I am most afraid of being busy, but I am mediocre.

Do you have these states? Procrastination became a disease? Self-management chaos? Life is disorderly and empty? Inefficient work? Patients with serious lazy cancer? Set a bunch of goals and plans that have never been achieved? The resolutions made in those years: exercise, read 100 books, take a test, go to bed early and get up early, and realize the dream of traveling around the world ... but none of them came true! Have you lost confidence in yourself? Do you doubt that you can't grow into what you like? This is my truest appearance before New Year's Day, 20 18. I used to have all kinds of troubles because I didn't have time. I am busy working overtime, so I have no time to eat and sleep. I am in poor health at a young age, and I have no time to spend with my family and improve myself. My family and personal future are in a state of confusion ... Thanks to my good friend Xiaobai for sharing the idea of time management with me, so that I can pay attention to time management, understand time management and insist on reading books on time management. Sign up for a paid course on time management, learn from teachers with experience in time management, follow their example, work hard with friends, find your own rhythm, gradually fall in love with time management, practice time management, become active, get up early every day, pay attention to important things first, and develop good exercise habits. The efficiency is getting higher and higher, the sense of control over life is getting stronger and stronger, and you have time to slow down and enjoy life.

What is a winner in life? Since 1939, Harvard University has spent 76 years conducting a research on human development. Finally, 268 teenagers grew into old age, including President Kennedy. Researchers just want to get the answer to one question. What kind of people are most likely to be winners in life? The results show that to be a winner in life, you must have the omnipotence of 10. In this 10 standard, two are related to income, four are related to physical and mental health, and four are related to emotional relationships. Therefore, a real winner in life will not only succeed in a single field, but also lose other meaning and happiness in life.

For example, the following three types of people,

1 class, busy, busy people can't live well during the day, can't sleep well at night, and live everywhere.

The second category is despair. In a fast-paced city, there is another kind of people who have grand dreams but forget to plan a life worth having. For example, they want to earn 100 million yuan, but they have no time to spend with their families and take care of themselves. Husband and wife relationship, parent-child relationship is not handled well, and even the body is gone. I have heard such a joke that a boss smokes and drinks with customers every day, earning a luxury car and a big villa in the company, but soon his body collapsed. He left a young wife, and later became attached to his driver for a long time, so he married the driver with the huge legacy left by his late ex-husband, and all the money he earned was spent on the driver. From the perspective of career and life planning, the most powerful hero in the Three Kingdoms is not Zhuge Liang, but Sima Yi, because he lived for a long time and the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin. This second kind of person has a single goal and a hard life, but in the end they are all empty. Do you agree?

The third kind of people, idle and carefree, don't want to be so nervous in big cities, just want to sleep, wake up naturally, and even joke. People who have nothing to do are bored. They muddle along but sometimes regret wasting time, but they don't know how to change the status quo. Maybe they are worse off than busy people.

None of the above three kinds of life is desirable. How to live a good day is how to live a good life. There are two kinds of life, online life and offline life. Online life is to be outstanding in a certain field, balanced as a whole, at least not unbalanced, with a direction, focused work and a rhythm, leading to the winner of life, while offline life is busy, disorderly, procrastinating, anxious, tired and nervous.

Some friends may ask, I am so busy that I have no time. Do I need time management? Sure! On the left side of the room is Shu Xin, and on the right side is Yi, so is Wang. It is equivalent to forgetting the goal of life, drifting with the flow, and the efficiency is inevitably low. What I fear most is that you are busy but have nothing to do in your life.

In the process of my continuous understanding of time management,

I found that many great men and successful people, such as Franklin, Da Vinci, Zeng Guofan and Jobs, all mentioned a common feature in their biographies. They are all good at time management. They have extraordinary talent and ability and are good at time management, so they have made extraordinary achievements.

I find

exist

With the social change, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and science and technology are emerging one after another. People are increasingly pursuing a new era of material and spiritual happiness. More and more think that time management is too important. Everyone who wants to be successful and happy needs to master the basic skills of time management through learning and training the day after tomorrow.

I find that the brain always can't remember things and likes clarity, so I use the latest tools to sort out the priorities of things at a glance and can grasp them at any time.

I find that only when I am full of energy will I concentrate on the important things first, and it will become easier and easier at the end of the day. Therefore, it is a good habit for me to finish important things energetically, get up early and concentrate on quiet and undisturbed time. In my spare time, I check email, phone, WeChat or meditate, relax, drink water, rest, replenish energy, or accomplish other important things according to the situation.

I am also getting good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and I use authorization outsourcing extensively, so my efficiency is getting higher and higher. I can achieve the results I want better year by year. Although I still need to persist, I am still very gratified and happy about this little progress. I share this joy with you today.

