Set a "silent period"
According to your work characteristics, set one or more "quiet periods" every day, during which you don't take your mobile phone, surf the Internet or watch TV. Focus on important work, reading and thinking; Or concentrate on communicating with family and colleagues. We can't overestimate our self-control. Physical isolation is always the simplest and most effective method.
Centralized time processing information
Whether it's WeChat in the mobile phone or text messages and emails in the computer, many of them are "uninvited guests" and don't need to be dealt with immediately. They can browse and reply when they are free, and it won't make any difference. Don't be a captive of information, and don't fantasize that you can do two things at the same time. Even if we can send WeChat while reading a book or handle work while answering the phone in a short time, the error rate is high and we often need to rework.
Deal with things in batches
Batch processing is most suitable for piecemeal work that does not need to be done together for a long time, and time and space are divided. Call the customer now, find out all the phone numbers of the customers who will make an appointment tomorrow, and concentrate on telephone communication. This is the batch processing in time. Visiting customers in the same area or nearby areas at the same time as possible can save you a lot of time. This is batch processing in space.
Take advantage of free time
It is a good habit to use spare time, which is the habit of many successful people in the world. During the day, we have a lot of free time, such as waiting for the elevator, waiting for the bus, and on the way to and from work. The survey found that studying on the road every day can save at least 600 hours a year. In my spare time, I might as well think about the clients I will visit, think about my opening remarks and make arrangements for my next work.
Create an efficient time zone
We can create efficient time zones, that is, accomplish more in a limited time. For example, you usually go to work half an hour earlier than others, or leave half an hour later. During the time when no one bothers you, you can think about something quietly.
Establish an efficient environment
For example, things on your desk should be placed according to your own habits. If you are used to using your left hand, then your mobile phone should be placed on the right, so that you can answer the phone with your right hand and take notes with your left hand. Everyone should have the habit of putting things back, so that you don't have to spend time looking for things everywhere and reduce the waste of time.
Fitness friends circle
In the information age, physical distance is no longer an obstacle for people to communicate. So our circle of friends is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more friends to contact. There are primary school students, middle school students, college students, former colleagues, current colleagues, customers, suppliers, family members, neighbors, seven aunts and eight aunts, people met by train and plane, people met by eating and shopping. You can't live and work without friends. Gallup survey found that one of the key factors to keep high efficiency is to have at least one good friend at work.
Building a healthy friendship is a rich source of energy. But too many friends will inevitably distract us. People's energy is limited, and time management is essentially energy management. Too many friends make our physical, emotional, ideological and spiritual energy mercilessly abused. If it can't be restored and supplemented in time, it will affect efficiency, passion and creativity, or many places are just scratches, but they rarely really invest.
