? Boring around Zhihu, I saw a question like this: What if I don't have time to do what I like?
You are busy with work every day, and your salary is meager, so you have no time to do what you want. What's the point of such a life?
No time for breakfast, no time for exercise, no time for reading, no time for going home, no time for doing what I want, no time. ...
We have long been used to saying that we have no time.
There is a growing voice against time management on the Internet. They believe that time is constantly passing, regardless of human will. What we can manage is not time, but ourselves. Therefore, time management is a lie!
I don't like playing word games, and I don't like "arguing". Just give me an example to say my opinion.
There is a disease called chronic fatigue syndrome, CFS for short. The specific definition is the feeling of intensity fatigue or physical discomfort for more than 6 months.
In fact, this is a very serious disease. Although it is called chronic fatigue syndrome, its relationship with simple fatigue is just like the difference between Ebola virus and common flu.
Therefore, in order to make people pay attention to its treatment, the American medical community renamed it "systemic fatigue intolerance" for a while, referred to as SEID.
Such a name looks more terrible and more similar to the symptoms of the disease, but what is the result? Due to the complexity of the name, people pay less attention to it, which completely deviates from the original intention of renaming. Therefore, the current mainstream view is still chronic fatigue syndrome.
Just like the dispute between right and wrong in time management and personal management, they just have different views, and the purpose is to help practitioners become better themselves.
Today, I admit that time is difficult to manage, but I don't think the existence of this statement has lost its meaning. At least, because of its existence, we have a clear goal and the direction of progress.

I've been reading the topic of time management for more than half a year, and I've shared more than 50 related articles. 10W+ articles occasionally pop up, but there's always a doubt that bothers me, that is, what is time management for?
The answer I got was: In order to live a better life and set aside more time to do what I want to do.
It took me more than half a year to understand this answer. I used to think that time management just helps people "create" more time and find better time management tools.
It turns out that I was wrong. This idea of limiting time management to the pursuit of higher efficiency is too narrow, and the resulting disadvantages are increasingly prominent. Soon we found that our energy couldn't keep up and our bodies began to be overwhelmed.
So I also began to adjust my direction and shift my focus to the field of energy management, and I will share more articles related to this in the future.

Any friend who has systematically studied time management will inevitably encounter a topic-recording time.
As the cornerstone of time management, the purpose of recording time is to help people sort out the current situation of personal use of time, find the black hole of time and make targeted improvements.
Our topic today is about meaning. What is meaning?
Meaning is like a castle in the air and Jingyue in the water. There is no quantitative standard. The poem and the distance you want to pursue may seem to some people to be a manifestation of being out of tune.
Therefore, in terms of meaning, everyone pursues different meanings, and it is inevitable that it will be biased to discuss the meaning in detail.
However, there are still some * * * characteristics on the road of pursuing the meaning of life, and there is a unified path to follow. How to find the blank time to realize your dreams is one of them.
Today, I will share with you two related methods-recording time and analyzing the essence of event utilization time.

Let's start with the recording time.
My friend knew that I was reading a book about time management and gave me a book called "The Most Effective Year" by Chris, who was rated as the most effective year in history by TED. Bailey, he spent a whole year trying various ways to improve efficiency. However, at present, there is no mainland version of this book, and the version given by a friend is also from Taiwan Province Province.
This picture is from a book. I spliced it with P-picture software. The first picture reflects a typical state of our daily use time, and the second picture is our goal.
Comparing the two pictures, first of all, we can see that the sleep time has basically not changed. Of course, if you sleep for more than 7 hours, it is necessary to compress. Instead, you need to consciously increase your sleep time. After all, health comes first.
Third, the time spent doing chores such as housework has dropped significantly.
Through the above three points, we can create more interpersonal communication and free time so as to do what we like.
The charm of time log is that it can break all illusions and help us uncover the gap between ideal and reality. You always say that you are busy, but the time log will tell you that you are not qualified to say that you are busy at all, but you can't manage your time.
And if you do well enough, the time log will still reflect all the bad details and tell us where we can improve and strive for perfection, so as to continuously improve our ability to manage time and ourselves.

The second point is to learn to use time to analyze the nature of different events.
Since writing, WeChat has made many like-minded friends. Many friends who are going to write will complain to me: "I like writing very much, but I don't have time to sit down and write." What should I do? "
In fact, everything we do is based on the use of time, but different events consume time in different ways.
In the previous sharing, I took writing as the starting point and systematically explained the essence of using time for various events.
You say you love writing, but you don't have time to sit down and write? In fact, the questioner has a fixed idea in his mind: "Writing needs a long silence, but I don't need it."
Is that really the case? If we break down the steps of writing, we will find that writing is not only a step of code words, but also includes: preliminary material preparation, writing outline, (starting code words), checking and modifying, typesetting and publishing.
Among them, it takes a relatively complete time to write an outline and start a code word, while material preparation, inspection and revision, and typesetting are completely within the scope of fragmentation time. It is a waste of time to arrange them in the whole time.
Therefore, it is another goal of time management to understand the nature of time utilization of various events, learn to split all links of events and arrange them in a suitable time period.
Do you have a new understanding of time management after reading this?
Is there any new reflection on the lack of time?
Today's sharing is over. I hope this article can help you find the time you need to realize your dream. May your dream come true as soon as possible. Good night
