0 1 List the important tasks of the day.

Most people are in a daze all day. They don't know what they did during the day before going to bed at night. They seem to have done a lot of things, but they seem to have done nothing important.

To get rid of this "muddling along" state, it is best to list the most important tasks every day and write them in notebooks, memos and lists. You can add or delete them at any time. Finish one thing and cross one off. Don't underestimate this step. It will clearly tell you how many things you have done in a day.

Write down the tasks of the day: to-do list

For example, I don't usually bring my notebook, so I set up an inspiration collection station in my impression notes to collect things to be dealt with and sudden inspiration at any time every month.

Can be synchronized in real time, so that I can make the best choice at the right time, avoid choosing, overcome difficulties, collect information and take the lead.

Find your efficient time.

Everyone has their own efficient time, some in the morning, some in the evening, some at noon or afternoon. To improve the efficiency of using your unit time, you must first find your own efficient time period.

Try to put the same task in different time periods and do a simple test. For example, I find that writing is suitable for me in the morning and noisy at night, which is suitable for reading and sports. This is the general arrangement.

After defining your efficient time period, try to put the tasks that burn your brain every day or want to be completed perfectly in this time period to ensure the efficient use of your brain. For example, the core hard skills to be cultivated are completed in this time period.

Stay away from distractions and stay focused.

At work, mobile phones are always our natural enemies, so it is difficult for us to turn a deaf ear to the voice of "Ding Dong" and turn a blind eye to black-screen mobile phones with small light spots.

As a result, I can't help but brush Weibo, watch WeChat group and turn over friends circle? Time passed before you knew it. What should I do?

It is recommended to keep the mobile phone away from or mute when working. Don't worry, I'll call you if it's urgent. Recently, I used this software of forest, and I feel very good. I recommend it to everyone.

Forest focuses on software.

The time for planting trees is 30 minutes at a time. During these 30 minutes, don't play with your mobile phone, the tree will keep growing. When the page is changed and the phone is swiped, the tree dies, and generally there is no mind to play with the phone.

Many things are done in a whole time. The purpose of doing this is to keep yourself focused for a long time, and to avoid the sudden breaking of the thoughts that have been gathered hard, which will increase the invalid loss of time.

Rational use of debris time

Many people say that I am busy every day. I have a lot of things I want to do, but I have no time to do it.

In fact, in addition to the whole time of work and self-study, we also have a lot of fragmented time every day, such as waiting for the bus, taking a bus, taking a nap after dinner, queuing and so on. These fragmentation time can be used to deal with some fragmentation things.

For example, WeChat replies messages, transfers money to someone, looks for paintings and calligraphy, makes phone calls and so on. Time is flexible, we can't create more time, but we can choose which time is suitable for what, because time is a choice.

Long-term use of fragmented time to deal with fragmented things can save amazing whole time to do things that need to be done in the whole time, such as focusing on reading, creating and accompanying children.

05 reduce the switching frequency

Many people like to do two things at once. It is understandable if these two things do not interfere with each other.

However, if the processing power of your brain CPU is not strong enough, it is suggested to reduce the switching frequency as much as possible, because it is important to make overall planning and avoid losses, so you need to find a balance yourself.

For example, some people think it's a waste of time when I decorate my account. Actually, I don't usually do it. The decoration was done while watching the program on weekends.

Started centralized recording, and finally unified decoration.

The layer working method mentioned in Jin Jing, a copper mine, is used here. The working principle is the same as PS, that is, the homogeneous things are put together.

The advantage of this is to reduce the switching consumption between different quality workshops, and it is also a typical way to use time efficiently.

06 Clarify the purpose of the task

People are naturally multi-threaded animals, so we often go astray when dealing with tasks.

For example, a meeting should have the theme of the meeting and the problems to be solved, otherwise the long-term discussion will have no results and no clear solutions.

When doing things, you must be clear about the purpose of the task-what I am doing here, what is the main task at the moment, and where I have done it. After being clear, my thoughts will not be easily diverted, and it will be easier to do the current thing efficiently and intently.

Learn to say no bravely.

In life and work, you often encounter things that don't belong to you. Someone asked you to do it for you. Because of face, you were embarrassed to refuse, so you helped. Once it is done, it doesn't matter, and it has to be maintained and tracked in the future. Things that don't belong to you eventually become things that don't belong to each other, but become your things.

The root cause is that I can't say no bravely. As a result, this monkey climbed onto your back and couldn't shake it off.

As adults, we should understand that the most important thing is efficiency, not face. We should learn to say no at the right time and not waste time on unnecessary things.

Squeeze, give yourself time.

When many people say "I don't have time", it's not necessarily that they really don't have time, but that they don't want to give up or reduce the time for doing A to do B. But in fact, when more urgent and important things happen, those who seem to be busy every day can still find time to finish.
