When I was in college, I was told that reasonable planning could double my time. I don't believe it at all.
But in the practice of these years, I agree with time management with both hands and feet: reasonable planning can really earn twice as much time. If you don't believe me, I will list the results outside of work every week:
Read 1 book
Watch two movies.
Reading 14 short stories and classics
8 hours yoga
Is it common, so common that people want to roll their eyes?
But the premise of doing these things is that I don't count the time for work and parenting: I have breakfast at 7 o'clock every morning, I have to review the manuscript, draw up the topic and write it myself; Pick up my son at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, then help with his homework and play with him until 9 o'clock in the evening; Go to bed at 1 1 o'clock at night, and only have two hours left for yourself every day except work: reading short stories in the morning, exercising, reading books at night and collecting information.
This calculation, is there a feeling of earning?
Then, let's talk about how to use time to achieve personal growth goals and earn a better life when one is busy with work.
In my opinion, if a person wants to spend more time, he should grasp both logical thinking and action, and both hands should be hard.
Time cannot be managed,
We can only manage ourselves.
I have tried many time management methods and used many time management tools. I can get a shot of chicken blood, but it is not sustainable. Later, I saw a sentence in teacher Li Xiaolai's book: "Yes, the problem lies in ourselves." I suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. "Time can't be managed" sounds simple, but it is not easy to understand and accept this reality.
In the process of achieving our goals, we need to have enough brains to do the right thing:
What is the most important thing for me?
Why is it the most important?
Can the value generated by this matter maximize the interests of "me"
Thinking from top to bottom,
Do things from the bottom up.
Unreasonable way of thinking has amazing destructive power and is also the biggest reason for wasting time. We all know the cumulative effect, and the result of setting a goal for a long time must be amazing. If you don't think clearly enough when making a decision, you will find it inappropriate after a period of time, and time will be wasted.
So before you act, you must think clearly about the problem.
Readers often leave messages in the background on how to increase their income, hoping that I can recommend some channels, but when I ask the other party: What are your advantages or skills in making money at present? The answer is always the same: I don't know. ...
Take increasing income as an example. We can solve our problems like this:
What are all my sources of income now? Whether we can expand the channels of making money in this way. (For example, if your job is translation, you can take orders part-time; As a website editor, you can write articles and contribute. )
I can't do my job Do I have any other skills or specialties that can make money?
For example, if you are an authentic foodie, you can give the right choice without thinking about which restaurants in your city are delicious and what are their characteristics, whether it is a gathering of three or two friends or a departmental dinner. You can also open a platform such as WeChat official account, and then list the themes of these experiences, with pictures, and push them regularly to get advertising revenue.
Goal setting skills,
First, verify the acquisition results.
If you don't have the first two items, you are ready to increase your income through new study. Don't set a goal in a hurry, but verify its feasibility.
For example, if we want to learn to write, we can first understand how people with writing ability make money. Through understanding, I found that writing can contribute, open an official WeChat account, write soft articles, and be a writing coach. In this way, you can basically determine that this skill is worth learning.
You can't do this when you act.
You have to work hard from the bottom of the pyramid, read more books and keep practicing writing. There is really no way to start. You can sign up for a course system to study without worrying about how I pass the manuscript and how to be a writing coach.
We need to accumulate everything, and we can't do it overnight. Don't let the mentality of quick success and instant benefit stifle our motivation for growth. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can naturally see the scenery.
The above three points are the combing of logical thinking, and then we will talk about action.
Improve efficiency,
Learn to make tasks parallel.
This is not my idea, but teacher Li Xiaolai put forward in the book "Taking Time as a Friend": "Improving efficiency" means "two tasks that could only be completed in series, but now they can be completed in parallel."
We all know that computers are very efficient in some jobs because they support multitasking operating systems. In fact, in some aspects, we can also "kill two birds with one stone":
To give two examples of myself, I often listen to books while taking care of my skin, exercising and even cooking. I also often collect writing materials when replying to messages and browsing information.
Of course, I also witnessed a fitness expert design an interactive game with her children, and achieved the parallel of the two, especially admiring her creativity.
So you can combine some tasks that can be connected in series according to your own state.
Set deadlines for goals.
We set a boundary for many things from the beginning, know the value it can bring, and verify it. Why did it finally go away?
It's very simple, because they encounter difficulties in the process of doing things, and out of instinct, most people will choose to escape.
Therefore, the best way for us to urge ourselves to achieve our goals is to set a deadline at the beginning and list your losses below this deadline. Then disassemble the target, reduce the difficulty of the target, and disassemble it as concretely as possible until it is guaranteed that each task is completed by one person.
It is not difficult to achieve the goals of the day according to the established tasks every day.
Set goals and stick to them every day, just like upgrading a game
