We need to regard our desk as a workbench.
But in reality, we have done everything at our desk, many of which are not part of work (or cannot produce the best work efficiency before the desk ).
Below are some things I try to avoid at my desk:
- Thinking: no one can make his brain think at the desk. If you recall your most amazing "Aha !" How many times does it happen when you stare at the computer screen? If you are the same as me, your best thinking status should appear when you are away from your desk: Walking, consulting, coffee, and shower. The desk is for you to execute, while thinking should be done elsewhere.
- Social networking: When sitting at my desk, I want to get into a working state. I select the most important jobs that need to be processed first, hoping to complete them as quickly as possible. Social networking in front of your desk taries the purity of your desk. So I found that drinking water and resting rooms are a great place for social networking: If you want activities, you can get up and leave the workbench, where to chat or something, there is a social room-a place where you can walk and chat with colleagues.
- Drag and get lazy: Go to QQ, watch Weibo, browse Youku, check emails, and visit the Forum aimlessly. I think that rest and recreation are important parts of a day's work. However, I think it is equally important to keep your desk as a place to work. If you want to do something "entertaining", I think you 'd better leave your desk and find a proper place at the right time and do anything. Similarly, it is equally important to seize ourselves and ask ourselves why. Are we tired? Hungry? Tired? Is the problem stuck? Sleepy? Need to get up and walk around? Find out the reason for your laziness and solve them.
- Sit down and rest: I have been using a desk that can stand and work for more than a year. I have realized that the biggest benefit of standing up a table is not to let me stand all day, but to avoid sitting all day. When I work, I can stand, do, lie down, and the Golden Rooster is independent. The bigger advantage is that when I have a problem and need to think about it (or when I am tired and need to rest), I can go away at any time.
Many writers have a private writing space. These places provide a purpose: to come here when writing. They are not doing anything else here. Once they cannot write it, they will do other things elsewhere. I think we should treat our desks like this: This is where we finish our work.
What are your opinions on this?
