Core Principle: TRIZ is the theory of inventive problem solving. By analyzing the evolution patterns of technical systems, it provides systematic innovation methods. The contradiction matrix is its core tool for resolving technical contradictions.
Application Method: Identify technical contradictions (improving one parameter causes another to deteriorate), find corresponding position in 39Γ39 contradiction matrix, get recommended inventive principles, guide innovative solution design.
Practical Cases: Product design improvement, engineering technical challenges, process optimization, system performance enhancement and other scenarios requiring breakthrough of technical bottlenecks.
Decomposition Principle: Decompose complex problems hierarchically according to MECE principle, forming tree structure. Each level must be mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive, ensuring analysis logic and completeness.
Construction Method: Start from problem root, decompose layer by layer downward, sub-nodes under each node must satisfy MECE principle. Visually show problem structure through tree diagram, facilitate systematic analysis.
Applicable Scenarios: Business process organization, problem root cause analysis, market research planning, knowledge system construction and other complex problems requiring structured thinking.
Construction Steps: List all optional plans, determine evaluation criteria, assign weights to each criterion, score each plan under each criterion, calculate weighted total score, select highest scoring plan.
Scoring Techniques: Use 1-10 scale for quantitative evaluation, maintain scoring criteria consistency, consider quantitative and qualitative factors, conduct sensitivity analysis when necessary to verify decision stability.
Typical Applications: Career choices, supplier selection, investment plan evaluation, product feature priority ranking and other decision scenarios requiring comprehensive multiple factors.
Thinking Transformation: Instead of asking "how to succeed," ask "how to fail," then avoid factors leading to failure. Predict risks in advance, develop preventive measures.
Implementation Method: List all possible failure causes, analyze probability and impact of each failure, develop corresponding prevention and response measures, establish risk monitoring mechanisms.
Value Demonstration: Project risk management, investment decisions, entrepreneurship planning, important life choices and other high-risk decision scenarios, helping improve decision success rates.

Select innovation object β apply SCAMPER seven techniques one by one β record all ideas β evaluate and filter feasible solutions β further optimize and improve. Suitable for product innovation, service improvement, workflow optimization and other innovation scenarios.
Learning Mechanism: Find similar structures, processes or principles from different domains, transfer successful experiences to current problems. Discover new solution ideas and innovation directions through analogy.
Implementation Strategy: Analyze essential characteristics of problems, seek similar cases in other domains, extract transferable core principles, adaptively transform and apply to target scenarios.
Classic Cases: Biomimetics (learning from nature), business model innovation (cross-industry learning), management method transfer (from sports, military to enterprise) and other cross-domain innovation applications.
Weekly select 1 life scenario (like "how to make children actively do homework"), use at least 3 mental models to design solutions. Through multi-model comparison, deepen understanding of each model's characteristics and applicable scenarios.
Through repeated practice, cultivate multi-angle thinking habits, enhance comprehensiveness and depth of problem analysis, strengthen flexibility and accuracy of model application.
Create "Common Logical Fallacies Checklist" posted at desk, check against it when encountering arguments. Establish cognitive bias self-check mechanism, improve thinking quality.
Only seeking information supporting one's views, ignoring contrary evidence
Over-relying on initial information obtained, affecting subsequent judgments
Making judgments based on information accessibility rather than accuracy
Only focusing on success cases, ignoring failure cases
Actively seek contrary evidence, delay judgment time, solicit different viewpoints, establish decision review mechanisms, gradually improve thinking objectivity and accuracy.
Upgrade from "flat mind maps" to "three-dimensional dynamic brain maps" (recommend MindMeister), strengthen systematic thinking ability. Enhance thinking three-dimensionality and dynamics through visualization tools.
Support three-dimensional presentation of timelines, hierarchical relationships, causal chains
Nodes can expand/collapse, support drilling and zooming, convenient for complex thinking organization
Support multi-person collaborative editing, facilitate team thinking collision and knowledge co-construction
Complex project planning, knowledge system construction, meeting minutes organization, study note creation and other scenarios requiring structured thinking organization.
After learning each knowledge point, record explanation videos in language elementary students can understand (publish on TikTok/Xiaohongshu). Test your understanding level by teaching others, discover knowledge blind spots.
Select knowledge point or concept to learn
Explain in simplest language to laypeople
Find unclear explanations, go back to re-learn
Reorganize with more concise and clear language
Both improve learning effects and accumulate content creation materials, forming positive cycle of learning-output-monetization.
Force entry into "flow state." Flow state is a psychological state of high investment, enjoyment and immersion when focusing on certain activities. In this state, people forget time passage and surrounding environment, completely invest in what they're doing.
Can improve focus through meditation, deep breathing exercises. Spend 10-15 minutes daily on meditation practice, focus on breathing. When distracting thoughts appear, gently bring attention back to breathing. Long-term persistence helps improve focus, making it easier to enter flow state.
Set clear specific learning objectives
Establish timely learning effect feedback mechanisms
Task difficulty matches personal ability
Create focused learning environment
Gradually extend focus time, starting from 15 minutes, gradually increasing to 2-3 hours. Combined with Pomodoro Technique, find optimal rhythm between focus and rest.
