听着各种音乐，耳朵被轰炸，觉得越听越累。
要听音乐，我还是喜欢大自然的声音，像鸟声，雨声，风声，雨过的蛙叫声。。。
也可以是无声。。。
在无声的世界里，你能够得到宁静，能够得到静谥的快乐。

Distraction while studying...
Many times, when I feel too distracted to study, I will watch movie, listening to music, and doing stuff to divert my distraction.
Nonetheless, now I discover, the best way to divert them is just go back to study, and focus on the paper itself. Study needs full concentration, pay extra attention on the activity of distraction in your mind (but not too hard), just don't let it affect you. This is simply to train you how to concentrate in ANY scenarios.

Mindset trapfall
1.
Trapfall: I got to read all the relevant pages of fundamental knowledge.
Correct: I think I have sufficient idea to proceed with the reading, if I have anything leftout, I would know it later.
Only 20% of 100% of knowledge is useful, you don't need to know everything in depth to publish a good paper. You need to get an idea of what happening around you, and only spent time in area that worth it.
For example when I am learning minimization of DFA, I am reading materials to recap my knowledge of NFA and DFA. I have several foundation books for them, and I am tempted to read all of them (300 pages), because that might give me a sense of knowing everything!
But this is not a good way to learn thing, you should just equip yourself with just enough knowledge of NFA and DFA then straight away move on the learn the minimization of DFA which is of your interest. And if there is some fundamental knowledge you lack of, go back and read them, using this feedback loop would save us a lot of time.
2. (At working time)
Trapfall: Let me relax me a bit for browsing the social website and surfing web.
Correct: I should use the time for productive things, and phew, I am several hours(if they are spent in doing unproductive things) early to finish my work.
Social website and surfing web could be addictive, and you could end up in doing several hours unproductive things.
3.
Trapfall: Reading everything means that I know everything
Correct: Reading everything doesn't say that I know everything, reading partially but capturing the crucial idea is what you need to do.
Recap from you past experience, do you remember everything you read? No.
What is the essential things that you read that would benefit you in future? It is the usable idea, analytic method and conclusion.
Read the paragraph quickly, and try to summarize the important idea on a notes, and left out those not useful details.

Working in a correct way
Understand only the essential
First of all, Proceed your work with understanding will ultimately save your time.
But you don't need to know everything, just the essential, which can be 20% out of the whole knowledge. How to know whether the knowledge is essential? The testing stone is if you acquire or well-equip this knowledge, it could save your time in understanding most of the materials that you MIGHT NEED to understand; or it could help you to progress with the works that you MUST understand. The main purpose of acquiring certain knowledge is you could use it, if the knowledge just potentially useful, you should acquire it in your leisure time :)
Don't Procastinate, work solely on single important thing
Another thing is don't procrastinate.
Say the most optimize way of completing certain things where one can think of is A hrs. Thus you have to spent at least A to finish it. If you can finish it faster, the less stress you have, the more pleasure you have later. You have to allocate yourself some space of pleasure, but not spreading it throughout the working time which will in turn bringing yourself stress. Keep a time log on what you are doing which could help you to better manage your time. After a single day, thinking of what you are doing over a day, what could be improve on that, and so on.
Relax yourself while working
But remember, in order to let your creativity flows, you have to RELAX your mind and body when doing your work. With this, you not only can work longer, but also your mind will able to flow more perfectly and ultimately increase your effectiveness in doing certain things. Try to let go all the stress, relax yourself, control your breath(slow, and long breath), let your mind only thinking of your work, but NOT TO HARD. Thinking of meditation, one way of meditate is to concetrate and count your number of breath, after that, you will feel that the external world IS NOT RELEVANT to you, and you are having a joyful experience in couting your breath. Same think for concentrating yourself on your work. Not too hard, yet not too soft :)
Working as Leisure
If you can feel the hapiness in working, as you work in the way of meditation, what's the different between working and leisure? Working can be a leisure too~ If you are feeling stress, certainly you are in a wrong mindset. Stress won't let you go anyway, the only function is to push yourself work harder, but if you are stress, you becomes tired easily, and your mind is feel with stress you can't let yourself free flowly. If you treating working as meditation, you would concentrate on it till finish, yet won't have any feeling as stress.
