Don't be in a hurry to read. Building a knowledge system in this way will help you get twice the result with half the effort!

Do you often feel that you have read a lot of books but have no idea where to start when you need them? Do you want an efficient way to integrate your knowledge and make it a boost in your life and career? Today, I will take you into a new method of building a knowledge system, allowing you to easily grasp the essence of knowledge and be able to quickly call it when needed.

Misunderstanding Analysis: The Difference between Information and Knowledge

Before we begin, we need to clear up a misunderstanding: we often confuse information with knowledge. In fact, information is just unprocessed raw data, while knowledge is information that we have thought about, verified, and combined with personal experience. For example, "Today's temperature is zero degrees" in the weather forecast is information, while "Today's temperature is zero degrees, I should dress warmly" is knowledge.

Pyramid structure of knowledge system

The knowledge system is like a pyramid, with data, information, knowledge, and wisdom from bottom to top. In this pyramid, we not only need to collect information, but also transform information into knowledge and ultimately refine wisdom. So, how to build such a knowledge system?

Three steps to build a knowledge system

Step one: information collection and organization

On the information collection side, one of the main problems we face is that information is scattered and difficult to manage. In order to solve this problem, we can use an all-in-one information management tool, such as Qbox. This tool can help us quickly collect information from various platforms and unify the text format. It can also convert voice, video and pictures into text. This way, we can organize all the information into one place for regular review and archiving.

Step 2: Transform information into knowledge

At the knowledge formation end, we often encounter the embarrassing situation of forgetting after seeing something, and knowing it after seeing it. In order to solve this problem, we can use the card note-taking method to transform information into knowledge. The specific method is that when you read a piece of information that touches you, copy it into the FLO software and fill in the following four lines:

1. Paraphrase : Repeat the message in your own words.
2. Relate to old knowledge : Think about what old knowledge this new information reminds you of.
3. Related experiences : Recall whether there are any parts of your past experiences that are related to this information.
4. Action Item : Based on this piece of knowledge, think about what you can do to change or improve yourself.

Through this method, we can associate all information with past knowledge or experiences and weave a knowledge network that is unique to you. In this way, you can easily talk about a large section of each knowledge point, and if you have any questions in the future, you can come here to search for answers.

Step Three: Knowledge accumulates into wisdom

If you want to further precipitate knowledge into life wisdom, then you need a little bit of summary ability. You can use tools such as Feishu Documents or Notion to build a knowledge base. In this knowledge base, you can divide core knowledge into six major sections:

1. Underlying knowledge : Stores underlying knowledge that can have a critical impact on life decisions, such as the interdisciplinary knowledge model advocated by Charlie Munger.
2. Core competencies : Precipitate a person's ability to support himself independently, such as corporate AI writing, time management, emotional management, etc.
3. Life awareness : record important awareness and daily awareness habits in order to copy successful experiences or avoid making the same mistakes.
4. Life Dreams : Includes a list of long-term and short-term dreams and steps to achieve them.
5. Content output : We firmly believe that "teaching is the best way to learn" and output and share all learned content.
6. Health management : Pay attention to physical health and sleep management, because the body is the foundation of the first five items.

Conclusion: Let the knowledge system be your help

Through the above three steps, we can build a complete knowledge system. This knowledge system not only helps us better integrate and manage knowledge, but also allows us to quickly call on relevant knowledge when needed to solve problems or achieve goals. So, don’t rush to study, learn how to build a knowledge system first! Believe me, this will be a great help to your life and career!
