What is self-discipline? My understanding is self-discipline. Self-discipline contains a wide range of contents, the most important of which is to manage time well and make your life regular.
Managing time requires two magic weapons.
The first is the timetable, which is the yardstick of action and the necessary condition to achieve the goal; The second is the punch table, which is a true record of the implementation of the action, used to evaluate the effect of self-discipline in a certain period of time, and is a sufficient condition for realizing self-discipline.
Infants' brains are not fully developed, and eating and drinking Lassa may happen at any time, which is basically uncontrollable, so they can only cultivate habits, not self-discipline.
The standardized work and rest management that began in the student days is often accompanied by a painful memory. "Get up at 5:30" and "Turn off the lights at 2 1:30" are simply the eternal spells of boarders.
The timetable of the work unit is mainly used for personnel attendance. Usually, winter time and daylight saving time are set according to the change of day and night. The arrangement in the morning is the same, except that there is a 30-minute adjustment in the afternoon.
The clock-in table is simpler, consisting of criss-crossing Tian Zige, marked with "√" or "×".
People often say that "life is short, eat, drink and be merry". Why bother yourself about such a thing?
However, I like self-discipline and challenge and change. I am more afraid of the life that I can see the end of my life at a glance than the fear of the unknown.
My mother is a teacher. Before she retired, there was a school curriculum hanging on the wall next to my house. Perhaps because of what I have heard, the timetable has naturally become a part of my life. It's a pity that people don't seem to have made much progress together for many years, and their fragile will is always defeated in the face of temptation.
It was not until I had a child and the same problem happened to him that I began to summarize and reflect. If the timetable is to land, it is necessary to have an execution record, and the combination of the two can finally produce a chemical reaction from quantitative change to qualitative change.
At that time, I didn't have the concept of "punch card table", so I designed two simple tables and named them "daily task list" * * Just me and my son. Two watches are posted side by side on the study wall and changed once a month. We are both the athletes of the other side and the supervisors of the other side, encouraging the other side to move forward.
At the end of the month, we rank according to the number of projects completed by each person, and the winner can get the reward of realizing the wish list. This has become my son's favorite game, and counting scales is his happiest moment.
Share our "daily task list" with you here, as shown below:
1, child form
2. My form
The design concept of the two tables is exactly the same, but the format is slightly adjusted for the convenience of printing. My son's watch takes time as the horizontal axis. If something is completed in a certain period of time, put "√" in the corresponding space in the table; My watch takes time as its vertical axis. Besides marking "√" in the blank, there are some specific data and contents to be filled in.
At the end of each month, I will also copy the information marked in the form into the spreadsheet to establish a continuous personal information file, which is helpful for future analysis and adjustment.
Later, I thought it might be more convenient to manage with APP, only to know that this operation is usually called "punching in".
On Baidu and Zhihu, I read a lot about the punch plan. After comparison, I prefer a small program called "Little Punch". After adding projects according to your own needs, you can punch in one by one according to the completion situation, and you can also publish logs in various ways such as text, recording and video, which is very practical.
However, for children, using paper documents is more intuitive and appropriate.
In short, timetable and punching in are just tools of self-discipline management, and the purpose of self-discipline is to realize the vision of life. The key to all this lies in ourselves.
A self-disciplined life begins with punching in.
I believe that as long as you are self-disciplined and persistent, you will meet a better self.
