Why the more lazy people are, the smarter they are. We all know that laziness is not good, but in fact, the really smart people don't make themselves confused and busy, but know how to get more gains in a more efficient way, so being lazy is also an ability. Let's see why the more lazy people are, the smarter they are.

Why is it that the more lazy people are, the smarter they are 1 1, and the lazy method is the high efficiency?

There is a best-selling book in the United States called "Lazy People Rule the World", which mentions that it is the best state of your life to get a good job with the least experience, get an ideal income, and then enjoy life.

Lazy people created the world, and when they didn't want to walk, they invented various means of transportation. When the delivery of letters is very slow, there is Internet communication, and all the convenient technologies around us are originally intended to make us live faster. To put it more popularly, it is lazy.

In fact, the same is true for our work. Rather than being lazy, we might as well master the appropriate methods to a certain extent and simplify all the links that should be omitted in our work.

Let your energy be devoted to your core importance, which is the most efficient working method. For example, it is too difficult to calculate data, so we can master the tools for processing data skillfully and let tools replace our brains. This kind of laziness is most worthy of our promotion.

2. People who are lazy will mix better.

In the concept of ordinary people, diligence is the foundation and laziness is shameful. But in fact, in the workplace, without credit, hard work is worthless, your efforts are not the same as before, and the benefits you create for the company are the real capital.

In the workplace, results are more important than diligence; Goals are more important than blind work; Efficiency is more important than hard work. Therefore, people who are lazy just see through this point and know that working hard on the first three is always more practical than step-by-step inefficiency.

Just like there was such a debate on the Internet before, two employees, Xiao A and Xiao B, Xiao A usually got off work within the specified time, and the work was completed perfectly. Xiao B always works hard after work. Who will be more liked by the leaders?

Many people think that little B will be more likable. In a short time, it is true that his hard work is enough to move the leader, but in the face of the result, Xiao A is more convincing.

Because of his high efficiency and strong execution, what Xiao B does is useless and seemingly hard, but in fact, he is procrastinating and disorganized.

3. Improve efficiency and learn to be lazy.

Diligence and laziness, in a sense, are not completely opposite. A veteran in the workplace must know how to adjust the state of diligence and laziness.

They will devote all their energy to major events, and they will also relax and rest in the middle stage, and they will put out a lot of energy to deal with them at the end of more important events.

Being lazy is actually a very advanced mode of thinking, because it allows us to get more benefits with less resources. If we can use our brains to achieve something, we should not start work. This is also the difference between mental work and coolie work.

You can be lazy, so that you can be diligent and know how to summarize more easily and efficiently; Know how to use the tools and resources around you; Knowing the priority of strengthening things is the ability that a real master in the workplace must have.

Ma Yun once said: Don't work hard, but work with your head. Don't let ineffective efforts trap you. Try to become a "lazy" high-performance person.

Why the lazier you are, the smarter you are. 2 1, the result is more important than giving.

What you see in the workplace is performance, what you see is results, how much value and benefit you have created for the company, not how much you have paid.

Some people don't have a "result-oriented" work idea. Xiao Yin next door is very busy every day. As soon as the company is busy, he feels busy around all kinds of work. Ask him what you are busy with in a day, and he may not be able to say it.

Before going to work, Xiao Ha will determine his work goal for this week, and he will be clear about what work to do, so that he will have the focus of his daily work. He will arrange the main work and then do the secondary work, so that he can make adjustments around the goal in time.

2. Direction is more important than blind work.

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter. The most fearful thing at work is to be busy.

The superior company recently issued a survey of retirees.

After Xiao Cui received the notice, the first thing she did was to read the notice carefully, no matter how busy she was. After the study notice, the scope of the investigation was clarified, which was limited to retired cadres. Due to the small number, the report was reported within two days. Xiao Cui still goes to work on time every day and never works overtime.

However, Xiao Xiao of another city company, after receiving the notice, only read it once, and began to work in a hurry. He called the retired cadres of the company and investigated them one by one. He was busy for a week and worked overtime every day. As a result, not only did he exceed the reporting deadline, but most of his work was useless. It can be seen that the direction is really more important than blind work.

3. Efficiency is more important than hard work

Getting to work on time is not necessarily laziness. And those who work overtime every day are not necessarily hardworking.

