The World of Deities: Chat after the end of Volume 1
I thought I could finish writing at noon, but I found that once the wave got up, I couldn’t stop the rush...
Although I stayed at home for a day, it feels good.
The reason why we have to specially arrange a day off is because the human brain is very interesting. If I write every day, I also write for a month. Whether I write a thousand words a day or 6,000 words a day, as long as I treat it as a working day, Then the brain will think that it has been working and has been tired.
But as long as you give yourself a day off and do nothing a day, your brain will assume that a full day’s rest will relieve your fatigue.
This is why I have to take a day off.
Of course, this is just the basics.
The new definition of a higher level is to be able to completely relax and rest in a short time.
A higher definition is to jump out of the definition of "rest and work" and re-use a better term to make rest and work not conflict. This is simple to say, but difficult to do. I tried it and failed.
Of course, I will continue to try.
Ahem, don't talk about it, storytelling.
Because it is not over yet, there is no way to say too much, only part of it.
One.
The main problem of the first volume is the "balance between the expression of the author and the needs of the reader" that I have been thinking about.
Actually, when I first wrote, I was hesitating.
First of all, it is clear that everything I write in the book does not exceed the scope of writing, that is to say, any writing is allowed.
Mankind creates words and expresses words, not to "must follow a certain pattern." If so, art and culture are dead. Even the novel itself is constantly evolving.
It's just that some are more artistic and some are more reasonable, some are more interesting and some are more boring, some are more ornamental and some are more plain.
I know that some people will hate some of the methods that are constantly appearing in the text, some of the long talks.
As long as it is not a threat, readers have unlimited right to comment.
But I'm not at a conclusion, because I can't think about the problem from a single angle, but simply from two angles.
The first point of view, from the perspective of some readers, the market, and the technique of the novel, the content is too boring and cumbersome, and it has great shortcomings.
Of course, some readers will like it.
The second point of view is that grades and income are important, and appreciation and fun are important, but in some cases, it is more important to express my intentions and the characters in the book in more detail.
I feel that the two angles are not opposite, but there should be few books that can truly blend the two.
Even those world famous books.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is the pursuit of artistry or marketization, there are many things that cannot be said in detail. This makes it difficult for the public to understand even great works of art. It is not understood by the public, does not affect the value, but affects the effect.
Furthermore, a large number of novels in ancient and modern China and abroad have caused disputes due to different interpretations. The sentences are ugly, and the readers simply cannot fully understand the author's intention unless the author directly speaks it out.
However, I want to make it clear, so there are many places in this book that make people feel that it is not artistic enough, not interesting enough, and not worthy of appreciation.
I can't say right or wrong.
If I think it is wrong, it means giving up a direction, giving up the possibility of being better in this direction, or even giving up a future. The road is narrowing, it may be to close oneself.
Nor think it is right. If I think it is right, it will inevitably form a force that hinders my progress and makes me ignore another angle.
Life is a process of trying. I tried it. After finishing and summarizing, I will definitely do better next time.
So, I just define the impact of this way of writing as "feedback."
In my language system and life system, feedback is very neutral, but the effect is positive, because it is very simple, any feedback can make me progress.
Two.
My initial impulse to write this book was to "share", not to "speak".
When I wrote the end of the first volume, when I wrote, "People who lift themselves up high also set aside the distance to fall", I thought about it for a long time.
This sentence is actually not what I want to express mainly. As far as the novel is concerned, it is dispensable, because I have already said enough elsewhere.
However, for me personally, this sentence is very important, and it makes me sweat directly behind my back.
I've been a silly person since I was a kid, and I can even be said to be stupid, yes, stupid.
I also said in my testimonials on the shelves, I feel that my brain has only completed development in the past two years.
Look, I scold myself so much, and didn't protect myself at all, so the above does not say right or wrong, it is not a sophistry (manually squint).
I have always been particularly afraid of others complimenting me too much.
Because I think I am so ordinary, whether it is myself or others, who hold me too high, once I fall, it will be miserable.
So, I recently gave myself a new definition of identity, student.
The previous definition is lifelong learner, I think this old definition is a little bit arrogant.
Many of students in their thirties may find it awkward, but when I gave myself this position, I suddenly felt very relaxed.
In this way, I can ignore other people’s affirmations or denials, and I will not overreact to other people’s accusations and attacks. I will definitely make myself more humble. Anyway, I am a student, what am I afraid of?
Of course, this is my recent definition of identity, and I haven't done it well enough, but it has begun to show results.
So, would a student "preach"? will not.
I really just share.
But what’s even more wonderful is that I originally thought that this book was just my personal sharing, but after constructing a preliminary world, I discovered that the words and deeds of "Su Ye" were beyond my control.
In other words, many places in the book are indeed under my control, but when I write, there are often places that exceed my original expectations.
