Headline don't forget your creative thinking photo contest.

Unconsciously, more than half of 202 1 has passed, and I always feel that time has passed too fast. Just like Voltaire's famous saying, this seems to be myself:

I can't help asking myself, how did I accomplish the goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year?

Fortunately, although my plan has been slightly adjusted, it has not deviated from the basic goal in the general direction. There were indeed many gains in the first half of the year, and of course there were many areas that needed improvement.

Therefore, we should make a comprehensive summary and review for ourselves, not only to review the past six months, but more importantly to guide the specific actions in the second half of the year.

In 202 1 year, I set myself three goals:

How have these goals been achieved? Let me summarize one by one:

This year, I invested a lot of energy and time in educating my son, not only because I found that children are lacking in some abilities, but also because children in the lower grades of primary school really need their parents' attention, encouragement and support. Correct discipline methods and timely and positive feedback can give children more motivation to move forward.

Children's growth is irreversible, so I chose to learn the correct educational concepts and methods in this year and try to apply the theories I learned from books, which really played a role in improving children's ability.

For example, he has made some small progress in concentration, reading habits, awareness of time management and habits of deep thinking.

As Fan Deng said in Accompanying Children's Lifelong Growth, the three most important pillars for parents to accompany their children are unconditional love, sense of value and growth mentality.

I also regard these three principles as basic educational principles. I not only pay attention to children's learning itself, but also pay attention to his character cultivation, will quality, life experience and personal sense of value. Let him get knowledge and nutrients from everything in life, nourish his life, and let children know that process and motivation are more important than results. This is the secret of making children happy all their lives.

-I read a total of 18 books in the first half of the year (as follows). The three books that have the greatest influence on me are Qian Qian the Dog, The Road to Wealth Freedom and Positive Discipline.

Some of these books are recommended by the community, some are read because they want to solve a certain category, and some are invited by the book group, and they have to write book reviews after reading them.

In this way, I also read a lot of books in the first half of the year. But when you think about it, the books that impress you the most are those that you have carefully read, written book reviews and published Xiao Hong. For example, Qian Qian the Puppy, Making Money by Sideline, The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy, etc. Because these books are thoroughly read and output a lot.

However, I often remind myself not to fall into the trap of low-level diligence. That is, the simplest part of spending a lot of time doing things. The process of reading is a simple part of life. It only needs simple input, and then it can be understood according to its own cognitive level.

In this case, if it is just the output of reading, such as drawing mind maps, writing book reviews, publishing little red books, writing opening manuscripts, shooting recommended videos, etc. It can only prove that you have a thorough understanding of the contents in the book, but how to put the methods in the book into action is simple to say and really difficult to do.

So for this, my personal experience is that you must not covet the practice of knowledge in books, even if it is only the most important method in books, the method that moves you the most, yes! It's a way! Then this book was not read for nothing!

In this way, if we read 50 books a year, we can practice 50 new methodologies; Even if you read slowly, a Harle can practice 65,438+02 methodologies a year. If you really do these methods, you will gain a lot this year!

In fact, the idea was inspired by a sentence from Cao Hao's reading community:

Based on this principle, I no longer force myself to practice all the contents and methods in the book, so that I will not bring myself the pressure of reading and feel particularly fulfilled.

-Courses attended in the first half of the year: porridge teacher's time management course, pastoral community course, micro-course "Cultivating children's concentration"

I didn't sign up for many free "pilot courses" like last year, that is, five-day training camp and seven-day training camp. Instead, I concentrate on learning the most useful knowledge in the field I want to devote myself to. This kind of concentration feels good!

-Participating communities in the first half of the year: pastoral community and Cao Hao reading community.

It's really nice to meet two group owners and learn and grow with so many friends on the same frequency. Although I seldom speak in the group because of my busy work, I actually pay attention to the news in the group every day, and I especially thank you for sharing your experiences and insights in the group. I think the greatest significance of joining a club is to find the feeling of "organization". There is a saying that "a group of people can go further", and I am convinced!

My main business is still very, very busy. Our company specializes in providing products to international organizations, and my medical team has been busy since the outbreak of the epidemic last year. I thought it would be easier this year, but obviously I think it's too simple.

At this time last year, I was purchasing and transporting primary epidemic prevention supplies such as masks, protective clothing and isolation goggles every day; And now I am communicating with foreign customers every day this year about the supply of oxygen generators, oxygen cylinders and other materials, as busy as last year.

So this led me to go to work during the day, go home to take care of the baby, and leave myself at night 10. There is really nothing I can do about the development of sideline business. I used to be very upset about it. I feel that the main business has seriously dragged down the sideline business, but I can't change my job yet (because I haven't given it to you from last year's performance, 555 ...), and I really feel helpless.

However, I have gradually realized one thing, that is, whether it is the main business or the sideline business, their duty is to increase my income. So if I am more likely to increase my income in my main business, should I spend more time in my main business? As Zhou Zuoren Duroy said in the class of time management, "time betting".

Besides, at present, my main business is facing the so-called "window" period. Because of the aggravation of the epidemic in India, I have the opportunity to receive orders for tens of thousands of oxygen generators, and the opportunity to get such a large order is not always there. Maybe this wave of "tuyere" will fade after only a month or two, so I have to seize it especially!

With this in mind, I won't elaborate. I will still seize all the time to study and research, such as an hour's commute, lunch break and all kinds of fragmented time.

Moreover, I have to mention high efficiency. In order not to have to work overtime every day, I make full use of the concept of "procrastination is justice" mentioned by Teacher Zhou, accurately estimate the time for myself to finish all the work, and then set aside some flexible time to handle the work well. The overall effect is good.

And what I learn every day will be put on the platform, not for profit, but to record what I have learned, thought and thought. By April 30th this year, I had finished the 365-day day shift, which was a small achievement.

This is the "freelancer mentality" that Mu Xin once shared:

As a "long-term activist", if you have this mentality, it is only a matter of time before you always keep your inner peace, do what you think is the most important thing, and become what you want.

In fact, I still have a lot of unfinished things in the first half of the year, such as the unfinished headline day, the week of Little Red Book, and the daily parent-child reading.

It is mainly a matter of time before these things are realized. Really have no time and energy! You really can only do one thing at a fixed time! I'm reading book reviews most of the time now, and the reading speed was really much faster in the first half of the year. I hope my future development direction is related to the realization of reading.

However, some things can be connected in parallel. For example, posting micro headlines can be my daily reading comprehension, so my important work in the second half of the year is to think deeply about multitasking, time management and energy management.

Regarding the plan for the second half of the year, I mainly want to do a theme reading. Including such directions: family education, time management, writing books, psychology. It is planned to read in one direction 1.5 months. These categories also happen to be related to the problems I want to solve most at present, and I want to improve my ability.

In addition, I want to learn to read the relevant content of realization, understand the form of realization, choose the direction that suits me, and start trying to contribute.

I don't want to list too many specific plans. There will be many possibilities in the future. We should leave room for these possibilities, right?

However, the general direction and goals are there, which is enough! Didn't the porridge teacher say that the plan can be adjusted at any time? Ha ha!

202 1 in the second half of the year, come on!
