What kind of time management method
have you been using for more than a year?
This is the methodology I have practiced for 6 years, which has increased my time efficiency by more than three times, and my life efficiency is extremely high. Please read carefully the whole process of this article, and you will surely gain a lot! The following text begins … You may know the importance of time management, but do not know how to arrange time, the result is that the plan is a basket of a basket, but I can not do ah … .why is that?
Because the plan you made is an ineffective plan.
So what is an effective plan? From the perspective of execution,
I will give you a definition that can be understood at a glance. 1. The arrangement of the plan must be in line with human nature, it cannot be anti-human, and it must be able to be carried out. There’s no doubt about
that. If the plan you made can’t be implemented, everything will be useless.
Things are sorted out as clearly as the route, and we always know what to do next.
3. A good plan must be less thought and more execution. It takes a lot of time to think about planning, not planning.
In short, as long as your plan meets the above three criteria, it is an effective plan.
Seeing this, you may say, “Old Chang, we all know the truth, but how can we achieve the three standards you mentioned?”?
As for what the anti-human plan is, we will talk about it later. That is to say, a good plan will not let us have nothing to do, be bored and in a daze, and keep touching our mobile phones, brushing Tik Tok, and so on, to pass the time. It takes a lot of effort for
a lot of people to make a plan every day, and it’s not enough.
In fact, we don’t need to waste too much time on planning every day, but to spend time on implementing and completing the plan. It’s better to have a plan in mind without spending time on planning.
Ok, let’s go to the dry goods and take you step by step to make an effective and executable plan. How to make an effective plan?
Here, I give you three ways to make an effective plan. First of all, let’s talk about the first way. 1. A logical carding plan. What is a logical carding plan?
Let’s not answer this question first. Let me restore how most people sort out their plans. Excuse me, are you like this when you sort out your plans?
Did you get shot?
Well, I have to wash my clothes tomorrow, I have to read books tomorrow, I have to call my family tomorrow, and I have to exercise tomorrow, by the way, I need to make a project plan, and my leader has arranged me to deal with other things.. My God, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west. Are you tired?
That is to say, the way you sort out the plan basically determines that your plan can’t be carried out. Your mind is in a mess. How can you guarantee the implementation.
So what can we do to comb effectively? Friends who are
familiar with Lao Chang should know that I have a universal dimension method, that is, everything can be summed up as: (study, work, life), well, it is so simple and crude, because only simple things, your brain will not be confused.
That is to say, when you sort out the plan: so that your thinking will be very clear and logical, and there will be no leakage, we use this universal dimension to sort out, you see how to learn, think about what to do tomorrow?
At work, think about what you’re going to do tomorrow?
From life, think about what to do tomorrow?
So, a set of walk down, how? Is it
meticulous? Is it
clear?
It can help you sort out the plan quickly and logically, instead of thinking hard with a hammer here and a hammer there.
But it’s not enough to just figure it out through the “three-dimensional method.” You also need to properly deploy them and put them into your schedule, and know exactly how to implement them and when to implement them.
So how do you deploy it?
I give you the second axe ~ 2. According to the time dimension of a day, what does the deployment schedule mean?
Let’s not explain it first. Let’s look at a case first. I don’t know if you have made a schedule like this. The anti-human plan
I mentioned above refers to this kind.
This kind of plan that sets the project on the clock is the most stupid and wrong. It looks awesome, but when you really implement it, you will find that it doesn’t fall to the ground at all! Because unless you really have a very specific time appointment, you have to arrange it like this, for example, the time of the big boss is really pinned on the table by the assistant, but for most of us, we are far from that level. Moreover, this kind of dead thing will greatly increase the error rate of your task scheduling, and there will be a domino scene.
This will greatly frustrate your confidence, and after frustration, you will soon return to the state of doing what you want to do by feeling, and then be too lazy to make plans. So it’s anti-human. Don’t make such a stupid plan.
So what is a human plan?
Of course, make flexible planning arrangements.
So what is a flexible arrangement?
The so-called flexible plan means: do not fix the dead time of the project to be done, but divide your day into blocks, put the project into the corresponding time block, leave a great deal of time freedom, and complete it in blocks.