This world named "World of the Gods" was not built by me alone, but by me and the characters inside, even including readers.
So, it's not me preaching or even sharing, it's the characters in the book who borrowed my hand to express themselves more clearly.
I have never been arrogant enough to feel that I can "educate".
A few days ago, I discussed with an author friend in the author group. The two sides had different opinions. Of course, it was just a discussion, not an argument.
He said that he believes that people cannot be persuaded.
As a result, my first reaction is that I have been persuaded. I am often persuaded by better theories and thinking.
In other words, rather than being persuaded, I have accepted a different perspective.
Because I am still a student, I am very rash, sometimes irritable, often making mistakes, and often impulsive. There are many areas in the book that need improvement. Please forgive me.
Please refrain from threatening tickets or unsubscribing with abandonment in the future, unless of course you are joking.
If you have any dissatisfaction, persuade me, or help me open another angle. (Manually squinting smirk)
Three,
I... Sure enough, I was chatting, talking about everything.
Think about it, forget it, love it.
This is good, not high or low, not afraid of falling.
Four.
Always be vigilant against "expensive" and "inferior", and always guard against "respect" and "inferior".
Five.
Some readers have been asking me to push the book before, and I promised to take this opportunity to talk briefly.
Actually, the books I have read in the past two years are quite mixed. Some books are actually...not very meaningful, or not suitable for anyone.
For example, I read more than 20 books on quick reading skills in a month. Guess what conclusion I finally reached?
"Completely" fast-reading books are of low value, and they are especially prone to the illusion of knowledge that oneself knows, understands, turns out to be the same thing, turns out to be almost the same, and makes one lose the ability to think deeply.
Any valuable book and content requires repeated reading and repeated thinking.
Of course, low value does not mean useless, fast reading is especially suitable for book selection, and it is also especially suitable for lazy people, such as most of the time I (cover my face).
This time I'm pushing the book, I'm still pushing the "self-management system" book that is useful to everyone.
Yes, it's useful for everyone, from children down to a few years old to the elderly.
The self-management system, my perception is that it is divided into four main parts, emotional management, energy management, time management, and knowledge management.
Knowledge management is the most complicated, and it varies from person to person, so I won’t say more about it.
At the beginning, I only attached importance to time management, but it was not until I learned a little judgment method that I realized the importance of emotional management and energy management.
Make a list of what you want to do, what you want to do, and what you should do, and then write down six items: "ability", "motivation", "emotion", "energy", "time" and "method".
Then judge whether each of these six factors affects occasionally or always.
As a result, I was surprised to find that for me, emotions and energy are actually my constant influence factors. No matter what I do, if these two factors have a great influence.
Include rest, including play.
At the time, I listed the table, which was more intuitive, and then I was shocked.
Ability, motivation and method, sometimes affect, sometimes not.
Time is a latitude in a broad sense, and it affects in theory.
So, obviously, emotions, energy, and time are the top priorities.
Actually, these three areas are very difficult. I have been struggling slowly... No, it's climbing. All areas are big pits, but I climbed in three big pits at the same time.
1, energy management.
I didn’t do well in energy management, and I don’t read many books. I mainly recommend a copy of "Energy Management" by "Jim Lowe and Tony Schwartz".
A very popular book that explains all aspects of energy management.
Then there is nutrition, all kinds of fitness, energy management do not need to read too many books, continuous exercise is the most important thing.
For this knowledge, I used to squat down the toilet and read today's headlines, and all kinds of different statements made me mentally ill.
Anyway, body first, energy management is basically physical management. Especially after my tinnitus, I have a deeper understanding.
2, time management.
After years of development, the time management system has a clear context and clear direction, but it often absorbs things from other fields, such as goal management.
Mainly recommend three introductory books.
Workplace-related, or time-involuntary, recommend "Xiaoqiang's Promotion", author Zou Xiaoqiang, the first person in the field of time management in China, has been deeply involved in the field of time management for many years, and is also the highest-rated book in the field of time management. It's easy to understand, just throw all kinds of methods and just follow them.
This book seems useless, I have to do it. In other words, all the books pushed this time are the same.
Freelancers, or self-controlling time or management, recommend "Single-core Working Method Diagram", an artifact, a real artifact. Well, because it suits me very well. This big man is also the author of "An Illustrated Pomodoro Technique", both books are worth reading.
There is also a book "Just Do It", also by Zou Xiaoqiang. It is mainly about making annual plans. There are many specific methods in it. The "habit training card". I have used it for two or three years, and I still use it. .
In addition to these three, there are many other books.
There is also "A Strange Life", which tells the magical experience of the time-recording tycoon Lyubichev, the real big cow, the author is "Granin", and the accompanying guide manual is very important.
