The two most precious assets in life are mind and time. No matter what you do, even if you don't use your brain, it takes time. Therefore, the level of time management will determine the success or failure of your career and life. There are 168 hours a week, of which 56 hours are spent in sleep, 2 1 hour is spent in eating and resting, and the remaining 9 1 hour is up to you to decide what to do-0/3 hours a day. How to manage time according to your own values and goals is an important attitude towards life. It enables you to control your life, make good use of your time and move in your own direction without getting lost in the noise.

Clear five steps of time management.

1 Define your values

Determine your goals.

Give priority to your goals.

Be clear about your task.

5 Sort tasks by priority.

Make an effective timetable.

Values are the basic principles we want and do, and the most basic factor in arranging time. We have different values, which form the basis of our personal characteristics and time management. Most of the time, we act according to our own values, although we often don't realize it.

What's the most important thing for you? Family? Work? Money? You must know what you need first, and then you can go in that direction. If you don't know your destination, you will probably reach other places.

Everything you do should come from your values.

Your goal supports a variety of tasks, all of which are aimed at achieving your goal.

When observing how you use your time, you must find out and remember the following points:

1. How do you usually waste your time?

2. Under what circumstances are you most efficient?

3. When is the most efficient time for you to accomplish a certain goal? We often plan, implement and modify it repeatedly, forming such a circular circle:

We can enter the cycle from any point in the circle.

The following is a table of daily plans. Fill it out at a fixed time every day (for example, before going to bed) and use this form to remind yourself the next day. Use the "cycle of planning" to persist for one week and improve the ability to manage time. What to do today?

1. Arrange fixed projects first.

From work or class time. These time periods are usually predetermined. Other activities must revolve around them. Then arrange daily activities, such as sleeping and eating. After arranging a fixed project, you can see what time is left at your disposal. Pay attention to the rest interval between projects, such as every 50 minutes of work 10 minutes.

2. Schedule time according to your biological clock.

Schedule important tasks when you are efficient and have less interference. According to your efficiency and external interference, give your free time different points. Then, the task with high priority is assigned to the time period with high score. Such as spending a lot of time learning new knowledge.

3. Divide larger tasks into small pieces that are easy to control.

When you are faced with a huge task and you are overwhelmed by it, try to divide it into small pieces for management, and then arrange your time accordingly. This has several advantages. First of all, you have defined the steps to complete the whole task. As long as you finish the small pieces in order, you will succeed and your fear of difficulties will be alleviated. Secondly, dividing a task into several pieces can make your progress more obvious and you can experience the joy of achieving your goal many times; Third, smaller task segments are easy to estimate time, thus strengthening the control of completion time.

Step 4 make full use of your spare time

After "cutting off" large chunks of time from the timetable, the remaining bits and pieces of time cannot be wasted. You can use it to review what you have learned and do one or two exercises. One trick of using small pieces of time is to divide things you don't want to do into small pieces, and then finish one small piece at a time between other things, and finish the annoying things unconsciously.

5. Set a clear start and end time for everything.

This will prevent projects from interfering with each other and you from putting things off until the last minute.

6. Set aside enough time for rest and entertainment.

Never "abuse" yourself when making a timetable. To make a practical plan, it is necessary to "tailor-made" for the real you in life, and set aside the rest and entertainment time you need to keep you in a good state and happy mood. Otherwise, the implementation will continue to disrupt the plan, which will not only save time, but also make other things deviate from the scheduled track.

7. Leave room for maneuver, and don't fill it all the time.

Set aside time for emergencies. A full schedule has no "seismic" performance. With a slight accident, the whole plan will be "broken" and cannot be implemented. After the plan is scheduled, check and modify the plan one by one according to the following criteria:

1. Are things done according to importance and urgency? Deal with important and urgent things first. Development tasks are better than maintenance tasks. Is there anything that doesn't need to be done at all included in the schedule? You can't do everything, and you can't do everything perfectly.

2. There should be a fixed time to introspect and modify the plan every day. If this part is missing, please fill it in the timetable.

3. For tasks with deadlines, is there enough time to finish them within the deadline? Untreated things often take more time than you think, leaving them plenty of time.

