Procrastination is a term in psychology that refers to attempts to escape from real life through the search 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 of knowing something if the commitment to translate and practice theoretical experience is not enough? This is the main task - to overpower yourself and move on. Only then can the book change life for the better.
Banal reading will not change anything. According to statistics, 70% of people who came trainings, courses, wanted something, but could not overcome laziness, do not come to success. The worst outcome is disappointment.
Why books do not change our lives:
· The 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 all ended. What to do with assessment and where to put knowledge? Few people thought about this.
How is the problem manifested? People strive to get one, second, third higher education. They try to demonstrate their knowledge, exalting themselves in this aspect over others.
How to solve the problem? Put knowledge into practice, go a real goal, not limited to obtaining knowledge.
· Miracles are wonderful. Many regard knowledge as a door to a certain substance where everything is fine and good, and goals are achieved by themselves. Here are just no magic.
How is the problem manifested? 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 in order to just read is the wrong tactic.
How is the problem manifested? We read, imagine what we learned. We take it as something fantastic, abstract.
How to solve the problem? Take books seriously, take every line you read as the key to achieving goals.
· Oversaturation of information.
How is the problem manifested? The enormous amount of information from which it is difficult to choose the useful presses on us. Around a lot of unnecessary, which creates tension. Collection, analysis, sorting of new tips and methods.
How to solve the problem? Do not be afraid of false information, be prepared for analysis. Compare the knowledge that has already been accumulated to assess the degree of usefulness and effectiveness of new data.
The most universal tip - go ahead! Do not stop, do not expect a miracle. A miracle is what you can create for yourself. Use books in order to improve your methods of work, study, life.
