\"Finding<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each of us (I really hope for that<\/em>) has ever thought about how to effectively organize our development in one sphere or another. This question can be approached from different angles: some look for a mentor, others attend educational courses or watch tutorial videos on YouTube, while others sift through informational noise, trying to find nuggets of valuable information. However, if we approach this issue unsystematically, we will spend most of our time searching for what is truly important and interesting rather than studying it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But I know a way to organize this chaos. And since my area of interest is IT, I propose to discuss a systematic approach to learning and personal development specifically in this field. This article reflects only my perspective and does not claim to be the truth. The ideas expressed in it exist only in the context of the article itself. I will try to present them as concisely as possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I invite all interested parties read more<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Step 1 (prologue): Determine what you want<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The first thing to start with is the awareness of the goal. Not just setting it, but actually being aware of it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"A person of hasty action\"<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Surely, many of you have had some idea that required immediate action and you were eager to implement it right away. You set goals and tasks, decomposed them, allocated efforts, and worked towards the result. But as you approached the final stretch, when almost all tasks were solved and the result was just around the corner, you looked back and saw\u2026 a sea of wasted time, a lot of other more important and meaningful tasks waiting on the side. You saw futile effort. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At that moment, the realization came \u2014 is this idea really so important that I spent so many resources on its realization? The answer can vary. And the question does not always arise. This is one of the cognitive errors of your consciousness. Don\u2019t be like that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"A person of their word\"<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

You've come up with yet another \"brilliant\" idea. You are determined to implement it. You can already envision the plan for how it will change the world, how it will make your life or someone else's life easier\/more vibrant. Perhaps you will even become famous, and people will admire you... <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It happens. Rarely. Almost never. And on average, you might gather about ten ideas in a week. Meanwhile, you just talk, jot things down, and idealize. Time passes, but the work never gets done. Ideas are forgotten, notes are lost, new ideas come in, and this endless cycle of inner boasting and self-deception feeds your illusions of a wonderful life that you can't achieve with such an approach.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"A person of thoughtless quantity\"<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

You are an organized person. Let's assume an IT specialist<\/em>. You set yourself tasks, work through them, and see them to completion. You keep statistics of completed tasks, draw graphs, and trend upwards. You think in quantitative categories\u2026 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, diving into numbers and being proud of their growth is cool and pleasant. But what about quality and necessity? Such questions don\u2019t trouble \"mindless quantity people<\/em>\" so it's forgotten, and it's back to multiplying and adding, because the supremum of the labor function is still so far away!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"A 'normal' person\"<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

What unites all of those types of people described above? One could ponder and find many such coincidences, but there is one significant thing \u2014 each person from the presented types sets goals without properly realizing and analyzing them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the context of personal development, goal-setting should not be primary; it should come after realizing the aim.<\/p>\n