A new female student has been recruited in my friend's department to take charge of some human resources work. The company is a state-owned enterprise, and she gets off work early. Sometimes at six or seven o'clock in the evening, she is still working overtime. I feel that newcomers are hardworking and still working overtime at night. But the department doesn't think highly of her.

I was also curious why. Later, when I went to her office, I finally learned that when she used Excel, she didn't use simple functions at all, such as sum. She used a calculator to calculate it. Although she is tired every day and works overtime, she doesn't accomplish much. It takes her three hours to finish the work that others finished in half an hour.

In the workplace, inefficient work is a waste of time.

Remember these three principles, learn to be lazy, and don't work blindly, blindly or hard.

1, clear direction

Everyone knows the story of "the opposite direction".

Chu is clearly in the south, but the Wei people who want to go to Chu just go to the north. Passers-by discouraged him, saying that the direction was wrong, and no matter how fast your horse ran, it would never reach Chu. Wei people still said without awakening, it doesn't matter, my horse is fast and I have a lot of money. Passers-by actively discouraged him, saying that although you brought a lot of money, you were in the wrong direction, and no amount of money could be spent. The man who only wanted to go to Chu said impatiently, what's the difficulty? My coachman has a high skill in driving cars!

Wei Guo, who is diametrically opposed, seems to us to be a big idiot.

But in the workplace, such people are everywhere. They have the same favorable conditions as the Wei people, young, smart and motivated, but they seldom reflect on whether the direction they choose is wrong. Many times, I have done nothing in vain. While admiring my colleagues' success, I often don't know where my mistakes are. Some people in the workplace don't have a long-term vision and are working in the wrong direction. They still insist on it and don't know how to adjust their direction. As a result, they are caught in a busy and inaction situation.

And those who seem to be lazy, the reason why they can get the appreciation of the leaders and get a promotion and salary increase is that they are good at grasping the direction of progress.

When the leaders assigned them tasks, they didn't start in a hurry, but they took a clear direction and then started.

When talking about his successful experience, a Nobel Prize winner said, "Think calmly and implement as soon as possible. Direction is always more important than hard work." Once the direction is wrong, no matter how much effort you make, it will only be in vain. It can be seen that the direction is really more important than blind work.

2. Pay attention to efficiency

Some people work hard all day, while others play and work for half a day easily, and the final result is the same. I believe there are many such examples in the workplace. One of the major reasons for this phenomenon is efficiency. Some people are efficient, others are inefficient, and the reason why lazy people can be promoted and raised is that they win in work efficiency in principle.

As we all know, Germans have strong working ability and professional skills. Although the working speed looks slow, they have high working efficiency. The reason is the instrumental thinking of the Germans. When dealing with affairs, Germans require that the details be in place at one time, and the intermediate requirements cannot be disturbed or interrupted.

However, in domestic office habits, it is often that things A are done halfway, things B come, things B are just done, and things C come again. As a result, domestic personnel do 100 things a day, and may only succeed 10; The Germans only did 20 things a day, but they succeeded in 20 things. Chesterfield once said: Efficiency is the soul of doing a good job. An inefficient person will either be eliminated by his own team or drag down the whole team and be eliminated in the market.

In contrast, an efficient person will never be overwhelmed by the crowd, and he can even help his team win by surprise in the battle. It's hard for us to imagine that an employee who doesn't pay attention to efficiency will be recognized by the leader and get a promotion and salary increase. From the perspective of employees, the most reliable way to get these is to "try to meet the ultimate expectations of leaders and make yourself the most ideal employee."

This means that besides being loyal to the organization and being good at execution, you should also pay attention to efficiency. Lazy people have their own ability to be lazy, and efficient work standards are the biggest reason why leaders value lazy employees.

3. Know how to refuse

Many people have seen Ode to Joy, and they all like Guan Juer in it.

Because she is sweet and has a good heart. However, she is often criticized, precisely because her heart is too good, she doesn't know how to refuse others. Guan Juer often works overtime until late, all because he helps others to do things. Finally, once, my colleague fell ill again and asked her to finish the rest of the work. Finally, she signed it for confirmation. What my colleagues did was full of mistakes, but when the manager knew it, he only scolded Guan Juer. Because she signed it at last, she has to bear all the responsibilities. And that colleague, after the accident, didn't say a word for her, and there was no comfort.

Guan Juer's workplace behavior is actually a portrayal of many professionals today:

Although the position is not high, but one person can carry the work of three or four people, and the requests of colleagues are welcome.

