Introduction

I have known time management for a long time. It was probably because I used to read "Seven Habits of high-performance people" and "how to control my time and Life", but I started to think about it. Unfortunately, after graduation, I have never had the necessary skills, and I am working very efficiently. However, I feel that I am tired of being pushed forward by the pressure, which has a lot of impact. I have been addicted for a long time. Some time ago, I read the magazine and found "Energy Management". I also referred to the recently read "Energy Management", so this article was born.

It is said that people like to set a plan, but they often like to give up halfway. abandoning the plan is definitely a subjective reason for planning makers. From the appearance, the planners consume time but fail to complete the task. To solve this problem, the simple method is to take the time as the unit and execute it in the order of time schedule. The formula is as follows:

Work = number of people * unit work/day (hours)

Unfortunately, people are animals, have emotions, and have thoughts. the most annoying thing is that they are also influenced by the spirit, both positive and negative will have a direct impact on the output per unit time.

Simply put, the efficiency and work produced by time management are incomplete for people and may have some negative effects. Therefore, energy management is more comprehensive (physical, emotional, ideological, and spiritual), and more in line with the survival needs of people as a whole rather than a non-working machine.

Time management problems

In general, when we receive a task, combined with our own situation, we generally tend to disassemble the task, list the priority according to the four quadrant rule, and then release the corresponding plan, using Memo (Memorandum) /The form of Calendar is listed. On the tool, you can use Calendar (Live, Google) to make corresponding records and set corresponding reminders, in this way, the schedules corresponding to each time are arranged.

If we follow the corresponding plan, it will be simple. Unfortunately, in our operating system, a multi-task system is running and there are some interference factors:

• Instant Messanger)
• Email
• Mobile communication tools
• Rich and interesting news/Information
• And so on.

In reality, it is hard to concentrate on completing a single task within a single time.

Of course, we can use the following methods to deal with these issues:

• Two-minute Principle
• Latency satisfaction
• Proper rejection
• Entrusting others to complete (Delegation)

Two-minute Principle

In the case of external interference, consider the processing time, if less than two minutes, processing; otherwise, delay or rejection. Two minutes is not a definite number, but it is also called the 15-second principle or others. In short, the principle is that for a short period of interference, in order to respect each other's purpose, but also for personal excellence, you can handle it quickly within the time you can afford.

Latency satisfaction

Specifically, it is used to handle urgent but unimportant tasks, such as quickly replying to a friend's message or quickly viewing emails or seeing interesting news. For such events, the first response is not worth processing, or the prompt is not displayed by default. Check regularly. Wait until the task is completed.

Appropriate rejection and delegated completion are not described.

As these principles continue to be put into practice, the efficiency of the work is high, and the use of time is increasing. Unfortunately, the problem is still in front. I call it a pressure trap. While using time to complete our work efficiently, we have paid a lot of energy, thoughts, and physical consumption. Often, when we get back home, many people take a rest by watching TV, more is the lifestyle of Otaku.

Maybe many people have their own plans out of work. Unfortunately, due to the amount of energy consumed during work and the lack of timely recovery. Some common problems may occur:

1. Stress addiction
2. Spiritual fast food
3. Decline in Body

Stress addiction

It is manifested in the enthusiasm for work, the pursuit of a long and efficient life, fear of the efficiency decline caused by stagnation, extend the work time to increase the resistance to pressure, pursue the so-called busy life.

Emotional fast food

It is manifested in the need for spiritual fast food in TV series to fill the emotional gap.

Decline

Obviously, for a long period of work, no exercise, no diet control, lack of sleep, and so on.

Obviously, simple time management cannot satisfy all our needs as a person. Therefore, it is necessary to contact energy management.

Energy Management

Unlike time management, energy management focuses on four levels of things: body, emotion, thoughts, and spirit. However, time management falls into the ideological part.

Body

The body is the capital of the revolution. Maintaining the high performance of the body is not only what the body can satisfy. Including:

1. Diet
2. Sleep
3. Exercise
4. Health Environment

Emotion

1. Confidence
2. Self-adjustment
3. Communication
4. Effectiveness of interpersonal relationships (breadth and depth)
5. Caring for others

Thoughts

1. Knowledge breadth and depth
2. Time management
3. Creativity

Spirit

1. Character
2. Enthusiasm
3. Commitment
4. Honest
5. Serving others

Practical solutions

Compare the four missing aspects, find your own obstacles, and list the obstacles and solutions. The reference format is as follows:

Combining time management and energy management, I am more inclined to make some improvements to time management.

The purpose of time management is to achieve personal work effectiveness. There are no two considerations:

1. People do not survive simply for work;
2. People live in groups and interact with each other.

For the efficiency of daily time utilization, we can indeed use some suggestions of time management to improve the work efficiency. However, the task-based work is too rigid, it may not be suitable for individuals with a strong mindset (such as myself. However, we can adopt the form of "reverse Plan". The difference is that, in the weekly plan and monthly plan, we can list the work objectives and split the plan, without having to allocate a certain unit of time.

Simply put, change the task-oriented planning method to the result-oriented planning method. You don't have to list the corresponding tasks in a certain time zone to give yourself more flexibility and set aside some time to save yourself from the trap of pressure.

Physical, emotional, ideological, and mental exercises are more dependent on your own accumulation. There are some suggestions for books and magazines:

Effective communication

Effective managers

Men's Health

Seeking medical treatment is better than asking yourself

NLP-a learning that makes people happy

FT

And so on.

Of course, you can also use Reader to supplement your knowledge reserve.

I have some personal ideas and have not discussed many issues. If you have your own ideas, please discuss them. Thank you!
