Chapter 396 Mental Disabilities

"I will set myself rewards for completing tasks every week and completing tasks overtime. These rewards will give me motivation."

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

"I have rest. Rest is as essential to the brain as vitamins are to the body. If I deprive myself of rest, my mind suffers. It's so painful," she said. It doesn’t have to be on vacation, and it doesn’t have to be indulgence to do something.”

"I think I can switch from the state of distraction to the state of concentration 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 also refuted Ning Youguang Opinion, "I'm the kind of person who can learn immediately after putting down the phone."

"Are you sure you can?" Ning Youguang smiled, "According to scientific research, once the human brain adapts to distraction, it will become obsessed with it. Even when you want to concentrate, it will be difficult for you to focus on it." Get rid of this old habit. This is a reality, so we need some strategies to help us reprogram our brains to make it more suitable for long-term focus, and what I am sharing with you now is not just how to focus , how to learn and work deeply, this is a state that requires more concentration than concentration.”

The students in the audience were lost in thought.

Ning Youguang also said, "When I go to the cafeteria to eat, I often see students waiting in line for food, and they all need to use their mobile phones to pass the time, so their brains may have been reprogrammed, from some kind of To a certain extent, this is 'mental disability', and people who are accustomed to this mode will have a hard time with their brains for deep work and deep learning, even if they will often schedule time to train their ability to focus."

"So, I'm disabled..."

"Is it so scary?"

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

"Understood, mentally disabled."

The students were shocked and terrified.

"Recognizing a problem is the beginning of solving it, so don't be too nervous." Ning Youguang said with a smile, "I think we modern people should learn from Thoreau and let ourselves lose contact for a while in this universally connected world. For 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 think deeply. During this process, I can replenish energy for my brain very well. There is no Internet in the place where I retreat, and I go to bed at 9 o’clock in the evening every day, and wake up at 4:30 in the morning. During those ten days or so, I felt that I seemed to have recovered some quiet things in my life. It was a very miraculous experience .”

"We don't have such conditions."

"What do you mean by retreat?"

"There are also many ways to temporarily get rid of the hustle and bustle. For example, some friends around me, some of them spend one or two months a year, some spend one or two weeks a year, and some spend one or two a day. I was alone with myself when I was young, and friends who have had these experiences told me that these will 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, in order to help everyone better absorb and act on light.

"The Sabbath in the Hebrew Bible is to allow people to take a period of time to quiet and reflect, to thank God and his gifts. Some groups I know have set themselves an Internet Sabbath in order to let themselves understand What is lost while staring at a screen, I think this 'Internet Sabbath' is good."

"Okay, I see. The teacher thinks that we are all teenagers with Internet addiction, and we should quit Internet addiction."

Some students joked with Ning Youguang when they were late.

Ning Youguang said, "It's not just you who have Internet addiction, look around, how many people around you don't have Internet addiction?"

"Weirdly balanced."

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

Ning Youguang smiled, "In addition to getting rid of my 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 work in depth at any time?" Some students asked.

"Not yet." Ning Youguang said with a smile, "Writing this book to be published this year, I found that my efficiency in the dormitory and office has become lower for a month or two, so I found a famous hotel in the mountains on the Internet and planned to do it. I went to stay for two nights on the weekend 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 went for the first time, I didn’t want to stay there There, but I finished writing very smoothly that day, so I will book this famous hotel every weekend, and nearly one-third of my chapters are completed here."

"So, teacher, what you mean 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 you told us, teacher, to learn to leave blank space for yourself?"

"Yes." Ning Youguang nodded, "This is the point of view of Dutch psychologist Aip Dixtesius and his team. They suggest that for some things, if people cannot make a decision for the time being, it is best to leave it in the unconscious mind. Solve, in other words, sometimes the result of our active and deliberate thinking may not be as good as unconscious thinking, so it is better to transfer to other things after knowing the relevant information, and let the subconscious mind think about these things. In layman’s terms, if you are When I was studying and working, I found that there was no way to enter the state, so I could leave for a while, go out to enjoy the wind, enjoy the sun, enjoy the flowers... Even if I just go out for a breath of fresh air and let myself change my state, It’s better than holding on.”

There are also students who are very out of focus.

"Teacher, is that famous hotel expensive?"

"The price of a five-star hotel, I think it's a bit expensive." Ning Youguang had a painful expression on his face, "So every time I go there, I don't want to waste it, and I work hard."

"It's a big deal." The students giggled, "It's okay for a day or two, but it's a waste of money to go every weekend."

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

The students were all very excited.

They suddenly had a feeling - "fairies are just like ordinary people, there is no difference, they all want to make a living."

Although Ning Youguang is teaching and working every day.

But because of her celestial appearance and temperament, they couldn't think of the fireworks in the world when they saw her, and they always felt that money was something that they couldn't talk to her at all.

There is a wall between fairies and mortals.

Today, when we chatted so openly, they suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that fairies will feel distressed when they go to famous places with higher prices, and they will feel a little extravagant and dare not waste it. They want to work hard to earn back. This kind of mentality is different from theirs. There is no difference..."

how to say.

When the students in the audience realized this and came to see Ning Youguang again, they would not feel that the fairy is not immortal at all, but feel that the fairy is more down-to-earth...

"What's the matter with being a little cute?" Some people were still thinking secretly.

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

This kind of question——

There is no need for Ning Youguang to answer, the students can answer for her.

"It must have earned it back!"

"It's not like you don't know how well the teacher's book sells."

"That's right, the new writers who are among the top bestsellers on the major online sales platforms."

"It's definitely enough."

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

Until, a few students asked:

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

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

"Teacher, do you have an anonymous vest? Quickly authenticate another one with your real name. We will all pay attention to you."

——They were all a group of students who secretly searched for Ning Youguang's vest on the Internet.

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

"what?"

"Sure enough, he is someone who learned from Thoreau."

"Fairies are so unique."

...

Exactly as 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 executed.

She also changed some of her previous acting styles.

Except for Shi Mochizuki to support her to live alone.

Another big change for her is——

She chooses to plan her daily internet use ahead of time.

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

She found some gadgets to help her record the time she used 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 communicated about this matter.

Academician Yu said with a smile, "You are right, especially us scientific researchers. However, I firmly believe that the completion of this kind of work also requires regular relaxation of the brain."

"I'm relaxing." Ning Youguang smiled.

"It's not enough, I mean let you take a vacation for yourself, go out to relax, and spend time with you. This year, he has sacrificed a lot to support you. Don't keep hanging around for your own things. People." Academician Yu shook his head slowly, "It just so happens that our project has come to an end recently, and there is nothing to do with you, so you should take a good rest." 1314
