Instead of being nagged for hours by little things, it is better to take on a big bull, take on the fight, suffer injuries, bleed, make it all violent, but make it end fast with a resolution: win or lose. This way you can convert chronic stress into acute stress, which may even turn into eustress. After a boxing fight, there is a brief period of elation. While chronic stress is a notorious brain destroyer that undermines your defenses, acute stress may turn out healthy, esp. if it leads to a resolution of one of your problems. 与其被一些小事唠叨几个小时，还不如和一头大牛较量，接受战斗，受伤害，流血，使一切变得暴力，但要快速结束，并下定决心：赢或输。通过这种方式，您可以将慢性压力转化为急性压力，甚至可能转变为良性压力。拳击比赛结束后，会有短暂的兴高采烈。虽然慢性压力是一种臭名昭著的大脑破坏者，它会破坏您的防御能力，但急性压力可能会变得健康，尤其是。如果它可以解决您的一个问题。As an example, imagine you got a nasty boss, who cannot appreciate your work. You got some important message to pass that bugs you for days, weeks, or months. Instead, of wasting your precious morning on ruminating the problem, charge your batteries with pleasurable learning (e.g. about being assertive) and then schedule that big confrontation. If you have a plan, you can be polite, smiling, and resolute. You can confront the boss, and get if off your chest: sink or swim. 举个例子，假设你有一个讨厌的老板，他不欣赏你的工作。你有一些重要的信息要传递给你几天、几周或几个月。与其将宝贵的早晨浪费在思考问题上，不如通过愉快的学习（例如关于变得自信）为你的电池充电，然后安排大对抗。有谋则有礼，面带微笑，雷厉风行。你可以面对老板，如果你说出口的话：沉没或游泳。

Charting the circadian cycle makes it possible to find the best windows of time for brainwork. The circadian graph below was generated with SleepChart using a log of free running sleep. In the graph, two yellow bands indicate the optimum time for brainwork. The exact timing may differ for each individual. However, the blocks can be easily determined: 绘制昼夜周期图表可以找到脑力劳动的最佳时间窗口。下面的昼夜节律图是使用 SleepChart 使用自由睡眠日志生成的。在图中，两条黄色带表示脑力劳动的最佳时间。每个人的确切时间可能不同。但是，块可以很容易地确定： Morning block: soon after waking, after morning coffee, or after breakfast. The best brain slot may last 2-4 hours. If you are sleepy in the morning see: Natural creativity cycle早上块：醒来后不久，早上喝咖啡后，或早餐后。最好的脑洞可能会持续2-4个小时。如果你早上困了，请看：自然创造力周期 Evening block: soon after siesta. The second best brain slot may last 2-4 hours as well. If you do not nap, you may not fully benefit from that block (see: Power nap). If you are sleepy during this slot see: Best time for napping晚间时段：午睡后不久。第二好的大脑槽也可能持续 2-4 小时。如果您不小睡，您可能无法从该块中充分受益（请参阅：小睡）。如果您在此时段困倦，请参阅：午睡的最佳时间

In the process of conceptualization, the brain gradually moves from high plasticity to high stability. While a young brain soaks in patterns like a sponge, it also forgets at frustratingly high rates. On the other hand, the old age is associated with wisdom, i.e. a great deal of applicable knowledge of high stability. This stability has a side effect: old brains do not easily accept new models of reality. They tend to stick with models that have been stabilized with decades of pragmatic use. 在概念化的过程中，大脑逐渐从高可塑性走向高稳定性。当一个年轻的大脑像海绵一样沉浸在模式中时，它也会以令人沮丧的高速度忘记。另一方面，老年与智慧相关，即大量适用的高稳定性知识。这种稳定性有一个副作用：旧大脑不会轻易接受新的现实模型。他们倾向于坚持使用经过数十年实际使用而稳定下来的模型。

Low probability events carry more information. Average information determines entropy. Prior knowledge determines the perception of an information channel's entropy. 低概率事件携带更多信息。平均信息决定熵。先验知识决定了对信息通道熵的感知。

For every piece of music, there is a tolerable playback range where the beauty of the music is appreciated. A high speed playback can be annoying and the music may become hard to decode, as the high speed goes beyond our processing power. The same piece of music slowed down can quickly lose its appeal. The same happens in speech delivery or in classroom lecturing. For the same information and the same entropy level, we may accomplish highly different levels of signal attractiveness. There is always an optimum speed of delivery and that speed depends on all other factors that power the learn drive, incl. prior knowledge. As such, speed of delivery is highly individual. 对于每一首音乐，都有一个可以容忍的播放范围，在这个范围内可以欣赏到音乐的美感。高速播放可能很烦人，而且音乐可能变得难以解码，因为高速超出了我们的处理能力。同一首音乐放慢速度会很快失去吸引力。同样的情况也发生在演讲或课堂讲授中。对于相同的信息和相同的熵水平，我们可能会实现高度不同的信号吸引力水平。总是有一个最佳的交付速度，这个速度取决于所有其他驱动学习内驱力的因素，包括。先验知识。因此，交付速度是高度个性化的。

Good learning is inherently pleasurable, and without pleasure there is no good learning.好的学习本来就是令人愉快的，没有乐趣就没有好的学习。
