Go to bed early and get up early for 300 days

Time management article 165

When I was a child, as long as I ate delicious food at home, before I moved chopsticks, my grandparents would whisper "eat first" to the old people who had passed away. Every month, the whole family must be vegetarian on 15. They have adhered to this habit for decades.

My primary school is in Urumqi. Every year, Hui and Uygur students "fast" for one month. During this month, they are not allowed to eat any food, drink water or put anything in their mouths during the day. "

Although teachers have repeatedly advised them not to be "fast" when they grow up, no minority students violate their own regulations.

Whether grandparents or my classmates, they can do the prescribed things because of "faith".

The Germans were so rigid that they made a joke. Once the red light broke, it turned red one night, and a passer-by waited there all night.

But from the Buddhist point of view, this shows a very strong spirit of self-discipline and self-restraint, and also fully shows the awesome national spirit of the German nation.

In European and American countries, the observance of rules comes from religions-Christianity, Catholicism and Judaism. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Party Alliance Party consists of Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union.

The policies of these heads of state have a religious background, with religion as their spiritual pillar, and they will always restrain their actions.

Due to the lack of faith, modern people are confused and extremely busy every day, but they don't know what they are busy with and can't find the answer.

So I spent a lot of time on entertainment and games, and everything I did was a three-minute fever.

1. What hindered our success?

I have been thinking about a question: for most ordinary people, what hinders our success?

Poor mobility, no dreams, too much care, no persistence, no background and no money. There are too many reasons to choose from, but none of them hit the point.

Ordinary people and successful people, what is the difference between them? There is no answer in the book, and there is no result in reality. After all, I am still too young, too little precipitation and less experience.

Recently, I began to have some ideas of my own. The reason why a person is not successful is that he seems to be not a successful person.

While walking, I watch my mobile phone, play all kinds of games during meals, brush all kinds of information, care about the gossip news of stars, keep swiping my credit card every month, and pay the minimum repayment every month. Can this state be successful?

Any master who has achieved something in his career will never leave his hand. I am very busy, and I have to read more than 50 books a year.

There is also an excellent young man named Sima Teng, who spends more than 2 hours reading books every day and keeps a book in his computer bag at any time.

1. Are you heading in the right direction?

If you take a different road, the harder you work on this road, the farther you will be from success. But a successful person can see himself clearly and find his own direction.

He knows that if the direction is correct, the future will become clear, otherwise the more you pay, the worse the result will be.

Last month, I made an important and difficult decision. I closed the wedding company that I had been running for several years and devoted myself to the design of the curriculum system of time management.

Because of seeing the "ceiling" of the wedding industry, the future market space will become narrower and narrower.

With the popularization of artificial intelligence, our living environment will face a severe test in the future. Countless people will fall into the torrent of knowledge anxiety and information anxiety and become "slaves" of science and technology. Everyone needs time to manage.

At this time, whoever can help you solve the incompetence of choice and execution will gain resources and wealth. As for correctness, time is the best proof.

My wife is from an airline. She understands that this industry is rapidly declining, so she spends a lot of spare time on children's time management and learning new media.

Many people have been living in the comfort zone because they have not seen the "crisis", which is determined by one's knowledge reserve and circle.

The future development potential is definitely "knowledge scene upgrade", which can not only teach you to turn data into knowledge, but also practice application, and the feedback system can supervise you to implement it.

Less comfort and more challenges, only systematic input and output can see the future market trend clearly.

2. Do you know your personality?

Thought determines action, action determines habit, habit determines character, and character determines fate. Brother Teng knows exactly what his role looks like.

In his twenties, he was impetuous, frivolous, knowledgeable and ambitious. In order to improve myself, I do housework every day to cultivate my self-cultivation and practice reading to temper my mind.

At the same time, I firmly pursue what I think is right. If a person abandons his own personality and pursues something completely inconsistent with himself, he will enter a lost road full of fog, doomed to nothing, mediocrity and regret for life.

Character determines our destiny. How can a person who doesn't know himself grasp the direction of his destiny? How hard it is to know yourself! You need not only a casual tutor, but also your own continuous progress and learning.

3. Have you set your own ideal?

This question was suddenly silent at a class reunion, and everyone sadly didn't know what their ideal was. The real society has smoothed our edges and corners, and we can't find the direction of struggle.

Too many people are talking, but they are too lazy to act. Ideally, I am half-hearted. Today I want to be an excellent engineer, and tomorrow I want to open a shop to start a business and lead the fashion of a certain industry. An empty talker is doomed to accomplish nothing.

My ideal is very simple, that is, to become an absolute authority in the field of time management within five years, so I ask myself to read more than 3,000 words every day and stick to the rule of work and rest from ten to five.

4. Is there something wrong with your thinking?

If you think differently, you will get different results. Successful people will think carefully about everything, find a shortcut for themselves to avoid disadvantages, and then overcome difficulties and strive for victory.

Even if our ideals are the same, only correct thinking can achieve good results, which is why many people have the same goal, but only a few people finally reach the finish line.

Most people are lost in their own ideas, and their "ignorance" in this respect is suicide.

My personal suggestion is to learn from the marketing ideas of outstanding people in the industry. The bigger the enterprise, each of their plans has been carefully studied by the "think tank". With our personal ability, we simply can't have a keen insight into the market prospects and trends.

What exactly do you want?

A person's greatest failure is not that he didn't get what he wanted, nor that he worked hard, but he is still far from success, but that he doesn't even know what he wants.

