When the holiday is coming, we must do a good job in time management, do not waste time, and make full use of time.
Today is the first day of the official holiday, in fact, yesterday and the day before yesterday were already in a state of holiday. There are a lot of things I want to do, such as going shopping and playing around Shichahai, but I can't make it.
The objective reason is the cold weather, and the subjective reason is laziness, reluctance to move, and procrastination (inability to act immediately). Overall, it was time management that went wrong.
Last night, in a very passive situation, I dyed my hair. The so-called "passivity" means that we have made a strong ideological struggle and overcome the problems of laziness and procrastination, so that we can achieve our wish.
Many things fully embody the characteristics of practicality, and you can't stay at the theoretical level or the spiritual level, but you have to act and practice, such as time management, forming habits, and forming skills, so you won't struggle so much.
Time management is a life skill that everyone should have. Because you can't do anything without time, time is an indispensable resource for everything we do.
Taking the three things mentioned above as an example, the four-quadrant method of time management is analyzed as follows:
1. Hair dyeing: It is an important and urgent thing, so you need to do it immediately, and when you do it, you don't have to think about it anymore, and you don't need to be anxious anymore, but your mood gets better;
2. Shopping: It is an important but not urgent thing, not urgent because there are still two days, but if you don't do it, it will become an important and urgent thing, if you only have a one-day time limit, you may not be able to complete it; if you can't complete it, you may have to be frozen when you go back to the Northeast, or the gift you should bring is not ready, so you are at a loss; you may not be able to buy it online, and you may not be able to buy it, or you may have to spend a high price;
3. Shichahai play: It is not important or urgent, so it is not done, and it does not affect anything.
Seeing this, you should understand what is the "four-quadrant method" of time management, and if you don't manage time well, the possible effects are: first, it leads to anxiety, affects mood, and increases mental costs, and second, it may increase monetary costs or other costs.
The "four-quadrant method" of time management is based on the time management theory proposed by the famous American management scientist Stephen Covey, which divides work or things to be done into two different degrees of "important" and "urgent", so that it is divided into four "quadrants".
To use this method for time management, first of all, the things to be done are categorized according to "importance" and "urgency", and different things have different attitudes and ways of dealing with them.
It should be noted that for different people, at different points in time, the importance and urgency of the same thing will be different, and will vary from person to person and from time to time.
For example, for me at the age of 50, exercise and health care are important and urgent things, but for young people, these may not be so important and urgent.
So, for you, what are these four types of things at this stage? And another question: should we focus more on the things in the first quadrant? You can interact in the comment area, and I will give the answer.
After categorizing, the next question is how to deal with the four types of things you are facing?
This is the "four-quadrant method" of time management, which quadrant do you belong to at this time? One of the things I have to do today is to go shopping, not necessarily buy what you want to buy, but you have to go shopping.
