Be a Man and Do Things Pillow Book

Chapter 58
Efficiency means you have to always be one step ahead of others.

When people are dealing with many things, it is best to have "high mobility".That is to say, our action is earlier than others predict, we are fully prepared, and then go all out to complete it.

Many people understand the importance of mobility, but few are able to actually practice it.I often hear people say: "I also know that I need to read more books to increase my knowledge, but I am too busy to spare time." Or say: "I have always wanted to learn English well, but I don't know where to go. Go to class?" In fact, these are the views of passive people.An active person, he will find a way to squeeze out time to read the books he wants to read and learn what he wants to learn, instead of making excuses for himself to escape.

In this way, if you want to improve your efficiency, you must work hard to overcome your inertia. Since your reaction is relatively slow, let you always appear in the state of rushing.This is a very good and useful method, because once your progress is ahead of others and you can still maintain a leading position, you will have a sense of accomplishment and always want to run ahead of others.Of course, there is a small price to pay. When everyone else is resting, you can't relax, and you have to keep working hard.

Find a friend (or a group) of friends or colleagues who do a good job, and stay with them often, that is, accept their subtle influence. To be frank, ask them to force you, put pressure on you, and let you bear their pressure And have to be a little more enthusiastic about your work.This is how competition generates momentum.

Use your own sense of responsibility to foster a proactive outlook on work.For example, for a person who likes to sleep late, entrust him with the responsibility of waking up others, so that he must get up on time every day and call to wake everyone up, otherwise it will affect everyone's normal work.The same is true for business affairs. You can find the most important job to do it.Then in order not to let everyone down on you, you will force yourself to complete it satisfactorily.After that, that satisfying sense of accomplishment will become the driving force for your unremitting efforts, which will be of great help to your future work.

When you lose motivation and your efficiency drops, you may wish to imagine what kind of results you will have after hard work, which can become the driving force behind your active work.Just like when Vivien Leigh took the initiative to fight for the role of "Gone with the Wind" and then became an internationally renowned superstar, if the result does not satisfy you as you imagined, you can also set up a system to reward yourself and try to buy yourself off. to achieve the goal.

Being productive means you have to concentrate.

People generally need a quiet environment to concentrate on doing things. "Inattention" is the enemy of efficiency. I believe everyone has this experience: when you face some serious problems or setbacks in life, you will feel that your mind is full of "chaos", unable to concentrate, and even You could be sitting at your desk all morning without your brain turning the corner or doing something that could have been done in 10 minutes.

An expert in educational psychology in the United States once published a survey report, pointing out that during the class time of American college students, the time when they can really "listen and understand" is only the first 20 to 30 minutes. They are full of things that have nothing to do with the classroom.That is to say, the time of more than half of each class is wasted for nothing.And after the students go home, they must spend two to three times as long studying the esoteric and difficult texts.From an efficiency point of view, this is really not a wise approach.

But it is easy to say, but it seems not so easy to actually do it!You can try this way: start with the simple things first, or start with the things you are interested in. When you feel calm and don’t think about those annoying things, you can start to deal with the more difficult things business.Wouldn't your efficiency be high?

Create a simple working environment for yourself in the office, remove all unnecessary things, including novels, magazines, CDs, snacks... Only necessary files and tools are allowed to stay on the desktop.In this way, when doing things, you will not be distracted, you will not look around, you will be very focused, and your efficiency will naturally increase.

Efficiency means you have determination.

Any kind of firm resolution should start with your dissatisfaction with life.Because once you have no purpose in life, you will not take any action.If you don't take action, nothing will happen. Even the simple act of eating requires the will to act.So don't spend your whole life in vain doing nothing all day long because you can't make up your mind about what you want to do.

Because of the desire to drive, you will achieve some desired goals.The strength and determination of your desire will encourage you to use your will to act, like a charging bull.

In the dual nature of success, there are two forces of compromise and struggle.This characteristic is best embodied by the bubbling river, which compromises with the geographical situation and rushes forward without stopping along the way, striving to reach its ultimate goal of meeting the sea.These two characteristics always complement each other and strike a balance.

The river flows all the time, and when it can't wait to sprint forward, it still needs to use all its strength to destroy the rocks blocking the way, so the river itself arranges the sequence of efforts.Running into the sea is its first goal, and moving rocks and rocks is its second goal, and it will never neglect the secondary goals until it reaches the first goal.

When a person strives for achievement with all his strength, in addition to being diligent, it is more important to have a rhythm and rhythm that suits his own pace.

"Determination" is an important factor that leads people to success.After having a clear goal and a careful plan, sitting at home and waiting for success to fall from the sky is daydreaming.You have to participate in the whole process by yourself, and when you encounter setbacks, you must further strengthen your willpower, stick to the set goals, and never give up halfway, so that even if you do not achieve the goal in the end, it is considered a success on the road of life.

