Power is conceived in principle. Core concepts
- Life, care, learning, and heritage
- Zhenbei principle -- clock and compass
- Agile mode
Beyond the traditional idea of faster, better, and more efficient, it provides a compass instead of a clock, because how fast people are going is one thing, and direction is the most important. But how to get closer to the future goal. Every day and every time period must be close to the future goal. In the course of your life, every decision is either far away from your life's goal, or close to your life's goal. So you are making choices at every moment and making decisions at every moment. (The Time-boxing method provides us with a good practice.) It is a metaphor that a university lecturer brings a bag of sand, a bag of small pebbles, several large stones, and a bucket during his class, ask if anyone can put these different shapes into a bucket. An enthusiastic student volunteered to go to the podium and grabbed his sandbags and poured them into the bucket. Then he put the pebbles in, but it was his turn to the big stones, he found that the bucket space was insufficient. The lecturer shook his head with regret. He emptied the barrel, put the stones into the barrel, put the pebbles in, And then poured into the sand. Finally, he shook the barrel and saw the three different shapes work seamlessly together to squeeze the barrel full. If you compare your week to seven barrels, the things you need to do every day are compared to big stones, pebbles, and sand by importance. Think about it. What about sandbags are you pouring first? Or the first big stone? One way (Liu run) I proposed three layers: Time management on a yearly basis, time management on a daily basis, and time management on an hourly basis.
Time management in yearsIn March of every year, I will formulate an action plan for the new year and review the implementation of last year. The logic of this plan is: 1) Career/life goals, 2) My strengths/weaknesses, 3) specific support activities. Only after a one-year plan was made can I know if a friend asked me to refuse when I went to sing. I knew whether I had to give up reading Kangxi at night and study the logic, I only know that I need to regularly buy books on Dangdang and make excellent lifetime VIP. The "targeted" time management on a yearly basis helps us save several months.
Time management in daysGod gave everyone three hours a day. Everyone is working in the first eight hours, and everyone is sleeping in the second eight hours. The difference between a person and a person is created in the third eight hours. If you spend three hours commuting every day, two hours for breakfast, lunch, and one hour watching TV, you will have only two hours at your discretion. You may use it to spend a lot of time watching movies, fitness, singing, and playing games with your girlfriend. However, if you save some time for study from transportation, sleeping, and eating, your learning progress will be amazing. If you spend this time in social networking, physical exercise, and public welfare, your network connections will grow equally astonishing.
Time management in hoursWe are a time-sharing system like CPU, but the chips are divided into hundreds of millions per second, and humans are divided into four or five copies per hour. At every moment, we can only do one thing. If we are interrupted, we will have a certain amount of time to waste remembering what we are doing and what we are doing. We need to exercise the ability to quickly switch between different transactions, so that we can make more effective use of every hour and focus 100% on each time piece. With the help of tools, I have been relying heavily on Microsoft Outlook and my smartphone to manage my hours. Divide things into "Priorities" and process them in a regular order. (Time-boxing) If you cannot manage the time in years, the wasted time makes time management in hours meaningless. If you cannot save on every hour, you cannot manage the time every year. These three levels are indispensable. Second approach
Make a plan for your next week and put the big stones in frontThis is almost the same as the most important thing to plan every day (MITS), but here we plan every week rather than every day. The big rock here refers to the most important task of every week. How can we plan for your next week? 1.
List a task. Before the start of each week (Sunday evening or Monday morning), write down the important tasks you want to complete in this week. Remember is to write important tasks. 2.
Keep simple. When planning for the next week, you only need to write 4 ~ 6 big stones. Don't list more than 10 big stones from the beginning. If you don't finish them, it will only blow your self-confidence. In the future, you need to determine how much important things you should be able to accomplish every week. 3.
Place large stones. Check your weekly schedule (if you don't have one, start one, or use Google calender), first list the appointments you have made, and then put your big stones in. It is best to put them in a time when you can definitely finish, rather than the busiest time, and do not put too little time to complete them. 4.
