In the long process of evolution, wild animals want to survive, they have to change their lazy instincts, let themselves run, to avoid predators or hunt for food.
If a person cannot restrain his instinctive bad habits and strive to develop good habits that improve his ability to survive, then he will be at a disadvantage in the level of evolution, and he will be more likely to be eliminated by society.
The energy brought by good habits can support people's lives more, and the impact of bad habits is enough to destroy people's lives.
If we look carefully, we will find that whether it is in life or work, all people who are well mixed often have good time management habits.
The value of time management is far greater than we initially thought.
Because time is a series of footprints in our lives.
Only by managing our time can we reach a higher and farther level.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the nine-foot platform begins with the foundation of the earth.
The [Time BookList] shared today has become the starting point for our progress.
1 The Psychology of Procrastination
The first thing you need to do to learn time management is to kick out the stumbling block of "procrastination."
Because, for procrastinators, the biggest fear is entanglement with time.
The ancient Greeks believed that time was divided into clock time and immersion time.
Clock time is objective hand time.
Immersing yourself in time is a subjective feeling of the passage of time.
Sometimes we feel that time passes quickly, such as when we go back to sleep, we are almost late when we wake up; sometimes we feel that time passes very slowly, such as waiting in line outside the toilet when we are about to have diarrhea, and every second is torment.
For procrastinators, they perceive problems most of the time, lose their sense of direction in the passage of time, and the past time always hinders their progress.
The Psychology of Procrastination is not about helping us eliminate procrastination once and for all, it's about teaching us to control our trade-offs and trade-offs.
If procrastinators want to learn the trade-offs, they must feel the "mature time" introduced in the book, that is, actively acknowledge and accept objective time and subjective time, and have the ability to freely transition and switch between the two.
2 "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"
Brush vibrato, chase web dramas, play games... The virtual thrill and overwhelming traffic of information are always squandering our limited time.
When we are faced with more and more fragmented and complex work, it is easy to be overwhelmed and do not know where to start.
Even like ostriches, choose to procrastinate and escape.
This vicious circle of "anxiety, procrastination, more anxiety, and further procrastination" involuntarily brings us into a strong sense of self-blame and cannot extricate ourselves.
If a worker desires to do a good thing, he must first use it.
"Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" is a weapon to help us simplify complexity, improve efficiency, and improve our lives.
Living in such a competitive society, we must learn to educate ourselves, invest in ourselves, and keep our bodies, spirits, and minds in a healthy state so that we can keep up with the pace of social development.
3 "Xiao Qiang Promotion"
Don't be fooled by the name of the book.
This book is not a book for little children to see, but a great wisdom about time management.
Through the communication stories of Xiao Qiang and Lao Fu, we can see how a positive energy Xiao Qiang can overcome pressure, manage time, and achieve growth.
As newcomers to the workplace, we often fall into a state of "blindness", that is, we can't find a clue in the tedious transactional work.
However, remember: good people have excellent systems, ordinary people have ordinary systems, and people who fail do not have systems.
Once you follow the author's "four-quadrant rule" method of time management, divide what you want to do into four quadrants according to priorities.
We will find that everything seems to be suddenly open.
4 "Dark Time"
I don't know if you've ever noticed something that when you study or work, it's very painful in the morning or in the afternoon.
However, on weekends or holidays, we often swipe a video for a while, play two games, and half a day passes.
Also, more often than not, we feel like we've been busy for a day, and we feel like we haven't done anything, and that's how the day goes.
In fact, the imperceptible passage of time is "dark time."
In life, there are many insignificant dark times that inadvertently pass by our hands.
The book "Dark Time" helps us identify and use these humble moments.
If we follow the author's instructions, get rid of external distractions, enter a brief state of concentration, or think through a problem, or get a small thing done.
We will find that these accumulating "dark times" are enough to make our lives undergo unimaginable qualitative changes.
5 "Strange Life"
When we feel like we're getting slacker and less enthusiastic about trying, we should all take a look at this book.
The author, Lyubichev, is a man of self-discipline to the point of astonishment.
He spent almost all his decades planning his life.
He insisted on recording the time spent on everything from work, drinking tea, walking, etc., and the error was all controlled within 15 minutes.
A week of review, a month-end summary, a year-end summary, he constantly urged himself to improve his work efficiency by calculating the cost of time.
In constantly recording, reviewing and reflecting, Lyubishev found his own efficient rhythm.
While we are still anxious about time and trying to tame it, Lyubishev shakes us with his alternative view of time.
He spent his life managing experiments, internalizing himself as a unit of measurement of time, cultivating a biological table with both sensation and perception in the depths of the body.
As an ordinary person, with a natural sense of time, we can clearly know what we are living for and where the meaning of survival is.