If you are worried that you will often be lazy because you forget the goals you have set, then post it where you often see it!There is no need to post it everywhere, as long as it can play a role in vigilance is enough.They can help you keep in mind what you should be doing at all times.

Like an army that shouts to boost morale before going out to fight.If there are times when you feel like your willpower is a little weak and your focus isn't there, cheer yourself up with a firm tone of voice.

When you are indecisive, you might as well fight to the death.

That is because you don't leave too much room for yourself, so you have to go all out [-]%.If your willpower is not very firm, you might as well consider trying this method to test yourself.

Use the strength of others to spur yourself to stick to your resolve.

For example, a person who is lazy all his life, when he wants to achieve a career, but does not believe that he has the determination to do it, he can force himself to discuss with some hardworking people, and use their spirit to force himself to change. Get rid of the shortcomings of laziness.

In addition to having determination and perseverance, you must also have assertiveness.People are well aware of the power of "following others", and often hear others say: "What are you working so hard for? You won't pay more wages!" It doesn't matter if you hear it at first, but after hearing it a lot, you will feel that this statement is quite reasonable. Work Before you know it, you slow down and your work efficiency decreases.In fact, people who say such things must not be efficient at work, otherwise how would they have time to meddle in other people's business?What's more, the knowledge and experience acquired at work become your personal intellectual property, which cannot be measured by money.If today's efforts can achieve tomorrow's success, isn't this the most efficient result?
High efficiency means good mood.

When people deal with work, they often feel that since they have started, they must "persist through to the end", otherwise they will not start well and finish well.In fact, it depends on the situation.If you have always been interested in this matter, you will naturally not give up halfway; but if you feel upset when you start doing it, then you should consider changing to another "important and should be done" thing to do, Adjust your progress by adjusting your mood.

There is an American friend who never stays in the same place when reading, sometimes in the study, sometimes in the solarium or under the pergola in the backyard, in a nearby park when the sun is better, or even driving to a seaside cafe to read .But he never reads in the school cafeteria or library because he doesn't like that atmosphere.He said: "The restaurant is crowded and noisy, and I often meet friends. The library gives me the feeling that it is a place to sleep. It is too quiet. As soon as I go in, I start to lose my mind. How can I concentrate on reading?"

It can be seen that a good mood can bring high efficiency.Then try to find your own good mood.

Try to list the things you have to do on a list. When you can't do one thing, you can find out the next thing to do from the list, do it first, and then go back to the original one after you finish it. things.If you feel that there is nothing you can calm down and do, you probably need to take a vacation to adjust.

Then, rearrange the surrounding working environment to add a little freshness, and you will feel like moving to a new house.Or you can change your usual work schedule.For example, postpone the lunch time by one hour, so that you don’t have to fight with everyone for a meal; and this hour is also the quietest time in the office, there are no calls or customers waiting for you to talk, so you can be yourself quietly want to do work.

If a job can no longer arouse your interest, but you have to finish it within a limited time, at this time, you must first calm down the restless mood, think about the benefits after the job is completed, the real goal you want to achieve What is the goal, and imagine the joy when the goal is achieved, and then you re-face the problem, start working (this is very important, you can't keep doing things with a smirk on your face), and finish it with peace of mind.Slowly you will find that work emotions are not so difficult to control.

Many people spend their lives busy and busy, but never get pleasure from their work.They always think that they have to hold this job in order to make money.Some people even change jobs according to the changes of the four seasons. They don't know what they want to get.

To maintain a high-efficiency work level, the most important thing is to learn how to find fun in work.First of all, you must find a job that suits your own personality and interests.Just like asking a person who doesn't like to talk to be a teacher or a salesman may cause him to bite his tongue; and asking a person with a quick mind to be a stereotyped and unchanging entry clerk will "go crazy" in less than 3 months. "Yes!

After finding a job that suits you, you need to think about: what is your big goal in life, why do you want to do this job, and what do you want to get from it.Looking for the meaning of work, that is, looking for a belief in life, upgrading to the height of belief will give oneself a mood of reverence for work.

No matter how nice the song is, singing it a hundred times will be a bit annoying; let alone the eight-hour work that you have to face every day, then try to improve your morale.

Try to establish a good interpersonal relationship in the office, lest everyone "look at each other and hate each other" when working together, which will affect the interest and efficiency of work.

Try to see if you can find something at work that makes you (or someone else) laugh.Don't be too serious about everything, try to maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood.Sometimes telling jokes is also a very good way, but don't be too greedy, everything is enough.

