First of all, clear objectives.
Set goals for your life. If you have been living aimlessly, now you can take action and set yourself a goal, either single or multiple. For example, you can make a reading plan and do it at a fixed time every day, for how long each time and how many pages each day. Clear goals will make full use of every day.
Goals are very effective for time management, just like sailing in the sea, which determines the direction of your life. If you have too many goals, please manage them well. You can set goals for everything in your life. With a goal, you will have motivation. With motivation, you will spend time thinking about how to use your time efficiently.
Second, formulate specific action plans.
After the specific goals are determined, a specific action plan will be carried out. We need to think about how to accomplish the goal from the overall perspective, so as to urge us to put it into practice. In other words, you must list all the things that have specific goals at present. List not only the main goals, but also some small goals. To manage time well, you must have a clear and detailed plan. The more detailed the plan, the easier it is to manage the time.
Third, prioritize.
To do things in order of priority. 80% of things need 20% of efforts, and 20% of things are worth doing. There should be priority, so be good at distinguishing these 20% valuable things and then allocate time according to the size of things. Everything has a key part and a non-key part. Investing a lot of time and experience in key work will often bring high results.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Procrastination is the biggest obstacle to time management, and it is also a problem that every one of us will make. Only by overcoming procrastination and forming a good habit of self-discipline can time management get twice the result with half the effort. If you procrastinate every day, your goal will not be achieved. Then, the final result is failure. At this time, we can use the power of vision to write down the four characters "act at once" in front of our eyes. When you see it clearly, it will stimulate your subconscious and enter your mind. Force you to act immediately.
5. Be good at using your spare time.
This is very important. Don't try to think that there is a whole block of time for you to match, but be good at using the fragmentary time. There are many fragmented times in our life, such as eating, at night, when we are not busy at work and so on. We can use a lot of time in this way, and you will find that once you make good use of these time fragments. Forming certain habits will give you a lot of precious time to do other things.
Six, monkey management
I believe you have heard of "monkey management", which means treating every job as a monkey. We should take good care of our own monkeys and be careful not to let other people's monkeys become our own monkeys, otherwise what should we do if there are too many monkeys?
Seven, do a "time log"
Keep a detailed record of how much time you spend doing things and what you do every day. You will find the time regularity of things, find the source of wasting time, and you can make targeted changes.
Eight, improve concentration
The so-called time management usually focuses on how to save time or squeeze out more time. But in my opinion, the real focus should be how to turn the time you have into time with higher added value. So as to create a life worth looking forward to for yourself. Want to have such a change, is to improve attention, only efficient attention can truly achieve effective management of time. ?
Time management is a big project, which each of us will deal with in our life, but as long as we can correct the original wrong way, we will achieve the desired results, and time management will be very easy.
