See the facts, in order to solve the problem of motivation;
Strong feelings, in order to solve the problem of motivation;
In-depth analysis: in order to find a solution;
Continuous action: in order to produce practical results.
Without any one of these four components, change is difficult to occur.
For example, such a case:
Xiaohong after a day of busy, dragging the tired body to go home, buy food, cooking, washing dishes, accompanied by the child to write homework, etc., it is not easy for the child to fall asleep, it is already too late, and would like to recharge their spare time, not to mention the time, not even the energy. Think of the boss during the day to yell, statements how so many errors, acid suddenly surged to the heart: "Alas, every day is a variety of busy, big and small pile, when is the head ah.
It can be seen, using the "4 stages of behavioral change" analysis, Xiaohong has been physically and mentally exhausted because:
Only the "busy" feeling, but not the fact that; only day after day of action, but not the action of the "in-depth analysis".
The reason for this is that there is only the feeling of being "busy", but not the reality.
Behavior is hard to change, the reasons are there.
(a) Record "time log"
An important way to apply the "4 stages of behavior change" to time management is to keep a "time log".
An important way to apply the 4 stages of behavior change to time management is to keep a time log.
There are 3 steps to keeping a time log:
One of the 3 steps of a time log: recording.
When do we log? The time to log is when we are feeling unproductive and busy.
How long to log? No more than 3 days, we can use big data to find out what's wrong.
What are the principles of recording? Not according to the time period to write the work content, but according to the work content to write time. That is, when a behavioral switch occurs, it is recorded. For example, 8:00-9:00 in writing a summary, a temporary notice to go to the meeting immediately, the behavior has changed, this moment should be recorded.
What is a good way to recommend? Just use the Excel table, time, task name, spend hours *** 3 columns. There is a small trick, the mouse point to the cell, with the shortcut "ctrl + shift +;", the cell will automatically display the current time, very convenient.
Time Log 3 Step 2: statistical analysis, to find out how to improve the program.
Analyze the big data of the time log to find the real reason for low efficiency.
There are three principles:
Decide on goals. For example, for a daily to-do list, decide on the most important goal that you want to accomplish no matter what, and avoid trivial things for now.
Stay aware. Imagine yourself as a bystander, looking at yourself objectively, with or without distractions, and staying focused.
Correct anytime. When you encounter a distraction that causes you to lose sight of your goal, utilize your awareness to correct it in time.
Time Log 3 Step 3: Modify behavior.
Mr. Xiao Qiang gave 3 real cases in the class:
a) When constantly interrupted by new tasks, deal with the most important ones, with clear goals.
b) When there are more temporary interruptions at work, analyze the big data of time logs to find the time period when work is less likely to be interrupted, and work on important tasks during this period.
The most important thing is that the method you find must be the most suitable for you
c) An important thing spends too much time, other things are affected, how to do?
Two ways.
One is to set an end time for the task. If you can't finish it by the time point, do something else first and then come back to it. Think about our previous exams, first easy and then difficult, when you come back to do the difficult task, sometimes there are new gains, is not it?
Second, discuss the matter with others. Don't die alone, with the power of the team, listen to the opinions of others, to avoid drilling their own bull's-eye.
(ii) Record the notes of the time log
1. Do not be too fragmented
First, record the breakdown of the important time phases, such as during the daytime work. Like get up, brush your teeth, wash your face, eat and other processes, unless you want to target to improve the efficiency of the "early stage", otherwise the time log with "get up, wash and go out" can be replaced.
2. Don't be too rough
With the first corresponds to the important stage of the details to be detailed. For example, is doing PPT, came to an urgent matter to deal with, of course, to record.
In short, when the action switch, clearly record the time, duration and things.
3. Do not record by time period
Time log to focus on action switching. For example, 8:00-9:00, 9:00-10:00 pattern, if the meeting lasts from 8:00 to 9:30, will this be too tiring and cumbersome?
4. Forget how to do
If you can't remember, write down the time black hole, don't leave it empty.
According to experience, the following four types of phenomena, you can focus on learning the corresponding methods.
1. do a lot of things outside the scope of responsibility
Problem: lack of authorization
Response: monkey law
2. today's priorities, not yet done at the end of the day
Problem: do not do the important things first
Response: three frogs
3. a day to deal with the phone, mail or go out > 5
Problem: going out frequently
Response: batch processing with a situational list
4. Doing a lot of things for others
Problem: too embarrassed to say no
Response: three steps to a graceful refusal
