I can't even go to bed on time every day!
It's really heartbreaking
Ma Yun once said:
Think of a thousand roads at night, and walk another road when you wake up in the morning.
What we are talking about is entrepreneurship, which is actually very practical for each of us.
Each of us has many beautiful dreams and exciting plans, but with the passage of time, everything eventually falls by the wayside. Occasionally, in retrospect, it is also full of regrets and regrets.
If the above sentence is true.
Well, congratulations, which means you are a normal person.
Normal people can't do what they say. Only people with strong will and execution can do what they say.
In fact, the people who finally realize their ideals may not be as smart as you and me, nor may they be as diligent as you and me, but they all have super execution without exception.
The product manager said that the product is 1 and the marketing is 0. Without good products, even the best marketing method is 0.
In fact, the execution power is also 1, and the idea is 0. Without execution, even the best plan is a pipe dream.
Isn't there a classic story:
A group of mice had a meeting to discuss how to deal with the cat attack. A mouse who is considered clever suggested hanging a bell around the cat's neck. In this way, when the cat walks, the bell will ring, so that the mouse who hears the bell can run away in time. Everyone agrees that this is a good idea. But who will hang the bell for the cat? How to hang it? As a result, "hanging bells on cats" has become an empty talk of mice and a joke of mankind.
Li Xiaolai said that the idea of not implementing it is just an illusion.
Execution is the ability to turn ideas into reality step by step.
We have many ideas every day. As long as we think of them and do them, they can change our lives.
Just thinking, not acting, and then just standing still, ... just thinking.
The gap between people is finally reflected in the execution.
Then why can excellent people think and do it?
Why can't we always realize our ideals?
Why do you have good ideas but are unwilling to put them into action?
Why can't we get rid of mediocrity and squeeze into the ranks of outstanding people?
Low execution, mainly for the following reasons:
0 1
? Theory of supreme goodness
The essence of perfectionism is fear, and we can't accept the reality of our failure. ?
When I was a child, I had a little friend who liked playing chess very much, but he played chess with one characteristic. If he wins, he won't play the second game. Even if he just sat down and won the first game, he immediately got up and left. If he loses, he will pester you to play a few more games, no matter what you do, until he wins. Finally, if someone else wants to go, just take a few steps and let him win.
My friend is a typical perfectionist.
Perfectionism is characterized by perfect planning, extremely demanding results, not accepting any degree of mistakes and not allowing failed endings.
This perfectionism seems to have high standards and requirements, but in fact it often falls into endless preparation and planning. And this is the opposite of execution, called procrastination.
It is precisely because of the high standards and requirements that in the process of implementation, if it is different from what is expected, it will stop to reconsider, re-plan and delay again.
Because of high standards and requirements, extreme fear, procrastination and inaction are the best choices.
This seemingly demanding perfectionism is actually a rejection of reality.

Too many choices, too many ideas.
We have to make many choices every day-whether to go to the movies or the gym on weekends?
Want to learn ps, sign up for a course or buy a book to teach yourself?
Want to start fitness, running or cycling?
Is it better to run in the morning or at night
Too many choices consume too much brain energy. The brain is mainly based on recognition and selection, plus distraction and weak willpower. When it was time to act, I found that there was no time and conditions. In the end, it went away.
03
? Too many excuses, too much interference.
In modern society, the biggest interference is the mobile phone. I was going to read a book, but I couldn't help but want to see Weibo first, brush Tik Tok, and finally watch a movie.
Plan to run in the morning, get up on time, think about sleeping late last night, lack of sleep is not good for your health, and your mental state is not good at work. Let's get some sleep!
There is only one reason why you want to do something.
As long as you don't want to do it in your heart, you will find more than n reasons to comfort yourself.
This is human nature.
04
? The bigger the goal, the stronger the frustration.
Regardless of the actual situation, the goal is too ambitious.
Every day goes according to the plan, but the goal is too far away, as if nothing has changed.
Frustration gradually becomes stronger, daily actions become a burden, actions become meaningless, slow enthusiasm becomes cold, and the end point is gone.
After understanding the real problem of our poor execution, how to improve our execution?
I give several methods that I think are more effective.
0 1
Break down the goal into the smallest tasks.
Goals should be broken down into small, simple, clear and easy to achieve. Small, complex, vague, far away. The latter is anti-human Contrary to the brute force of human nature, forcing yourself to yield to the will will eventually lose the motivation because of the disappearance of willpower.
