The productivity of the lessons from the smallest

1. Sleep a priority

Children, especially newborns, sleep as if getting paid for it. They sleep for 10-18 hours a day. Sleep helps children grow and develop, it helps to strengthen the immune system. It also helps children to always be alert and in good spirits. But if they do not get enough sleep, they become very moody, irritable and difficult to soothe.

Familiar? After all, we, adults, all the same. If we not getting enough sleepWe begin to grumble and angry. In addition, our memory works worse, the reaction time is increased, decreased alertness. All these things are very important for our productivity. Of course, we should not sleep 18 hours a day. But to be more productive, we need to dream our priority. It is the children do so.

2. Practice - our all

Try to lie down and roll over. Easy to get? And once you'll need for that many months of practice. First, you raise your head, then the head and shoulders. Then, using your hands you made the mini-wringing. As a result, you develop muscles, through which you could roll over.

Similarly, everything happens with other things in our lives. More often at first nothing happens. You need to practice, build muscle (literally and figuratively). And only then you get a result. After all, there is no good reason proverb:

Patience and a little effort.

We rarely followed our progress in learning any skill. But if we can look at our success in the beginning, and is comparable with the result, we will see the difference. The most productive people know firsthand the importance of practice in achieving the objectives. Children are trained to roll over many months without a single complaint. We should follow their example.

3. Routine gives the result

Wake up, eat, walk, eat, sleep, walk, eat, walk, sleep. And so every day. Sounds sweet? But for kids it is the same routine as for us "home - work - home." But they do not get tired of this routine, and just enjoyed it. The body of the child grows and develops through this routine.

With us, adults, all the same. Without proper nutrition for our body and soul, we will not be productive. Maslow's hierarchy In action. At the very base of the pyramid positioned physiological needs. And already goes beyond the desire to get rid of the fear of failure. And this problem can be solved, if you keep in mind that regular appropriate action always lead to positive results.

4. Be able to stop in time

Every parent is familiar with this situation. His little child willfully or tired of being in the hands of strangers, he was tired, his cheeks for Tiscali. The child will give you about it know. If he ate, then spoon or already on the table, or thrown aside. Well, if you begin to cry... You can not even guess about the size of a child of light. All around the stops, until the silence is restored.

The moral of the story is that everyone has a limit. Productive people understand it and know when to stop. A brief pause, a walk, listening to music, interesting conversation - everything that can clear your head. All this will help you back creativity and let me tell you what did not notice before.

5. Maximum concentrate on something one

Stage of development of children "saw and seized" just amazing. Who could have imagined that the children are so strong. When they grab your hair, do not just pull them - they pull them! But the best thing that we can see at this point is how much the children are focused on the process. Their nothing can distract, they are really focused.

Oh, if only in adults just as easily it worked. We need to learn this in children. Thousands of things happening around them, but they are interested in only one. We would be more productive at times, if they could be just as focused.

6. Laugh, do not hold back!

If you've ever seen or heard the child smile this cute laugh, you know, it's as if the sun peeks out from behind the clouds on an overcast day. It warms the soul, makes the heart beat faster, and really proves that the child happy. And you want to see and hear it again and again.

Smile and laugh - it's great for people of all ages.

This helps us to manage stress, Supports our immune system, making us more enjoyable. In general, do not restrain yourself, and laugh when you're funny.

7. Talk about your desires

Wet diapers? They cry. An empty stomach? Also cry. Stomach upset? Tired? Belching? Well... you see the result. When children want something, they immediately report it. It sounds like a lament, but the parents quickly learn the reason for, and react accordingly. Babies will not wait until the time was right. They do not think about whether you want to know. They just somehow tell you about it.

No, it does not become ill-mannered and rude being who thinks only of himself. But it's a great lesson for us, it is far from being babies. You should inform others of what you want. Productive people are taking the initiative. Even when scared they are. Because they know that it is necessary to use every opportunity to move forward and to achieve results.

8. Everything has its time

When it's time to roll, they roll over. When it's time to sit, they sit down. When it's time to crawl, they do it. Babies do not jump through the levels of development. Everything is done gradually. Yes, maybe they get frustrated, that have not yet reached any level. But they still continue to practice on the road to development.

Productive people have the same characteristics. They are not waste timeI am trying to do everything in a hurry. They also do everything gradually. To achieve the ultimate goal, they crushed it into many small tasks and perform them gradually.

9. rejoice detail

Feed me. I change clothes. Hug me. Play with me. Love me. Protect me. And I'll be happy. I do not need fancy diapers. I'm a pipsqueak. Breast milk or formula - well, I'll still have it. I do not need a lot of multi-colored blankets to wrap me. mother's hands should be fine. I do not need a collection of electronic training devices. The sound of your voice, talking to me, playing with me and showing me, helping me to learn. I do not need the extra decorations to be happy.

Not that in adults. We need more means more distractions. All of this grievance.

I need to check another email, read the tape Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, make another call, and then I can start to work.

But when you are finished with all this, you have neither the strength nor the time to work.

I need even more powerful laptop, and then I can do more.

Sometimes, for greater productivity we need to temper their requests.

What more productive lessons we can get from the kids?