The above is abstract, not human words. I will go directly to the case and tell you how I use it. My daily time is 6 in the morning and 11 in the evening. Then I will divide this lump of time into five parts, namely, morning, morning, noon, afternoon and evening. You see, they are all included. Then I will sort out the above things. Fill in these five time periods according to my actual situation. For example, there are four things in the morning. I only need to finish these things in this time interval. As for the order of execution and the time of execution, I can arrange them freely according to my current situation.
You see, in my schedule, except for one item with a clear time requirement of 2:30, there is no other time requirement at all, that is to say, I have enough time and space to arrange and schedule these things freely.
You see, with such an arrangement, is the schedule clear? Will it
land? When you
see this, you may ask, “Old Chang, what you said is not right. Which project in the time block should be done first?”? What do you do
if some items are very important and others are not?
This is a very good question, that is, when you put the schedule items into the schedule, it is not enough.
You also need to prioritize your schedule to ensure that limited time and energy is spent where it counts.
So how to sort it?
This is to use the principle shared in the previous article, using four symbols to give priority to each thing in the table.
In this way, you will know the priorities of things. In order to demonstrate the above, I have filled in more items in the table. In fact, things like naps, breakfast and fitness do not need to be on the schedule at all. I just fill them in for you to understand.
That is to say, in the actual implementation process, there are only a few things that I need to put on the agenda every day, and the rest are executed on time. They have already formed a regular habit. This is what happens when you streamline and prioritize your
schedule. How about streamlining? Is it clear
at a glance? Is it
clear?
Now that you know the two ways to make an effective plan, let’s talk about the last way! 3. Solidify regular tasks this point has been mentioned when we often talk about the overall planning method. The so-called regularity is: “those things we do every day ~” you carefully reflect on your life, sort out these parts of the project, and then standardize it, try to fix them at a point in time to do: such as life: to eat, brush teeth, fitness, etc. . Learning: reading books, practicing skills … On the job: Do the table, do the plan, training, review and so on … On the fitness day, I don’t have to think about anything, and I don’t have to think about what I should do during this period. On the non-fitness day, I use this part of the spare time to write and share articles, and half an hour after dinner to practice the piano and so on. These are all compulsory courses.
When these compulsory courses are regularized, there is no need to go on the schedule. When you sort out the plan, you only need to consider the newly added items. In this way, you can achieve the effect of second combing, second deployment, second memory, and play to the extreme. Even the step of schedule is not needed. The above three ways to make an effective plan have been told to you, but you may still have doubts, saying that the plan can not catch up with the changes, when the schedule is disrupted by some special factors, what should we do?
When the plan is disrupted, what should we do? What I want to tell you
about this problem is that the plan can never catch up with the changes, and it is a very normal thing for the plan to be disrupted.
When the plan is disrupted, the priorities you have done in front of you are very important. If the current thing is important and urgent, follow the principles of Ivey’s way of doing things mentioned above and go all out to attack the most important things. Even if other projects are affected, there is no need to worry, because what you do is the most valuable and everything is worth it.
What if you have high demands on yourself and want to finish the task as much as possible after being disrupted?
This is how I always deal with it. My fitness day is (Monday, 3, 5, 7). If my fitness plan on Monday is not completed due to special circumstances such as company dinner, then I will move the fitness task to Tuesday to make up for it, so that the overall plan is completed.
Even if there is really no time to make up, the old often tell you: a day without reading will not die, a day without fitness will not die ~ ~, more natural and unrestrained, follow-up completion is good, in short, anti-human and painful plans will not last long, according to the law of human nature to design, do not have to criticize yourself for everything, leave a certain amount of variable space, there is tension and relaxation. Finally, a little recommendation, many people like to use software to manage, here I also recommend a relatively good scheduling software “ITODO” (non-advertising), want a simpler, tick list and so on can also be.
Early can take it to assist the schedule, but often do not recommend relying on software, oh, these are just forms, I have long stopped using these, encounter the need for memos directly have a cloud to serve, because in my opinion, the project into the software itself is a waste of time, the article is over here. Let’s summarize the above content. What is an effective plan?
1. In line with human nature, people will not feel sick. 2. Clear tasks, reasonable deployment. 3. Planning is easy and efficient. How to make effective plans?
