Super top students: the most efficient learning method for top students

Chapter 17 Single-minded, focus on learning (1)
We need the spirit of "Ampere Chasing Cars"

Concentrating and concentrating on studying are the study habits we must develop, but for many people, this basic skill is still not done well enough.When you focus on your own study and no longer worry about the cartoons being shown on TV or the unfinished box of chocolates, you will find that your learning efficiency and academic performance will be improved rapidly.

Taotao is doing English reading comprehension in the study room. Today he assigned himself 5 tasks.However, he came out once every 10 minutes, either to drink water or go to the toilet.

At 10 o'clock, Mumu went in to see him, and found that Taotao had only written three articles.

Mu Mu asked: "Have you not finished yet?"

"Well, I can't read it. The more I want to finish it quickly, the more I can't read it."

"I can understand your situation. In fact, it is the lack of a spirit of 'ampe chasing cars'."

"How do you say that?"

So Mumu told Taotao the story of Ampere's concentration.

One day, the physicist Ampere was walking on the street, and suddenly remembered a problem.Because he was so engrossed in thinking about this problem, he even used the carriage of a carriage as a blackboard at home, took out chalk and began to calculate on the carriage.After the carriage moved around, he chased the carriage and calculated, which caused the people in the street to roar with laughter, but he himself didn't know it.

"Huh? You let me do such a stupid thing like Ampere, so that everyone can laugh?"

"No, I want you to know that you need to concentrate when you study. You still remember Yixiu's cute appearance: he sat with his knees crossed, his eyes slightly closed, and his fingers circled around his head a few times. Will come up with a brilliant plan.

"His very characteristic posture is also to keep himself focused and concentrate on solving some problems. Now you do 3 reading comprehension articles in 3 hours, what you lack is the spirit of concentration. Scientific research shows that when people concentrate on doing things, The brain waves are stable and rhythmic, and in a good functional state, the efficiency of thinking will increase. Therefore, if you can concentrate when doing reading comprehension, you can finish today's reading questions quickly and well .”

Concentrate on doing one thing well without distraction, and many things can be completed satisfactorily.We know that the energy of sunlight is huge, but because it is relatively scattered, it is impossible for it to ignite objects.However, it can be done with a magnifying glass. When all the light is gathered at one point, the paper will burn. The same is true for learning.As long as we develop the good habit of focusing, our academic performance will be improved.

Some students always say that I can't concentrate on what I do, and I always get distracted easily. It seems that I am hopeless.In fact, there is no need to be so discouraged, because concentration can be cultivated, and you can try the following methods.

1. To be fully focused, be emotionally prepared
Before you start studying, gather your mind and consider what you are going to learn.For example, you can spend 10 minutes before the teacher starts to give a lecture, and think about the content to be learned in this class, so that you will be mentally prepared, and the teacher can quickly follow up when he talks about new things.Keep this kind of mental preparation as a ritual, even after leaving school, and over time, you will develop the habit of paying attention.

2. Only those who can rest can concentrate

Concentration is closely related to rest. If you want to concentrate, you must get enough rest to restore your mental and physical strength.Standing in front of an open window between classes and taking deep breaths can re-oxygenate your brain so you can focus on the next class.As long as rest and concentration are interleaved, our learning efficiency can be guaranteed.

3. We can also use meditation to train our habit of concentration

Focus on listening to the ticking of the clock every day, 10 times on the first day, 15 times on the second day, and 20 times on the third day, and increase gradually. Listen very attentively each time. After half a month, you can develop the habit of focusing.

Carry out the interest to the end and climb the world ivy
"Did you read yesterday's newspaper, Mumu?" Taotao asked.

"No, is there any breaking news?"

"Yes, it published the story of two students from the High School Affiliated to Renmin University going to an Ivy League school."

"tell me the story."

