In fact, the 20 numbers in these two groups are the same, but do n’t you think that the second group will remember them all at once?

Why is this happening?

Because the second set of data is more in line with the usage habits of our brains, there is a clear logic and structure between numbers.

Our brain processes information in two ways:

1. Too much information ca n’t be remembered
    

2. Like regular information
   

   But have you ever encountered such a situation: there are people with a population of people who have spoken to you for a long time, you can understand every word he said, but when combined together, you do n’t know what he wants to say, the content No logic, no emphasis on the sentence, just like the messy numbers just now …

   After listening to him for a long time, you even started to have a headache, became anxious, and scolded in your heart: “What the hell do you want to say …? “

   Do n’t feel uncomfortable listening to someone who speaks, he may be even more uncomfortable!

   There are a lot of ideas in my mind, and I even made hundreds of pages of PPTs, but it is not clear … Why is this happening?

   Because thinking has no structure

   When we think about the problem, the ideas in our mind will continue to emerge. It seems that there are many, but they are messy, like a pile of unorganized clothes in the closet, intertwined with each other and piled together.

   

   When someone asks you, can you tell me what clothes you have?

   • “Well … I have a lot of clothes (ideas) …”
      

   • Can you elaborate?
      

   • “I have a blue pants, an orange skirt, a white shirt, and a gray and white striped shirt, a pair of jeans, a blue vertical striped pants, and a black hat, oh yes Now, there is a pair of blue pants (this seems to have just said) … “
      

   • ￥ #% @ # ￥% @… What the hell are you doing?
      

   • “All I said was what I had …”
     

     Language is the megaphone of thinking

     If your mind is not sorted out, it will be like this mess of clothes. You own them, but you cannot understand them!

     It ’s uncomfortable to look at myself, it ’s difficult to understand others!

     What should I do? How to make thinking both comprehensive and orderly?

     You need structured thinking

     The so-called structured thinking is like sorting these clothes in the closet into different categories.

     For example, by season, by occasion, by clothing style, etc …

     

     At this time, people will ask you again: What clothes do you have?

     You answer: I have a total of 208 pieces of equipment, divided into:

     • Three major categories: summer, spring, autumn, and winter;
        

     • The clothes of each season are divided into four series: workwear, casual wear, banquet wear, and sportswear;
        

     • Among them, casual clothes have three styles: pastoral, lady and simple;
        

     • Each style of clothing has 3 sets of dark and light colors;
        

     • Also equipped with 4 pairs of sports shoes, 5 pairs of leather shoes, 6 pairs of casual shoes, 7 bags, 8 hats to meet different needs ..
       

       Is it clearer?

       And, when you need to use these sorted clothes, it will become very convenient.

       For example, if you want to go to a party with your boyfriend at night today, then you do n’t need to go back and forth from all the clothes, try one by one …

       Instead, find the banquet area directly in the already classified wardrobe, and pick up a suitable set from inside.

       Put your thoughts and thinking content in the same way as sorting clothes, and put them into different categories to form a structured whole, which is convenient for future understanding, storage and use. This is called “structured thinking”

       

       If you can get used to thinking in a structured way, your thinking ability, communication ability and learning ability will be greatly improved:

       For example, if the company’s offline stores suddenly lose business, what should I do?

       If you do n’t structure thinking, you might say so …

       

       Clear thinking and thoughtful.

       Another example, your company wants toHolding a large blind date event, you are the person in charge of the project, the project work meeting is currently being held, the boss please tell us about the current arrangements for this event:

       If you do n’t structure thinking, you might express it like this …

       

       Do you feel that the whole logic of expression is very orderly and well-defined?

       In addition to expression and thinking, structured ability can also help us improve the efficiency of learning. For example, I asked you: What have you learned in the past year?

       If you do n’t know structured thinking, you might answer like this …

       

       How is it? Does it feel very different?

       Okay, with all the benefits of structured thinking, how can we have this ability?

       Next, I will take you from the most basic point to help you quickly learn structured thinking.

       Quickly learn structured thinking

       One day, you were driving your own car, wandering on the road, the car stopped suddenly, there was a loud noise and you could not drive, what should you do?

       What went wrong? Tires? Bearing? engine? tank? Or is there a cat in the car?

       A car has tens of thousands of parts. When you find that the driving function of the car is malfunctioning, if you are not a professional car repairer, you do n’t even know which part may have a problem, and you can think of it A small part of thousands of parts …

       

       What should I do?

       After a messy trial and error, you end up with no results. You have to call a trailer and send the car to the repair shop …

       The master took a look and said, “Small problems, you wait a moment … / p>
        

       Or according to the manufacturer of the production parts, it is convenient to return to the factory for repair;
        

       Or according to the structure of the head, body, and limbs, they can be combined into a bumblebee …
        
       

       So, before the problem is resolved, we must first figure out the purpose of the decomposition, and then disassemble and structure it according to the purpose. For example, for a project:

       • If the goal is to analyze the progress: then break down according to the time progress and the process stage;
          

       • If the goal is to analyze costs: then break down by work item;
          

       • If the goal is to analyze customers: then break down by gender, age, education, occupation, income, etc.
         

         The second step: According to the principle of MECE, form a structure

         Determine the purpose of decomposition, and then we will start to build the structure, let us talk about a basic structural form: pyramid structure.

         What is a pyramid structure?

         In simple words: first confirm the target problem, and then decompose the problem into different categories according to the purpose of the decomposition, and then put the corresponding different elements under the category, so that the decomposition is layer by layer, and the final shape is similar to a pyramid structure.

         

         Also, every layer of the pyramid must be strong, and there can be no less bricks or more bricks, otherwise the whole structure will collapse, this is called the MECE principle.

         What is the MECE principle?

         MECE is the core concept put forward by McKinsey famous consultant “Barbara Minto” in her book “Principle of Pyramids”, which means: independent and completely exhausted.

         That is, for each layer of the pyramid, there can be no duplicate parts or missing parts.
