"Attention is the scarcest resource"

The first thing to do when you come to work every morning is to pull out your pen cap and write the date on the post-it note? The above sentence:

Attention is the most scarce resource.

The first time I saw this sentence, it should be in Li Xiaolai's Take Time as a Friend. I use this sentence every day to remind myself that every minute of attention comes at a price.

If you spend half an hour chatting and fishing, you will lose half an hour of work output.

I'm doing what I'm doing, but I'm thinking about other things: I didn't draw symmetrical eyebrows, what I ate at noon, what I did in the afternoon ..... These are all distractions, and I can't achieve a completely focused flow state.

Because of this, I can develop a critical eye when reading information: Can I learn anything from this news? Do I need to spend more time concentrating after reading this gossip and joke?

After the work speed is improved, the deepest feeling is that if you don't put your mind (think about other things when doing things), not only will the quality and efficiency of doing things be greatly reduced, but more importantly, your thinking will become chaotic and absent-minded, and it will be in a chaotic state, which is not full at all.

Only when I am doing this, when I am thinking about this, will I feel "making good use of every minute".

I saw a good question and answer on Weibo yesterday:

Q: What should I do if I want to make progress but I am always procrastinating and lazy?

Answer: You should allow procrastination and laziness, which is part of the completion.

Looking back at study and work, this sentence is indeed true. All the completion is not 100% efficient use of time, and the process is bound to be accompanied by delay and laziness.

We can allow the process of getting things done to consist of relaxation. Zhang Wei did it and relaxed.

However, distraction and distraction are not allowed, which means that the time block that constitutes "Zhang" has created countless loopholes in time.

Attention is the most scarce resource. Once you have done one thing, you can't think about anything else in your mind, otherwise wasting time is equivalent to fighting for money.

In the words of oil tycoon Rockefeller, he is called "the man who steals time from himself".

My WeChat signature and signature are just variations of this sentence:

Focus on one of the most important things.

Do one of the most important things in a period of time, concentrate on one thing, and only think about this one thing.

Any thoughts such as distraction and distraction are a waste of time, and wasting time is tantamount to killing people for money!

Remember, attention is the scarcest resource.

What kind of person you can become is hidden in the traces of using time.
