Let's look at several simulation scenarios first. People who generally enter the bottleneck period feel that they are repeating the same work every day.
Let's think it over. Is there no loophole in every link of our work?
Is every module done to the extreme? If not, then this is not the bottleneck of work, this is called work fatigue period, that is, doing these jobs every day is a little tired.
Fatigue period is very common in the workplace. Any job that lasts more than a year or two will have a fatigue period. This is the normal state of the workplace. If you recover well from fatigue, you will break through yourself.
But we should distinguish between fatigue period and bottleneck period.
If every link and module in the work is done to the extreme, but there is no time to challenge their own strength, this is called the bottleneck period.
Therefore, we must first understand what a bottleneck is and reflect on ourselves first.
Second, set goals and standards for yourself.
The first step is to reflect on whether you still have shortcomings, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Next, let's look at the second step, "set standards for yourself and set goals." Many people can't break through the bottleneck because they haven't set a standard for measuring their growth.
I don't know if it's good or not. Every day is the same when there is no standard. With standards, I can know where the gap is.
Let's talk about the goal again.
Give a simple example, recite words.
A student recites the words on the first page every day Then he said: I have a bottleneck. I work hard every day and feel that I have not grown.
This is the essence without goals and standards.
Can he set goals and standards for himself?
For example, I memorized 10 new words on the first day, 20 words tomorrow and 30 words the day after tomorrow. After a month, wow, I memorized hundreds of new words.
This is the goal and standard.
So, if you can't break through the bottleneck in your work, it's probably because you haven't set goals and standards for yourself.
The goal is how many tasks you need to accomplish. As long as you are a little more today than yesterday, it is progress.
The standard is that what you do is very effective.
For example, for designers, designing a poster is very common a month ago and particularly stylish a month later. This is the standard.
For example, the same thing was not handled well last time, and it succeeded this time. These are the goals and standards.
Achieving goals and standards is a breakthrough for yourself. Without goals and standards, you have no goals. You don't know where to shoot with a gun, and you don't know where your marksmanship is.
So remember: you set goals and standards for yourself, and measure your growth space with them.
Third, every link is systematic.
Some people do have bottlenecks in their work, but this bottleneck period is not a question of ability, but that she can't find her own breakthrough.
A former colleague of mine, who has been doing IT technology, feels that he has reached the bottleneck.
During this period, he suddenly received an outsourcing project to make an APP. From the process of making an APP, he found his own shortcomings, team formation, division of labor, communication, copywriting and project operation.
He suddenly found out where his shortcomings are. Management and communication are all things he should learn, including that he didn't have product thinking before, and now he has gradually created product thinking.
But before that, he didn't realize his breakthrough at all, so the way to break through the bottleneck in his work is to find his own card point, which means that that place is the weak point of your ability, which means that you should improve your breakthrough in that place.
Fourth, find someone better than you to study.
People are more irritating than others.
Doing the same thing, different people must have different results. Many aspects will be involved here, such as resources, capital, technology, knowledge and so on.
But as long as he does better than you, you should consider how to study and reach the level of others.
In the process of studying why others do better than you, we are actually looking for ways to break your bottleneck. Even if you study a little, you will break a little bottleneck.
Remember: studying excellent opponents, why they are excellent and why they do better than you, is to break your bottleneck.
The way to break the bottleneck analyzed for you today is to reflect on whether there are no loopholes in every link, and to make up for the loopholes is to break through the bottleneck.
Set goals and standards for yourself. Blind work without any goals and standards will never grow and progress. The higher the standards and goals, the faster the growth.
Learn to find the place where you are stuck, because this place is the breakthrough point, and finally study how excellent opponents complete their tasks with high standards.
