Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
For the Cornell note-taking method I shared yesterday, you may think that the Cornell note-taking method is more suitable for students, not for adults, suitable for learning and memorizing knowledge, and not suitable for the work environment. If you think so, then I would suggest you read this book, which applies the "High Performance Note-taking Method" in multiple contexts.
Reading notes, course notes, plan notes, meeting notes, business notes, review notes, ......Whether you are a contemporary reader, a college student, a part-time worker, or a content creator, you can master the corresponding note-taking method suitable for your function through this book, improve personal efficiency, and improve your own ability.
The underlying thinking of taking good notes is conceptual thinking. Possessing the three abilities of inquiry, definition, and language is a prerequisite for conceptual thinking. To put it simply, not only focus on the surface, know how to discover and ask questions, be good at summarizing, draw your own conclusions, and know how to express and put things in your own words.
Here's a practical note-taking method that is suitable for both work and life: schedule a day and week.
When planning, we can follow the "six-point worklist system + four-quadrant rule" to make a plan.
Collect and list the things that need to be done, organize them into a checklist, and show when and when they will be done.
If there are too many things and too complicated, according to the four-quadrant rule, the things are classified into four areas: "urgent and important", "urgent and unimportant", "important and not urgent", and "not important and not urgent".
Next, filter:
Worthless things, delete them immediately;Valuable things, put on the list, prioritize;There are some things that need to be left to someone else to do;Some things need to be done before the next thing can be done, in this case, it is done in order;Some take a long time and can be followed up as a special project.
When arranging your schedule, make sure that you limit yourself to no more than 6 things to do every day. This is because, if there is too little arrangement, something important but not urgent can never be arranged;If there are too many, you won't be able to finish it.
It's not difficult to take good notes, and if you take good notes, you'll find that a lot of things don't pile up in a mess. When life and work are no longer a mess, you will be able to concentrate and move forward steadily. So if you want to keep growing upward, how can you be bad in your notes?
