0 1 | The workplace rewards people who create value, not excellent people.
People's time and energy are limited, so how to spend time effectively is very important. If you don't pay attention to priorities, or accept others' entrustment in full, you will be exhausted!
You may have heard of the law of 28. In many phenomena, 80% of the results are due to 20% of the reasons, and 80% of the achievements often benefit from 20% of the key points. How can we get to the point? Introduce the four-quadrant rule:
Important and urgent things cannot be delayed, but must be done first; If you don't want to do something unimportant or urgent, try to cut it, don't do it or do it in your spare time.
Urgent things are not necessarily important, but many people spend too much time ignoring important things that are not urgent. Therefore, for urgent and unimportant things, compress time or authorize others to do it; Important but not urgent things break down goals and do them in a planned way.
When you are entrusted by a colleague or arrange a day's work, if you don't want to be busy, just classify it first. Being busy doesn't mean being successful, and the salary increase belongs to those who create higher value at the same time.
02 | Avoid becoming cheap labor without thinking.
If you receive a task, it is difficult to exceed your expectations by just executing it without thinking.
With limited company resources, you can easily be replaced if you are worthless, and you can't keep your job. How can I get a raise?
Consultants of McKinsey & Company will use the cloud-rain-umbrella theory: "There are dark clouds in the sky, so it is better to take an umbrella when it is about to rain." After careful reading, you will find that this is a good thinking mode.
The cloud refers to "virtual reality"
Rain is "analysis of facts"
Taking an umbrella is the "conclusion"
Form a complete closed loop, both of which are indispensable. Without analysis and conclusion, it is useless to give more data charts to describe the facts; Even the conclusion can be planA, b, c ... it all comes from thinking.
Whether you can live the life you want is not because you quit.
You can try and make mistakes, but you should try in a planned way and not blindly. When you are clear about your development direction and the current platform can't let you learn what you want to learn, you can consider jumping ship. But if you just escape from the immediate pain, even if you change jobs, the final result is still the same.
It's nonsense to want a promotion and a raise without a goal.
This is the most basic and important point-positioning!
Time is fair, people will not be given more because they are rich or beautiful, but the same time has opened the gap between people. If everyone knows what they are suitable for and how to work hard, they will certainly get a promotion and a raise soon.
In contrast, most people don't know what suits them. Trial and error takes time. If you keep making mistakes, it means that at the same starting line, you start much slower than others. When others learn skills for their goals, you spend it in confusion and job hopping.
If you are not sure what you are suitable for, it is also a way to confirm what you are not suitable for, and you can even choose a job according to your personality, interests and specialties.
Choosing the right job is unavoidable, which determines whether you can quickly widen the gap with others. Especially in this competitive era, if you start too slowly, your annual salary will soon become someone else's monthly salary.
If you want to make the right choice, you must first know yourself and position your career direction according to your personality characteristics. If you simply follow high salaries and hot jobs and envy others' success, these are probably not suitable for you.
To make the right choice, we must first know ourselves.
