Sohu CEO worth hundreds of millions: a master of time management who only sleeps more than 4 hours a day.

Zhang Chaoyang, CEO of Sohu, who is worth hundreds of millions, went on a hot search.

In a recent interview, he said that he only slept for more than four hours every day.

Zhang Chaoyang's daily schedule:

Get up at 4: 30, work from 5: 30 to 6: 30, and then go to work.

Until the afternoon 18.

19 exercise time.

I only sleep four hours a day.

Sure enough, the better people are, the more disciplined they are.

In the face of an interview, Zhang Chaoyang said:

"I sleep for 4 hours every day in order to sleep better. If you sleep more than 3 hours a day, you will have all kinds of dreams, and this kind of sleep quality will not be high.

Is a master of time management.

1, the miracle of getting up early

Alina Zhang, the author of Time Efficiency Handbook, said that getting up two hours early is equivalent to being half a day more excited than others.

Alina Zhang is a writer, entrepreneur and member of China People's Political Consultative Conference. He reads more than 300 books a year. Published 12 books.

Why do people gradually widen the gap?

One of the reasons is that excellent people insist on getting up early and have more time to practice and improve themselves than ordinary people.

She is an early riser herself.

Get up at 4 o'clock every day for 20 consecutive years and start reading and writing at 5: 30.

Make unremitting efforts day after day and finally become the leader in the industry.

Alina Zhang said: "Time management is role management. Believe in the power of persistence and do a good job every hour. Every day you spend, every moment of your time determines what kind of individual you shape yourself into. How do you live a day, how do you live your life? "

This is precious study time.

The famous "March 8th Theory" says that 24 hours a day, 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, and how you use the remaining 8 hours, you will become what kind of person.

Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, said, "What we do repeatedly makes us, and then you will find that Excellence is not an act, but a habit."

Getting into the habit of getting up early, getting into the habit of studying, and being good at using the remaining eight hours to study are the best investments for outstanding people.

The difference between people is never reflected in the eight hours of work, and the schedule after work determines the gap between people.

2, efforts have a direction.

When the host asked Zhang Chaoyang: "Many young people are under great pressure now. Faced with these realities, sometimes they will choose not to work hard. What do you think? "

Zhang Chaoyang said: "It is normal for young people to have pressure. Nowadays, young people are under great pressure. Young people can work hard, but not too hard. More importantly, find a track that suits you. "

Stephen Covey, an American management master and author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, put forward the habit of "putting things first".

The author says that important things are related to goals, and anything that is valuable and beneficial to personal goals is important.

Set goals first, and then concentrate on the important things.

The obvious difference between ordinary people and cattle people is that cattle people always know what is most important to them.

Alina Zhang also said: A person who has the ability to control life, control time and self accurately, and manage himself well is the real winner in life.

She reads 300 books alone a year. She said that a lot of reading will enrich her and produce a sense of abundance, which will be applied to work and writing.

Zhou Zuoluo, the founder of well-known "Zhou Zuoluo" on WeChat official account after 1990s, said that he had used other people's parties, swiped his mobile phone, spent all kinds of entertainment time and wrote explosive articles. He had 200,000 users in three months, wrote 3 million words in three years and set up a cultural company.

A famous cat said from the media: Time is life. So cherish the time and focus on the goal.

Because they keep curiosity and thirst for knowledge, they have strong learning ability, focus on their goals, work hard, firmly grasp their own destiny, and finally stand out.

After working for 8 hours, most people feel that they have finally finished the task today.

Most people begin to waste their spare time after work.

Brush your mobile phone, watch short videos like Tik Tok, play mahjong, have all kinds of useful and useless entertainment, and chat with God. ...

I fell asleep in a daze and woke up the next day with nothing in my head.

Others sweat profusely in the gym and swim desperately in the swimming pool. Others concentrate on their studies, see the world in books in order to master a skill or concentrate on reading, and then leave enough sleep time and have a good sleep.

They gained new knowledge on this day, and they will live more happily and easily the next day.

Work and study are more motivated.

The different use of time outside 8 hours, slowly, you have a difference with others, and you have opened the distance between them.

This is the reason why people grow at different speeds.

3. The importance of cognition

Some people focus on short-term interests and always question, why do you do this? I don't see any effect.

When people encounter activities that will have an impact on them at present, they spend their leisure time in entertainment, watching Marisol bubble dramas that mainly entertain the audience, simplifying questions and creating emotions, and brushing short videos.

Receiving a large number of fragmented and rapidly disappearing information, thinking is becoming more and more simplified, and I have lost my deep thinking ability, my independent thoughts and opinions, and my ability to analyze and judge.

All these will make us short-sighted, addicted to temporary satisfaction, and it is difficult to do something of long-term value to ourselves.

Spend money, time and attention.

Our life is full of all kinds of inaction consumption.

Exchange money, time and attention for some material, entertainment and interpersonal relationships.

Learn to refuse in daily life, don't have to socialize, don't like to participate, refuse if you can, because of the wine field where you eat with a smile.

Give full play to your strengths, reduce your burden, and let yourself have more energy and efficiency to do the important things you like.

Whether you study or not, you will come later. The difference is that if you study, you will have another possibility.

People with high consciousness, based on the long-term, know how to gather troops and build towers, and will do things that have an impact on the future.

They will spend 1 hour every day and spend a little time doing something of long-term value.

Cultivate a hobby, learn a skill, read a few pages every day and exercise every day. ...

They will stick to it for a long time, no matter what the immediate result is. The important thing is to make a little progress every day, walk with time and dance with time.

Manage your time scientifically and make good use of your spare time, and you will shine with your dreams.

Hugo said: People who waste their time will lose their youth.

4. The power of persistence

People who lack a sense of crisis feel that time is infinite, indulge in entertainment and waste time at will.

People's energy is limited. Where you spend your time and what you do with it, you will become what kind of person.

What separates people is the winter and summer vacations, the time outside the eight-hour work, and the time to get up early.

You are upgrading the game and having fun. He is memorizing words and learning new knowledge.

You think you are smart and don't know how to work hard, but those who are not smart but work hard will study in a few years and their careers will dump you for a few blocks.

He knows that seemingly boring study day after day will definitely have the meaning of persistence in the future.

He will focus on his goals, arrange his time reasonably and spend his time on meaningful persistence.

Hal Elroz said in his book The Miracle of Getting Up Early: "Now" is more important than any moment. Your actions today determine the direction and quality of your life tomorrow. "

Based on the present, study hard, reserve knowledge and strengthen yourself.

If you are strong, the whole world will be happy for you.
