Strange life: living better in your own time zone

I first learned about strange life in Li Xiaolai's book "Take Time to Be Friends".

I thought the author would explain in detail how to spend an extraordinary life around the protagonist, and I was particularly looking forward to buying books. After reading the book, to be honest, I am disappointed. The book revolves around the author's evaluation of Lyubyshev and his exploration of his diary and literature. The whole book is boring.

However, there is something worth pondering in the boring words. Lyubyshev has made many unexpected achievements by using time statistics and created value in many fields. Can we modern people realize our dreams and become better people?

What kind of person is Lyubyshev?

The book does not describe him in detail, nor does it spend a lot of ink to write historical stories about him. The author is not sure about such historical stories, most of which are shrouded in clouds, and the detailed stories about his life are only a passing one. "The cloud has only begun to dissipate until now, but it can always be felt." Liu Bishev was born in 1890 and died in 1982. He lived 82 years old, worked 2006 hours a year, answered 283 letters, and wrote 12500 pages of articles in his life, spanning biology, entomology, literature and philosophy. During his lifetime, he published 70 academic works, more than 500 papers and monographs. 500 prints is equivalent to 12500 pages of typed manuscript. Even for professional writers, this is a huge number, and these works are widely translated and published abroad.

Lyubyshev's legacy includes several parts: works on the classification of ground fleas, history of science, agriculture, genetics, plant protection, philosophy, entomology, zoology, evolution and atheism; In addition, he also wrote a memoir, recalling the time when many scientists talked about various stages of his life.

The author commented that Lyubyshev was an expert and a saint.

How did he do so many things in a short time?

Lyubyshev was the director of the university teaching department and the director of the research institute. In 1930s, he traveled all over Europe in Russia, visited many collective farms and studied fruit pests, corn pests and ground squirrels. In his so-called spare time, he studies ground fleas as a kind of "rest". The workload is quite heavy. By 1955, Lyubyshev had collected 35 boxes of ground fleas, accounting for 13000, of which 5000 ground fleas were sectioned, totaling 300 species. These ground fleas have to be identified, measured, sliced and made into specimens, and the materials he collected are five times more than those collected by the Animal Research Institute. He has been studying the classification of LEPIDOPTERA all his life. This requires a special talent for in-depth research and a deep understanding of this kind of work.

His research work basically takes 6 hours and 20 minutes, with an average working time of 5 hours. During the five hours of pure work time, he will not smoke halfway or stop to rest, but concentrate on his work. His working method is to combine serious work with recreational work, such as writing letters when he is tired of research. His working hours statistics say rest: write to Igor for ten minutes. Not only that, he is also good at using his own time, reading novels while waiting for the bus, doing math exercises or learning English during meetings. He uses his time anytime and anywhere. If he is going on a business trip and going to another place, he will distribute several books in advance and make a plan according to his previous reading speed. For example, he is going to read a book, and from his old experience, he can read 20-30 pages an hour, so how many books and how long does it take to make this plan?

Everything you have seen should be carefully studied, and if you don't know much, make a summary. More importantly, try to write a critical introduction. The books that need to be made can be set according to past experience. His annual report summarizes a whole book, when he did something, how much time he spent on ecology and entomology, and when he spent dealing with people, commuting and housework. He recorded it clearly. Of course, without looking at his watch, he can feel the cold passage of time when he meets the author twice. He recorded "1 hour 35 minutes" and "1 hour 50 minutes" in his notebook, and he formed a special sense of time. Time ticks in his body, and he can feel the passage of time without looking at his watch, and accurately tell what time it is, with a gap of five points.

No matter what happens, it will not affect his execution of time statistics at all. He is so haggle over every ounce of time, even if his son dies unexpectedly, it will not affect his execution at all, and wasting time and killing time will not exist on him. He is meticulous about time statistics, and he never stops performing time statistics. This kind of strict demand and spur on oneself is rare in history. He has been urging himself, examining himself and adjusting himself in time statistics, and has never given up for 56 years.

Someone asked Nefo Mewaki, a famous histologist, how he studied the structure of worms all his life. He was surprised: "bugs are so long, but life is so short."

How many things can a person do in his life? How many ideas can you generate?

Lyubyshev died at the age of 82, and it took 56 years to show people one thing. He likes to use time statistics to complete the plan, every day, every hour and every minute for 56 years. His energy and thinking efficiency have improved, and he will not feel bound and stressed, which is what the author wants to find most.

This seemingly pure technical working method is not noticed at all in the world of Lyubyshev. It is naturally formed. For decades, it has gained spiritual strength and formed the life skeleton of Lyubyshev, which not only ensures the highest efficiency, but also ensures the most vigorous vitality.

His daily time statistics are as follows:

Not only every day, but every month, every year. 56 years of continuous statistics. Lyubyshev always plans things for next month in advance, and time statistics are counted by minutes. Even make a summary every month and an annual summary every year.

1937- 1840 hours

1938- 1402 hours

1939- 1362 hours

1940- 1560 hours

194 1 year-1342 hours

1942- 1346 hours

1943- 16 12 hours

Reading 50 Russian books is 48 hours.

Read two English books for 5 hours.

Three French books * * * 24 hours.

German 2 books * * * 20 hours.

He sends his annual summary to his friends every year. It seems that I am showing off this achievement to my friends. In his annual summary letter, he made a key statement: the first type of work was completed at 564.5, with a deficit of 5.5 compared with the original plan of 570, that is, 1%.

In other words, everything is the same, and the error is only 1%. All this is attributed to his unremitting time statistics day after day and year after year to achieve the final result. The error is only 5.5 from the target. The progress of the goal in Excellence is amazing.

