There are 8 ways to make your time more valuable.
Text/angry strawberry
Do you feel that there is not enough time at all!
After reading so many articles about time management, there is still endless work to be done. Never divide 1 minute in half.
Why doesn't it work?
Because most articles about time management are about how to use efficiency tools, how to be more executive, how to reduce procrastination and how to improve self-control.
You can really use them to solve the most urgent surface needs at present, but after mastering them skillfully, you will feel lacking.
It's like working overtime to the point where your eyelids can't stand it. A cup of coffee or strong tea can quickly replenish the spirit, but what you really need at this time is to fall asleep in bed.
It is not enough to simply consider how to do it as quickly as possible in 24 hours and work like a gyro. This is just the basic method of time management. You also need an unusual way to manage your time.
Good goods are not hidden, they are all laid out for you to see.
1. Cloning time: sell 1 copy into n copies.
In the TV series The Journey to the West, the Monkey King can pull out three life-saving hairs from the back of his head, bite his teeth, endure the pain, shout fairy dust and shout? Change? A bunch of little macaques like the Monkey King jumped out.
Perhaps this is the earliest that can be seen in literary works? Cloning technology? .
In terms of time management, if we can clone 1 time, isn't it a simple way to earn more time?
How many copies are cloned in one time, and how many times is your unit time value multiplied.
In the internet age, time cloning technology has been realized, which is not a patent of cattle people. Because Internet products are easy to copy, the marginal cost is almost zero, which is easy for ordinary people to achieve.
On the other hand, this is creating a product that can be copied and spread in different time and space.
Like it's very popular now? Get? For the sharing of columns, Himalayan audio courses and micro-courses on various platforms, the speaker only needs to publish 1 time, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of subscribers will get knowledge products.
If the speaker gives one-on-one lectures to readers, time can go around the earth several times.
Some people say that I can't record classes or give lectures.
So, writing is ok, right? Writing an article is just a way to turn 1 into multiple copies.
Teacher Wan Weigang, a famous popular science writer, has a deep understanding of this. In the book Never Imagine, he said he was surprised to find that:
It took me 65,438+0 hours to write this article ... As nearly 400 people read and subscribed to this blog through Google, as long as you read this article for more than 10 seconds, I dare say you won.
He compared the writing time of the article with the total time that others read the article, and more obviously felt the pleasure of selling a writing time into n copies.
Second, the integration value: make 1 thing into n values.
On Mahua Street in Lijiang, Yunnan, almost every restaurant sells salmon. Many tourists who go to Lijiang will pass by.
What are the highlights of these restaurants? Eat one more fish? Fish skin is fried, fish bones are boiled into soup, and fish is made into salmon sashimi to make various patterns.
So is time management. Try to let the completion of one thing drive multiple outputs, and the quality of life will still become higher when the total length of time remains unchanged.
Stay-at-home mothers usually ask:? How should we achieve economic independence?
This is because stay-at-home mothers take care of their children wholeheartedly. Too busy to even go to the bathroom? But I still hope to earn my own income.
Its subtext is:? How can I make money while taking care of my baby?
For these mothers, since it is necessary to take care of their babies and take up a lot of time, can't they solve the problem by increasing economic value?
For example, learning while taking care of the baby:
How to take beautiful photos for your baby with your mobile phone, how to insist on making complementary food that your baby likes to eat, how to read picture books vividly to your child, how to cultivate your child with positive discipline tools, and so on.
Then teach their professional knowledge to more parents in need in the form of paid courses.
Some newcomers in the workplace are frowning at the tasks assigned by the company. Give me so little money and ask me to do so much work, worthless work, bah! ? On the other hand, I am distressed that I can't spare the time to report to class to learn new abilities.
As we all know, the arduous task at present is not only to fulfill the boss's requirements, but also to exercise one's own ability.
So, does a task own it? Working for the boss? And then what? Working for yourself? Double values, be cheerful and open-minded.
The value of a thing is like music. Only if the main theme is too boring, the ensemble will not be monotonous.
According to my observation, a lot? Great god? Everyone is good at the result of anything, not limited to a single dimension, but extended to multiple values.
This is what I especially advocate. Think before you do anything, okay? Why? Reason. If you can say a lot about the upcoming task? Why do you want to do it? You have given this matter multiple values, which is equivalent to earning a lot of time.
Third, pay attention to the essence: trace the source and cornerstone
Many years ago, I hired a master to teach me to learn bamboo flute. I have studied long notes, vibrato, flowered tongue and so on for a long time, but it is as boring as ever.