With a good mood, efficiency will go up.Some people know exactly what they want, for example, someone works to improve the economic situation, so "making money" is the most important thing for him, someone chooses this job to accumulate experience, so "Learning" is his main goal.When you want to do something with all your heart, you will do it very quickly.With a good mood, efficiency will go up.

High efficiency means flexible thinking.

In fact, in order to maintain high work efficiency, we must maintain the normal functioning of the mind and the spirituality of thinking.For example, after work, you can watch "brain teasers" (although those answers are usually silly), think more about some life philosophies and future plans, or discuss and analyze it with friends after watching a movie. pros and cons.The point is, always use your brain for positive thinking and train yourself to be sensitive to the things around you.

A flexible mind is conducive to the growth of memory, and memory is a reliable guarantee for continuous improvement of work efficiency.Although there are many things that can be recorded in the memo, it is not very efficient if you spend a lot of time filling out and checking the memo every day. Therefore, it is more economical to rely on your own mind.

Ask around to find out which side of your left brain or right brain is more commonly used or more developed.Generally speaking, people with a well-developed left brain usually have stronger mathematical or analytical abilities; while people with a well-developed right brain are more sensitive to perceptual things such as art and art.

People who often use the left brain should do more exercises to exercise the right brain.For example, listen to more music, see more exhibitions, and do more interesting activities.As long as you can "do what you can do with your sensibility", you can adjust your rational life in the past.

For people who already have a sense of art, the right brain has almost been trained, and they should focus on doing some constructive training on the left brain.For example, try to use more mental calculations and less calculators; read more, and make more rational analysis and judgments about things.

There are also some small exercises that can also exercise the brain in daily life.For example, a person with a well-developed left brain can sit on the left seat of the bus after get off work, and then try to use his left eye to see things outside the window, so as to exercise his right brain.

Create exercise opportunities for your left hand at any time.Because most people often use the right hand, the amount of left-hand exercise controlled by the right brain is greatly reduced. Therefore, habitually using one's left hand is a good way to develop the right brain.

In addition, you can also practice using your left hand to do some simple things, such as holding a cup to drink water, changing TV channels, dialing phone numbers, etc.

In any case, there is no harm in doing more exercises, and it can achieve the effect of "not simple in mind, but well-developed limbs". Why not do it?

Memory can also be improved through intensive training.

For example, you have three things to do at the same time. Although these three things are not connected in any way, it may be much easier if you connect the locations of these three things into a road map to remember.

From childhood, people are trained to be a rote learner, while neglecting the development of the right brain that can stimulate creativity.Therefore, if you have the opportunity, try to be an "impressionist" person, and try to use "pictures" instead of text memory.

Using the method of "picture impression" to memorize things can not only stimulate the potential of the right brain and inspire people's creativity, but also enhance memory and save time. It is really a good way to improve efficiency.

The principle of self-confidence in efficiency.

The same is true when people do things. If they don't have confidence in themselves, they become coping when they do things, and the results will not be satisfactory.But once you are full of confidence to do things, your emotions will be high, and you will see difficulties as a challenge, and your work efficiency will be very high. The result will not only satisfy others, but you will also be more confident. Then, when you do other things, you will also be more confident. is efficient.

The power of faith is amazing. It can change the bad status quo and create an unbelievable happy ending.

People who tend to be self-centered tend to act frequently in front of others.Therefore, people who lack self-confidence are easy to misjudge others; people with self-centered awareness have psychological tension because they act against their own intentions; however, people who lose self-confidence cannot see through the tension of the other party .

Stubborn people are sometimes very gentle in public.Among the widely recognized "moderates," some are indeed self-aware, passionate, and stubborn.

If you are worrying about losing yourself, please remember: the person you feel as your enemy is probably your partner; and the person you always feel is protecting you is probably the person who oppresses you.Also, someone you perceive as selfish and willful may actually be affectionate, while someone you perceive as warm may be ruthless.All this shows that you are troubled by loss of self-confidence, but people with healthy relationships rarely worry about loss of self-confidence.

People who lack self-confidence always demand that they must be better and better in order to please people.They even think subjectively that the realization of these requirements is indispensable for their own survival, but they do not know that it is just a subjective need.In an objective situation, there is no need to be like this. Don’t forget: the more you are in a distorted relationship, the harder it is to extricate yourself.

People with self-confidence can see others for their true colors naturally and effortlessly.But those who really need to see the true face of others, that is, those who lose self-confidence, often cannot see through others, even their own true face.

People who lack self-confidence, no matter in front of anyone, cannot speak to each other in a stable and equal position psychologically.

From this point of view, self-confidence does not mean that you can have self-confidence just because you want to have the will and desire to have self-confidence, just like sometimes you have the will and willingness to want to sleep, but you can’t fall asleep over and over again, the reason is the same.
