"I will set myself rewards for completing tasks every week and completing tasks over time. These rewards will give me motivation."
"Teacher, don't you need a vacation or rest?" The students were very curious about this.
"I have rest. Rest is as indispensable to the brain as vitamins are to the body. If I am deprived of rest time, my mind will be tortured. It is too painful." She said, "Just rest is not
It doesn’t have to be during the holidays, and it doesn’t have to be about pampering yourself and doing something.”
"I feel that I can switch from a distracted state to a focused state at will. Teacher, you said not to play with mobile phones or surf the Internet. These will affect our concentration. I don't think I am like this." Some students refuted Ning Youguang.
point of view, "I'm the kind of person who can learn immediately when I put down my phone."
"Are you sure you can really do it?" Ning Youguang said with a smile, "According to scientific research, once the human brain adapts to distraction, it will become obsessed with it. Even when you want to focus later, it will be difficult.
Get rid of this habit. This is a reality. Therefore, we need some strategies to help us reprogram our brains to make its structure more suitable for long-term focus. And what I am sharing with you now does not only refer to how to focus.
, is how to learn deeply and work deeply, which is a state that requires more concentration than concentration."
The students in the audience were lost in thought.
Ning Youguang added, "When I go to the cafeteria to eat, I often see students queuing up and waiting to get their meals. They all need to play with their mobile phones to pass the time. Then their brains may have been reprogrammed from some kind of
To a certain extent, this is a 'mental disability'. People who are accustomed to this mode will find it difficult for their brains to be capable of deep work and deep learning, even if they often arrange time to train their ability to focus."
"So, I am disabled..."
"Is it so scary?"
"I just realized that I am a mentally disabled person."
"I learned, mentally disabled."
The students were shocked and frightened.
"Realizing a problem is the beginning of solving it, so don't be too nervous." Ning Youguang smiled, "I think we modern people should learn from Thoreau and let ourselves lose contact in this universally connected world.
A while."
"Teacher, have you studied Thoreau?"
"Yes." Ning Youguang said, "I go to Tibet for retreat once a year. The retreat time happens to be the time for me to think deeply. In this process, I can replenish energy for my brain very well.
There was no Internet in the place where I retreated. I went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening and woke up at four thirty in the morning. During those ten days or so, I felt that I had regained some quiet things in my life. It was a very magical experience.
.”
"We don't have such conditions."
"What do you mean by retreat?"
"There are many ways to temporarily escape the hustle and bustle. For example, there are some friends around me. Some of them give out one or two months a year, some give out one or two weeks a year, and some people give out one or two a day.
Spend time alone with yourself when you are young. Friends who have had these experiences reported to me that this will give their brains a good rest."
Ning Youguang not only shared his own experiences with his classmates, but also shared the experiences of his friends, in order to help everyone better absorb and act on light.
"The Sabbath in the Hebrew Bible is for people to take a period of silence and reflection to thank God and His gifts. Some groups I know have set up an online Sabbath for themselves in order to let themselves understand
I think this 'Internet Sabbath' is great for what you lose when you're glued to a screen."
"Okay, I understand. The teacher thinks that we are all Internet addicted teenagers and we should quit our Internet addiction."
Some students Pi Shi joked with Ning Youguang.
Ning Youguang said, "You are not the only ones suffering from Internet addiction. Look around, how many people around you do not have Internet addiction?"
"Strangely balanced."
"I feel like there's nothing wrong with me, but there seems to be something wrong with me again."
Ning Youguang smiled, "In addition to getting rid of the problem of constant distraction and gaining enough motivation, I can also instantly change my scattered work life and become more focused."
"Teacher, have you reached the point where you can start working deeply at any time?" a classmate asked.
"Not yet." Ning Youguang said with a smile, "While writing this book published this year, I found that my efficiency in the dormitory and office became less efficient for a month or two, so I looked for a famous hotel in the mountains online to plan.
I went to stay for two nights on the weekend to relax. After I went to that famous hotel, I found that the famous hotel was very beautiful, so I decided to go there every weekend. In fact, when I went there for the first time, I didn’t want to stay there all the time.
There, but I finished my writing very smoothly that day, so when the weekend came, I would book this hotel, and nearly one-third of my chapters were completed here.”