At that time, I didn't understand why the tutor didn't play music directly as soon as he came up, even if it was pop music like Dream of Red Mansions, which was not difficult.
Later, I finally understood that this is a process of taking slow as fast.
When doing things or learning new things, if we can grasp the source and cornerstone, we should first understand and understand, get through the congestion and speed up later, which will greatly save time in the future.
The basic skills taught by the teacher are equivalent to the foundation before building a house. The foundation is unstable and the house may fall down in the future. Learn these contents well, and the music you come into contact with in the future is just a combination and deformation, and you will soon get used to it.
I can't see any significant effect in a short time. At a certain stage, I have a solid foundation. What have I studied before? One? Yes? Ten? Come and use it, it's making rapid progress.
Like a compound interest curve. The front section is gentle, and the back section goes straight into the sky.
If you don't grasp the bottom routine, you will only be exhausted.
Source and cornerstone are more important and basic parts. What content falls into this category?
In doing things, it is the general skill to complete the task, and it is also the core part of a task. General skills to complete tasks are the basis of doing things, such as project management, target management, action management and so on.
The core part of the task is this task? The hardest bone to chew? For example, the idea of writing an article.
Cognition, right? Meta law? 、? A mode of thinking? These. ? Meta law? Is the law that governs all areas of daily life, such as? 28 principle? 、? Compound interest? Wait a minute.
? A mode of thinking? Is a general classic routine that can be used in thinking, such as? Golden thinking circle? .
Studying, right? Metaknowledge? A concrete concept. ? Metaknowledge? It is about knowledge, such as mastering learning methods. Neuroscience, cognitive science? It is meta-knowledge.
A specific concept is a clear guide to action, and it will not be blind if you figure it out. Like what? Deliberately practice? This word, if you can explain its meaning clearly, it is easy to make an effect.
Fourth, a phone call to answer: use? Answer every phone call? Validity of
Not long ago, a big coffee released a course. In a short time, netizens rushed to tell each other and swiped the screen in the circle of friends, creating the first phenomenal product this year.
At that moment, this big coffee can make many people willing to spend their time and money to help him promote it without too much effort. This is equivalent to using other people's resources to help you earn time, and its power is endless.
This kind? Answer every phone call? It is influence. Creating influence is a very advanced way of time management.
In some units, leadership positions are not only stressful, but also difficult for families to take care of, and the salary is not necessarily very different from that of ordinary employees, but many people are still willing to fight for this position.
In addition to the pursuit of value, another reason is influence. When leaders have hidden resources, they can spend their subordinates' resources to do things, such as their time, expertise and contacts, which expands many possibilities at once.
You will say that it is impossible for all ordinary people to be leaders, and it is useless for me to create influence. Wait, influence doesn't have to be used in the workplace, but also in the family.
For example, if you have an influence on children, children are willing to cooperate with their parents to develop good habits when they are not sensible. As parents, we must pay less attention in the future, and of course save our personal time to do what we love.
How to get the effect of one response at a time? The book Influence provides six weapons: reciprocity, love, unanimous commitment, social identity, authority and scarcity, which can be used at will.
5. Appropriate authorization: Let professional people do professional things.
Before the Lunar New Year, every household should clean the inside and outside, such as range hoods and windows facing outwards. Sometimes, they linger for a long time, and they only get back pain and leg cramps.
If domestic workers come to your house and send professional tools three or two times, it will be cleaner, fresher and brighter than if you sweat for two hours.
And the two hours you spend on it may make you read a life-changing book. Which do you think is more cost-effective?
Some business people spin like a top every day, but you can still see perfect articles, interesting interactions and beautiful typesetting from his official personal WeChat account.
You can easily infer that he must have some know-how in time management. Yes, the article can be original, but you don't have to do it yourself! They are people who know how to authorize.
You don't have to do everything yourself in your life and work. Letting go is a new beginning.
Now that the Internet is so developed, the efficiency of linking to resources is hundreds of times higher than before. It is easy to find professionals in a certain field (such as housekeeping, running errands, taxi software, etc.). Won't it save you time?
Put time on more important things and the value of harvest will shine.
Some tasks seem impossible to outsource, but there are ways. Because a task can definitely be divided into core parts and some non-core mechanical operation parts.
You have to do the core part, so you choose to do it yourself, and the rest of the non-core part can be given to trustworthy people, so that professionals can do professional things.
Sixth, paid learning: paid learning takes less detours.
Now, attending a classic large-scale training will cost thousands of dollars in two or three days, and it may cost a newcomer a few months' salary, even without thinking about it.
