How to become an efficient activist?

It is estimated that few swordsmen don't know Peng Xiaoliu. When they know that his new book "Let the Future Come Now and Become an Efficient Activist" is on the market, I will make a decisive move. Although I have read all his articles in Jane's books before, I have forgotten many of them after reading them, let alone doing them according to the methods shared in the books.

Let the future come now and become an efficient activist.

Of course, I know that most of his articles involve time management, knowledge management, career management and so on. At present, he is the IT director of a listed semiconductor company in Jiangsu, responsible for the IT informatization construction of the group and the development of Internet transformation products. Can lead the team, can play hand-drawing, and can draw mind maps; Good at personal knowledge management and often do internal training. I can play SLR, like to shoot humanities documentaries, do PPT, and know UX. Like reading, prefer sharing; Understand Internet thinking and start an O2O business.

But what's the use of knowing and worshiping? It took him only a year to complete these changes. Once he was just a little-known programmer. How he accomplished these changes and how he mastered these awesome skills can be found in all his articles.

Of course, this book is basically an article he published in a simplified book before. Some people may think that I have read all his articles and there is no need to buy books to review them. I can't comment on whether this theory is right or not, because my job is on the construction site, an environment where power is cut off from time to time. Paper books can make me concentrate on acquiring the knowledge I want, which is relatively more convenient. Today, I still spent an afternoon rereading this knowledge when the power was off, which was much better than what I read on my mobile phone before.

Let's share my harvest this afternoon:

This book is divided into four chapters:

★ Chapter 1 Do you still need to manage time?

★ Chapter II What are successful people doing in their fragmentation time?

★ Chapter III What does Bai do in the workplace?

★ Chapter IV What are you up to?

It seems that every chapter is inseparable from the word "time", and time management is also a main line of the book. If you don't manage your time well in your life and work, how can you acquire so many skills, be so successful and become a high-performance activist as mentioned in the title with only 24 hours a day?

The most important sentence I learned in this book is: focus on the important things and make you who you are now.

In my opinion, this book can be divided into three themes:

Let me share with you what I have gained from these three themes.

1. Time management

It is not difficult to find that many successful people attach great importance to time management, because time is the fairest and no one will lose a minute. To be more successful than others, there is no shortcut except making full use of time.

But anyone who is dissatisfied with his present situation wants to learn time management. It's a pity that many people, like me, think that learning time management can take two hours in an hour, so we don't want to give up our time for playing games, playing mobile phones and shopping, while shouting that I want to learn time management. We think those successful people also have these skills and shortcuts in time management. However, Peng Xiaoliu shared his experience with us. His time management is to get up early and concentrate.

He usually gets up at four o'clock in the morning, because there is no interference during this time in the morning and he can use it efficiently. Usually at this time, he will finish the most difficult thing he doesn't want to do, which is equivalent to using the morning time to finish a day's work. He will use the tomato clock to make himself more focused. The tomato clock is usually set to 25 minutes, so an hour can be divided into two tomato clocks and two five-minute breaks. Does this look easy? But many of us didn't do it. Seeing this, start doing it with Peng Xiaoliu. Only when you start to do it, will you really learn time management.

In the book, he also shared with us what he did after getting up early. He will use a tomato clock to write a morning diary, review what he finished yesterday, make a simple summary, check the monthly plan and weekly plan to see what needs to be replaced, and then start "swallowing frogs". The so-called "swallow the frog" is to find out the three most important things in your day, week, month, year and life that you must swallow.

2. Knowledge management

In the Internet age, all kinds of online and offline sharing, all kinds of cloud classes. . . . . There are too many learning resources. You may take a look at other people's sharing and collect it immediately. After seeing other people's free activities, they may scan the code to register immediately. But is it really useful for you to learn so much?

Just like Peng Xiaoliu in his article "What should you learn in an era when everything can be learned?" ? Your interest is far greater than your ability and time limit. We can't learn everything. We need to master the initiative of knowledge, be the king of knowledge and build our own knowledge system. So how to build your own knowledge system?

1. Step 1: Why should I start?

First of all, you should be clear about the above three points. Why do you want to study? For example, Peng Xiaoliu said that if he didn't study, he could only get the average salary in third-tier towns, so this forced him to study. Then he will know how he should study. First of all, he must ensure that his work is done well, so he can only study in the morning and evening and on weekends. The most important thing is what are we going to learn? Is it open to everyone? Of course not. We first need to know what we need most at a certain stage, and then pay attention to the relevant content.

2. Acquisition of knowledge

Knowing the purpose, what to learn and how to learn, we must know where to acquire knowledge. The author shared several main methods with us.

learn knowledge

We are no strangers to these methods. It is Weibo who gains the most from the book. Before, I only regarded Weibo as a simple social software. Peng Xiaoliu said that those big V's rarely send life information on Weibo, but mostly send dry goods articles to share. When you decide your field and study direction, go to Weibo to pay attention to those big V's and pay more attention to some courses and experiences he shared, so that you can learn a lot of dry goods secretly. Moreover, you can interact with adults in Weibo, but this interaction is usually a "resource exchange". If you are reading a book, you can send out your reading notes or mind maps, and then click the author. The author may reply to you when processing the information.

3. The collation and preservation of knowledge

We pay attention to so much knowledge and collect so much information and data. If you don't organize and save, how can you make good use of it? So we need to organize and preserve this knowledge. What I learned from this book is: use SVN and VNP to keep the home computer and the company computer updated synchronously and avoid copying back and forth. Information collected anytime and anywhere, including photos and ideas, is saved by mobile phone and synchronized to PC.

4. Knowledge sharing

Teaching is the best way to learn. Many people have perfectionism and always feel that they must learn something completely before they can share it. However, the Six Gods said, if you don't share and test, how can you know where your shortcomings are? We need to test our ability in sharing and gradually improve it in deficiency.

5. Use of knowledge

After collection, arrangement and sharing, we have transformed intangible knowledge into explicit knowledge, which can be not only stored in the brain, but also displayed. If we can make good use of this knowledge in our work and life, we can not only verify what we have learned, but also improve our efficiency.

3. Workplace management

As a veritable slash youth, Peng Xiaoliu is one of the few people who can do his job well and make his hobbies flourish, so he also shared some management methods about the workplace with us in this book.

He said I didn't ask you to work overtime, I asked you to improve your core competitiveness. Some people may think that people who work overtime are inefficient. If you finish your normal work during working hours and use overtime to improve your core competitiveness, are you still worried about not appreciating and not raising your salary?

He also suggested in When Can We Become Leaders that if we want to be leaders, we should pay attention to what your leaders are doing in advance, when no one stands out in the team. When it comes to taking responsibility, we can choose to stand up, because there is nothing in youth, and you need not be afraid of anything.

4. Highlights of this book

Finally, I will share with you the highlights of this book:

Color printing, illustrations, a large number of hand-painted, and yellow coating to mark the key content, there is a summary at the end of the article, so it is difficult for you to miss the key content.

The accompanying toolset contains necessary tools and methods about time management tools, reading tools, mind maps and even sharing. Some even put some of his own punching templates directly on the back. Well, if we don't take action, how can we say that we have read this book?

It is not difficult to find that whether it is time management, knowledge management or workplace management, Peng Xiaoliu advocates making choices and doing the most important things first. So from now on, learn from Peng Xiaoliu, focus on the important things, and do it step by step according to the method that suits us in the book to see what kind of us we are.
