So what kind of "piece of paper" is so powerful?
This "paper" is actually "a big pad with a large back area". The concept of "a piece of paper" comes from Sakamoto's "Once Learned Notes".
Sakamoto is a Japanese writer, speaker and well-known financial adviser. He himself is the beneficiary of "note-taking". Sakamoto worked in a large bank for more than 20 years, but he was on the verge of bankruptcy because of his overconfidence in financial knowledge. He reflected on the reasons for his failure and thought about how to avoid previous mistakes in the future. He invented "note-taking" and used it to manage his work and life. It took only five years to pay off the loan, and created tens of millions of yen in cash flow and accumulated hundreds of millions of yen in assets.
How does Sakamoto use "note-taking"? The method in the book "Learn the Method of Taking Notes Once" is summarized into three steps:
There are three sizes of post-it notes recommended by the author: 75mm*75mm, 75mm*40mm, 60mm*60mm. A comprehensive post-it note means that the back can be completely pasted, which is different from a post-it note that can only be partially pasted.
A4-sized notebook is convenient for sorting printed materials, without scaling and folding A4 materials. At the same time, it is used with post-it notes.
The author mentioned a sentence in this book: "What matters is not what we use, but how we use it."
In other words, the essence of "notes" is a way of thinking. This is also the essence of the full text. On the basis of this essence, the author summarizes the three most important requirements of note-taking:
On the basis of these three requirements, the author also gives the principle of 10 taking notes/accounting.
① Portability, ② Convenience, ③ One Pocket Principle, ④ Clear at a glance, ⑤ Flexibility, ⑤ A4 paper compatibility, ⑦ Simplicity, ⑧ Continuity, ⑨ Schedule management and ⑩ Economy.
At the end of the book, the author introduces the method of "three brothers with sticky notes", and uses these three methods to explore the hidden treasure in his heart.
Draw a nine-square grid first, write the theme in the middle, and write down related keywords or ideas in the surrounding eight grids. In these eight notes, if you can dig deeper and start thinking, you can take them out separately and press Jiugongge in your notebook to continue thinking.
Arrange and combine the notes written in the "Datura Notebook Map" and transform different entrances to stimulate the brain, thus expanding the mind.
Group notes with topics, conclusions, reasons, backgrounds, requirements, etc. , and input the contents of the notes into the computer in the order of topic, conclusion and reason. To finish the report.
At this point, the content of the book here is basically over.
This question is a matter of opinion, and everyone's preferences are different. In this book, the author thinks that the advantages of paper notes are greater than electronic notes, and even better than electronic notes in some aspects. However, in the Internet age, electronic notes should be the mainstay, supplemented by paper. Why?
First of all, at present, the function coverage of APP has been very wide, such as Iflytek dictation with voice recognition function, line drawing with OCR function, and graphite documents that can be synchronized in the cloud, all of which are tools to improve efficiency. Under the idea of "note-taking", we can combine these softwares to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Xiao neng Xiong has a set of instrumental theory: "make good use of sharp weapons and exercise extreme restraint."
Secondly, tool apps emerge one after another. Today there are XMIND, curtain, evernote, Nutmeg Cloud and so on. Tomorrow, there may be a stronger and better app to replace them. Tools serve people, but tools cannot replace thinking. When we master thinking, we master a way of thinking.
The way of thinking is almost the only essential difference between people. The difference between tools and skills can be quantified. The accumulation of skills and the proficiency of tools are only the differences in proficiency. Differences in thinking are essential and cannot be quantified. Reading reference books, just like this "note-taking method", notes are just tools, only a small part of the harvest. The thinking method mentioned by Sakamoto is the most worth learning.
