As a result, things became more complicated, so I thought of making plans. Every year, when we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, a bunch of year-end inventory and New Year's resolutions will suddenly appear in the circle of friends.
The first wave, 65438+3 1 in February, New Year's Eve, year-end inventory summary and New Year's plan, will dominate the circle of friends.
The second wave, Lunar New Year and New Year's Eve, silently summarizes the past year while enjoying family happiness. Pay and gain, lose and get, and then sigh with emotion, all the information will be lost in the New Year's wishes.
The third wave is the wave of returning to work after the Spring Festival holiday. At this point, the inventory has been completed and the summary has been summarized. When returning to work, most of the plans are related to work. For example, what project to win, what salary standard to achieve, where to promote the position, and personal ability to learn and improve.
After three waves, almost no one survived.
However, a year later, you will find that most of the plans have been in vain. Don't believe it? Look at last year, last year.
There is a joke that someone asks another person, what are you going to do this year? The man replied, my goal in 2022 is to complete those things that were originally completed on 20 19 on 202 1 8, for nothing but to fulfill my promise to complete the 50 17 annual plan on 20 18.
So, year after year, the annual plan was not completed!
Isn't it funny? How many people's pain points are written in this paragraph?
How many people, when making plans, are really distracted, really practical, and really do it around themselves? Ask a few questions and everything will be clear.
For example, look at the following plan:
I think/I hope/I must finish it in 2022-
1. Take active exercise and run for half an hour or walk 10,000 steps every day.
2. Lose weight 10 kg.
3. Get your driver's license.
4. Learn engineering management, and take the next constructor registration certificate.
5. Try not to watch your mobile phone.
6. Read 50 books.
You see, many people's plans are like this?
It seems that every plan is not difficult to achieve. Why is it so difficult to achieve it after one year?
Zou gave a good answer in his book Just Do It-most people's annual plans can't be realized because of four words: false, big, empty and complete.
Combined with the above annual plan, according to his book, we might as well analyze this plan.
False, the goal is not from the heart, but a temporary passion, or the environment at that time, such as completing a task, is it the end of the year? It is popular to sum up inventory and make plans. That's what everyone does!
For example, when I saw a girl eating noodles passing by, I immediately made up my mind to lose weight, which was a temporary passion; Seeing that everyone in the circle of friends is taking stock of the plan, I have to make a list myself. This is environmental coercion.
When the passion fades, the environment and atmosphere for making plans will be gone, and many people may soon forget that they have made such plans.
Big, beyond my ability. Just like the plan above, everyone runs for half an hour or walks 10 thousand steps. Running for half an hour or walking 10 thousand steps is not too difficult. People with sound limbs can do it easily, but where is the difficulty-every day! If you keep running every day, not everyone can keep running.
Empty, wrote down the goal, did not implement the specific details. For example, the exam for construction engineers is too general, and there are no details, such as how to take the exam, how to register, what reference books are available, how to review, whether to apply for training courses, whether to implement plans on a monthly, weekly and daily basis, and so on. It is often near the time of planning that I realize that I can't finish it anyway. What's more, I simply forgot it.
All, the topic is greedy for perfection. We often overestimate our ability and execution. In the new year, I want to do this, but I don't want to give up. I want to take a driver's license and read 50 books. I want to stay healthy and fit. Come on, come on, more goals means no goals.
You see, many people's annual plans are doomed to be impossible from the beginning of the year, because at the end of each year, they will spend a whole year to prove it.
I'm not embarrassed, I'm not surprised, I'm not excited, I'm not surprised!
So if we want to keep the plan alive, we should think more about what our original intention is, make ourselves better and better, make our life and work orderly, and better cope with this changeable world.
Then, when making a plan, pay more attention to it, combine with your own reality, make the plan operable and executable, and preferably have specific implementation scenarios and steps.
Of course, the most important thing is to do it at once and carry it out!
