Once again, when he was waiting at the airport, he went to the bookstore to look through books, and at a glance he saw a copy of The Most Important, Only One Thing.
This book just solved his complicated thoughts at that time. During the trip, he read the whole book and immediately decided to do only the most important things.
His greatest advantage is that he is good at attracting investment, so he put aside other things in his hand and only did one thing to meet investors in those six months.
In the end, of course, his grades were good. I found the book at once and finished it in two hours the night before yesterday.
Don't ask me why I didn't write yesterday. Asking is procrastinating ...
I want to share with you the important ideas in the book. Take the essence and discard the dross, a book or an article. If there is an idea, or just a sentence, which can make you remember or change your life, that is the greatest value.
First of all, you need a "success list", all of which revolve around your ultimate goal.
We probably use the "to-do list" the most every day. Anyway, in the morning of my working day, I will make a to-do list, complete one and cross one off. There are often unfinished tasks, which may be long-term tasks or this week's tasks.
I never thought about the "success list". The to-do list of daily things is also work items or shopping needs, temporary tasks, and many unimportant things are filled with daily life.
"To-do list" covers "can do" and "should do", while "success list" contains no more than three items, and they must all be "should do" tasks, which directly point to your ultimate goal.
Second, the 82 rule, try to find the most important 20%, and only do that one thing.
Pareto law, as we all know, 20% people hold 80% of the wealth in the world; In the most efficient 20% of a day, about 80% of the work can be completed directly.
Find out your most important 20% things and keep looking.
I just watched Taylor Swift's speech video the other day. 18 On May 8th, Kiichigo told his experiences in his graduation speech at new york University. She didn't go to college and started writing her own songs in junior high school. Later, she began to tour as a director and producer. Everything revolves around her favorite creative field and has a global influence. Her songs and enthusiasm.
To this end, new york University awarded her an honorary doctorate, which is described in one sentence as "as long as you don't pull your ass, all roads lead to Rome."
The most important thing is only one thing, the mold has done the singing to the extreme, and 80% of the results will come naturally.
You just need to choose the most useful things, stick to it and cultivate a strong habit.
Phelps was so active when he was a child that his mother even sent him for a checkup and found that he couldn't concentrate on anything. Later, he was sent to learn swimming, and only when he was swimming could he concentrate, so he focused on cultivating his own swimming training. Seven days a week, he trained in the swimming pool for six days, at least six hours a day.
Everyone knows what happened afterwards. He won many medals in various competitions and many gold medals in the Olympic Games.
Fourth, you can form a new habit in 66 days. When new habits replace old habits and Excellence becomes a habit, Excellence will come to you.
We always think that it takes 265,438+0 days to form a new habit, but it is far from enough. It takes about 66 days to form a fixed habit. Just cultivate a small habit at a time, for example, getting up 30 minutes earlier than before, which can painlessly form a new habit.
Many people want to be drastic, subtract, quit smoking, get up early and exercise from the beginning. It seems that they have got rid of their previous bad habits, but there is a high probability that such a life will not last for a week.
People often overestimate their execution and underestimate the weakness of human nature. Personally, if the running that has been going on smoothly, but once it is interrupted in rainy days, it takes a lot of motivation to start again.
Here, there are several problems that need us to calm down and think seriously. After doing one thing, other things become simple or unnecessary?
Spiritual life, find the most important things, such as meditation?
Health status, what only needs to be done? Running? Yoga? Fitness?
What is the only thing you need to do to make yourself happy in your private life? Learn guitar? Singing? Painting?
Important circle, which circle needs to be maintained most?
What is the most important thing at work? Management? Technology upgrade?
What is the most important thing in doing business? Expansion? Seeking stability?
Wealth, what is the goal of retirement wealth?
5. Ask yourself "What is the most important thing to do" every day?
In front of the most important thing, nothing else matters.
Make a five-year plan for yourself and find out the ultimate goal; Then find out the annual goal, monthly goal, weekly goal and daily goal.
Find the most important goal for each goal, constantly weigh it, and complete the most important goal first every day.
6. "I don't know the secret of success, but the key to failure is because you want to please everyone."
Learn to say "no" in front of the most important goal.
Everyone will do it. When the temptation comes, you forget the most important thing. Once you are called to dinner by a friend, you always want to start with the next meal, and the result will never start.
Say good exercise, once you get home and sit on the sofa, you will never get up again.
We agreed to give up smoking, but in the process of pulling with friends, we only said once, and all our previous efforts were in vain.
7. Finally, I present a list of three kinds of real gunpowder: the daily energy plan of efficient people.
Meditation, prayer and spiritual stimulation;
Sleep well, eat well, exercise well, and have physical motivation;
Establish emotional connection and have emotional motivation;
Set goals and make plans;
Set aside enough time for important things.
