How to manage our time effectively

In one's life, there are two greatest treasures: that is your talent and your time. Because of more and more talent, but the time is really less and more, and our life can also be said to use time to exchange our talent. If the days go by, then we have less time, and talent does not increase, then we are wasted time. So we have to save our time and then use the time efficiently. So how do you use time efficiently? Here are a few of my suggestions:

Do what you really want to be interested in and be consistent with your life goals.

I found that my "productivity" and my "interest" in fact have a direct relationship, and this relationship is not just a simple linear relationship. If I'm not interested in something, I might spend 40% of the time, but it may only produce 20% of the effect, and if I'm interested in something, then I can spend 100% of the time and get 200% results. It is important to work hard and be healthy, but the key to changing your state is psychological rather than physical. To really get into your job, you need an attitude, a desire, a will.

Know how your time is spent

Pick one weeks, record every 30 minutes, and then do a classification (e.g., reading, preparing for GRE, chatting with friends, community activities, etc.) and statistics to see how much time you have spent. All things want to progress, must first understand the status quo. At the end of the day, write down what you do all day, every 15 minutes for a unit (for example: 1:00-1:15, 1:15-1:45 a ride, 1:45-2:45 tea with friends ...). After the end of the week, analyze how your time this week can be more efficiently scheduled? Is there any way to increase efficiency?

Use time fragmentation and dead time

If you do the above time statistics, you must find a lot of time every day lost, such as waiting for a bus, queuing, walking, hitchhiking, etc., can be used to memorize words, telephone, review lessons. Now can surf the internet anytime, so there is no excuse to daze again. When I was on a business trip with my colleagues, they were amazed at why I stayed with them all day, but my emails were answered in time. Later, they found out that when they were chatting on the plane and the car, reading magazines and staring blankly, I took all the emails back. The point is, whether you're busy or not, you have to be prepared to make use of time debris before you have a plan to do it in your free time.

First things.

Every day in the morning to pick out the most important three things, the day must be able to finish. The only thing you can do in your life and work is to prioritize. To understand urgency is not equal to important things. Every day in addition to the urgent and important things, we must pay attention to not become a slave to the emergency. Some urgent but unimportant thing, you must learn to let go, must be able to say to the person no! and every day these three things best have one important but not urgent, like this can ensure that you do not become the slave of the urgent matter.

Be disciplined.

Some young people will say that they do not have time to learn, in fact, in other words, "learning is not ranked priority order." Once there was a teacher who taught the students to do time management, he brought two large aquarium and a pile of stones of different sizes in class. He did an experiment, in one of the glass in the first small stone, sand poured into the last big stone will not be put down. In another aquarium, the first to enlarge the stone, other small stones and sand can slowly penetrate. He said: "Time management is to find their own priorities, if the reverse order, a pile of trivial matter to fill the time, there is no vacancy for important things." ”

Using the 80/20 principle

If people use the most efficient time, as long as 20% of the input can produce 80% efficiency. In contrast, 80% of the time spent can only produce 20% efficiency if the minimum effective time is used. One day when the mind is most clear, it should be placed in the most need to concentrate on the work. The time spent with friends and family is relatively not as clear as the mind. So, we have to grasp the most efficient time of the day 20% (some people are in the morning, some people are in the afternoon and the evening, in addition to time, but also to see your mentality, blood sugar level, rest is sufficient and other comprehensive considerations, specifically for the most difficult subjects and the most need to think about the study. Many students like to stay up late, but it's a good night to go to bed and get up early.

Balance work and family

My family time allocation is in the following principles:

1. Draw a line, make a commitment to the family, and must do, but hope that other time to be forgiven. Set lower expectations to avoid disappointment.

2. Busy time-don't neglect your family as soon as you work, sometimes 10 minutes of thoughtfulness is more useful than 10 hours of companionship.

3, free to steal busy-learn how to use time debris. For example, when your family doesn't get up, you can use the free time to do the work you need.

4, pay attention to the quality of time-not every minute is the same, sometimes need to concentrate, and sometimes sit next to the Internet can be. Remember that your family usually sacrifices a lot for you, holiday, weekend is your opportunity to compensate.
