1.？ Make your schedule full.
Some people will make a list for themselves every morning according to the time management process, but they will always be filled with a piece of paper.
What meeting to hold, who to communicate with, meet customers, write research reports, etc. There are also some sudden emergency work to be added to the bottom of the list.
These tasks have become their long tail, which makes people exhausted. After finishing one thing, they have to start doing the next thing, without rest or even time to go to the toilet.
In fact, the first misunderstanding of time management is to arrange a complete trip for yourself.
The correct way is to list only the three most important things on the list every day, and then try to finish them at the first time every day. Those trivial things can be put aside for a while.
Because according to the 80/20 rule, as long as you complete the most important 20% of things, you will get 80% of the results, so don't let yourself fall into the curse of completing the plan indefinitely. It is king to finish the most important thing first.
2.？ Work hard without rest.
The second misunderstanding of time management is to use the saved time to continue working and never rest.
We always let ourselves finish as much work as possible, but the result is that our energy plummets from morning till night and our efficiency is getting lower and lower.
In fact, at the same time of time management, we should also pay attention to energy management, so as to combine work and rest and alternate work and rest.
Only when work and rest are relaxed can we devote ourselves to work.
3.？ Mixed use of various time management methods?
The third misunderstanding of time management is to apply all the time management methods you have learned to yourself, but give up immediately if you feel a little uncomfortable.
There are many books, methods and tools about time management on the market now. If the summary is good, there are 7 or 8 methods for each link, and many auxiliary tools for time management have been downloaded on our mobile phones.
In order to improve their work efficiency, many people actually use all the methods on themselves at one time.
For example, a friend of mine, when he saw that the book said to record time expenses, used a notebook to record everything he did. He also downloads various lists and efficient apps on his mobile phone, and these softwares also need to be recorded.
Therefore, to finish a thing, he actually has to record time or events in three or four places, which is less efficient than before. It is better not to use time management tools.
In fact, tools and methods are only our auxiliary means. They were born to improve our work efficiency. We can't be slaves to tools.
The best way is to look at better time management methods, which you can test in a week. Keep it if it suits you, and replace it if it doesn't. After all, it is impossible for all methods to suit you.
The above are three misunderstandings of time management, I hope it will help you.
