Kai-fu Lee's time management suggestions

The two greatest fortune in a person's life are your talent and time. There are more and more talents, but less and less time. Our life can be said to be in exchange for talent. If day by day passes, we will spend less time, and our talents will not increase, it will be a waste of time. Therefore, we must save time and use time efficiently. How can we use time efficiently? I have the following suggestions:
Do things that you are really interested in and are consistent with your own goals. I found that my "productivity" has a direct relationship with my "interests", and this relationship is not just a linear relationship. If I am not interested in things, I may spend 40% of the time, but only 20% of the results can be produced. If I am interested in things, I may spend 100% of the time to get 200% results. It is important to work hard and be healthy, but the key to truly changing your status is psychological rather than physical problems. What you really need to invest in your work is an attitude, a desire, and a will.
Know how your time is spent. Pick a week, record what you do every 30 minutes every day, and then make a classification (for example, reading, preparing for GRE, chatting with friends, community activities, etc.) and statistics, it takes too much time to see what it takes. To make progress in everything, you must first understand the status quo. After every day, remember what you do all day. Every 15 minutes is a unit (for example, 1: 00-waiting for a car,-for a ride, -Tea with friends ......). After one week, let's analyze how your schedule can be arranged more efficiently this week? Is there a large proportion of activities? Is there a way to increase efficiency?
Use Time fragments and "Dead Time ". If you make the above time statistics, you will surely find that a lot of time is lost every day, such as waiting for a car, waiting in line, walking, and hitchhiking, it can be used to recite single words, make phone calls, and review homework. Now you can access the Internet anytime, anywhere, so there is no excuse to try again. I was on a business trip with my colleagues a while ago. They were surprised why I was with them all day, but my emails could be answered in time? Later, they found that when they chatted with the car on the plane, read magazines, and were in a daze, I sent all emails back. The point is that no matter whether you are busy or not, you need to prepare the time fragments that can be used in advance and plan to do so when you are idle.
Important: pick out the three most important things early every day, and be sure to finish them on that day. There are endless tasks in work and life every day. The only thing that can be done is to prioritize them. Understand that emergencies are not important. In addition to urgent and important tasks, be sure not to become a slave in urgent matters. There are some urgent but unimportant things. You must learn to let it go and say no to people! In addition, it is better to have one important but not urgent among the three things every day to ensure that you have not become a slave in urgent matters.
Be disciplined. Some young people may say that they "have no time to learn". In fact, another saying is that "learning is not ranked in the priority order ". There was once a time management teacher who taught students to bring two large glass cylinders and a pile of stones of different sizes during class. He did an experiment. In one of the glass cylinders, he first poured the little stones and sand into it, and finally the big stones could not be placed. While the other glass cylinder first amplified the stone, other small stones and sand can slowly penetrate. "Time management is to find your priority. If the order is reversed, a bunch of things are full of time, and there is no space for important things," he said ."
Use the 80%-20% principle. If people use the most efficient time, only 20% of the investment will produce 80% efficiency. Relatively speaking, if the most inefficient time is used, 80% of the time investment can only produce 20% efficiency. When you have a clear mind, you should focus on your work. The time spent with friends and family members does not need to be clearly understood. Therefore, we need to grasp the most efficient time of the day (some people are in the morning, some are in the afternoon and evening; in addition to time, we also need to look at your mentality, blood sugar level, whether the rest is sufficient or not), which is used for the most difficult subjects and the learning that needs to be considered. Many students like to stay up late, but sleeping late will hurt their bodies, so they should try to get up early and get up early.
Balance work and family. I use the following principles for family time allocation:
Draw a line and make a statement. After making a commitment to the family, make sure that the commitment is done. However, I hope that the rest of the time will be forgiven. Set lower expectations to avoid disappointment.
Busy and idle-do not neglect your family as soon as you get into work. Sometimes 10 minutes is more considerate than 10 hours of companionship.
Idle and busy-learn how to use time fragments. For example, when your family members do not get up, you can use this free time to do the work you need.
Pay attention to quality time-not every minute is the same. Sometimes you need to concentrate on it. Sometimes you can just sit next to it and access the internet. Remember that family members sacrifice a lot for you at ordinary times. Vacations and weekends are your chance to compensate.

1. Plan and record all activities or social activities in a week. It helps to clearly understand what needs to be done and where to go during this period of time. In the end, we need to know the actual time spent on these things and the time wasted in idle ideas, conversations, and activities.
2. The most important thing is to arrange activities and social activities at the most reasonable time. Remove the items in the to-do list to the standard start time and end time respectively, and arrange the activity time according to the priority.
3. Use more time to make detailed plans.
4. In case of emergency, the original plan should be interrupted.
5. The first job every day is to plan the work of the day. Do not start your work blindly. The effect is far from the first plan. The most important thing in a day is to plan the day.
6. design the entire process and expected results five minutes before starting each project, clarify the ideas, and then start. After the completion, compare it with the previously conceived results to see what is lacking or excellent and lay the foundation for future work.
7. When you are at work, please stick the "Do Not Disturb" sign and concentrate on it without disturbing external things.
8. If you do not have any important business customers or other meetings, please reduce external interference. Do not affect your attention because of others at work. For leaders, a limited time can be set to give back emails and calls.
9. Control yourself to exclude other distractions, such as Facebook and other types of social media, unless you need to work.
10. Keep in mind that it is unlikely to cover all aspects. At the same time, remember that 20% of thinking, communication, and action can determine 80% of your success or failure.
