignment” and “consensus” at work

Looking for paradigms

Look upward, looking for abstract methodologies and commonalities

Can the commonalities of methods in one field or one project be used in other projects or fields?

Follow the clues

look around

Example

Reference books for reading a book, mention of the author

A person interviewed for an article and the person’s relevant writings

4. Mental Dharma Chapter: Put me first and continue

I am the master: Man is the measure of all things, I am the measure of all my knowledge

What knowledge is accumulated? Idea Purpose - To enhance the knowledge of your future self

First of all, I need to clarify what my purpose, real needs and problems are.

My purpose is to improve in the areas I am good at, study the world and human beings, and gain self-worth and achievement through output

Examine knowledge and see what should be learned

Again, don’t worry about breadth but focus on depth. Human time and energy are limited.

Don’t be a beggar who studies long-termism. It is very important to solve real needs and problems first.

Although ideals are broad and romantic, reality deeply affects your most basic and natural needs. Both are indispensable.

Only by learning and accumulating according to your own needs and problems can you have more opportunities to practice.

Only then will knowledge have the opportunity to be truly used by me and gain a deeper understanding.

The unity of knowledge and action is actually better understood as the unity of action and knowledge.

Build your own question machine

Good questions will guide us to continue to explore answers (North Star) and push us to continue to learn and move forward.

The question I currently want to explore is

What is the meaning of work? How do we work in this era?

How do humans and societies function? How are our behaviors and thoughts formed? why formed

Continuously: know the method, have thinking, and the most important thing is persistence

Value—Methods and tools may be important, but continuous repetition is the most important thing

Continuously accumulate, record and output in a field

Don’t accumulate frequently and extensively

For example: creator operation/user operation/ip operation incubation. This is actually the field that I have been doing and want to do in the future.

Methods—Build a Continuous System

How to design this system

Control subjective wishes and maintain enthusiasm

Set an upper limit so that your desires are not easily satisfied

Design goals in the worst possible state

Don’t set a goal of reading a few books, but no more than a few books

Move forward in several directions and flexibly switch focus

Avoid difficulties and putting eggs in one basket

Design objective environments because willpower is limited

Break up something that is difficult to stick to and let yourself take on different roles at different times or give yourself a healthy motivation

Example

When you don’t force yourself to read, you should open the flomo record at any time. First, reduce the production cost and mark it in WeChat Reading.

Sharing in time while reading and forming a complete output after reading is also a positive motivation.

Similar to the operation method, long-termism is hard to come by, and short-term value is also very important.

Manage time based on values – who you want to be

The concept of time blocks in "Addicted" is similar to DingTalk Calendar and Apple, and is theoretically more effective than to-do