"There is a student named Vick who received a full scholarship and was admitted to a prestigious liberal arts college in the United States. He is a very quiet boy who likes to carry out the things he is interested in. When he was in junior high school, he especially He likes Huajian Ci. When he was studying at school, he read all the information on Huajian Ci that he could find, and he explained it clearly and logically. Even his neighbor, a top student from Peking University, was ashamed of himself! But he is not biased, In fact, his grades in all subjects are very good. Whenever he has time, he memorizes English vocabulary. An English vocabulary book written by Wang Changxi has won more than 1 words. In the TOEFL test, he scored 660 points .

"There is another one who was admitted to Harvard University with a full scholarship. His name is David. He likes mathematics very much. When his classmates usually see him, they will always see him holding books like "Euclidean Geometry" in his arms. Whenever he solves a difficult problem skillfully, he can't help shouting "Miao, Miao". Since the third year of junior high school, he has won the first prize in the Beijing Division of the National High School Mathematics League for 3 consecutive years. As a member of the Beijing training team Members participate in the national mathematics winter camp. He is obsessed with mathematics."

After listening to Taotao's narration, Mumu said: "Whether it is Vick's interest or David's fascination, it is a very good habit. This kind of interest attracts them to focus on one thing and achieve excellent results. "

We need to cultivate our own interest in learning. Interest will make us concentrate, and only under the premise of concentration can our grades improve steadily.Everyone has their own interests, our slogan is: Carry out interests to the end!
Interest is the best teacher. Interest will make us concentrate. If we carry out our interest to the end, we will get good grades in a pleasant atmosphere.In terms of learning, there are situations where you are not interested in or dislike certain subjects. At this time, we don’t need to escape, because avoiding cannot solve the problem. What we can do is to make ourselves like courses with “psychological barriers”.

How to become interested in homework that you don't like?The following is the suggestion of Chen Kezheng, an expert on the four fast learning methods:
1. Use the "reward effect" to induce yourself to be interested in those courses that you feel headache
In the practice of learning, we first force ourselves to study the subjects we hate, and learn them thoroughly, and then learn the subjects we are interested in, so that we will gradually become interested in the subjects we hate and take the initiative to complete them.In other words, it is to use the subjects you like as bait to induce your interest in subjects you don't like.For example, if you like physics but don't like mathematics, you can use mathematics in the process of studying physics, and you will gradually find that mathematics is so amazing; if you like English but don't like history, you can read some English history books to supplement your historical knowledge. And so on, use the subjects you like to pull the subjects you don't like.

2. When you are unmotivated or depressed, you can draw lots to stimulate your interest in learning

"There are too many subjects to study, and I don't know where to start." "If you don't succeed in anything, just give up." Students with this kind of thinking often have a mentality of self-pity, especially after failing the exam. discouraged.To overcome this depressed mood, you can use the "drawing lottery learning method" to write the subjects you are going to study on the slips of paper and make them into labels, and read whatever subjects you draw, so as to increase your interest in learning.After using this method to learn to achieve the goal, there will be a strong sense of satisfaction in the heart. This phenomenon is called "completion motivation" in psychology.

Eliminate Inner Interference——Kant's trump card for success

"Mumu, recently I have been unable to concentrate. After the English class, and then the Chinese class, my attention can't be shifted immediately, and when I shift, the get out of class will be over soon. Wait until In the next math class, I remembered that I missed a lot of knowledge points in the last Chinese class, and I felt very sorry, and I was in a trance state for several days."

"Don't worry, many students will encounter this kind of situation. Some students shift their attention quickly and can quickly shift from the last class, while some transfer slowly. It takes a while to adapt, but it takes a long time. Yes, it will affect academic performance."

"What has actually happened?"

"The main problem is that there are too many internal disturbances. Although the environment around you is already very quiet every time, there is a commotion inside, an activity that interferes with your emotions, and an excitement that is not related to this study. You have to be good at putting down and eliminating all kinds of emotional activities. Internal interference is often more serious than external interference. If you cannot eliminate this interference, you will not be able to concentrate.”

"Then what should I do?"