I used the method inside to record for half a month, um...um... As a result, I finally saw how confused I was. After reading this book and recording it for half a month, I feel that my life has become clearer.
This book allows you to clearly see how far you are from a good person. The intuitive gap of data is really cool.
Of course, there are also the time management classic "Getting the GTD" and the more famous "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People".
The latter is a book that I particularly admire, but this book... is not a technique, it is close to a kind of "Tao", it feels nothing after reading it, but the more I look at it, the less I know, and it needs to cooperate with "RIA Demolition of Calligraphy" Read it and introduce it later.
Some books in the field of time management or similar fields, such as "Eat the Frog", "Time Investment Act", "Miracle of the Morning Diary", "Procrastination Psychology", etc., are all very good. No matter how much you can search online, there are actually many.
3, emotional management.
This is the biggest pit in the three major areas.
In this field, there are actually many classifications and more complicated systems. Far ahead of the first two, because they are basically neurological and psychological things, it is very tiring to learn and especially difficult to use.
There are too many books in this field, and I am not a professional myself, so I dare not say anything good. I only come up with books that I have read and are "really effective".
First recommend an introductory book "Efficient Anti-stress Action Act" by "Hendley Weisinger" and "JP Poly Frey".
Simplified and easy to understand, many specific methods are mixed with scientific explanations.
If you want to know more about emotional management, I suggest reading two books.
One is "Emotions" and the author is "Lisa Feldman Barrett". It is a very thick book. It is a relatively new research result and proposes an "emotional construction" that completely subverts my old cognition. s".
One is "Change: Principles of Problem Formation and Resolution." After reading the book above, it will be easier to understand by reading this one.
The above three books are mainly based on psychology, supplemented by neurology. It should be regarded as "the most scientific category in emotional management books."
The concept of "definition" in this book is basically born out of these two books.
Of course, it would be better if I could read "Cognitive Psychology" first, but I didn't even read this book. I just read it in the plan, so I won't blow it up, haha.
After reading these three books, it is strongly recommended to take a look at "DK Mindfulness". If you examine ancient meditation from the perspective of neurology and psychology, you will find something particularly interesting.
These books are all deeply impressed by me. There are also some books that have been read quickly, or read notes from other people’s mind maps, or simply listen to books or share. Not recommended anymore.
There are many books of this kind, and you will find them if you search.
By the way, emotional management has a concept that I think is particularly important called "habitual defense", which can be found by searching online. The first time I came into contact with this term was Chengjia's "Study Hard". After reading the related content many times, I encountered many things before I understood the concept. Finally, I kept using it to gradually manage my emotions.
4, finally.
Finally, I solemnly recommend a book "This is enough for reading", a masterpiece by Zhao Zhou. Also recommended before.
What I didn't finish last time is that this book is useless to read. There is a RIA reading method in it, which needs to be used continuously to be useful.
Besides, I can't use it for my own use. I need to enter a book club called "Shushubang" for continuous learning and practice. But this book club tends to...older and hardworking young and middle-aged people, hahahaha...no self-defeating.
Look for it yourself, look for the bookbreaking clubs everywhere. However, this was originally an offline reading club, and now it’s epidemic...So it’s not the right time to learn it by yourself, search it on the Internet, because this is a loose organization, people from different places are suitable for joining in different cities, and some There is no small city, it is impossible to introduce it.
Basically, this is the handbook of the particularly famous "Deliberate Practice".
I...
It's 11 o'clock in the evening, and I am a little confused. It fully proves that my time management and energy management still need to be improved.
In fact, there are a lot of recommendations, but I am really confused, so I won’t say more.
I took a look at the number of words, more than five thousand, plus yesterday’s addition, I don’t seem to be taking a break today, I have a lot of words, it’s miserable...
By the way, in addition to "This is enough reading", I recommend two books for learning and growth.
One is the famous "Deliberate Practice". If there is no relevant knowledge, this book will be read as a story~ IndoMTL.com~ all kinds of counter-intuitive and counter-common sense, it is hard to believe, but if you have the previous emotional management If you read the basic knowledge of the three books, or understand psychology, you will find this book is too amazing.
This book should really be read by every child, knowing how to acquire their abilities since childhood. No, I will buy a few more sets and give them to my nephews, nieces, nieces and nieces...
There is also "The Way of Learning", the author is "Barbara Oakley".
There are still many books, so I won’t talk about it.
In addition, all the books published this time have one thing in common. They must be constantly used to explain their behavior, and they must be used continuously, otherwise they are useless.

This is a forever young student named Lao Huo, sharing books!

Regardless of whether you have read it or not, now that you see it here, those who have a monthly pass will come to order a monthly pass, and those who don’t have a monthly pass will come to order a recommended ticket! ! !
Sleep, good night.
