Illustration of the tomato work method "Treat time as a friend" and "Register of small strong": three books on how to improve the efficiency of time utilization

A few days ago, I read three books about how to improve the efficiency of using time (that is, work efficiency), "tomato work method diagram", "Treat time as a friend", and "small strong title".

Illustration of the tomato working method
Let's talk about the "tomato working method", the first time I heard about this method to improve work efficiency. The basic idea is to divide the work time into fragments that take up to 25 minutes, and concentrate on completing a task within 25 minutes, so that you can rest between fragments. The idea behind the tomato work method is that the inventor saw a so-called kitchen timer similar to a tomato (I 've seen it at Ikea, I can wind it up, and set it to make an alarm after a certain time ). The author provides some experiences and principles on how to do a good job in tomato. In The Big aspect, the most important thing is to differentiate the importance of work and task urgency, do not affect important tasks by irrelevant easy-to-solve tasks. Instead, break down large tasks into small tasks. In a small aspect, we try to record the efficiency of time utilization, and record the daily working hours of tomatoes (that is, 25 minutes of concentrated working hours) number and quality (number of interruptions, etc.), and must be adjusted in a timely manner according to the record.

This book is relatively thin, with only 136 pages. About 1/3 of each page is a diagram that may not be directly related to the content. The word "illustration" in the title is basically not real. Reading speed and ease. However, the content of the book is messy and lacks a clear outline.

In addition, I feel that this tomato work method basically does not jump out of the Ideas About Time Management in Drucker's "effective managers. I can't help but admire the master again.

The author of "Treat time as a friend" is New Oriental. The book tells you how to use time, but this book is actuallyInspirationalBooks. The author despise the successful books on the market, but I guess the book will be put in the inspirational book by the bookstore owner to become a neighbor with the successful learning, or simply put in the "successful/inspirational" class, mixed together. Dangdang's book is unfortunately classified as "success and motivation.

I feel like the author of hacker and painter. However, since the subject of this book is inspirational, I feel that the author is a little confused about his disdainful success in learning books. The whole book does not have a very strict logical reasoning process and conclusion.

The author has never given a strict definition of "mind. At the beginning, I basically referred to my attitude towards life and work. Later, I felt that I basically referred to my thoughts. After all, this is an external word, and the English word is mind.

The basic idea I have summarized in my book is: to have a positive attitude (Chapter 1), to learn to control your emotions and mentality (chapter 2), and to improve work efficiency, record the time usage (Chapter 3, which is the same as the "tomato Working Method" in the illustration of the tomato working method). The individual and collective experience is not necessarily reliable, believe in science (chapter 4), despise "successful learning" (chapter 5), fear difficulties, do not feel inferior, and improve efficiency (Chapter 6). Change from now on and be patient (chapter 7)

In order to attract more attention and orders, the title of Xiaoqiang became invalid. The actual content is about gdt's practical methods. The so-called gdt, according to this book, is named after the book Getting Things Done: The art of stress-free productivity, and later became a time management method.

The method mentioned in the book still does not jump out of the Ideas About Time Management in Drucker "effective managers. The basic idea is to have a general picture, determine the target, analyze the importance and urgency of the work and tasks, properly record the time usage, write the task list, and make plans, use 80% of the time and energy to deal with 20% of the important things and set the unbroken time (similar to the "tomato work" method ).

I think this book is still usable. If you have not read the time management book, you can check it out.
