Reasons for refusing others to work overtime

1. Getting off work on time makes you more efficient.

A lot of office work is trivial, and there is no such thing as a beginning or an end. Because of this, you may do some of this and a little of that, and nothing will be completed, so you work overtime to finish it and give yourself some psychological comfort. But if you specify the off-duty time, in the limited time, you will think about what to do first and then what to do.

2. Educate your boss.

Don't let your boss judge your performance by the length of working hours, and don't over-inflate your boss's expectations. Manage the expectations of your immediate supervisor. If you often let your boss see you working overtime, he will think you are willing to work overtime. Over time, he will take it for granted that you work overtime, but it is not normal not to work overtime.

3. Educate your subordinates.

If you are a supervisor, you should also teach your subordinates how to prioritize and try to finish the priority work in a limited time. Tell them clearly that you will leave after work and that their homework must be handed in to your desk before going to work.

4. Force you to clarify your values

Refusing to work overtime will force you to clarify your values, which is more important, work or family? Maybe you are worried that if you don't work overtime and work hard, you may lose the opportunity to perform and even lose your job. But I'm sure you won't work as hard as an ox. When I am old, I suddenly wake up and feel ashamed of my family and my great life.

5. Let you walk in the forefront of the times

More and more people feel that there are many things in life that are more important than work. Especially in recent years, after some young white-collar workers or even gold collars frequently die of fatigue or sudden death at work, people who work long hours are no longer regarded as heroes, but as people who don't understand life. Those who know how to refuse to work long hours will become future leaders because they see further.

6. Make it fun to work overtime occasionally.

Make it more interesting to work overtime occasionally. Often working overtime will also be boring, and the excitement of cooperation between colleagues will gradually fade away. On the contrary, if everyone leaves work on time at ordinary times, everyone stays to work overtime in an emergency. Some people buy rice or dinner from outside and talk while eating, which makes it easier for generate to work as a team.

7. Keep you away from the vicious circle of fatigue

Avoid a vicious circle. The more you work overtime, the more you feel that you can't finish the work, and the more you have to work overtime. If you go on like this for a long time, you will go crazy or have a nervous breakdown sooner or later.

8. Let you make good use of your leisure time

When you don't have to work overtime, you can also make good use of your leisure time to do something meaningful, or cultivate some hobbies, such as taking some classes, playing some parent-child games/activities with your children, and participating in community activities. Instead of just resting and sleeping. Only in this way can you be more capable and energetic.

9. Make you healthier physically and mentally

Playing ball, going to the gym and practicing yoga are all unhealthy. Our bodies also need other ways to stay active, such as going for an outing in the park, sitting down for a sip of tea, quietly hugging the people we love and so on. None of this can be done by those who work 60 hours a week.

10. Let you know how to love.

How long has it been since you talked and laughed with your friends? Do you just meet your lover, children and elderly parents in a hurry every day? How much time do you have to exchange feelings and feelings about life with them? When you get off work, go back and be close to those who are really important to you and be kind to them, because what they remember is not your achievements at work, your promotion and salary increase, but the happy time with them.
