The executive power of "thinking, knowing, learning and doing"

At noon last Friday, I received an urgent task: I will go to work next Monday and need to submit the meeting materials for next year's budget. You know, at present, these budgets only stay on the basis of listing five project names, and other information is still in your mind like paste. It happened that I was on duty this Saturday. I calmly thought that I still had time tomorrow, so I put it aside that afternoon.

The following Saturday, after I arrived at work, I had breakfast, had a daily check-up, cleaned up my desk, and made various grinders. Beneath the surface of everything lies the fact that I am putting off an important and difficult thing as much as possible. At this time, it seems that there is a me, out of my body, observing how I deal with this matter as a third party. "I want to see when you want to push this thing off!"

I successfully put it off on Saturday afternoon. Not only that, I even enjoyed a lazy nap. Wake up, my god, it's four o'clock in the afternoon! The voice appeared again: yes, your maid can tow it!

Reason tells me that I must start doing it. I struggled to put myself in front of my desk, trying to sort out the paste in my head and trying to sort out their relationship.

First, I tried to divide the paste into five parts, the first part, the second part, the third part, the fourth part and the fifth part. Then, find a previous text template and the latest PPT template this year. Finally, I began to wonder, as a report material, what is the most important and what information does the leader want to see? It must be the necessity of the project, the construction content and the budget amount.

Thought of here, I like to find a map, suddenly enlightened, according to the map, sort out one project after another, make clear their necessity, construction content, and estimate the cost. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the text materials are done, and the next PPT is very simple. A big stone fell in my heart.

At this time, I am very surprised. Why didn't I start doing it before? Can't it be you? Of course not. These systems and requirements come from daily work, and I am most familiar with them. Is it because your execution is not enough? It takes much longer to procrastinate, hesitate and make excuses for yourself than to finish it. Moreover, the most important thing is that during the procrastination, people are mentally absorbed and unable to do other things happily.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about execution. I especially agree with Li Xiaolai's definition of law enforcement power. The so-called execution refers to whether a person clearly knows how to do it step by step when facing a task. Therefore, we often say that poor execution should include three situations. The first is knowing how to do it, the second is not knowing how to do it, and the third is knowing how to do it, doing it, but not doing it continuously.

In the first case, if you know how to do it, the best way is to do it directly. However, at this time, a good partner is often inseparable from "execution"-procrastination. As long as you look at yourself from the inside, everyone will feel that they are procrastinating. Especially at work, like the example I submitted before. Obviously, if we are often in a state of procrastination, it will have a great impact on the whole work state and personal state. In the long run, we will acquiesce that we are always procrastinating and have no execution.

In the second case, if you don't know how to do it, just learn it, and then start doing it. If you can't learn, you must continue to learn, which includes asking questions and seeking other resources. Only by constantly completing this cycle can we learn, achieve and finally internalize our abilities. However, at this time, most of us often choose to give up, or give up on the pretext of "being busy" and close the door called "learning". This action is tantamount to closing the door of our own "growth".

In the third case, I know how to do it, and I have done it, but I haven't done it continuously. This should be the state of most people. Any knowledge, skill, ability and even dealing with people need to be practiced repeatedly, practiced repeatedly and practiced repeatedly.

Therefore, the so-called executive power will eventually precipitate into the specific behavior of "thinking, knowing, learning and doing". The distance between them is far away, and it takes a long time to reach and cross.

Moreover, at work, it is easy for us to feel impetuous and confused at a certain period, even at a certain age. I think it has a lot to do with insufficient execution during this period. So at work, we also need to pay attention to the deliberate practice of two kinds of thinking consciousness.

First of all, refuse to be a giant of thought and a dwarf of action.

Many times, the reason for our lack of execution is to think too much and do too little, and become a typical "talker". "How difficult it will be, how difficult it will be, how much trouble it will be, and there will definitely be some problems." But in fact, thinking without action is not only of low value and lack of energy, but also often negative and even biased, because it is formed based on personal subjective factors. In addition, too many ideas will consume time and attention. You know, attention is such a precious resource for us now.

Often when you do it directly, you will find that this thing is not as complicated and difficult to achieve as we thought. Thinking in action can not only produce better ideas, but also allow us to constantly correct our ideological deviations and get closer to real cognition.

Secondly, try to label things positively.

What is the significance of doing this? If the answer is no, it will often make us delay more, so we might as well try to find a positive label for everything we have to do. Believe me, you will find a positive factor. For example, many people always complain: just give me this salary and let me do the work of several people. This is a typical mentality of "working for the boss", but what if we change this mentality into "working for ourselves" and "working for the boss" by the way? So will we have different requirements for the result and quality of our work? Because we have achieved satisfactory results and quality in every place, in the end, our future will definitely be different.
