Before the epidemic, I got up at 5 o'clock, arrived in Beijing at 7 o'clock, arrived at the company at 8 o'clock, left Beijing at 8 o'clock in the evening and got home at 9 o'clock.

What are the improvement measures after the expert's suggestion?

Let me talk about the commuting time before the epidemic, because as a young man, I also have children. The child has just turned three months and is about to enter the workplace, but I still have to take care of him. Because there is no sign of Beijing, you must get to the bus before 7 am and leave Beijing after 8 am.

Now the house is an hour's commute from the company, and I feel fine. I can't find a suitable house if I want to move.

I have seen people who commute four hours a day with an annual salary of one million, and I have also seen college graduates who live downstairs in the company.

More ordinary people get ordinary wages and commute for more than 2 hours.

He may have many reasons we don't know, he also has many difficulties and he is really tired.

Don't judge others without their pain.

So the contradiction lies not in commuting time, but in what everyone wants and what they want to achieve.

I think I can share it with you from the aspects of time management and Maslow's demand theory:

Time management should think and do things from the end.

Most people like to make plans for themselves:

Reading from six to seven.

Writing from 7: 00 to 8: 00

Wash and go to work from 8 to 9.

......

This plan is a cliche, written with a sense of rhythm and emotion. After the execution, I will lie down.

If you can't persist at all, the fault tolerance rate will be low.

It's over when you do it.

Therefore, we should change our method of "planning time". First of all, why do you want to learn writing? There has never been such a goal before. Why is it suddenly there?

I really want to think about it. Find your motivation to do it.

For example, I hope to achieve it through reading and writing.

With such a goal, there is no plan yet.

Be clear about how much you want to achieve in order to achieve your goal. Then how to realize it: through what channels, how much money can be earned by each form of realization, and how do you earn this money.

My goal is to achieve 1w in 2022. I hope that it can be realized in the form of "book recommendation, book topic opening and lesson preparation" by contributing to Zhihu and WeChat official accounts and paying some teaching and writing platforms (they will open the contribution channel).

200 yuan, it takes 3-5 days to read a book, 52 weeks a year, 52*200= 10400.

The contribution fee for one class is 500 yuan, and the reading time is unchanged, 52 * 500 = 26,000.

Through my calculation, you will know how difficult it is for me to realize 1w through these three forms, and prove the rationality of the goal with numbers.

If I have to achieve this goal of 1w, I will think of three ways: 1, improve my writing level and increase my writing expenses; 2. Improve my reading efficiency and shorten my reading time; 3. Find other ways to realize it.

Then I will make a plan: finish 1 book and an open manuscript every week, and break it down into how long to read and write every day.

Therefore, no matter how long you commute, you should learn to arrange your own time. How to arrange is to figure out what to do and how to achieve this goal, and then make a planned arrangement.

Maslow's demand theory

Behind each option, we might as well look at this model.

Example 1: an executive who commutes four hours with an annual salary of one million.

First of all, the executive bought a house in Beijing, and at the same time, he had two babies, so his wife was temporarily unable to work.

Then he may face the problem of being old and getting old, so there should be a guarantee demand, that is, making money.

On the other hand, with his ability, there should be no shortage of money anywhere. Why did you choose that? I think it can be raised to the level of respect and self-realization and given the title and rights of vice president. At the same time, this industry is a high-tech startup company, and everything needs to be done to make him make a big difference.

Example 2: The monthly rent of interns is 7,800 yuan, which is rented under the company.

The first layer of physiological needs and the second layer of security needs do not belong, and the third layer is love/belonging, which is a social need.

Commuting has little effect on personal schedule, but it is a disaster for children with social needs.

So this child belongs to the third level in terms of the information collected.

Exodus 3: Newly graduated college students commute for more than two hours.

Many newly graduated college students will face the situation of lack of money, and their families may give them financial support, but because of their self-esteem and face, they still have to rely on themselves.

Therefore, in the first few years after graduation, I will first solve my own security needs, earn more money and live farther away.

The above example is also analyzed from a small perspective, but it can be seen that everyone's conditions and environment are different.

I also need to define my life and work hard. Come on, migrant workers!
