The philosopher Foucault once said in his book The Technique of the Self, "Through the technique of the ego, we can exert influence on ourselves, change ourselves through small actions, and thus shape new life experiences." ”
So how to "influence yourself"?In his new book "Something Seems Wrong", the manager of "Foolish Boy" **, he made a vivid interpretation for us: carefully observe yourself, and then draw them all.
This book contains 70 "foolish" comic stories, although the book can not achieve the effect of gif**, but the author in a way that everyone likes to see, the chicken and dog fragments in life, what you see and hear are drawn, which can also make people smile.
For example, there is a story about work, but when you read it throughout, it is not a typical symptom of ordinary procrastination.
When the author was faced with the project, although he had made a plan, but when he really sat down, he inexplicably felt that he should have a cup of tea at hand, so he went to boil water.
You can't waste the time waiting for the water to boil, so it's better to brush up on the circle of friends.
It turned out that someone was posting food in the circle of friends, and the gluttony in the stomach was suddenly hooked, so he immediately clicked on the takeaway platform and placed an order.
After the takeaway was delivered, the dog raised at home was attracted by the aroma, which was really cute, so I went out to play with the dog after the meal.
It wasn't until the sun went down that one man and one dog went home exhausted. At this point, the person finally sat down in front of the computer again, but it didn't take long for the author, who was too tired, to sit and fall asleep.
The depiction in the book is very similar to you and me who originally wanted to do something serious, but looked for other things to do everywhere, just didn't start.
In fact, whether it is facing work or other things that must be done, when you want to procrastinate, you should simply procrastinate seriously.
Then record what you thought and thought at the time when you were seriously procrastinating, put the brakes on your inexplicable impatient life, and make life slower.
After that, it will be easier to do the things that you have to do.
Why is this so?The principle is similar to that proposed by Le Canf, a doctor of educational neuroscience at the University of Oxford, who proposed "intermittent notes", which can relax people through the interval effect and memory release, but improve efficiency.
If you don't like to draw as much as the author, you might as well take notes, which can also play a role in making life feel slower.
Note that you don't need to take too many notes at a time, and the recording time is controlled within one or two minutesAnd what you see and think, you can write it down at any time, similar to an essay.
We can borrow from the fool's book "Something Seems to Be Wrong" to record what we are curious about, some new ideas or ideas.
And what triggers your emotions, no matter what it is, chatting, reading a book, or listening to a lecture, write it all down.
The advantage of this kind of recording is that, as the philosopher Foucault said, it is to observe oneself and discover what has been overlooked in the past. I believe that it will not be long before people feel that life will become slower and more fulfilling. Record
