Most people who learn to plan their time will get up early.
The first good habit advocated by easy time management is to get up early, so we can always see many partners punching in the WeChat circle of friends at 5 am to start a beautiful day.
Why do more and more people start to get up early? What are the advantages of getting up early? What can it bring?
A book shared with you today is called "Get up at Four o'clock", and the subtitle is the healthiest and most efficient time management. The author is Takashi Nakajima of Japan, and the Chinese version of the book is 654.38+ 10,000 words.
I have found that once successful people discover other people's good habits, they will immediately turn them into their own. Getting up early is a good habit. What kind of actions you take in the morning and what kind of habits you develop, whether you are one step ahead or one step behind, the difference determines the outcome. Many people spend their free time in the evening, hoping to shorten their sleep to increase the available time of the day. From the point of work efficiency, working in the morning is very different from working in the middle of the night. As long as you start work in the morning, all the work can be carried out in advance. If you finish the work ahead of time, the result of delaying the work will be completely different.
The author advocates 3-8 living method. He divides the day into three parts, eight hours in the morning, eight hours in the afternoon and eight hours in the evening. This is more efficient.
Many people think that working at night is efficient. Some people think that if you want to work while your family is sleeping, you have to work at night. Is that really the case? Is this good? Physiologically, the hormones secreted by our bodies in the morning can make us more awake. Adrenaline secreted by adrenal medulla and adrenocortical lipid secreted by adrenal cortex are two high-energy hormones. The adrenal gland secretes these two hormones from dawn, and the peak of secretion is just around 7 am. Night is a time for physical and mental rest, and the body can fall asleep calmly and inhibit the secretion of hormones. Physiologically speaking, people should go to bed at 8 pm and get up at 4 am. This is the ideal rhythm of life in body and mind, which has been written into human DNA.
Many night owls always put their work at night and often increase their working hours by compressing their sleep time. The author tells us that no matter how busy you are, you can't compress your sleep time, even if you don't sleep for one or two nights. If you don't sleep for a week, or stay up late for a long time, you will be physically and mentally exhausted, and your work efficiency and quality will be reduced.
Our sleep is divided into deep sleep and shallow sleep. Deep sleep is high quality sleep. When we sleep, wake us up when we are asleep, and our bodies will feel very painful. But the proportion of deep sleep is not high. Sleep is not as long as possible. A reasonable grasp of the law of sleep is conducive to regulating our physical and mental state. After sleeping, the first node is 3 hours, the second node is 4.5 hours, then 6 hours, and finally 7.5 hours. If you get up at these nodes, you will feel refreshed, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable. If we have to stay up late, we should take a nap for three hours before staying up late. This is a healthy way to stay up late, and it is also a measure to improve work efficiency. After staying up late, we will not be very tired, and the consequences of staying up late will not spread to the next day.
How long is it reasonable for people to sleep? Is it eight hours? The quality of sleep should not be measured by time standard, but by how long you slept and whether you woke up refreshed. Different people have different sleep time, and the same person's state is different, so the sleep time needed is different.
What should I do after getting up early?
The author tells us that we should solve all problems in the morning and do important things in the morning. For example, reading that is conducive to growth. At work, make the morning meeting an important event in the day. Study early in the morning with half the effort. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. The author gives many cases and methods on how to do it.
Getting up at four o'clock may not be possible for many people, but if we can start from getting up early, change our behavior and form good habits, I believe your life will be more and more different.
If you are interested, you can read the book "Get up at 4 o'clock", I hope it will help you to some extent!
May your life be as bright as flowers!