Finally, I warmed others, but I was exhausted, and sometimes even affected my promotion in career life.

There is a good saying: not knowing how to refuse is a trap, which means that you may take unnecessary actions, get nothing in return and even have to take the blame.

Why do those who seem to be lazy get along well instead?

Because they know how to refuse, they will not blindly agree to help their colleagues.

Even sometimes the tasks arranged by the leaders, if they feel that the distribution is unreasonable, will be euphemistically rejected.

A person who knows how to refuse can win the respect of others more, while a person who doesn't know how to refuse but often complains often finds it hard and thankless.

Bi Shumin once said: "Rejection is a right, just like survival is a right."

Therefore, in the workplace, we should learn to refuse, which can not only save the time cost of both parties, but also let ourselves concentrate on doing things.

Many times, in the workplace, you need a certain ability to refuse, so that you can stand firm.

In the workplace, those who are "lazy" seem to be lazy on the surface, but they are actually thinking hard.

And those who are "diligent" are diligent on the surface and lazy in thinking.

So, please remember these three points, learn to be lazy, don't work blindly and hard!

Why the lazier you are, the smarter you are. 3 Reduce fatigue and work efficiently.

1, leave yourself a "lazy day"

Lazy day is a rest method advocated by Shi Yi, a mindfulness instructor. He founded a mindfulness institute called Meicun, which set up a lazy day for rest all day. No tasks are arranged on this day, and participants can walk and meditate, relax reading, write letters to their families and so on.

After being lazy, participants will finish their later tasks more efficiently.

In the face of a large number of affairs, we may feel that we can finish the task as quickly as possible by working without rest. But this may lead to work pressure and worry, and it is impossible to improve efficiency.

Might as well leave a "lazy day" to temporarily escape from work pressure and restore energy.

What can I do on lazy day to have a better rest?

Contact with nature is a good choice.

You can make an appointment with friends to climb mountains and go boating in the lake-breathe natural air, listen to birds and watch trees and flowers. Let yourself jump out of the daily environment and forget the worries about work and life for the time being. You can also touch beautiful things. For example, enjoying a painting, listening to music, or doing something you like, they will trigger the brain's reward system and make us feel relaxed. Laziness is not laziness, but a way of intellectual rest to restore energy and face challenges.

2. Write down your concerns and make cognitive re-evaluation and adjustment.

Worry is not always objective. Stress may be overestimating work tasks and underestimating one's ability to solve problems.

You might as well write down your concerns first.

For example, my uncle's colleague wrote down the concern that:

"I can't finish the work", "I may be fired" ...

Then reevaluate the worried thoughts.

Is the idea that "the work can't be finished" objective, or is it just your own worry? Re-planning the task may be completed.

How likely is it to be "fired"? Maybe it is only 5%, 10%, which is basically impossible. At present, as long as you try your best to finish it, you can ask someone for help if you can't finish it.

Once we realize the uncontrollable worries in our minds and rethink and evaluate them, the degree of worry may decrease, thus reducing energy consumption.

3. Cultivate the ability to switch between work and rest modes at any time.

Before, every time my uncle got off work, he would still think, "Is there any problem with the structure of the article?" "Expression can be further optimized"

Of course, an uncle lying in bed will not get up to change the manuscript.

Although my body and subjective will have switched from work to life, my brain is still in working mode, so it is difficult to get a good rest.

What can I do to cultivate the ability to switch modes at any time?

In Pavlov's conditioned reflex experiment, when food is given to the dog, the bell is shaken and the dog secretes saliva.

After repeating it for a long time, if you don't give the dog food and shake the bell, the dog will also secrete saliva.

Through training, the dog's saliva secretion and bell sound form a conditioned reflex. Simply put, when you hear the bell, the dog's brain knows there is food to eat.

For a long time, my uncle took a hot bath when he got home from work, and then put down his work and began to rest; Listen to passionate music on the way to work and start working at the company.

Slowly, I found that my brain seems to know that "it is necessary to rest after taking a hot bath and work after listening to music" and can switch between rest and work modes quickly.

It is really a relaxing and happy thing that the brain can actively cooperate with its "rest" and "work" wishes.

We hope that we can burn longer, release more energy and achieve more results.

Just don't forget, sometimes you need to take a vacation for your brain and make a spa for your mind.

If you are tired, let yourself have a good rest in the right way to relax.

Work and life may be hard, but take time to love yourself, migrant workers!