"So, teacher, what you are saying is that if you find that you are not in a state of deep work and study, you should temporarily put down what you are doing and go to rest and relax, right?"
"Is this what teacher you told us before about learning to leave blank space for yourself?"
"Yes." Ning Youguang nodded, "This is the view of the Dutch psychologist Ep' Dixtechius and his team. They suggest that if people are unable to make a decision for the time being, it is best to leave their unconscious mind to it.
To solve, in other words, sometimes the results of our active and deliberate thinking may not be as good as unconscious thinking. Then it is better to move to other things after understanding the relevant information and let the subconscious mind think about these things. In layman's terms, if you are
When studying or working, if you find that you can't get into the state, you can leave for a while, go out to enjoy the wind, bask in the sun, and enjoy flowers... Even if you simply go out to breathe fresh air and change your state, it will be helpful.
It’s better than forcing yourself to do it.”
There are also students who are very unfocused.
"Teacher, is that famous hotel expensive?"
"I think the price of a five-star hotel is a bit expensive." Ning Youguang had a pained expression on his face, "So every time I go there, I don't want to waste my hard work."
"It's a big deal." The students laughed, "It's okay for a day or two, but going every weekend will cost a lot of money."
"Just because it's a bit extravagant, I should improve my work efficiency and try to make money back." This is the first time that Ning Youguang has talked about the issue of money so frankly with his classmates.
The students were all very excited.
They suddenly had a feeling - "Fairies are just like ordinary people. There is no difference. They all have to make a living."
Although Ning Youguang usually teaches and works every day.
But because her appearance and temperament were so magical, they couldn't think of the fireworks in the world when they saw her, and they always felt that money was something they couldn't talk to her about.
There is a wall between fairies and mortals.
After talking about it like this today, they suddenly discovered, "Oh, it turns out that fairies will feel distressed when they go to famous places with higher prices, and they will also feel a bit extravagant and dare not waste it. They want to work hard to make money. This kind of mentality is different from theirs.
There’s no difference…”
how to say.
When the students in the audience noticed this and came to see Ning Youguang, they did not feel that the fairy was no longer fairy at all. Instead, they felt that the fairy was more down-to-earth...
"Why is it so cute?" Some people were still thinking secretly.
Soon, a classmate continued to ask, "Teacher, have you made back all the money you spent on staying in famous hotels for writing?"
This kind of problem——
There is no need for Ning Youguang to answer, the students can answer it for her.
“I’ve definitely made my money back!”
"It's not like you don't know how well the teacher's books sell."
"That is, the emerging writers who are at the top of bestseller lists on major online sales platforms."
"I've definitely made enough."
Ning Youguang smiled and said nothing, letting them laugh and laugh.
Until, several students asked:
"Teacher, you are so popular now, why don't you open a real-name Weibo?"
"Yes, I searched several times but couldn't find the teacher."
"Teacher, teacher, do you have an anonymous vest? Hurry up and authenticate yourself with your real name. We will all follow you."
——They are all a group of classmates who secretly searched for Ning Youguang's vest on the Internet.
Ning Youguang lied without blinking, "Sorry, I don't use Weibo."
"ah?"
"He is indeed someone who learned from Thoreau."
"Fairies are so unique."
…
It's exactly what she said.
This year.
Ning Youguang cut off a lot of superficial work and focused all his energy on the extremely important goals that needed to be implemented.
She also changed some of her previous behavior styles.
Except for letting Shi Wangyue support her to live alone.
Another big change in her is——
She chooses to plan her daily Internet use time in advance.
Avoid using the internet entirely outside of these times.
She found some gadgets to help her record the time she spent using the Internet, and trained herself not to touch anything related to the Internet outside of this time, no matter what temptation she faced.
“Only deep work can create something of value to the world.”
Once, she and Academician Yu also discussed this matter.
Academician Yu said with a smile, "You are right, especially us scientific researchers, but I firmly believe that completing such work also requires regular relaxation of the brain."
"I'm relaxed." Ning Youguang smiled.
"That's not enough. What I want is for you to take a vacation, go out and relax, and spend some time with your children. He has sacrificed a lot to support you this year. Don't keep worrying about your own things.
People." Academician Yu shook his head slowly, "It just so happens that our project has come to an end recently. I have nothing to do without you, so you should take a good rest." 1314
