Tomato working Method (book)

Text: Reread << tomato time work Law >>

Recently in the implementation of the re-reading plan for the year after the move to prepare, some books read the treasure/out to the needs of the people, to reduce the move that cupboard book troubled ....

Read the book again, write it.

About this time last year, wrote a drag a little bit of reading notes, need to see

Tomato time work method, designed to allow people to stop/observe/awaken and improve themselves in the process

People tend to focus on the future, not in the past, in a hurry, just to achieve the goal as soon as possible, but ignore the whole process of review, stay, observe, summarize, improve, and then go forward, faster and better forward.

There is a learning style in programming called 刻意练习 , and in the << 10,000-hour genius theory >> mentioned, to, to go, to go to the 精深练习 慢 犯错 actual 体悟 , to 总结 .

There are also review links in GTD.

In short, review is important, but it is often overlooked (for example, I ...)

To do a lot of work, the focus is not on the completion of the work, but on whether there are several attention

I agree that interruption is an efficiency killer.

If the day is interrupted too much, plus there will be too much, it probably means that the evening will take time to fill back this time. That's not cool!

What is the tomato working method? To put it simply, make a list of what you want to do the day, set a 25-minute alarm, and start with the first thing.

Very simple practice, but practice for more than two years, feel effective. and their own tomato bell, according to the nature of the task varies from 10 minutes to 1 hours, especially the midnight code to write things can not stop.

And for my lazy people, the simplest way is the best way, such as the rest of the tomato clock, as long as they feel energy OK, can go to the next step, start. If the feeling must go on, then continue. Be flexible, don't be rigid (but you should be strict with yourself at the beginning).

Again, you don't need to buy a tomato clock (i bought one ...). Now put the kitchen in the ash, the reason is the ticking of the sound too disturbing), mobile/web/software, you can find all kinds of useful things, the main theme: can inform you in good time, do not interfere with your work and ideas, can record. (I use it Vitamin-R 2 )

Every once in a while, review all the steps to see if there is a need to simplify or simply remove the steps.

I am a 伪GTD fan, from mania to cooling, using a tool to finalize things this tool (light enough). The GTD steps are also simplified to fit my work scene.

Do not be rigid in the steps, do not be fanatical about the tools, focus on their own, attention to work, tools God horse, enough light sufficient, suitable for their own is the best.

Do only one thing at a time

People are parallel animals, but that doesn't mean you can do a few things at the same time.

At the same time in parallel to do a few things, the price is too big, first of all, do not say the worst of the situation is dry, the best are dry, but you also put yourself exhausted.

Constant interruption, context switching, eventually causing the cpu overload ...

Do one thing at a time, concentrate, work efficiently, and then next.

Or, you can 想法 hang the background, and when you really do it, it 想法 has evolved and matured a lot. ( Pro-Test effective)

So, don't be in 一边....一边.... , maybe it seems very busy working hard, as the <<Rewrok>> mentioned 工作狂 , this is very foolish thing. ( Except for the genius of multi-line doing.

By executing a set of identical actions and preparation procedures, the brain can adjust itself to the best possible state for performing certain types of transactions.

It's a little bit 迷信 of a sensation. But, in fact, it's just like the book says, tell the brain what I'm going to do, get ready.

Another I think, is to prevent interruptions, such as the start to pour water, adjust the computer, IM and e-mail notification off and so on,

A short period of regular rest, can promote the ability of mastery.

It works.

Every 25 minutes, regular rest, 4 tomato clocks after 15-30 minutes of rest

"Heart Flow"

A state of state of mind and creativity.

In that state, the efficiency is so high that you feel you are omnipotent, focused and self-conscious (you will not realize that you are in this state)

Although it is mentioned in the book that it 节奏 is necessary to step out 心流 of the plan from time to time, but I am more inclined to enter this state, as long as possible, because to enter the 心流 state, it is very difficult. How to enter quickly is also necessary to train gradually.

Make repeated adjustments to the working methods in a short period of time

Step fast, adjust 正确的姿势 to get--on how to work gracefully

The stage of tomato time work law

• Plan: Get a list from inbox 今日待办 (self-commitment of the day)
• Tracking: After starting the tomato clock, collect some process indicators, such as the number of interrupts
• Record: Archive tracking data records at the end of the day
• Processing: Analyzing and thinking of the tracking data to get some characteristics and laws
• Visualize: Organize your information to identify ways to improve your processes

The above is a daily, personal feeling is too heavy, and the focus is improving, and no longer do .

The early stage has not formed its own rhythm when, apply, in the late, should focus on do , light 计划 and 跟踪 .

Handling external interrupts

If yes 别人的问题 , assign.

If it is我的问题

1. Mail/im come over, can be regarded as not urgent, finish the tomato after the bell treatment
2. The phone, two minutes can be done, do off. No, confirm the urgency, no urgency, give the promise, add to TODO list, back to work. Urgent, to 4.
3. In person, with 2, confirm each other the latest acceptable time, if not urgent, commitment, end the dialogue
4. Emergency, to the current work break point, note or paper pen, write down the current state of mind, and then do the urgent things.

The processing strategy mentioned in the book:告知(dong something)-协商(when)-计划(todo list)-答复(done)

How to distinguish 紧急 , need to learn slowly.

Handling of messages

If the response time is less than 1 minutes, reply immediately

If dispatch is required, assign

If you can delegate others, delegate

If you need me to deal with, not urgent, reply processing time, remember todo list

If you need me to handle it, emergency? (The urgent thing will use the mail? 伪紧急 )

At last

Many times, our work tends to 无序 , how to assign a limited amount of time to unlimited work, need some skills, and assist with tools, not deified 技巧 , not fanatical 工具 , the most important thing is the person itself, is to complete the matter itself, learning some methods (tomato/GTD), application, Think, improve, that's enough:)
