Some tips on time management

Objective

Do you have the experience of sitting in front of a computer and having a busy day, until you get off work and find another big pile of things not finished. Assuming this happens many times, I think it's time for you to manage your time well.

Priorities

19th century Italian economist Pareto put forward: 80% of life results almost from 20% of activities. For example: 20% of customers bring you 80% performance. 80% of the world's wealth is held by 20% of people, and 80% of the world shares 20% of wealth; This is the famous 28 principle. So. We should focus our attention on the key things in 20%.

Based on this principle. We should prioritize what we want to do, for example, in the following order:

A. Important and urgent (for example, handling customer complaints, handling server failures)-must be done immediately. Try to complete the shortest and fastest time possible.

B. Important but not urgent (for example, learning new knowledge, making plans)-if there is no pressure on the previous category, it should be done as an emergency rather than a delay, and the main focus will be on this.

C. Urgent but not important (for example, playing Mahjong three missing one, someone to eat)-only after the priority to consider the important things, and then to consider such things, our common problem is "urgent" as a priority principle. In fact, a lot of seemingly urgent things, drag, or even do not do. Also an overall picture. Learn to say no to such things.

D. Neither urgent nor important (for example, entertainment, recreation)-Try not to do, have time to talk about, to limit the timing. Time to stop immediately.

I recommend a better and better desktop note here, to be able to manage tasks more easily, to provide a csdn: Performance desktop. Under normal circumstances. I used this software to manage things when I was at work. If you need to plan your time by day, week and month, we recommend using Google Calendar.

4D principle

Do it today (do it yourself): Do not lose, no matter what can not be dragged, not authorized, in accordance with the priorities of their own to complete.

Delegate it (empowering others to do it): Learn to empower people to send out things as far as possible, so that you can save time to do the most important work.

Do it later (to be done later): To put some off-target activities, secondary work, information incomplete work, temporarily hang in order to wait for the time to deal with.

Don ' t do it (throw it away): put something unrelated to the goal. The thing that is not effective. Should be bad to throw away no matter what.

Detailed approach

1. Take about 20 minutes to make an all-day plan after you get to the company. Prioritize your work and list them with sticky notes. Evening learning content is adjusted in Google Calendar.

2. To be flexible, it is generally only necessary to plan for 50% of the time. The remaining 50% is flexible time. To cope with all kinds of interruptions and unexpected things.

3. Give the whole thing a general finish time. This way, you can focus on the task at hand, without distractions.

4. Each completion of a time task can properly reward themselves, a small celebration. For example: to pour a glass of water to drink, eat an apple. Go downstairs and have a round.

5. A day or even a week before bedtime needs a small summary of the plan, whether according to the plan to proceed smoothly. Whether time needs to be arranged again.

Postscript

But I have some experience in my own time management. may not be suitable for all people. We still have to practice on our own. To the planning of the continuous small adjustment, suitable for their own is the best.
