Procrastination is a term in psychology that refers to attempts to escape from real life by looking for other activities. In the case of books, there is one big mistake - a person receives information, but does not practice it. What is the point in knowing something if the determination to embody and practice theoretical experience is not enough? This is the main task - to overpower yourself and move on. Only then will the book be able to change life for the better.
A banal reading will not change anything. According to statistics, 70% of people who came to trainings, courses, wanted something, but could not overcome laziness, do not come to success. The worst outcome is disappointment.
Why books don't change our lives:
· Wrong paradigm, knowledge is the goal. This is a big mistake. The goal is not knowledge, the goal is the achievement of certain benefits that become closer and more accessible thanks to this knowledge. Remember, back in school you studied for what? To get a good grade and then it was over. What to do with the assessment and what to do with knowledge? Few people thought about this.
How does the problem appear? People strive to get one, second, third higher education. They try to demonstrate their knowledge by exalting themselves in this aspect over others.
How to solve the problem? To apply knowledge in practice, to pursue a real goal, not limited to acquiring knowledge.
· Wonderful miracles. Many people regard knowledge as a door to a certain substance, where everything is beautiful and good, and goals are achieved by themselves. But there will be no magic.
How does the problem appear? A man read a book in which the author tells how to change his life. Motivation, practical advice, ways to achieve goals. What's next? A person thinks that nothing works, the book is bad, and its author is almost a charlatan.
How to solve the problem? Again, apply knowledge in practice, fight laziness and not be afraid to act.
· Superficial reading. Reading just to read is the wrong tactic.
How does the problem appear? We read, represent what we have learned. We perceive it as something fantastic, abstract.
How to solve the problem? Take books seriously, take every line you read as the key to achieving your goals.
· Oversaturation with information.
How does the problem appear? The colossal amount of information, from which it is difficult to choose what is useful, weighs on us. There is a lot of unnecessary things around, which creates tension. Collecting, analyzing, sorting new tips and techniques.
How to solve the problem? Do not be afraid of false information, be ready for analysis. Compare the knowledge that has already been accumulated to assess the usefulness and effectiveness of the new data.
The most universal advice is to take action! Don't stop, don't expect a miracle. A miracle is something that you can create for yourself. Use books to improve your methods of work, study, life.
