How to manage time as effectively as the executives of major enterprises?

1.

The method is not necessarily to sleep less, but to adjust your work and rest interval as a whole. Compared with ordinary people, they do get up earlier. Considering their age, it is normal for adults to sleep for about 6 hours, and it is not difficult to squeeze in sleep.

Steve Jobs got up at 6 o'clock, and the current Apple CEO Cook appeared at the gym at 5 o'clock. Tim armstrong, the current CEO of AOL, who used to work at Google, gets up at 5 o'clock every day, and Immelt, the successor of General Electric CEO Jack Welch, gets up at 5: 30 every day. General Motors CEO mary barra will appear in the office at 6 o'clock. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey gets up at 5: 30, Virgin Group boss richard branson gets up at 5: 45, Disney Group CEO Bob Iger gets up at 4: 30, and Starbucks CEO Schultz arrives at the office before 6: 00. Wang Jianlin, the boss of Wanda Group, the richest man in China, got up at 6 o'clock, and even got up at 4 o'clock to catch a private jet when he was on a business trip around the world.

These bosses are not easy either. In our opinion, they are too persistent and cruel to themselves.

2.

But I think what supports them to do this is their love for their career and their responsibility to the shareholders and employees of the company. A little more, in fact, as long as you start to form habits, it's easy to say later.

It is impossible to get up so early without positive motivation.

For these? Morning type? Generally speaking, what are the advantages of getting up early?

Getting up early in the morning will have a period of solitude, which can be used to deal with company mail, or to run, exercise and meditate. I get off work late at night and go to bed at 12, so it is more feasible to put my fitness time in the morning. During this time, others are sleeping, doing things without being disturbed, no phone calls, and no one comes to talk to you. A single friend like Cook doesn't even have to make breakfast for his family.

As a manager who is responsible for shareholders and employees, getting up early before most people get up is to get a better working condition and make a day's work arrangement earlier, which is conducive to the normal operation of the company's machines.

Liu, our boss, asked the management to hold an early meeting at 8: 30 every day. No matter how late he worked the day before, he had to sit there and attend the morning meeting the next day except on business. As soon as we started working, important decisions had been made and could be implemented.

The reason why bosses and CEOs like getting up early is really because getting up early is good for their work and makes them more efficient in the day. And getting up early before going to work is also one of the efficient periods of the day.

We seldom create such a time period for ourselves in the morning. Originated in Japan? Morning type? When this new idea was introduced to China a few years ago, it received great attention, but there is still little that can be done now.

These elites have excavated a period of high efficiency of their own. They are people who pursue efficiency in their bones. Efficiency is their value and they love blood more than sharks.

Not all company bosses are? Morning type? Others also have matching schedules, which are considered to be efficient to some extent. To this end, the whole decision-making and implementation of the company will also focus on the rhythm of managers' decision-making.

Like the Internet industry, the overall work schedule is relatively late, and there are not a few leaders who stay up late. For example, Zhang Xiaolong, the father of WeChat, had two interviews with him in the afternoon and evening. He is resting in the morning and thinking about technology products in the middle of the night. At the beginning of its birth, the entire WeChat team started working around his work and rest characteristics, equipped with camp beds, and took a lunch break at noon, so that the small team could also make a quick surprise attack and reduce the overall interference of external affairs. What a maverick team.

We ordinary people don't want to copy this habit. It is also difficult for many people to go to bed early and get up early. We are not in that position, we can't feel the internal and external environmental requirements they face, and there are not so many constraints.

But it is important to find your own efficient time.

Find such a time, not to compare with others, not to compare with those elites, but to compare with yourself in the past, tap your potential and do more things you want to do.

This is also one of the essentials of time management. You should find your own efficient time and make full use of it. Look for long-term behavioral rhythms related to the future.

Efficient time should be set aside to do the most important things, and this collocation is often ignored. Many people either do a lot of urgent things or simply waste them, such as watching the news the first time after work, which is not necessarily the most important thing for everyone.

Generally speaking, morning and morning are the most energetic times of the day. And at night, after a hard day, self-control will also decline. Therefore, major decisions are usually not made at night, because you don't know whether you are tired and have a downward impulse or you can really make that decision. In fact, sleeping is a good idea, if you have exciting ideas at night, but you still want to realize them in the morning. After a night, if you are calm and excited, it is worth a try.

On the surface, time management is time management. In fact, time ignores you. It's not like managing subordinates. You can use your will to make them change their behavior, and time is boring to move forward. Time is directly managed by God. Managing time is actually deciding what to do on different time scales, matching what you do with time, and investing your own energy resources. Behind time management is decision-making and energy management.

Human energy, including thinking ability and self-control, may be different at each time scale. From morning till night, with brain fatigue and energy consumption, it shows a downward trend. Therefore, to deal with more important and generally more difficult things, we must go all out and use good steel on the blade.

So the efficient period is very valuable. No wonder those business elites get up early, get up early and get up earlier than others. This is their efficient period.

5.

Everyone's efficient time period is different. Although there are similar time periods in the morning and morning under such natural laws, it will still vary from person to person.

Before looking for efficient time, we need to record the time of day to find clues.

After recording the daily time for a period of time, we can look back and see what we are busy with every day. Actually there are some data for our reference.

Always do important things, do difficult time, and uninterrupted time may be your efficient time.

Some people, who have more meetings in the morning, are valuable to the people who initiated the meeting and hope to have fruitful results, but those who passively participate feel that the output is less and the efficiency is not high during this morning's meeting time.

Therefore, in addition to considering the internal physical and mental conditions, we should also combine the requirements of the external environment to see if there are laws to follow.

Some programmers are busy communicating during the day and are forced to work overtime at night to write programs because there will be less interference. This may be a matter of time management, or the environment is limited to this.

In a word, we should combine the tool of time log to know our effective time period. People may be overconfident and subjective, but after a week, you don't remember anything.

Record time. While finding efficient time periods, we can also dig out time black holes that waste a lot of time. This is the first step in learning time management.
