Chapter 396 Mental Disability

"I give myself weekly rewards for completing tasks and overtime, and those rewards give me motivation."

"Teacher, don't you need a vacation or a rest?" The students were very curious about this.

"I have rest. Rest is as essential to the brain as vitamins are to the body. If I take time away from rest, my mind will suffer. It's painful," she said. "Just rest and don't. It doesn’t have to be on vacation, it doesn’t have to be about indulging yourself and doing something.”

"I think I can switch from distracted state to focused state at will. Teacher, you said not to play mobile phones or surf the Internet. These will affect our concentration. I don't think I am like this." Some students also retorted Ning Youguang. "I'm the type of person who puts down my phone and learns right away."

"Are you sure you can?" Ning Youguang smiled, "According to scientific research, once the human brain gets used to distraction, it will become obsessed with it, and even when you want to focus later, it is difficult to Get rid of this habit. It's a reality, so we need strategies to help us reorganize our brains to make them more structured for long-term focus, and I'm not just sharing with you how to focus , is how deep learning and deep work, this 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 for lunch, and they all need to use their mobile phones to pass the time, so their brains may have been reprogrammed, from some It's 'mentally disabled' in a way, and people who are used to this pattern will have a hard time deep work and deep learning brains, even if they schedule time to train their ability to focus."

"So, I am disabled..."

"Is it so scary?"

"It was only when I realized that I was a 'mentally disabled' person."

"I learned, mentally disabled."

The students were shocked and panicked.

"Recognizing that the problem is the beginning of solving the problem, don't be too nervous." Ning Youguang smiled, "I think we modern people should learn from Thoreau and let ourselves be lost in this universally connected world. a while."

"Teacher, have you studied Thoreau?"

"Yes." Ning Youguang said, "I go to Tibet to retreat once a year. The time of retreat is just the time for me to do deep thinking. During this process, I can replenish my brain with energy. There was no internet in the place where I retreated. Every day I went to sleep at nine o'clock in the evening and woke up at four thirty in the morning. During those ten days or so, I felt as if I had recovered some quiet things in my life. It was a very magical experience. ."

"We don't have such conditions."

"How do you say retreat?"

"There are also many ways to temporarily get rid of the hustle and bustle. For example, I have some friends around me, some of them take out a month or two a year, some take out a week or two a year, and some take out one or two a day. When I was alone with myself when I was a child, my friends who had this experience told me that it would give their brains a good rest.”

Ning Youguang not only shared his own experience with the students, but also shared the experiences of his friends, just to help everyone better absorb and act on the light.

"The Sabbath in the Hebrew Bible is to let people take a period of time to be quiet and reflect, in order to thank God and his gifts, some groups I know, they set up an online Sabbath for themselves, the purpose is to let themselves understand What I lose while staring at the screen, I think this 'cyber Sabbath' is just fine."

"Okay, I get it. The teacher thinks that we are all internet addicts and we should get rid of internet addiction."

Some students joked with Ning Youguang when they were young.

Ning Youguang said, "It's not just you who have internet addiction. Look around, do you see how many people around you have no internet addiction?"

"The weird is balanced."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but it seems like there's something wrong again."

Ning Youguang smiled, "In addition to getting rid of my constant distraction and getting enough motivation, I can also instantly change my scattered work life and become more focused."

"Teacher, have you reached the point where you can work in depth at any time?" a classmate asked.

"Not yet." Ning Youguang said with a smile, "Writing this book published this year, I found that my efficiency in the dormitory and office became less efficient in a month or two, so I searched for a famous hotel in the mountains on the Internet. I went to stay for two nights on weekends to relax. After I went to the famous hotel, I found that the famous hotel was very beautiful, so I decided to go there every weekend. In fact, when I first went, I didn’t want to stay there all the time. There, but my writing that day went really well, so on weekends, I would book this hotel, where nearly a third of my chapters were done.”

"So what do you mean, teacher, if you find that your deep work and study status is not enough, you should temporarily put aside the things at hand and go to rest and relax, right?"

