[Life Hacks and the Practice of Tanka] 6 Principles of 'Learning from Yourself' to Navigate the Age of Information Overload
In our daily lives, we use brain resources when we are conscious of tasks or what we need to do right now.
However, those resources have limits, and when we exceed those limits, our work performance declines.
The capacity of those resources is called cognitive resources.
In daily life, it seems that we are overusing these cognitive resources, leading to increased stress.
To avoid wasting cognitive resources, it is important to reduce the number of things you have to do (^^)
To that end, it is said to be effective to categorize the massive list you have written down into the following three categories.
■ 'Do Now' Task List
■ 'Do Soon' Task List
■ 'Someday' Task List
It would be great if you could make these habits, but to save cognitive resources and reduce mental distress, it is important to establish the following three things, so please try to be conscious of them.
① Reduce the things you have to do as much as possible
② Reduce the things you need to remember (prospective memory) as much as possible
③ Ensure you complete your routine work
However, since it is important to use life hacks that suit you, I think you should choose the methods that are easiest for you rather than forcing yourself to fit into what is suggested (^^)
Now, for those who want to think about what life hacks are,
'You who read me, are you sure you understand my language?' (from J.L. Borges' 'The Library of Babel')
I will introduce concrete examples of hacks combined with the practice of Tanka, which I think could be called the repetition of presenting a way of life through the first person (self-making). Are you driven toward a daily world where such (hack-like) ways of living are considered desirable?
Please check it out (^^)
1. Clearly write down the 'purpose' and 'goals' of what you are learning
2. Think of compact questions in advance
3. Create a table to follow up on what you have learned
4. Identify your entry point
5. Present the 'results' to the person who taught you
6. Teach what you have learned to others
