If you have too many things to do and can't finish, these things always erode your brain from time to time, so that you can always deal with the busy and busy situations. InUse a heat map to identify important eventsThis topic describes the concept of hotspot boundaries.Setting borders and buffering exercises helps us achieve a good balance.

 

Your results: You can achieve continuous balance by setting hotspot boundaries and event buffering.

Welcome to the 7th-day study of agile results. In the 6th days, we learned how to review what needs to be improved on Friday. Today, I want to ask myself, at this stage, what are the most valuable things I want to share with you? I think the answer is -- set the boundary and buffer. It means how to create space for your life and leave time to those important things. This is the key to finding your peace of mind.

A brief review of what we have learned so far

1. Learn to use the "3 Principle" to avoid excessive pressure.
2. Be your own master and write a story of one day or an instant in advance
3. Drive a day with three stories, result-oriented light loading
4. Drive a week with three stories on Monday (Monday point of view)
5. Review on Friday to celebrate success and find a way to success
6. Use a heat map to identify important events
7. Learn to give up some things

No matter what you do, the simple system of agile results can well support your life. It is very simple. I have used it well in Microsoft's team leadership, writing, and learning, which proves that it can indeed play a good role.

Boundary andBuffer is acceptableBalanceWork and Life

If you know the border and buffer, you will find that it is a key tool for balancing your life and work, it allows you to spend less time on more things and find a system of your own personal life. If you have too many things to do, but you don't have enough time to feel a lot of pressure, setting borders and buffering can play a very good role in releasing pressure.

No one will set valid boundaries for youBecause only you are the one who knows you the most, and you need to set borders and buffering based on your own status and stages. At the end of every day, you should know what you want most and balance them.

Live hotspot boundaries and Buffering

Note that you must set boundaries for yourself. The following is an example. You need to find a value that meets your needs in different stages.

Set borders and Buffering in three steps

1. SetWeekly hotspotsBoundary
   Set the upper limit for the working time and the lower limit for the time spent on the body. For example, if you do not have a good sleep, you have to take at least six to eight hours off, or rest until you feel good. If you want good results and have a continuous lifestyle, don't compromise on eating, sleeping, or over-working. The simplest principle is to set limits for work, such as "Dinner starts at" and "weekend full rest.
2. Set daily time limit
   For the things you often do, you need to know how long it will take. Don't think there is enough time to deal with these things. Based on the environment and the purpose you want to achieve, it is reasonable to determine how long it takes. Balance it with other conflicting demands. For example, it takes 30 minutes for me to run, but one hour to rest. Blog writing lasts for at least 20 minutes on average, except for special cases.
3. Buffer left
   This is the key. If you are always suffering or exhausted, it means you have not set effective boundaries and buffering. You need to leave some space for yourself. For example, I need to be alone every Sunday, morning, or night. This is how I charge myself. When I drive to work, I will limit myself to 30 minutes, although it usually takes 15 minutes. I don't want to race against time. I always play music while riding a bike, eat breakfast slowly, and plan my daily goals. I don't write a blog on weekends, except for special cases (such as preparing 30 days of agile results .) I always print the meeting materials in advance. One of my most important principles is "dating on Tuesday nights". Everything is around it. Remember there will always be reasons and excuses to block the space for us to create ourselves. You don't have to worry about this. The only thing you need to pay attention to is finding a way to create space for yourself-"How to create space for your own life ?"
   

Looking back, the most important way to get from life is to set time for meals, sleep, and work. Everything works. This is not self-exploitation, but the foundation of all life outcomes.

Why do we need to set the boundary and time limit?

This is the easiest way to avoid high cost-effectiveness issues.

Treat time as a friendIt is also trustworthy. You get 24 hours a day and 7 days or 168 hours a week, so that the cycle continues. Therefore, if you manage your daily and weekly views and view the time on a weekly basis, it will help you stabilize your schedule.

I used to "range-driven ". I want to change the world. The problem is that when using range-based drive, it is often a waste of time, and finally you have to discard things you don't want to lose. What's more serious is that you will often delay your preparation (lunch is late, stay up late to finish the last thing, and cannot eat breakfast immediately .) More seriously, when you do not respect time, you are not only wasting more time on solving problems and forming bad habits.Loss of opportunity. In my opinion, the key to achieving effective results is to act in a timely manner and get twice the result with half the effort.

This is a change from how long it is finished, how long it is done, how long it has been done, how much time you have spent on it, how much time it is worth, and how much time it takes. It is worth thinking thatTime is a bridgeJust like your money, you only have so much money. You can either learn to use it well, be a slave to it, or waste it.Time is gone forever, How to use time will determine the final result of your life. If you want to spend more time on some things, the smart way is to set wise boundaries for these things. Plan your time instead of listening.

What you want to do today

1. Select a region in your life that you are not doing well and set the maximum time or minimum time for it.
2. Find a method that suits you to increase your space for yourself and try again next week.