First of all, let me introduce ten new species that have recently appeared on the earth. Are all variations from black. Before introducing them, I'd like to introduce you to the familiar black people.

One day, Guanyin Bodhisattva visited, first found the river, and asked him if he would like to camel the Tang Priest to learn the scriptures. However, it is stated in advance that it will take 18 years to travel 108,000 miles and pass 81 difficulties. But if you get the true scriptures, you can become a Buddha and live forever. Xiaohe feels too dangerous, bitter and tired, and his life is at stake. Why didn't he stay at home during the day and have a good meal and a good sleep at night, so he refused Guanyin's request, but Xiaobai next door heard it and agreed to Guanyin's request? Learn from Tang Priest in the Western Heaven, and Tang Priest ascended to heaven, even though he was white, he also ascended to heaven and became an immortal.

In fact, Xiaohei is a mule, and he turns around the millstone every day. He walked a hundred and eight thousand miles, and then he was exhausted. In fact, there are many little blacks in real life. I won't list them one by one. .

Today's theme is: I am most afraid that you are too busy to die and you have nothing to do. It is a common phenomenon in today's society that you have no time to drink water and feel particularly busy all day. When I go to bed at night, I feel that I don't know what I'm busy with today, but I can't sleep, and I don't have the courage to end the day. One day is like this, but after a long time, I am very sad and lazy. Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are clear, and those who know themselves can better improve themselves.

Do a little black test first. The following roles and situations of 10 are very common for busy but mediocre people. Listen, look, calculate the black index and understand the bleaching guide. Let me share the various hectic phenomena and types of 10. Only by knowing the problem can we prescribe the right medicine.

1. Study refugees

In this competitive and stressful society, you clearly know the importance of continuous learning, so you bought a lot of books, studied and read a lot of books, even signed up for many courses, learned a lot, and even attended classes at twice or three times the speed, feeling that you are diligent, but in fact, most of the facts are: when you just bought a lot of books, you just turned a few pages, but didn't finish reading them. Besides, you forgot to buy a lot of courses and haven't had time to listen. You have spent time and energy on some courses, but you can't really use them with a little knowledge. The problem lies in the starting point of your study, that is, you are worried about falling behind and just want to learn 65,438+00 books a month, or even one book a day, and you don't know what you really want to learn.

2. Tool slaves

Tools emerge one after another, and technology is productivity. You know very well that tools redefine time. Many tools are easy to use, but you don't know which one is right for you. Therefore, you are keen to constantly study new tools. There are all kinds of apps in the mobile phone computer, which takes a lot of time to find. There are all kinds of digital couriers, boxes and power cords at home. It takes too much time to learn and use them, and you often tell your friends that this is good and that is good, study it carefully and care too much.

3. Martian immigrants

I have set myself many big long-term goals in life, and my dreams are grand, but it is difficult to find a way to achieve them. In order to need all kinds of help, I also tell you about my Mars plan. In addition to paying lip service to the plan and getting a superficial sense of oral achievement, the actual action actually stays in the 1 steps of the plan implementation ~ telling your dreams.

4. Catch the reborn person

My schedule is full every day. I arranged a full schedule as soon as I got up and made a list for myself. I have to do this and that. Between things, time is tight, and important work should be pushed back, making me nervous every day. Almost everything is done beyond my expectation, and the later arrangements are always affected. So, I am rushing to work every day.

5. Fishing cats

Habitually do a few things together, such as watching your mobile phone while eating and talking on the phone while driving. In order to be efficient, or even to use it wholeheartedly, in the long run, the time you can concentrate will become shorter and shorter, and it will become very difficult to concentrate on your work. When you see a butterfly, you will catch up, forget that you are fishing, work hard for a long time, and cultivate all kinds of good habits. One Spring Festival and one holiday, you will be beaten in order to eat and drink with your good friends.

6. Robots

Unlock your mobile phone hundreds of times a day, and constantly miss browsing various social activities. I'm afraid I will miss any information. I don't want to sleep at night, but I always feel something is missing. Wechat Weibo logs in online 24 hours a day, so it's hard to feel at ease all the time. I can't live without my mobile phone all the time, and I can't be quiet for a moment. All kinds of news are tearing at your time, and my focused and efficient working state is getting farther and farther away from you.

7. Fire Chief

Every day is always surrounded by various emergencies, temporary events and urgent unimportant things. Like firefighters, they constantly deal with all kinds of burning accidents and have no time to do things that are really important and can help you build a firewall. A year's plan lies in spring, and a day's plan lies in morning. I plan every day every year, every month. Once implemented, it was found that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Every day's plans are disrupted by emergencies, and there is really a lot of work. Usually work is really busy, and the things to do are really complicated. All kinds of things are really messy. Without rest, I'm really tired and I can't get any grades. It is really painful and helpless.

