An inch of time, an inch of money, it is difficult to buy an inch of time. How precious time is. I don't need to say that everyone knows it very well. It is not enough to know the preciousness of time. What matters is how we arrange our time reasonably. Make every minute and every second worthwhile!
Time management
We have entered an information age, and most of the work can be completed by finding appropriate tools. Similarly, there are good tools for managing time and planning. I will not list Google calendars, Hotmail calendars, outlook, and fetion. I have used similar tools, and I feel that Google Calendar and Hotmail calendar are very good. I used Google Calendar all the time, but recently I don't know how Google often cannot synchronize, so I switched to Hotmail calendar. In fact, apart from the differences in appearance, the functions and basic settings are almost identical. For example, you can set what you want to do at any time 24 hours a day.
You can set cycles for regular and repetitive things-cycle by day, week, month, or year, which is very user-friendly.
There are also a variety of reminder methods, including email, pop-up window prompts on the computer or mobile phone, so that you can receive reminders in a timely manner anytime and anywhere, not miss anything.
If it is not convenient to use your computer, you can also synchronize it to your mobile phone. Today, smartphones are sweeping the world with a tornado trend. At present, the average daily activation volume of Android phones has exceeded 0.5 million, coupled with iOS, the emerging windowsphone, Samsung's Bada system, and HP's WebOS. It's almost as easy as a human resource. Each smartphone has a powerful schedule management function. We can synchronize Google Calendar or Hotmail calendar to our mobile phone.
I am currently using Microsoft's windowsphone, so the following uses windowsphone as an example.
You can view what you want to do next or what you are doing on the screen, which is very convenient.
You can view the daily schedule separately or throughout the month.
Click a specific event to edit it. If it is a loop event, you can select edit this event or edit all. If you change the calendar on the mobile phone end, the calendar will also be synchronized to the server, using the powerful cloud to achieve seamless connection.
With these powerful tools, it is no longer a problem to schedule a plan. But the new question comes again, that is, how can we implement these plans well?
It is not difficult to solve this problem. Let's look at it:
Personal Management
After completing the time management, let's talk about personal management. The previous time management only teaches us how to schedule a plan, and the next personal management is to teach us how to complete our plan on time and with sufficient storage. There are many methods for personal management, such as the Prima Law and the tomato Work Law. The ideas of these methods are very similar. The central idea is to divide the whole day into several time slices. In these short time slices, only do the specified thing, do not ignore other things. A time slice does not end for a short rest. After several consecutive time slice, the slice performs a long rest and relaxation. In this way, we can concentrate on improving efficiency in a short time.
Let's take the prima rule as an example to briefly describe it:
Purma Law
In addition to advocating time segmentation, Purma's more core idea is as follows:
Purma's Law: if you put a more difficult task ahead of a relatively easy task. The more difficult things can be the more exciting things that are easier to accomplish. In other words, put the unwilling tasks or work before the tasks that you like to complete. If difficult and challenging tasks are often completed, the working capacity will increase. On the contrary, the working capacity will decrease. That is to say, leave fun things behind.
Yes. Put the things you like most and find the most interesting at the end, so that you are more forward-looking and motivated to start things. Just like eating, if you eat what you like first, will you still eat what you don't like? On the contrary, if you want to eat something you don't like, you must finish it before eating it.
This method may be difficult at the beginning, but it will take a little effort to stick to it. Note: you cannot skip a dislike and do what you like. The Purma rule has a good effect on changing the inert lifestyle, and is said to be effective for people who are often depressed. There are still many specific implementation methods for the Purma Law, which will not be listed here. If you are interested, please refer to the explanation of the Purma law in Baidu encyclopedia.
Finally, I would like to recommend a well-known book on time management-do as much as possible: the art of stress-free work.