4. Summarize the time in different aspects of life respectively, and keep a balance between the parts. Many times, problems that can't be seen in a single item of the schedule will be displayed in the total. If a part obviously exceeds or falls below the reasonable proportion, please adjust it.

Here are twenty ways to save time, please choose according to your needs:

1. Prioritize events such as goals, tasks and meetings.

2. Start with the highest priority.

3. Overcome procrastination. If something is important, do it now.

Divide the big and difficult task into small and easy parts.

Create an hour of peace for yourself, even if it requires strong willpower, or sometimes it doesn't work.

6. Find a hidden place, such as a library or an idle office.

7. When you have something important to deal with, learn to say "no" to others.

8. Learn to authorize.

9. Summarize similar things and deal with them together.

10. Reduce daily affairs: they are not worth spending too much time. Shorten low-value events. Throw away worthless letters and documents. Delegate others to complete, reduce or postpone low-priority tasks.

1 1. Avoid perfectionism. Remember the 80/20 law.

12. Avoid making too many commitments. Be realistic about what you can accomplish in a limited time.

13. Don't make the schedule full, leave yourself some flexibility to deal with emergencies.

14. Set the time limit. For example, when making certain decisions, don't exceed 3 minutes.

15. Focus on what you are doing.

16. When dealing with important things, use a lot of time.

17. Deal with difficult things quickly. Waiting and procrastination will not make them relaxed.

18. Try to handle paperwork only once.

19. Before taking action, we should thoroughly consider the whole work.

20. Do it the first time.

Managing time is like throwing eggs. You have to keep changing one egg in your hand for another, and you have to make sure that all the eggs don't fall to the ground. It takes patience, perseverance, practice and planning to throw eggs well. Good time management also needs these qualities. When there are more and more eggs and the situation is getting worse, you should have the ability to control the situation and grasp the interval and law-this is the content of time management.

At work, time management should be persistent. You must attend business talks and finish the work before the deadline. The significance of time management is not only to help you achieve your work goals, but also to enable you to maximize your role and maintain a balance between work and personal life.

Murder time murderer

1. There is no timetable. Whether there is a timetable or not determines whether you will actively live or passively cope with the external environment this day. If you don't plan your time, then your use of time is inefficient. Your time has become a cake, and everyone who comes can share it. If you don't control your time, others will control it. You gave the steering wheel to someone else, or you followed the horse. Although you are working hard and making progress, you may go in the wrong direction and do meaningless things all day, which not only wastes time, but also wastes energy.

2. Life is out of balance. Our life consists of seven indispensable parts: health, family, money, knowledge, socialization, career and spirit. We don't need to divide the daily time evenly among them, but we must ensure that each item gets enough time to maintain the balance of life. If we ignore a certain part for a long time and don't invest time in it, our life will be unbalanced and other things will be disturbed, so we can't succeed.

3. The desktop is messy. Research shows that people with messy desktops spend an average of one and a half hours a day looking for things or getting distracted. An hour and a half sounds unimaginable, but it's really so much. Spend a few more minutes here, so many minutes, tick-tock, like a leaking faucet, every little makes a mickle, and waste a lot of time every day. Efficient people, the desktop and workshop are generally clean, so that they can concentrate on today's work focus, will not be distracted by messy things, and can quickly find what they want.

4. Lack of sleep. We often complain about lack of energy. We usually sleep the same time every day, but the quality of sleep is different. Too much stress during the day often keeps us awake at night. This will lead people into a vicious circle: lack of energy, inability to finish work, increased pressure, inability to sleep at night, and lack of energy. To jump out of this cycle, we must first plan our own time, improve the efficiency of daytime work, improve our sense of accomplishment and reduce stress; Secondly, we should consciously carry out self-psychological adjustment to relieve anxiety.

5. Don't eat lunch. Many people skip lunch and use their lunch breaks to work, hoping to achieve greater results. This is often counterproductive. Work may be efficient during lunch break, but eating lunch can make work more efficient. Even a short lunch and break 15 minutes can make us energetic and get back to work. Just think about the old saying that "sharpening a knife is not a mistake for chopping wood".