Some people think that such time statistics will be unbearable, while others think that such time statistics "make a detailed plan for yourself every minute, which is equivalent to losing all freedom, which is equivalent to self-destruction and turning yourself into a machine." But some people want to copy Lyubyshev's time statistics method. Time statistics has aroused some people's interest, hoping to bring results in this way, but this desire can't work for everyone.

The author Geranan believes that "this method of time statistics can only be established when one sets lofty goals for himself."

In my opinion, only when a person is deeply aware of the preciousness of time, is he clear about what he wants to do and feels sorry for the passage of time, can he really do a good job in time planning and statistics. Only by making good use of time reasonably can time statistics serve people better.

Using time statistics, Lyubyshev can also live well. I have to admire his perseverance and execution ability.

Inspired by this, Li Xiaolai, who regards time as his friend, borrowed from Lyubyshev's time statistics method and changed some time statistics methods into a way that suits him. He will record the event itself in the event log, for example:

Yanji1995 65438+February 20th

1. Preside over the dealer meeting.

2. How much was your bonus last month?

Li Jian invited me to dinner, which means that I haven't seen you for four months.

Keeping time statistics can quickly find out what has been done in the past, and he has benefited a lot from time statistics. Since then, he insisted on recording valuable events every day, and hung a book on the wall opposite the toilet in his home, spending ten minutes every day recording the events of the day. After a long time, you can clearly see where you spent this year. Only by doing time statistics can we really feel how fast time passes. Only recording can be better controlled, so the habit of recording events has gradually increased.

Whether Lyubyshev's time statistics method is applicable to everyone, I think everyone has their own answer. Maybe you can get some inspiration from Lyubyshev's time statistics method like Mr. Li Xiaolai, and you'd better make your own time statistics method according to your own situation. In the fast-paced Internet era, people feel more and more strongly about the passage of time. Fortunately, many people begin to understand the preciousness of time and make unremitting efforts to record it. The influence of Lyubyshev continues to spread.

Time statistics of office workers in one day:

Get up at half past six, cook, eat, send the children to kindergarten and go to work.

Punch in at 8: 30

It takes 17 minutes to chat with colleagues at 8:42.

Recording time and events has become an essential skill for modern people, and counting where the time of the day is spent, where it is worth investing more and where it needs to be improved. It seems simple to spend more than ten minutes recording every day, but not everyone can do it. Lyubyshev insisted on recording his 56-year time expenditure. It's so amazing that even the author admires him. His friend henry miller once described one of his friends, Lyubyshev, in the Tropic of Cancer:

Poke a hole in one side of his body and a British museum will flow out; Sometimes, it is the whole of Asia.

It seems that no one can do this except Lyubyshev. He is willing to calculate time and is good at calculating time and processing time. He is a hero who controls time. He kept a record for 56 years and lived a different secular life. There is no second Lyubyshev in the world.

Fortunately, today we see Lyubyshev's time statistics method, which creates a lifestyle of controlling time and finds an antidote to relieve anxiety in the era of anxiety.

Unconsciously, time statistics have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and more people use time statistics to work efficiently in the workplace. As Lyubyshev bluntly said, "I am used to time statistics, and I can't work without it."

But use decades of statistics to set rules for your life, okay? In fact, Lyubyshev enjoys living in such a box. He is not only efficient in work and entertainment, but also energetic and incredibly exuberant. He has never been ill in his life. Lyubyshev is convinced of this: "Because I am engaged in a wonderful career, I have such good health and strong working ability."

In fact, he has his own way. He abides by several principles and never overworks.

1. I don't undertake the task that must be completed.

I don't accept urgent tasks.

Stop working as soon as you are tired and have a rest.

4. Sleep a lot, about 10 hour.

5. Combine tiring work with pleasant work.

Some people will think that he must be very tired, but he is not necessarily.

He knows how to control his time, know himself again through time, know how to work and live moderately, and know how to study efficiently. For him, the process of sorting and organizing materials is a kind of enjoyment in itself, and he can switch freely between work and entertainment at any time. He shuttles freely in his own time zone and lives happily. Besides extensive academic research, Lyubyshev likes to spend a lot of time writing letters and answering letters. I answered 283 letters and sent 69 printed materials in my life.

Entertainment life is also very rich. I have seen 65 plays, concerts, movies and exhibitions in my life. Swimming 43 times, classmates, classmates 15 1 hour. Lyubyshev's time statistics let people find that people can do so many things and see so many things in a year.

Lyubyshev made research and experiments through his original time statistics method: how much can he do in writing, reading, listening, working and thinking, and how to do it? He doesn't let himself be overburdened and incompetent; He always follows the edge of ability, and the balance of ability is more and more accurate.

This is a never-ending road to self-knowledge. He walked alone, lonely and happy on this road.

He never stopped growing all his life; He is a lonely person, an ascetic, a lonely and happy person in the time zone. He never argues with others. In the academic field, he sticks to his point of view. Although these opinions always bring confusion and attacks, he tries to avoid disputes. "If you insist on doing this, you have to do it." Strangely, the frankness of these views later helped him out of trouble many times. He is not compared with the secular, he will not pursue material perfection, luxurious houses, cars, secular fame and fortune.

Lyubyshev, who does time statistics, is neither a genius nor an outstanding talent. Obviously, he realized earlier than his peers that it takes a lot of time to achieve his life goals.

God gives everyone a fair time, it depends on how you use it.

As the author Geranan said at the end: "It seems that everyone should make his own time use method, but in any case, he should think deeply about how his life is spent."

In the new year of 20021,I hope we can all benefit from it, turn our previous sufferings into achievements like Lyubyshev, and begin to know how to cherish time, do time statistics and get to know ourselves again.

People should understand that the hardest thing in life is not knowing yourself. In the torrent of time, recognize yourself, examine yourself and create yourself.

After all, time is the essence of shaping a person.
