Just-In-Time Learning
我們都喜歡學習新事物，新的知識能使我們能夠獲得新的技能，並讓我們做出重要的研究並規劃未來。當網路的興起，我們每天24小時一直被轟炸著無盡的信息，而且沉迷，其實這是個沒有效率的生活方式；並沒有實質的幫助。
Robert Hacala職場達人這次要分享給大家怎樣的安排能讓學習事半功倍！
We all love learning new things. It allows us to attain new skills and polish our current ones. It allows us to do important research and planning for the future.
However, since the rise of the Internet, we’ve been bombarded with endless information, 24 hours a day. And it’s easy to get obsessed with absorbing every piece of information that we can. It is a totally inefficient way to function in life; it doesn't help us get anything done during the day.
If we want to be more productive, then we have to choose what it is we take in. We have to filter the information and focus on the stuff that matters right now. One way to do this is what’s sometimes known as “just-in-time learning.”
Just-in-time learning is targeted and focused learning. The concept is that you learn what you need to, when you need to, and in the amount needed. You should be learning things right before (or as) you use that particular knowledge, and not any sooner. For example, if you are getting a puppy, then you need to learn about the kinds of things that a puppy needs. You do not need to learn about the things that an older dog needs… at least, not yet. If you just owned a puppy, then you would have lots of time before you’d need to research how to take care of older dogs. It seems likecommon sense, right? It is common sense. But so many of us insist on skipping ahead and trying to figure out how do deal with things that are even here yet. It’s a bad habit and a waste of time, yet so many people do it every day.
In the 1970s, the president of Toyota, Taiichi Ohno, created the Toyota Production System (TPS). It’s a production system that would reduce waste, save time, and save space. Toyota produced only what was required, and produced and delivered it when required. This system was based on what is known as the “supermarket method” because the idea behind it was borrowed from supermarkets. A supermarket will stock the items that its customers need, at the right time, and in the right amounts. For example, a supermarket doesn’t stock winter clothes in the summer, and it doesn’t stock summer clothes in the winter.
When it comes to learning, time is wasted when we realize that the need for something has disappeared. If you research something and then it doesn’t happen, then that time is wasted. You could have spent your valuable time on researching something else—a more pressing matter, perhaps. After all, getting things done is more than just learning, researching, and planning. You must take action so that things actually happen. Being productive means collecting information and executing as quickly as you can.
One great way to practice just-in-time learning is to learn how to perform better searches. Learn how to use Google’s search tools, so that you can focus your searches and find resources that are actually useful right now.
Good luck, and don’t waste your time!