Leave some space. Check your big rocks and MITS every morning and don't make your schedule too tight. A compact schedule can only confuse the scheduled tasks and delay the scheduled tasks. 5.
Complete as soon as possible. If you can, place the big stones in the morning and try not to put them in the evening or evening. Because in the evening and evening, you will only have the idea of delay. 6.
Proud. If all your big stones are finished, wow! Applaud and cheer for yourself ~ Why do these simple methods double your efficiency?
You need to understand that efficiency does not mean to accomplish many things, but to accomplish the most important and useful things.If you are traveling around to accomplish some small things, you are indeed busy with many things, but how many things have you done? From time to time, we may not have completed many things in the past week, but we can proudly say that we have completed the important things. So that you will feel happy, right. Learn to zoom in the stone art and you will find yourself more efficient. The exquisite "management" and greater direction of some opinions are also the secrets of successful scientists. If you are interested, you can take a look at the famous speech you and your research by Richard Hamming, a great scientist. I personally think that if you save time to save time, it means you haven't found out what to do. "Ah, I have done some useful things for the saved time. "In the depths of my mind, I am waiting for a day when your savings will blossom and give you an unexpected surprise in your career, you may think wrong, saving time is just what you feel, because there must be something more that can help you achieve success. You didn't do it. You only do the anesthesia for yourself, what comforts you and what you think is useful. When you are really attracted by what you do, or your inspiration, guiding you to do things day and night, that time does not seem to exist for you, you will not save any time, because you will not waste time thinking about this. The whole world is composed of Time and Space. People are different individuals. If we follow the agreed method in time control, then people and people will be homogeneous. In my opinion, time cannot be managed, and management means control. The power of a person cannot reach the limit of time. Therefore, when dealing with time, I think everyone can treat him as a habit and a hobby. Because methodology should also obey the world view, and each person's world view is different, his time management is certainly different.
My personal opinion is that it is up to the system to manage the time, so as to improve personal efficiency.I recommend a book "personal efficiency improvement system" to help you improve your efficiency through systematic methods and thinking models, rather than just realizing this problem or using a few gadgets. All management theories are just a kind of management philosophy, a kind of subconscious or a kind of latent cognition. They are just used to tell us that such theories or rules exist, we need to respect the existence of this rule when doing management, and do not violate it too much. However, if we use it as a nine-nine arithmetic table or a trigonometric table to guide our work, it will be a little troublesome. After all, management is not a mathematics, or accurate mathematics. Management is fuzzy mathematics: the mother's face is a few acne, the baby still recognizes this is the mother's face, will continue to eat milk; but the computer program saw this "Facebook" can not recognize it as a mother. If it is too precise, it will make a joke. The difference between the human brain and the computer lies in the relationship between fuzzy and non-fuzzy. Our brain is a vague computing tool for management, so we should not apply precise management without rigid measures. Otherwise, we will be overwhelmed. The above does not mean that we do not agree with time management, but that it is just a macro guiding ideology, rather than an overall planning tool to guide specific management work. If you locate the concept function incorrectly, you will make an error accordingly. We are all engaged in management. Open all our plans and see how many of them have been thoroughly executed by schedule without any discounts? Therefore, my opinion is that the time management rule in the ideal state is a double-edged sword. At first, it will inspire you and make you feel amazing. In the middle, it will make you feel powerless, it is always inaccurate and there is pressure gradually. in the later stage, your failure in precise management will bring you a sense of frustration! At first, because you have just come into contact with this theory, there are few things you can take out and practice, that is, there are few things, And your investment is serious. Later, as your early application becomes more proficient and requires more management, the disadvantages of precision operations are gradually exposed. You will find that this is not done, and that is not done, but you did do what I said in the book, so there was pressure. Later, there was more and more accumulation in the middle stage. One day you began to doubt where the problem was wrong. Sit down and check it out, hey, how did the items in this plan fail to be completed in 7%? There will be a bunch of more to be added next week-you will feel the feeling of failure.
