The focus mode is that when we focus on something, the prefrontal cortex automatically sends signals along neural pathways that go to the various brain regions related to what we're thinking about, connecting them. In this model, we may or may not find the answer, because the real answer is not necessarily in the areas of our conscious attention. This is where our subconscious divergent patterns come in, allowing the brain to jump out of its original working area and randomly connect neurons to unrelated areas, leading to a possible solution. However, one condition for the subconscious to work is to completely shut down the waking "consciousness", that is, to completely forget the original event. The two modes are like the light from a flashlight: in focus mode, the beam is tight and penetrating, hitting a small area directly; If you dial it to divergent mode, the light will spread out, reducing the intensity of the light but illuminating a wider area. It's important to note that a flashlight can't shine both at the same time. So the secret to being smart is to stay extremely focused, and then when you can't think of an answer, switch your attention to something completely unrelated. That is, concentrate in advance, so that the consciousness is extremely invested; Forget it afterwards, and let it go. In this way, inspiration and answers will occur with high probability. Archimedes, struggling to find a way to verify the authenticity of the crown, planned to go to the public bath to relax completely, but the moment his body entered the bath tray, the overflow of water inspired him. There are many examples of scientific discoveries or other intellectual breakthroughs that occur when the person is expecting nothing and thinking about something else. It can be seen that A good learning mode is to focus on A completely when doing A and B completely when doing B. There is a very clear line between A and B.

If you think of B while doing A, and think of A while doing B, then the depth of the conscious work is not enough, and the subconscious can not be opened smoothly. This kind of habit with unclear boundaries will do great harm to the ability improvement. Li Dazhao also said: "to learn to learn a steadfast, to play to play a good time!" It shows that the habit of demarcation is good for the development of character and ability. Third, you can get effective feedback. In general, we need feedback to identify exactly where we are falling short and why we are falling short in everything we do. Without feedback, we tend to make mistakes, let our minds wander, and find it difficult to improve our abilities quickly. Therefore, it is excellent to have a coach's guidance, and it is also good to have a teacher's criticism. Closed-door practice is not only easy to distract people, but also let themselves linger at a low level for a long time. Therefore, finding ways to get timely and effective guidance and feedback is an important condition for continuous improvement. If limited, feedback can be obtained through book images, communication with others, or self-reflection. Fourth, always practice in the stretch zone. There is no point in repeating what you have already mastered, but challenging difficult tasks can also make you feel frustrated. Neither of them can lead to immersion. A good state should be somewhere in between. The famous psychologist Mihali Csikszentmihalai proposed a model in his book Flow (see Figure 4-3) : When people are bored with their current activity, they should increase the difficulty level; When people are anxious about their current activity, they should keep practicing at this level of concentration, so that they can alternate and immerse themselves in the flow. Every one of us must have such experience: because of the love of a thing, lost track of time, tireless, whether it is entertainment or study, this kind of immersion is rare spontaneous state. But if you want to be successful at anything, you can't rely on this erratic spontaneity. You have to establish solid and reliable patterns of behavior. Because it's not just the interest we're dealing with, it's the core difficulty that scares us. In other words, every day we have to do things that we find a little difficult to do but that we can do with effort, which is to get out of our comfort zone, avoid the difficult zone, and stay in the stretch zone.
