Time management-an important concept ignored!

[Fixed Link: http://www.autumoon.com/post/2010/01/08/timemanagementprinciple.aspx]

Time management is not so much an art as a kind of life skill. Art requires a long period of study and research, and then it also takes a lot of time and energy to elaborate. artists can spend more than a dozen hours a day to think about how to create art, but who will spend more than a dozen hours planning what to do today? The skill of life is an efficient methodology for people to do things after a long time of life and work. skills are often not advanced and seem to be simple to understand, but the difference is that, if you attach importance to, learn, and master it, you can control your work and life to control your life, But if you ignore it because it is not "advanced, so your life and work are often difficult to continue to take a new step.

When each of us comes to this world, there are many unequal conditions in the sky. "Everyone is equal" is just a goal and a slogan that requires human efforts to achieve the day after tomorrow. People are "born equal", which is probably time. God gave us a lifetime of time, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes a hour, 60 seconds a minute, no one would spend more than 1 minute 1 second a day, no one will miss 1 minute 1 second in a day. Time is a resource that each of us can control freely after we break away from the society of slavery. However, the easier it is to obtain resources, the less scarce it seems. We tend to ignore it or cherish it. On the contrary, time is the most scarce resource in life! Someone said, "I am short of money! There is no shortage of time, but every day it is quite idle ." As we often say, money is an external thing. If money is born, money cannot be brought to death. If you are short of money, you can earn money. As long as you have arm and legs, even if you go to the restaurant to wash dishes, it is a source of income. If you have a motivated heart, you will not wash dishes in the restaurant all your life. However, the time is different. In any case, it is impossible to change the time to 25 hours a day. Time flies. When I write it here, the good times at the beginning of this article will no longer come back. Oh, the last sentence will not come back!

We need to clarify why time is fair to everyone. The time mentioned here does not mean the service life. The service life is long and short. Some people are physically good, they like to exercise, and their mentality is peaceful and cheerful. They may be able to survive for a hundred years. Some people are physically hard to work and have poor living conditions, it may die young. From the perspective of life, the difference between people is uneven, but let alone the time we spent in the past ten or even two decades before taking part in the work, and then let go of the time that we enjoyed the family after retirement, the period in the middle can really be used by each of us to improve the quality of life and realize the value of life. In fact, it is almost a long time, think about the amount of time we have to spend to get rid of meals, sleep, and entertainment?

After this calculation, we will share a feeling that we are very busy every day! Yes, we are very busy every day. If your work is leisurely, you will not be aware of the concept of "time management. However, I believe that the time spent by most office workers, even college students and graduate students is very tight and precious, every one of us is always hoping to constantly improve ourselves, keep improving, be promoted, and be recognized by others ...... As a result, we have too many things to do. However, it's not because we have to work hard, so we have to allocate two more hours to our daily time account, and we don't know who is so idle and boring every day, he just spent two hours on his time account to make up for the loss. Time is the most equitable for everyone. This is the most basic principle we should keep in mind when learning and practicing time management.

So what should we do? A race against time may be the first way most readers can think. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the race against time, but this method is just like a strong heart needle, can only temporarily play a rescue role, through the explosive force to play a certain effect, but it is always not a long-term injection of strong heart needle. Similarly, if a person is always racing against time, then he will be very tired, just like a slave of time. Because of this race, time will never stop and lose. Even if humanity is extinct, as long as the universe is still there, time will continue to flow slowly. Therefore, we need a more reasonable and efficient way to manage and plan our own time on weekdays.

I mentioned the concept of "time account". This is what we are born with. When we were born, we opened the account and automatically sold the account when we died, so we don't need to do it. Assume that you have a bank account with a fixed price of 100 yuan per day, but you have too many things to buy, and there will be a lot of new purchase demands and desires every day, however, the money in your account cannot be saved together. If you don't pay 100 yuan today, it will be invalidated and a new 100 yuan will be saved tomorrow. What should I do? Obviously, money will be spent on cutting edge products. If you buy a bunch of gadgets that you want to buy but are less important to you, you will naturally have no money to buy expensive but important items. If you spend the same amount of money every day, you can take a long time to see what you have bought, pick and pick up, a few important items, but a lot of irrelevant, isn't money wasted like this?

