How to effectively use the time
Productivity / / December 23, 2019
The second step on the way to any changes in your life after planning is an organization that is seeking resources and the people who contribute to our development.
There are three key life resource:
- time;
- energy;
- money.
In this article we will talk about the time, because the efficient use of this resource is very easy, but to do so should be able to every one of us.
"Alice in Wonderland", Lewis Carroll- What do you want?
- I want to kill time.
- Time does not like when he was killed.
I'm sure you've heard such phrases as: "I do not have time" or "I barely have time to work, what's the ...". Of all the resources only time is absolutely irreplaceable.
Philosopher B. Fuller said: "I have lived 70 years. It is 600 thousand hours. Of these, 200 thousand, I overslept, 100 000 went out to eat, to drink, to restore your health, 200 thousand hours I studied and earned a living. Of the remaining - 60 thousand hours I spent on the road. Balance - during which I could dispose freely - was only about 40,000 hours, or about one and a half hours a day. "
The main question is how to spend that time to good use?
Written dozens of good books on time management. I'll share a few guidelines that will help you better manage this resource.
The control
Charles Richards, American pentathleteDo not be fooled by their calendar. In the year as many days as you can use. Thus, in the year one person only seven days in a year other - 365.
Control your time. So that your day was 24 hours instead of two, three or five, you have a clear understanding of what you expend them.
There are people who in the evening saying: "Well, another day passed quickly." And there are those who spends the evening with the use of, for example, reading books, just because it was so planned in advance.
Keep a diary, use the notes, put crosses in hand. You realize the value of time only when you start to notice it. Do not let fly their own time, catch him and force to work for themselves.
Victim
Jackson BrowneDo not say that you do not have time. Time you have exactly the same as it was with Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson Pasteur, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein.
I really like this aphorism. Few realize that we all have the same number of hours in the day. We see people who run in the mornings or time to perform overtime work, and ask the question: how they get it?
It's very simple: these people went to certain sacrifices. You should understand that the goal is to develop a any skill or achieve somewhat higher results must inevitably drive out of your schedule other things.
There are students who are in class sitting in smart phones, and there are those who carefully listens to the teacher. There are those who sleep seven in the morning, and those who meditate. There are those whose ends Friday evening get-together in the clubhouse, and those who are at this time working on a new project.
Do not be fooled. In fact, the phrase "I'll start to learn English" sounds like "I'll start to learn English instead of spending time at the computer."
Always refers to the right, from which you will have to give up in order to achieve the intended results. And always remind yourself that it's worth it.
Discipline
"Cruel Intentions"People do not change in an instant.
Do you have an inspiring goal, a plan is ready, and you start to follow your new schedule. And so the day passed, two, three, but something is definitely wrong. You ask yourself, "Well, where is the result? Why I have not become a millionaire? "
motivation source is exhausted. But discipline It will give you something more - consistency in the work over itself.
Our motivation - hand generator. We get it charge and start frantically to turn the handle, generating energy for change. Looked inspirational film, went to the training, read the book, but the day passed, two, and we are doing less and less until they say to myself, "All right, I give up."
Discipline - is the engine. You design it step by step, are improving, increase capacity. If you enable it once, he did not slow down. Oversees its work and make adjustments. Yes, he, too, will not last forever, but it will be enough charge for a long time.
Configure discipline little effort every day. Constantly work on yourself, to develop new habits, abandon old. The main thing is not for a moment cease to follow your plan. If it is too hard, just tell me: "Give it up, you can, but only tomorrow, and today continues to work." And so every day.
This is not a psychological deception, it is acceptance of the fact that I need at the moment and spend it with the maximum benefit.
What to do?
- Keep a diary, download calendar application, buy a book on time management. Calculate how much time you have left to work on themselves.
- Before as to achieve the goal, Make a list of what you have to sacrifice for the sake of it. Answer yourself, what is more important, and only then start to work.
- Learn discipline. Follow your plan for today and keep repeating it until it becomes part of your routine. Remember that habits are formed in nature.
