Don’t Worry If You Realize You Don’t Know Anything — Dunning-Kruger Effect and Five Stages of Learning

-
Image
Have you ever felt that you learn something very hard only to find you know nothing about it? Maybe many of you have. I also have. I started writing blog posts these days to convey what I learned. I learned from a book and have experienced that output let me realize many things I don't understand. I'm almost falling behind as writing reminds me of my ignorance one after the other. Then when you're in that kind of situation, what do you think? You may feel discouraged, of course. Everyone wants to be knowledgeable rather than unknowledgeable, skilled rather than unskilled. However, you don't have to get disappointed. There is some evidence. I'll tell you why you don't have to get disappointed. Photo by Yente Van Eynde on Unsplash Why am I writing this? I want to tell you that it's not the time to quit learning, even if you sta...

Only Input Isn't Enough, We Need Output and Feedback

-
Image
What processes do we need in learning? Input, output, and feedback. We can't skip the input process because we won't gain knowledge without it. Yet I'd like to highlight the others: output and feedback. We should put a higher weight on the output process to get feedback. I learned from Sion Kabasawa's book about the importance of the output process and my experience. I'll tell you the importance of output and feedback in this post. Photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash Why isn't input alone enough? I was overweight with inputted information. Before reading Kabasawa's book, I regarded learning as the input process. Last year, I read 100 books and watched 70 films. I leave some notes about books I read and movies I watched. Looking back on these notes reminds me of what I've read or watched. I was satisfied with the number of books...

What I Learned About Habits – Reading "Better Than Before"

-
Image
Do you have any rules set for yourself, such as waking up at 7:00 every day, going to a gym twice a day, or never eating anything after dinner? I've ever tried to form many habits with great effort. Some trials bore fruit, and others didn't or have yet to. It usually takes a lot of time and effort to develop good habits. Yet, there are a few exceptions. I didn't have so much effort to remove the bad habit of using my smartphone in my bed for more than 30 minutes before bedtime. Also, when I made it a habit to run for about 10 minutes every day, I had no trouble doing it. I wondered for a second why sometimes I could easily change or make a new habit. I may develop my habits with less effort if I discover the answer to this question. I searched for a book about habits to find easier ways to make good habits. And I found  Better Than Before . There were many things to learn, so I'd like to write what I learned from Better Than Before  in this post. Photo by Estée Janssen...

The Essential Things The Film "In Time" Reminds Us About Time

-
Image
In Time is one of the life-changing films to me. It's a 2011 science fiction movie. Will Salas, the protagonist, lives in a world where people stop aging at age 25. Time is currency, so people earn and spend it. As long as they have time, they can live. The limited super-rich can live almost forever with health, whereas the rest have no choice but live from day to day literally. In Time is thought-provoking from two perspectives: social structure resources of time and money We'll look into the film from the resource perspective in this post. Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash Time is a resource, as is money Time is a resource. You're probably not pressed for time if you don't have that sense. Neither did I. I'd forgotten time is a resource until I saw In Time . In one scene, Will's mother can't afford to get a bus back home. The fare went up to 2 hours, and she has only 1.5 hours. Unfortunately, it's 2 hour...

Five Impressive Discoveries From "Insta-Brain"

How many hours a day do we spend using our smartphones? According to Insta-Brain  (original Swedish title: Skärmhjärnan ), four hours for adults and four to five hours for teenagers. Very long, isn't it? Immediately after starting to read this book, I was surprised at how long we spend on our smartphones. And from there, I finished the book as if drawn into it. Insta-Brain gave me many insights into how our brains influence our behaviors.  In this post, I wish to tell you five of the most impressive discoveries from the book. Photo by William Hook on Unsplash Our brains have changed little since ancient times. This is the consistent message of the book. Given the history of our species since its emergence 200,000 years ago, smartphones, the Internet, and social networking have only recently become commonplace, or rat...