Sometimes I think, "Hey, look at yourself. What do you want? " Looking back on our past efforts, we all find our hearts full of confusion.

If we can't solve this problem, all our efforts will lose value and it is easy to get out of control.

Is that he looks energetic and full of energy. He is a good boy in the eyes of his parents, a good husband in the eyes of his wife and a good father in the eyes of his children. In fact, he has no soul and no direction.

My goal is clear, I want wealth, and I can give my family a quality and comfortable life. Can it be realized by talking about it? Therefore, it is necessary to study the following contents:

1. Marketing

Step 2 drain water

3. Team building

4. Business knowledge

5. Information knowledge

6. Resource integration

7. Equity design

After you know what you want, you should practice deliberately to achieve self-discipline and success.

3. What is self-control?

Self-control is "self-control", which means that people can consciously control their emotions and actions, become their own steering wheel, and be good at inspiring themselves to bravely carry out certain decisions.

It can also restrain those desires, motives, behaviors and emotions that do not meet the established purpose, and then become a rational person.

For self-discipline, I haven't eaten hot pot for two years. For Sichuanese who have eaten Chili for 28 years, they suddenly stopped eating spicy food, and all of them are light. It's really a torment.

However, in order to become the person with the best voice in the intellectual world, I resolutely gave up the temptation of all kinds of food.

When we are in school, we can study and rest according to the established schedule, but after work, we lack constraints and can't improve our self-control through practice, and change the day after tomorrow. When we do things independently, we can't persist and have no willpower.

After working for several years, the work efficiency is low and the work income has not been improved.

4. Why can't you be self-disciplined?

In fact, we don't need too much ability or will to challenge or overcome any world-class problems to make ourselves diligent. It just allows us to spend more time on our "life management" and do a good job in the "infrastructure" construction of our lives. Why can't many people even do this basic thing?

1. Habitual problems

My father suffers from hypertension and coronary heart disease, but he still smokes and drinks his own way. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor told him that if he continued to pay attention to his health, the next step would be hospitalization.

I quit smoking and drinking immediately after I came back, but within three months, I saw that my condition improved and started smoking and drinking again.

Whether a person can be self-disciplined is habit, not self-control.

Think about the tense study atmosphere before the college entrance examination. We have passively developed many habits ―― regular classes, daily self-study, eating and sleeping, and clear goals ―― what to review every month, every week, and even every day, the teacher has arranged for us. We're used to it,

Those studies in high school don't really need much self-control. But when I entered the university, the course arrangement became free, and I lost those passive habits. When I began to plan my study and life, I couldn't discipline myself.

2. Satisfaction.

Why are you addicted to the praise and comments of your circle of friends? Why do many people always give up halfway to lose weight because they can get instant satisfaction? Because you can't see the effect in a short time. You should put a scale at home.

When Teng Ge was fattest 155kg. Later, after continuous exercise every day, I successfully lost weight to the present 128kg. The key to success is that I go to the electronic scale every day to see the weight change. The joy of losing weight cannot be described in words.

Self-control belongs to the category of will, it is an invisible spiritual energy, and it is difficult for us to grasp its trajectory easily, so it needs to be presented intuitively.

3. Collapse mentality

Why is it so difficult to establish an exercise habit? Because too many people don't understand the principle behind habits, the more important reason is that too many people are too eager to see major changes in the short term.

We all hope to get rich overnight, and once we become famous, we all like to watch the story that "a poor boy started from scratch and became a billionaire in a year" and "a fat girl lost 80 pounds in half a year and captured the heart of a male god".

But it's not our fault. The reason why we are naturally short-sighted and like instant feedback and satisfaction is because there is an invisible enemy in our brain making trouble. First of all, you should realize its existence, and then you can defeat it.

5. How can we be self-disciplined?

If you want to be self-disciplined, you must form a habit. The formation of habit depends on four parts: touching the machine, inertial behavior, reward and belief.

1. Contact the machine

Brother Teng keeps a diary when he gets up early in the morning. This is the touch of the machine, telling me that a new day has begun, which is conducive to the formation of behavior habits. In fact, it is a "sense of ritual."

2. Inertia behavior

It is called inertia because it is unconscious, such as watching entertainment news online as soon as the computer is turned on; For example, you must brush your circle of friends before going to bed.

In the process of establishing new habits, our self-control is used to correct the old behaviors that lead to procrastination and replace them with new inertia. For example, reading before going to bed, soaking feet and so on.

encourage and reward

This is a crucial link in the formation of habits, which is often ignored by people. Why are bad habits easy to form and difficult to change? Because their rewards are often immediate and obvious: playing games, surfing the internet and eating snacks, which one is not?

Good habits are difficult to form, precisely because the short-term returns are not obvious enough. Memorizing words, exercising and practicing calligraphy often take a long time to see the effect, and some people will naturally be inspired in the process.

But many people can't do it, so we need to give ourselves artificial rewards: for example, record our growth and progress, and send an Weibo to encourage ourselves from time to time.

Step 4 trust

This is the internal motivation to support your habit: you want to recite words every day in order to kill English exams; You want to learn to play the guitar so that you can show your skills at various parties; You should eat regularly, go to bed early and get up early, for health; You want to keep fit and lose weight, maybe you want to win the heart of the goddess/goddess.

In a word, you want to be a better person. When you form good habits, faith can give you positive spiritual feedback. At the same time, the stronger your belief, the more you can endure the pain and repetition in the process of change.

I hope this article can help you today!
