Chapter 25 Pomodoro Technique
"This brings us to the concept of numerical stimulation in game design, and it's fair to say that it's a top priority in any game making process."
Zhao Xiaolu smiled triumphantly and said: "You will get benefits when you level up or complete tasks in the game, improve attributes, etc., the improvement of these values will give you a sense of reward, human instinct is no different from animals in nature, with benefits and satisfaction, you will be keen to love." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu gradually entered the state, and there was a ray of inspiration in his mind, and then he frowned again: "You said that numerical stimulation brings rewards and satisfaction, but how do these simple numbers cause players to 'want' and become 'benefits' in the minds of players?" ”
"Forehead ......"
Zhao Xiaolu seemed to be a little caught off guard by Lin Yu's question, and the triumphant smile on his face froze for a moment, but soon rolled his eyes again, and said:
"It's not simple, compare, the competition between players, who is more powerful, if you want to become powerful, you have to improve the attributes, equipment and other values, so that the values in the game will become a general equivalent in the minds of players, and a lot of values in the game will be linked to another thing that is very enthusiastic in the minds of ordinary people, this thing is usually money, which is commonly known as krypton gold props."
"I see."
After listening to Lin Yu, he suddenly had the feeling of being sudden, and it was also the first time he felt the distant gap between the scumbag and the top student.
Look at other people, you can play so many insights and great truths when you play games, you can't even admit defeat.
"You see, so the interest in learning is very simple, you give me all your money for safekeeping, and I will give you back a little bit for every few hours of reading, so that the interest in learning will come out."
Zhao Xiaolu smiled again and waved his hand towards Lin Yu.
“……”
Lin Yu finally made sure that the wisp of blackness he felt before was not an illusion.
In this scene, the lively Benshan teacher sells abduction, is this going to fool us and be lame?
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaolu was also joking, and what he just said was indeed very reasonable, so he just rolled his eyes and slapped her hand away, and asked again: "What about lazy cancer, procrastination, and concentration?" How to fix it? ”
"It's actually a problem, and the root of these problems is resistance, fear, avoidance, worrying about what is going to happen."
Zhao Xiaolu thought for a while and said: "You have no confidence in learning, you have a tendency to self-deprecation, so you have resistance, fear, anxiety, etc. to learn, plus poor ability to bear pressure, so you will subconsciously choose to escape, the way to escape is to procrastinate, play games, brush Weibo, and maybe a bit of perfectionist tendency, the more you feel that you can't learn well, the more you don't want to learn, the more you want to play games." ”
“……”
Zhao Xiaolu's words that seemed to be insightful made Lin Yu's heart furry, and he felt cold.
Lack of confidence, poor ability to bear pressure, evasion, isn't this what he is talking about? Or is he a scumbag in the whole dormitory?
It's a shame that she doesn't have any intention of chasing others, this girl is simply a demon!
After analyzing so much in just a few words, how bad is my image now? 1 in 10,000 is no play.
"So...... How to solve it, master, you will break it. ”
The smile on Lin Yu's face was a little stiff, and he felt like he wanted to cry without tears.
"It's simple."
Zhao Xiaolu snapped his fingers.
Yes, such a serious problem, is it still simple?
Well, in the eyes of this kind of true god-level scholar, maybe it's really simple.
Lin Yu silently made a gesture of please - please start your performance.
"Your problem is mainly stress, so try not to put pressure on yourself, usually your subconscious thoughts in the face of things such as learning are that I have to finish, I have to finish later, this is the source of avoidance and procrastination."
Zhao Xiaolu seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Yu's humble gesture of asking for advice, and said with a smile: "First of all, 'I must', this is a compulsive word, which will make you resist and resist, you have to change it to 'I want to go' and other active words, and give up 'wait', give yourself a definite time to act, I will do it immediately, I will do it in five minutes." ”
"Uh-huh, you go on."
Lin Yu humbly remembered his notes.
He is not afraid of shadows, and his image in the minds of others is bad enough, but he no longer cares about these when he breaks the jar.
As for shame and the like, isn't Confucius all 'sun', there must be my teacher in the threesome, and there is nothing shameful in learning from others with an open mind.
Zhao Xiaolu paused for a moment, and then said: "The other is the most important point, don't use me to 'accomplish' anything, completion is an ultimate goal, it may still be a very distant goal for you, what you have to do is to divide it and set a small goal." ”
"For example, earn it 100 million first?"
Lin Yu, who broke the jar, subconsciously twitched his brain.
"You'd better earn a hundred first."
Zhao Xiaolu glanced at him and said, "Don't think about finishing a book or improving your grades, first focus on reading a book for five minutes, one or two hours is very long, but five minutes is not difficult, right?" In these five minutes, you can concentrate on studying, and after watching five minutes, you can reward yourself for playing the game for a while, ten minutes or half an hour, one step at a time, and there is always a time to complete it. ”
"But this is still a palliative rather than a cure, right? Learn to play for five minutes and play for half an hour, even if I can focus on those five minutes, won't I still play games all day? ”
Lin Yu frowned again and asked.
Learning for five minutes, a very simple goal, is indeed not to put pressure on yourself, this kind of 'concentration' method should work, but in fact, the learning efficiency can not be improved much.
"Of course you can't learn for five minutes and play for half an hour all the time, have you ever heard of the Pomodoro method?"
Zhao Xiaolu said angrily.
"I haven't heard of it."
Lin Yu implemented the Confucian philosophy of knowing what you know and not knowing is not knowing, and shook her head decisively.
"It's a kind of time management, in short, it's pretty much the same as I just said, which is timekeeping, twenty-five minutes is a standard Pomodoro timer, stay focused during those twenty-five minutes, eliminate all distractions, and then take a five-minute break and give yourself some rewards in those five minutes."
Zhao Xiaolu said speechlessly: "Every time you complete a few Pomodoro timers, give yourself a large reward, extend the rest and entertainment time, and shape it into a desired goal as motivation."
In addition, many Pomodoro software can count how many Pomodoros you have completed, which can be regarded as a numerical stimulus, so that you can see your substantial efforts and dedication, generate a sense of achievement and satisfaction, and some also have Pomodoro rankings to create a comparison state.
At the same time, after gradually getting used to it, the time of Pomodoro is appropriately extended, changing it to half an hour, forty-five minutes, one hour, and so on. ”
