Goethe once said: "We all have enough time, we just have to make good use of it. If a person cannot use the limited time effectively, he will be captured by time and become the weak of time. Once he becomes weak in time, he will Always be a weak person. Because those who give up time are also abandoned by time.”
Dedicate the most time to the things of the highest value and you'll be more productive at work. When you use your time efficiently, you gain a new understanding of time, know the value of every second, and figure out how much you can do every minute. At this time, if you worry about not being promoted, it is unfounded.
Franklin, a famous American thinker, famously said: "Remember, time is money. For example, a person who can earn 10 shillings a day, plays for a long time, or spends a long time on the sofa, he thinks that he only spends on entertainment. Only a few shillings. No, he also lost the 5 shillings he should have received. Remember, money by its very nature is not incapable of 'breeding'. Money can beget money, and his offspring There are more offspring. Whoever kills a pig that gives birth destroys all its offspring, so many generations of its offspring. Whoever destroys five shillings of money destroys all that it can produce Everything, that is to say, ruined a mountain of sterling."
Franklin expounded such a truth in an easy-to-understand way: time is money, and only by paying attention to time can we achieve success in life.
Successful people organize their time in a way of distinguishing priorities and use their time in the most "productive places".
Faced with large and small, complicated things every day, how to distinguish the priority and use the time in the most productive place? There are three judgment criteria:
First, what do I need to do?
This has two meanings: whether it has to be done, or whether it has to be done by me. You have to do it, but you don’t have to do it yourself. You can delegate it to others, and you are only responsible for supervising it.
Second, what will give me the highest return?
I should spend 80% of my time doing things that pay me off and 20% of my time doing other things. The so-called "highest reward" thing is to meet the "target requirements" or to do things more efficiently than others. The places with the highest returns are also the most productive places.
Third, what gives me the greatest satisfaction?
The things with the highest return are not all able to give oneself the greatest sense of satisfaction. Balance is harmony and satisfaction. Therefore, no matter what your status is, you always need to allocate your time to things that are satisfying and happy. Only in this way can work be interesting and easy to maintain enthusiasm for work.
Through the above "three layers of filtering", the importance of things is very clear. Then, prioritize the importance and stick to this principle. You will find that there is no other way to use time more effectively than doing things by importance. .