8. social butterfly

I feel far away from society when I don't see my friends. I always feel that it takes time to maintain contacts. I'll talk to this man today and meet that man tomorrow. I don't have time to do my work or make promises to my friends. There are unfinished projects everywhere, promised things cannot be fulfilled on time, work appointments are always late, personal credit is reduced, and interpersonal relationships are not good. The contradiction between family members, colleagues and friends has escalated, making it difficult to communicate with each other. If something really happens, the so-called friends can't help at all.

9. Perfect person

I always feel that a successful life should be rich and colorful, so I have to rest, go home to accompany my family, have various entertainment activities and do a lot of things. I can't miss them one by one. They are all comprehensive and require perfection. In this way, there is no way to integrate work and life well and to separate them effectively. So the result is often a chicken feather, dead eggs at work.

10. Football match audience

I have never played a game seriously. I always change my route in front of the audience. First of all, I feel that the society is changing too fast and the goal is too slow, and I am worried that the trend can't keep up. In a few years, I will be eliminated by society. I find that the current job is too slow to make money, the boss is not good, the industry is not good, and the environment is not good. I am riding a donkey to find a horse, constantly changing jobs, constantly working part-time, constantly changing industries, and changing titles every six months. None of my friends around me know what you are doing.

There are more little blacks to list. After listening to my above description, please ask yourself silently, dear, are you similar to the role of 10 I said? What other busy behaviors can only produce mediocre results? Not so congratulations. You live an online life that most people envy. You live an orderly, focused and balanced happy life. Please keep it up. If you are unfortunate enough to have the behavior I mentioned above, then you must not understand the nature of busyness. Being busy, standing by your heart and dying on the right, that is, dying by your heart, is equivalent to forgetting the goal of life. If you go with the flow, your efficiency will inevitably be low. What you fear most is that you are busy but have nothing to do in your life. The main reason for the above situation is that the goal is too big or too far, but there is no goal, no focus, no concentration and resistance to failure.

I grew up in the countryside, and my parents have a saying that if I do four things, I will play six things, but I don't do enough, that is to say, I only get 40% of what I do every day, and those who play get 60%. Those who have nothing to do but can do things well are completely rich.

Inferior people are busy, grabbing at eyebrows and beards, but in the end there is no result.

Middle-class people manage their time reasonably and can balance work and life.

Superior people can manage their time with others, have goals, know how to choose, give full play to their advantages and become winners in life.

Offline life is confused and busy, while online life has a clear goal and a free state, leading to the winner of life, which is what everyone wants.

Hearing this, you may say that it's so cool to live online. I am busy every day. There are too many things in one day. Tell me the way quickly. I want to finish everything, then relax and go on holiday. Students with this idea call 1.

The students who called 1 want to tell you that you may be disappointed. You may be disappointed. You can't do everything. Why are you busy? Just want too much, which is why you can't produce results in life, that is, want too much. There is no need, you don't need it, and you can't do everything. Even finishing everything is a wrong behavior. Why? Today, it is very important to subvert everyone's concept of time management. There are three points.

First, let's look at a formula, where r = e * t, r is the initials of English result, e is the initials of English efficiency, and t is the initials of time. The output of life is determined by efficiency and time, and some things don't need to be done, because the output of everything is different. Each of us has many different kinds of things every day, some want to try, some must finish, and some. There are many choices, and the meaning of everything can't be the same, but I believe you have something you can do well and your advantages. There must be something in a person's life that can create many times more value than other things. Then we should focus on these key areas and create a lot of value. Other things can be left, or they can be left. Why are you busy? Is to do something irrelevant, to answer the questions in life, to find their own advantages. Secondly, have you ever thought that no matter how efficient it is, it is useless without time, so we should not only choose the field that is most beneficial to me and can create the greatest value, but also maintain the length of life. As we all know, Buffett and Li Ka-shing earned 90% of their wealth after he was 60 years old.

Second, the 28 rule is also a universal law. Everything has a different value to everyone's life, and it will inevitably show the effect of the 28 th rule. Therefore, if you focus on the 20% key events that have a positive impact on your life every day, your life will be more efficient. Other events can be deleted, and postponing entrusted subtraction instead of addition is the secret of success in life.

In fact, they all sum up to form four words, and the important things are given priority.

3 o'clock time management is a lifelong topic, and it can't be done overnight. This is a gradual process. Take your time. Don't worry. In mathematics, the 365th power of 1.0 1 is equal to 37.8. Some people use it to illustrate that as long as you make a little progress every day, you can smooth it out over time. It may not be so accurate and comprehensive when applied to complex life systems, because all success is not linear, and the growth of life is a step-by-step process, so what we need more is constant awareness.

