To Make My Workflow More Effective, I Tried a Lot

Through these years, I just want to find a way to make my workflow more effective. Trying different Apps and devices, I just found these methods didn't work.

So, what is the problem? The Apps and devices can be changed, but I am still myself. If I don't make myself more effective, the problem will still exist for a long time.

Through programming, I just found tools which can make my work easier but ignored to study more to promote my ability. My skills didn't promote with these tools. It just enlarges my laziness.

This is the problem that I notice recently. To make a difference, I try to forget the things from the past, which could mislead me to another failure. I just try to examine myself, figuring out which part I can do well while others need to be improved.

Suffering from this, I believed that the simple tool can also work well. I just forget the tools which I tried before, sold them away and just use my former laptop to deal with all difficulties. It will still accompany through my learning journey.

My programing journey began form this laptop. I just used it to study and realize my dream. Now it seems like a cycle, returning to the past, return to the place where the dream began. Now it is my turn to make a difference.

I use it to improve my typing skill, use Windows Notepad and Word to take notes, making my workflow simpler and more effective. It's not steady to try different Apps without a strong learning skill. Our laptop and other devices are just a tool. Their mission is just to assistant with your work.

Without these tools, you can still enjoy your daily life. But if you don't have a strong learning ability, even though you have the best laptop in the world, you can't even use it to realize your own value.

I restarted my learning journey, just like a beginner. I tried to learn C++ again form "hello world", which let me found many things I hadn't fully mastered form the past learning. I did this for a couple of weeks, walking on the past road, finding a new path which is beyond my knowledge, learning it and do it again and again.

This is my own study journey. Back to my workflow, what I really lost from being effective is learning. Study makes my brain more sharpy. Every tool can work well with a clever mind, and every moment is worthwhile during this kind of study.

I tried a lot and learned a lot.
