Two days ago, Sister Cai asked me why I should manage my time. The answer I gave is-serving life. My time management is also phased. When I was a sophomore, I felt that college life was boring and wanted to find something to do. At that time, I practiced time management just to fill my schedule. In my junior year, there were more and more things. I looked very busy every day, but I soon found that my efficiency was too low, and all kinds of complicated things made me exhausted. At this time, my time management purpose was adjusted to improve work efficiency, and I came into contact with Swallowing Frog Watch and Jiugongge Diary. Now, as I said just now, I began to adjust to energy management, which seems to have changed my direction, but it is actually knowledge within a system. Every reading is to improve the whole system and produce more fresh ideas. So, before you start to try time management, think about why you want to manage time. Only when you are clear about your goals can you make more targeted improvements and find your own magic weapon for time management. In the right direction, no matter how slow it is, it is also growth. If the direction is wrong, it is wrong.
The contents shared below are some methodological recommendations, which are the six methods that I feel most helpful to myself after six months of persistence. I hope it works for you, too. Of course, there is no universal truth in this world, and we must adjust it according to our own actual situation.
First, let's make a plan for today with three frogs.
What are three frogs? It refers to the three most important things in our daily life (week, month and year). This statement is an analogy made by the American writer Born Casey, which first appeared in his time management book Eat the Frog. The author suggests that we find out the three most important things in a day, a week, a month, a year and life, that is, the "three frogs" that you must eat. Use Pareto's law, also known as the "28" principle. Spare 20% of your time every day, concentrate on dealing with these three frogs, persevere, and you will achieve completely different achievements in life. In the past, I was worried that the timetable would arouse people's disgust, but at present, the mainstream view of time management does not agree with the detailed process plan, so I suggest you just write down three frogs. But now, I still hope you can start with the most primitive method and list a detailed timetable. Don't think machinery is cumbersome, you know, it can save you a lot of time when making choices, and it won't let you have nothing to do and waste time when you are "free". Moreover, three frogs are sometimes difficult to execute at once from the beginning! Many things are beyond our decision. For example, on March 24th, I had a frog named "Micro-lesson Sharing". The time was set at 8: 30 in the evening and I couldn't finish it in the morning. No matter what the "magic weapon" is, we should adjust it according to our own situation, and what suits us is the best.
Combination tomato alarm clock at work.
Pomodoro technique is the easiest way to manage time and is regarded as an entry-level "magic weapon". Compared with GTD founded by Francisco Cirillo in 1992, it is a more microscopic time management method. Although it is the simplest, it is also the most practical! Using pomodoro technique can effectively improve our efficiency! The use method is also very simple. First, select a task to be completed and set the tomato time to 25 minutes. Only complete the task during the period, and don't do anything unrelated to the task halfway until the tomato bell rings, then draw an X on the paper, rest for 5 minutes, and take an extra rest every 4 tomato cycles. For example, in junior high school and senior high school, we have a 40-minute break of 10 minutes and a break of 2-3 classes. The principle is basically the same.
It is recommended that you use the fragmentation schedule during the work interval.
Let's take a look at the positioning first! Debris time refers to those short periods of time, usually less than 15 minutes, which are mostly caused by "accidents" and it is difficult to arrange accurately in advance. For example, if we take the subway and can't follow, we will wait for 3-5 minutes; Make an appointment to have dinner together, and occasionally the other party is late, and will be forced to spend more time. These "fragmentation times" were not originally in your plan, but they are also an important factor in the composition of time. So, why not spend half an hour making a list of your debris time and think about what you can do in one minute? What can I do in three minutes? What can I do in ten or thirty minutes?
It should be noted that the less fragmentation time, the less things that must be arranged. Don't list dozens of things in one minute. The result is that you spend 59 seconds thinking about which one to do first for one minute! This is completely meaningless. The debris schedule is like a guide, letting us know what we can do next and what we should do to help us reduce the loss of making choices. When waiting for the subway, we will not brush our circle of friends and see Weibo as usual, but choose to do something more meaningful.
At night, the magical Jiugongge diary will appear.
My first contact with Jiugongge Diary was in the module log in QQ space. I thought it was very interesting at that time, dating back to its founder Sato. He has a very famous time management book called Miracle of Morning Diary. Advantages of Jiugongge Diary: 1, saving time. 2. The visual effect is more prominent. 3.DIY has strong performance and is suitable for a wide range of people. Disadvantages of Jiugongge Diary: The number of words is limited, so it is impossible to completely record the profound feelings brought by something, and it can only simply summarize things. However, we can borrow the concept of Jiugongge diary and make our own Jiugongge diary with impression notes. Write as much as you need. After all, only by getting rid of the shackles of the framework can we make more accurate records. With the concept of "Jiugongge Diary", we will unconsciously avoid the occurrence of running accounts when writing diaries, and completely analyze the gains and losses of a day from nine angles.
Plan "combination of meat and vegetables"
Why can't you always finish your plan? Is it because your execution is not enough? The answer is no, in most cases, whether the plan can be completed is more caused by our inability to make plans and make overall arrangements. In the book, teacher Jiyuan compares making plans to eating, which helps us to make plans better. When we go out to order food, if we order too much, we will remind ourselves to order less next time to avoid wasting. But why do we always make plans with small eyes and small hands? When we can't finish them, we only feel that it is because of our insufficient execution and poor perseverance that we gradually lose confidence and start to give up on ourselves. Therefore, making a plan is like ordering food. The first thing we need to do is to do less and do more according to our own needs. Besides, we all know how to match meat and vegetables when eating, so that we can get balanced nutrition and be beneficial to our health. In the same way, planning also needs "combination of meat and vegetables" to combine arduous tasks with simple work. When a difficult task has been done for a long time, take time out to do a few simple tasks to increase your sense of accomplishment, and then concentrate on challenging the next difficult task after a short rest until it is all solved.
Micro-habit:
However, micro-habit was put forward by American writer Stephen Gass. The core point of micro-habit is that you only need to complete a little bit every day, such as 1 push-up, 1 page, 1 page, 1 day, and you can learn how to form habits without any burden. The beginning is difficult, the smaller the micro-habit, the weaker the resistance, the smaller the execution resistance and the lower the action cost. Share here today. I hope it can help you understand time management more systematically, understand time management and fall in love with time management.