Don't lose heart when you hear this. There is a way for everything, and there is a better way. Life depends on how many things you do, but on doing the important things to the extreme. The secret of success is concentration, and the improvement of concentration is a process. How to get a high level of concentration through continuous training, how to quickly enter the field of efficient concentration during important mental work time and avoid interference, today I will explain the magic weapon to improve efficiency, pomodoro technique.

Pomodoro technique is the greatest invention of Armillarco. This is a good tool for time management. Procrastinators use it to make their time compact and efficient, and industrious people use it to make their work orderly.

What is pomodoro technique?

To put it simply, don't set an alarm clock for 25 minutes for what you want to do that day, and then start with 1, work for 25 minutes and rest for 5 minutes. All you have to do is set a tomato bell for 25 minutes and then focus on the task at hand. If the tomato bell rings for 25 minutes and the task is not completed, it does not mean failure. On the contrary, the bell is cheering that you have been working continuously for a whole period of time. It means doing only one thing at a time.

Why use it?

1. Some complex tasks that cannot be completed within 25 minutes often cause delays. Procrastination always makes our life calm, but the problem has not disappeared. Don't consider how complicated the task is. The important thing is to start over. You will gain something in half an hour and get a rest as a reward.

2. pomodoro technique requires you to make a plan every morning, assign yourself several activities for the day, and then evaluate the priority of the activities in front of each tomato on average, so that the most important agency activities will jump over and ensure that you have been doing the most important thing, not anything else.

3. An activity needs too much energy, and we can also break it into small projects. Pomodoro technique evaluates each project. By comparing the estimated number of tomatoes with the actual number of tomatoes used, we can get timely feedback at each step.

4. It may take a little time for the brain to consolidate its memory, identify patterns and draw conclusions, use pomodoro technique and rest every half hour, so that it has a chance to absorb what it saw in the last tomato, and then come back to work to see the overall situation, and each has three or five new ideas.

Some people pursue perfection excessively, which is actually another kind of procrastination. Pomodoro technique didn't give any delay. You can only go ahead and start a tomato clock without thinking about how to be perfect. Turn on the tomato clock, put in 25 minutes of hard work, and then take a break and you will be rewarded.

In order to avoid making the same mistake the next day, pomodoro technique should do three things before the end of the day: recording, processing and visualization. These daily reviews are the key to improving the personal process, learning and making progress every day. This has another advantage. At first, you make books and apply pomodoro technique. After you know your work habits, you can make adjustments and form your own set of methods.

6. Survive pomodoro technique, make it an indicator of your progress, and make your work have rules to follow. It only belongs to you, tailored for you. With the help of tomato trees completed every day, you can improve efficiency, complete more work and add fun to the ordinary.

Pomodoro technique is really useful. Although it feels a little silly, it usually pays off. When I was practicing at home, my wife knew not to interrupt me when she heard my little alarm clock ticking. Knowing that my little alarm clock will go off in 25 minutes, I will take a break, give him a hug, reward myself for completing a tomato clock and thank him for his cooperation. But it's a little silly, but I just use this silly feeling to remind myself that the focus of life is not to complete the work list, but also to have other beautiful things.

Use pomodoro technique. Efficiency lies not in how many discoveries you make every day, but in whether you can concentrate. People can't deal with important things when their energy is low. Many parents of my students told me that students come back to watch TV for a while every day, and the error rate of doing homework is particularly high. So I told them if they could adjust it, because people's energy is limited. Doing homework before watching TV is much more efficient, but the proportion of high-energy time every day is very low. American behaviorist dan ariely's research shows that we only have 2-2.5 hours of peak efficiency every day, usually a few hours after waking up, which is also the most precious time for us to open the gap with others.

You get up and go to bed for various reasons. If there is no point, then online life may be a little far away from you. Getting up early is the 1 step of time management. It is also the third year that I insist on getting up early. I have insisted on getting up 82 1 day. At first, I will ask my friends to help me wake up. Gradually formed a habit, you can wake up naturally. If you have feelings about what I said today and want to get up early, then I am willing to be the one who told you to get up early. Let's work together.

I don't think we can waste time and life, but we can't be too busy to death. If you want to live a rich and meaningful life, the most important thing you should do is to make your time alive and manage it well. In a sense, direct management is a basic skill that everyone must have. If you want to have a life, you must know how to arrange time and pay attention to the scale of time. One year of life, one year of life, 65438+ 10 month, 1, 1: 00, 1: 00, one second, as big as the strategic choice of life, the annual plan of mission and dream, thinking about the work arrangement and life schedule of each day.

Today, due to time constraints, I only shared pomodoro technique. If I have time in the future, I will share how to manage my time scientifically, reasonably and effectively, so that you can get rid of these inefficient, disorderly and unfocused behaviors step by step and live an online life. Finally, I wish you all a wonderful harvest in the brand-new 20 20 years and a wonderful life.