However, if there are some high-quality courses that you urgently need, you can save them for several years after completion. Do you think it is worthwhile to spend thousands of dollars like this? This is the so-called? Spend money on time? Time is not renewable, so is money.
When I first got married, I was promoted to a family? Minister of Finance? I began to study investment anxiously and painfully, and even learned financial statements from scratch.
In the end, it is found that the best investment for young people is to put their own money into learning knowledge first.
More worthy of investment than any wealth management product is the young you.
If you are not a full-time investor, the rate of return on investing in yourself is definitely stronger than that on the K-line all day.
Because the skills you learn are irreversible, but the money you earn by investing may depreciate. If the so-called investment is just speculation, minutes will leave you with nothing, together with the time you invested before.
Paid learning, learners attach great importance to it because they pay tuition fees, and teachers generally pay more attention to it and impart more complete and systematic knowledge.
When you are in trouble, the teacher often gently pushes you, and you suddenly realize. Therefore, with less time investment, you can also reap rich fruits.
Of course, it is not that all free resources are worthless, but because in the era of information explosion, it takes a lot of time to screen and sort out the knowledge of the system.
What should I do if the training fee is really unaffordable? There is still a way! Some training is often a practical course extracted from one book or several books.
In China, a non-fiction paper book ranges from 20 to 30 yuan to 50 to 60 yuan.
With such a little effort, we can reap the research results of the author for several years or even decades. It's really a good deal! If you read e-books, you will save more money.
In the Internet age, there are other forms of paid learning, such as the rise of various knowledge payment platforms.
It's easy for you to find professionals who need consulting. Under their guidance, take fewer detours and avoid falling into the pit. Isn't that spending money to buy time?
Seven, keep an eye on the goal: invest time in long-term goals.
When I was a child, when I first learned to ride a bike, I always liked to bow my head and aim at how well I stepped on my feet. Adults say: where can I learn this? Eyes to look forward, look far, in order to grasp the balance! ?
So is time management. The urgency of work and life is like a gourd that floats after being pressed. There are always endless gourds.
In addition to industries that are very responsive, these? Gourd? It is often caused by our failure to make plans in advance.
For example, you didn't predict in advance what kind of ability and quality you need at a certain moment, didn't speculate on the possible risks at a certain point, didn't make a plan to deal with emergencies, and so on.
It was not until the time drew near that something went wrong.
How far you can see the pattern, how big you can play chess.
If every once in a while, we can set goals, make plans and lay out in advance for things that may need attention in the future, then when the future comes, everything will be smooth and orderly, without anxiety and trouble.
Is it so-called to allocate today's time to those things that can create more time for tomorrow? Living in the future? .
An unparalleled trick is to look beyond the length of individual life and from the time dimension of human groups.
For example, start a new career of great value to society and write a masterpiece that has never been seen before.
This kind of time management is very powerful, so that the time you get goes beyond the limitations of individuals and spreads through the ages in the long river of history.
Eight, build a pipeline: build your pipeline system.
Nowadays, if you want to use water in the city, you just need to turn on the tap. You know, the tap water industry in China was born in the late Qing Dynasty 1908.
Before there was no running water system, you had to go to the well to drink water or walk a long way to get water, and everyone could only carry two barrels at a time. Once you feel uncomfortable one day, you can't go out to fetch water.
At that time, drinking water was physical activity, and drinking more and drinking less was a matter of efficiency.
Now even if you can't go out one day, it still doesn't affect your water supply from the tap water pipe. Drink more and watch less the system. If you only fight for efficiency, it will definitely use more water than not fighting for the system.
So is time management. Comparing efficiency with others is only a stopgap measure. After all, there are only 24 hours a day, which is not cost-effective.
Even if the boss has time to buy it for you, it can only be sold for 24 hours, right, so little time.
A more advanced technology is to build a system on top of doing things, even if it seems to run slowly for a while. When it grows up slowly and can run continuously, it is the time to really exert its strength.
Cowboys will do this, finish things beautifully and quietly, and the system will appear, and everyone will exclaim: Oh! So that's it! ?
People who fight for physical strength can never fight the system.
Once the system works, you can still exist without it. Even if you are not at the scene, there will still be income automatically falling into your pocket, which will not affect the quality of life.
You spend all your time at your disposal, drinking tea, sunbathing, doing what you like and killing time? Waste? Isn't this a very effective time management in good things?
Which of the eight unusual time management methods shared above touched your heart?
Many people often say that time itself cannot be managed. However, you can gain more freedom in the future by changing your behavior and practicing some ideas.
Always sing in the lyrics? I bet my youth on tomorrow? It's right to think about it.
