65% of young people procrastinate to varying degrees
George Bernard Shaw once said, “There are two kinds of matter in the world: efficient and inefficient. There are only two kinds of people in the world: efficient people and inefficient people.”
The most important thing in work is not how hard you work and how much time you put in, but how efficient you are. Because how well a person works depends to a large extent on how efficient he or she is.”
So how to improve your work efficiency, so that you can work half as hard as a fish in the water? Let’s take a look at the 10 ways to improve efficiency summarized by successful people.
1. WAKE UP ON TIME IN THE MORNING
Get up in the morning on time. wake up is the beginning of the day. The habit of sleeping in is the most inadvertent way to cultivate “inertia”. Likewise, getting up quickly and without hesitation will also cultivate our positive and decisive.
You can set two alarms every day, with a time difference of about 5 minutes (the time interval should not be too long). The first alarm clock reminds you that it is time to get up, so that your body can soothe during this time, and the second alarm clock gets up immediately.
2. CLEARLY PRIORITIZE TASKS
In the workplace, tasks are never done, and tasks are prioritized. When there are many tasks, you need to organize the tasks and distinguish the priority of the tasks. It can be roughly divided into: urgency, importance, and workload.
For example, you now need to complete 3 jobs in the specified time. At this time, do not 3 work at the same time, but to do a good job of time management, to make the optimal allocation, in order to complete one by one.
3. PROPER REST
People! Not a machine! You can’t just bury your head in work.
Human physical energy is limited, the brain also needs to rest, overload can only reduce the efficiency of work, produce half the results.
Properly relax, stand up during the work for 15 minutes, drink a glass of water, listen to music can make the body and mind relax. Keep flexible working hours for yourself at work.
4.80-20 RULE
How you organize your time, this will determine what your life will look like.
The 80-20 rule: Spend 80% of your time on things that don’t matter and you will only reap 20% of the results. If you spend 20% of your time on the important things, but you can get 80% of the results.
Wasting time on entertainment and leisure can give you a short-lived pleasure, but it is not useful for your life.
Spend time on improving yourself, learning or making money, although you can not immediately see the harvest, but after a long period of persistence, your efforts are sure to see the return.
You should learn to take the initiative to dominate the time, rather than being dominated by time, has been in the busy, meaningless life.
5. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME
The world of adults is very busy, things are never done as much as the task of working hours are usually not completed.
But we still have many fragments of time that we can use, which look insignificant, but are actually enough for us to do a lot of things. We can use the fragment of time to complete the unfinished tasks.
A data study shows that only 3%-5% of people can make good use of the fragmented time, if you can become one of these 3%-5%, then your efficiency, career development will be far more than others.
6. USE THE TOMATO WORK METHOD
Each 25-minute unit, focus on the work, do not allow anything unrelated to that task in the middle, know that the alarm goes off, then take a 5-minute break, and rest a little longer every four tomato periods, so that we can more easily focus on the work and complete one small task after another.
7. SELF-IMPROVEMENT
People, output for a long time, without the corresponding input, will always make themselves overwhelmed. You should keep learning knowledge, especially professional knowledge. Only by constantly updating knowledge and learning, can we cope with the daily tasks more effectively and deal with more difficult work problems, so that we can be better than others and improve our ability to cope with the work and be more efficient than others.
8. REDUCE INTERFERENCE MATTERS
Focus on the task at hand and avoid the distraction of tedious things. Start by turning off alert notifications for all but the most important people. Use features on your phone and computer to filter out unwanted noise, and place “Do Not Disturb” signs on your door.
9. FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME
The true essence of productivity is never to distract yourself, but to use your time wisely. Do one thing and stay focused, do one thing at a time, never have your feet in more than one boat at the same time.
Concentrate on your work, devote yourself to your work, avoid distractions, learn to be good at concentrating on one thing, and to do it well. Work must not be trivial, that will only pick up the sesame and drop the watermelon, or even which thing is not done.
10. ALWAYS MAINTAIN A POSITIVE MINDSET
In life, no matter what you do, the mindset is equally important. When you face the pressure of a heavy workload, a negative mindset has taken you to the wrong place.
Mindset largely determines the success or failure of our work, fast or slow. So do not be negative when you encounter trouble, first of all, you should actively look for a breakthrough, how to make yourself a shortcut in the heavy workload, with this mindset to deal with work, work efficiency will change a lot. If a negative mindset arises, it may be worthwhile to place the work for a few minutes to adjust their mindset before starting.
What would your life be like without procrastination?
Chances are, you’ll be more confident, healthier, more successful, wealthier, happier, and enjoy life.
The time troubled by procrastination can actually be used to do more valuable things. The mental exhaustion that procrastination brings on you. In fact, you can live a freer and happier life. You need to defeat the powerful enemy of procrastination. I believe that after overcoming procrastination, you will find spiritual fulfillment and greater career success.Fill your life with confidence and laughter. An easy and productive life is simply wonderful.
