Being methodical and conscientious in life can help us win more chances of success. Unsuccessful people have different personalities, but successful people always have many common characteristics.
Robert Prasad is a world-famous investment expert, and many successful mergers and acquisitions of world-class big companies come from him. He has revealed that "neatness and cleanliness" is an important indicator when he is ready to consider buying a company or enterprise. He believes that a lot of information about a company can be obtained from the cleanliness of the hall: is the carpet clean? Are there any new scratches on the wallpaper and paint? Is the ashtray full of soot? Do newspapers and magazines often change? If a building looks messy, it usually means that other aspects of the company lack effective management. In his view, chaos is a warning signal.
The success of Grove and Robert Prasad benefits from a common feature, that is, they pay attention to neatness and organization. Experienced secretaries and auto mechanics all know the great convenience brought by neatness. If you classify files, documents and archival materials, you can save a lot of time and trouble in the future. Mechanical maintenance workers should race against time to troubleshoot, and the maintenance tools should be placed in boxes or covers of different specifications, so they can just stare at the machine or parts being repaired without being distracted to find tools; After the work is finished, they will also put things back in time.
Charles schulz is famous for creating the cartoon character Snoopy in the popular cartoon Peanut. He likes neatness very much and has tasted the benefits of neatness.
His studio is spotless, his writing desk is extremely clean and tidy, and his painting tools are placed in a very orderly way. When he paints, he can get the tools he needs without raising his head and reaching out, so his work efficiency is quite high.
For Schultz, neatness means arranging things and things in an orderly way. This is an effective skill to use time, so you don't have to be distracted by what you are looking for at work. The less distractions, the more you can concentrate on your work and the higher your work efficiency. Anyway, used items must be put in a fixed place, so why not put them in a place where they can be easily found next time?
Jack Welch listed "organizational confusion" as an important reason for the inefficiency of many companies. If things are not done well, the work is unplanned and unorganized, and a lot of energy and physical strength are wasted, and nothing will be achieved in the end. People who do things in disorder have no effect no matter what they do. And an orderly person, even if his talent is average, can often achieve considerable success in his career.
Many successful people are efficient people. They have long understood that neatness can save time and improve work efficiency. We should also ask ourselves to be organized and tidy in our life and work. From now on, paying attention to order and neatness will save us a lot of precious time and improve our work efficiency.