"Is this what you told us, teacher, to learn to leave blanks for yourself?"

"Yes." Ning Youguang nodded, "This is the opinion of the Dutch psychologist Ep' Dixthesius and his team. They suggest that if people can't make a decision for the time being, it's better to leave the unconscious mind. To solve, in other words, sometimes the result of our active and deliberate thinking may not be as good as unconscious thinking, then it is better to transfer to other things after understanding relevant information, and let the subconscious think about these things. In layman's terms, if you are in When studying and working, if you find that there is no way to enter the state, you can temporarily leave for a while, go out to blow the wind, bask in the sun, admire the flowers... Even if it is simply to go out to breathe the fresh air and let yourself change the state, all Better than holding on."

There are also classmates whose attention is very absent.

"Teacher, is that famous hotel expensive?"

"I think the price of a five-star hotel is a little expensive." Ning Youguang had a sour expression on his face, "So every time I go there, I can't bear to waste it, and I work hard."

"It's a big deal." The classmates giggled, "It's okay for a day or two, but going every weekend will burn a lot of money."

"Because it's a bit extravagant, I should improve my work efficiency and try to earn money back." This is the first time Ning Youguang talked so frankly about money with his classmates.

The students were 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 Yingguang is teaching and working every day.

But because she looks so immortal, they can't think of the fireworks in the world when they see her, and they always feel that money is not something they can talk to her about.

There is a wall between fairies and mortals.

After chatting like this today, they suddenly found out, "Oh, it turns out that the fairy will feel distressed when she goes to a famous place with a higher price, and she will also feel a little extravagant and dare not waste, and want to work hard to make money to earn it back, this kind of mentality is related to them. There's no difference..."

how to say.

When the classmates in the audience noticed this, when they came to see Ning Youguang again, they didn’t feel that fairies were not fairies at all, but felt that fairies were more down-to-earth…

"What's the matter with being a little cute?" Some people also thought secretly.

Soon, some classmates continued to ask, "Teacher, have you earned all the money you spent on writing and living in famous hotels?"

This kind of question——

Ning Youguang didn't even need to answer, the students could answer for her.

"I must have earned it back!"

"It's not like you don't know how well the teacher's books sell."

"That is, the top new writers in the top best-sellers of the major online sales platforms."

"Definitely enough."

Ning Youguang smiled without saying a word, and let them laugh and laugh.

Until, several students asked:

"Teacher, you are so popular now, why don't you start a real-name Weibo?"

"Yes, I searched several times, but I couldn't find the teacher."

"Teacher, teacher, do you have an anonymous vest? Hurry up and authenticate with your real name. We will all follow you."

——It’s all a group of classmates who secretly searched for Ning Youguang’s vests on the Internet.

Ning lied without blinking, "Sorry, I don't play Weibo."

"what?"

"Sure enough, he is someone who studied Thoreau."

"Fairies are so unique."

…

is exactly what she said.

This year.

Ning Youguang cut off a lot of superficial work and focused all of his energy on extremely important goals that need to be executed.

She also changed some of her previous acting styles.

In addition to letting Shi Mochizuki support her to live alone.

Another big change in her is-

She chooses to design her daily internet usage time in advance.

Avoid using the internet entirely by yourself outside of these hours.

She found some gadgets to help her record the time she spent on the Internet, and trained herself outside of this time, no matter what temptation she faced, not to touch anything related to the Internet.

"Only deep work can create something of value to the world."

Once, she and Academician Yu also communicated about it.

Academician Yu said with a smile, "You're right, especially us researchers, but I firmly believe that doing this kind of work also requires regular relaxation of the brain."

"I'm relaxed." Ning Youguang smiled.

"It's not enough, I mean let you take a vacation for yourself, go out to relax, and spend a few hours with you. This year, he has sacrificed a lot to support you, don't keep waiting for yourself. People." Academician Yu shook his head slowly, "Just now, our project has come to an end recently, nothing to do with you, you can rest for a while." 1314