The human brain likes to do simple and concrete things, and instinctively resists things that are too complicated.
The author of a book tells a story of climbing a mountain with friends. The mountain is steep and almost vertical, with a series of ladders hanging on it, all the way to the top. At first glance, it looks dangerous. I have never climbed it myself. I am timid and want to give up.
His friend told him to forget the mountain, forget the ladder, and don't think about going to the top of the mountain, and don't think about planning in advance. All you have to do is focus on the next step.
Sure enough, the author absorbed himself and took the first step, which was not bad. Then the second step, which is also quite good. Then the third step, step by step, succeeded in climbing the mountain.
The same applies to breaking down a plan into small goals and taking action to implement them step by step.
02
Go before you know it
We have all heard that "where there is a will, there is a way" and "if you think in place, you will keep up with your actions".
Many inspirational bestsellers also advocate that "thought determines behavior", that is, people can change their behavior through their own imagination and willingness to change.
In fact, these are all wrong.
If you want to change, it should be the other way around.
In other words, you must change your behavior first, and your thoughts will change accordingly. ?
When we tell the body to take action, lasting action change usually does not begin;
It starts with doing some small moves, and then makes yourself aware of a kind of self-identity: you are a person who can "finish" things, and then produces self-confidence in positive actions.
03
Focus on the process of action, not the result.
Finding happiness from action and making boring things interesting and rewarding will help you stick to your goals, no matter what your goals are.
For example, if you want to keep running, you should pay attention to the interesting people you meet and the scenery you see along the way, and then you can't open the knowledge payment app and listen to a class. You will find that time passes quickly and it will be over before you run far.
04
Single task, clear and specific.
If you have to make a choice before implementing the goal, it is generally difficult to stick to it.
For example, I have to think about designing today's learning content temporarily before studying, so I have the idea of procrastination, because thinking is a very brain-consuming thing, which increases the starting energy of execution.
If you start thinking about what clothes and shoes to wear when running, you will lose the motivation to run.
Reduce the resistance of intervention and enhance the motivation of implementation.
05
positive feedback
If you don't feel progress, it's hard to maintain motivation, because progress itself is the best motivation.
Of all forms of human motivation, progress is the most effective. A small but real progress can create a kind of motivation. Therefore, even a small progress every day can have a great impact on our feelings and performance, because it can make us have a positive belief in our future.
For example, you are a little brother who can play the piano. At a party that your friends forced you to go, you unexpectedly demonstrated your piano skills and won applause from the scene. Even a beautiful girl at the scene showed great appreciation for your performance.
Then do you think this incident can greatly stimulate your enthusiasm for the piano for a long time to come? Even though the last time you touched the piano was two years ago?
For our brain, a sense of accomplishment is the most effective way to motivate.
Many people believe that sticking to one thing until the end depends on strong willpower. I gave up halfway because my willpower was not firm.
But actually, people's willpower is very limited.
The secret of successful persistence is not strong willpower, but adopting the right method.
Too much pursuit of results-oriented will always make you focus on the results and only see the gap between the results and the status quo-which is actually constantly convincing you.
The key to lasting execution is that you should learn how to get enough relaxation, pleasure and sense of accomplishment from what you are doing now.
You just want to accomplish one thing, but you can't enjoy the present, feel the inner fulfillment and your own progress.
So no matter what you do, you will eventually feel bored and boring. If you fail based on your goals, you may even feel depressed and self-denying, and feel that you have poor self-control and poor mobility, and are not suitable for this job at all.
We want to change ourselves in order to improve ourselves and become better ourselves, not to accomplish tasks and goals.
Even if you don't get up at six o'clock in the morning, 10 gets up an hour earlier than before, which is an improvement.
Even if I didn't learn a foreign language this semester, I made progress by reciting the word 1000.
Even if you don't become a 50m-class giant in the end, it is an improvement to become a 3m-class and 5m-class giant.
Change "result-oriented" to "process-oriented", enjoy the process of your gradual change, and constantly affirm yourself in this process to get positive feedback of small progress, instead of letting yourself "endure" and "persist", so that your action can last.

Alibaba was not planned,
But now, right away, right away.
Third-rate creativity, first-class execution.
Better than first-class creativity and third-rate execution!
Just thinking, the dream will not come true! !
Only by taking action can we realize our dreams!
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now!