The four quadrants of time

What we do every day can be divided into four quadrants:

1. Important and urgent: they are crisis tasks.

2. Important but not urgent: They are new opportunities.

3. urgent but not important: they are daily affairs

It is neither urgent nor important: they are a mess.

In which quadrant do you think people spend the most time? The answer is the clutter of quadrant 4, because there is no pressure to deal with such things. Followed by the third quadrant, because "the noisy wheel has oil to drink", this kind of thing is always eye-catching. It is a kind of delay in disguised form to deal with the affairs of quadrants 3 and 4 at the expense of reducing the time to deal with 1 and 2 quadrants. When managing time, please make sure that you focus on quadrants 1 and 2.

You can make a list of things to do, divide them into four quadrants, and then decide how much time to spend on them.

The secret of efficient time management lies in the second quadrant. If you focus on the second quadrant, you can grasp the initiative of time, keep the balance of life and reduce possible crises in the future.

Setting aside a little time every day to deal with important but not urgent things is the way to stay ahead. By doing so, you can save your precious time, and then you can use your savings to cope with the pressing time pressure in the future.

Suppose you have 100 yuan, 20 yuan bought ice cream, 70 yuan deposited it in the bank, and 10 yuan accidentally lost it. The money for buying ice cream is consumed, the money deposited in the bank is saved, and the lost money is lost in vain.

The daily time is the same as this 100 yuan. Some time is "consumed", you enjoy it, some time is "stored" to save time for the future, and some time is wasted.

Plan and summarize the use of time as carefully as money, spend part of it reasonably, persist in saving part and reduce wasted time, and you will gradually become "rich" and have a rich life.

These hours belong to the consumption part: eating, sleeping, shopping, watching TV, chatting ... These hours belong to the storage part: thinking, learning, remembering and planning. ...

These hours are wasted: waiting in vain, doing unnecessary things, and boring trips. ...

Calculate your time cost. How much is your hour worth?

First, calculate your time cost. If you are employed by someone, add up the salary, bonus, office rent, equipment rent, expenses, administrative support and other expenses. Then divide by the working hours to get the hourly cost. If you work by yourself, you can calculate the hourly expenses in a similar way.

After getting this figure, plus a certain profit rate, we can get the value that should be created every hour to keep the balance. This is also the value of your time. If it is lower than this figure, your activities will only be consumed and will not be created.

Increasing the value of time has two meanings, one is to give you more free time, and the other is to let each unit of time provide you with more returns.

For example, it takes you 10 hours to finish a job, but it takes you only 7 hours to finish the same job after learning a new method for 5 hours. Then, learning a new method for five hours increases the value of your time.

For another example, when you can only earn 100 yuan per hour, if you want to earn 1000 yuan per month, you must work five hours a day. When you can earn 100 yuan per hour, you only need to work for half an hour every day to maintain your monthly income of 1000 yuan, thus gaining more free time.

Undoubtedly, time appreciation can make you have more free time and enjoy a richer life. However, when trying to increase the value of time, we should make it clear that our goal is to enrich our lives and avoid value-added means as the ultimate goal, otherwise, we will become slaves to these means. For example, when we make money, it becomes a burden, and we are always worried about how to let Qian Shengqian and time fly away during this period.

An extra hour every day.

Create an extra hour for yourself every day-get up an hour earlier. This method of creating time is extremely simple and quite effective. If you get up for an hour every day, you can create 10 more weeks a year!

If you are an employee, no matter what your salary is, you are just creating wealth for others. Even if your job creates huge profits, you can only get a small part of it. If you use this 10 week to work for yourself, you can get most of the benefits.

You may not be used to getting up early for the first time, but with the increase of times, getting up early will become easier and easier. Your body will gradually adapt to the new rhythm.

What's your next goal?

Everyone seems to open an account in a time bank. After all withdrawals, the account will be closed automatically. Time is our only capital in this world. Health, career, love, affection, friendship, money ... all these precious things need to be obtained through careful management of time. However, have we given enough time to care?