Now let's go back to the theme and change "money" to "time. In addition to sleeping, eating, and distracting times every day, we spend seven or eight hours working during the day and two or three hours learning and charging at night. I am optimistic that there are 11 hours of work every day (in fact, this is already a heavy load). How can we arrange these 11 hours? Obviously, it is impossible for us to save two hours of data every day. By the end of the month, we will save the data together for consumption. In the past 11 hours, we must first take care of the most urgent and important tasks. The most obvious advantage of doing so is that after processing, we will feel that we can live very easily today. The rest of the time to deal with important but less urgent things, because important, it means that these things are very valuable to your personal development, you can work slowly without an emergency. Urgent but unimportant things should be done at the end; otherwise, they will fall into the endless vortex of time. What should we do if it is neither urgent nor important? Well, if you think of these things after a while, you should reconsider their importance and urgency. Some things may increase in importance or urgency, based on my past experience, the vast majority of such things will be forgotten. If you forget it, we often forget things. This is not a brain problem. According to freuch, this is the root of our subconscious and we don't have to remember it.

In the Ming Dynasty, a man named wenjia wrote a poem called "tomorrow's song", in which: "Tomorrow's tomorrow, how many things are there tomorrow. I will be born tomorrow, and everything will become a success ." It has become a famous sentence circulating in the ages. This poem encourages us not to relax, not to push everything to tomorrow, and to push things to the day after tomorrow. I think that as long as we are doing things seriously, we don't have to be excited about tomorrow's song. There are many things that we can do right away without having to do it, therefore, do not feel guilty because things are pushed to tomorrow. This feeling will seriously affect the efficiency and quality of our work and study. Of course, it is not easy to think that things will be postponed until tomorrow. Once a task is postponed, we should first consider whether to adjust its priority accordingly. For example, if an important task is completed within one month, it is an important but not urgent task. The priority is assumed to be level B, you can divide the time after completing A-level or even A +-level tasks every day to work slowly. After all, there are some things that need to be done by multiple parties, not by one person or two times. Time passes by one day, and some progress is also made at. However, with the approaching deadline, the priority of this incident will be constantly adjusted. B → B + →, if the last three days are left, but only 40% is completed, you have to upgrade it to A + level, that is, "the most urgent and important "!

The biggest difference between "Time Management" and "race against time" is that if you race against time, you may hear someone say, "I didn't know the importance of time before, so I did things for a long time, I can make 10 bottles of soy sauce a day. Now I understand, hurry up and try 20 bottles of soy sauce a day." In terms of time management, I may hear someone say: "today, it is very difficult to facilitate the big sale of blackberry introduced by China Mobile. I spent 5 million of the intermediary fee, tired, and went home to bed. As for how soon the soy sauce is used up at home, hi, let's talk about it tomorrow." Although there are very few transactions that can be recorded into 5 million accounts, most people may not be able to meet them all their lives, but as long as we finish the most important thing every day, we can all go to bed more securely.

If the race against time for a long period of time is quite cool, sticking to management time is called a clever job. The Social Structure of mankind is a pyramid. There are always very few successful people standing at the top of the tower. However, when people below see them, they are often amazed: "How could he have completed so many important events in his life!" It seems that the subconscious is asking himself: "He will not have 48 hours a day, right ?" God may have taken care of them in terms of opportunities, but time is equal to everyone. I have hardly heard of any successful people who have no secretaries or even secretaries. These people only have 24 hours a day and need to go to bed, eat, and rest. Therefore, they only need to deal with the most urgent and important things every day. After asking about the important but not urgent things, they can handle other things with the secretary. As the President of a super power, Clinton is still busy with economic construction and has time to fall in love and file a lawsuit. This shows that the time has been well managed. Bush is still busy eating cookies, I don't know if it is in a hurry.

This article only aims to emphasize the concept of time management and gives a rough overview of the specific details. The purpose is only to hope that you will pay attention to this concept, every one of us is eager for progress and success, but only by finding the right and right way can we get twice the result with half the effort. However, time management should not be a big but empty phrase. It must be practical and do not need to spend too much time and effort, in this way, we can be integrated into our daily work and life. This is the topic that I will discuss with you in subsequent articles.
