Why do we not have enough time? It is because of this

Where did all the time go?

Nowadays, we are very busy every day and feel that there is not enough time every day.

Every day is occupied by a variety of things time, things are never done, and time is never enough.

But there seems to be a problem here.

If usually, we will always be tired of work, because work takes up a lot of time, and make us not enough time.

When we are on weekends or holidays, why is there still not enough time?

Usually, the holiday time is free, we can arrange it as we like.

This is the time when work can be excluded if you want.

In other words, the vacation time is all under our free control, we can do exactly what we want to do.

But why the holiday, we often still feel that time is not enough.

Ultimately, the lack of time may be due to a problem with the way we use our time.

Although the function of the brain and our energy are limited, if we can use our brain wisely, and can do the right thing at the right time, then we should be able to maximize our work efficiency, in the shortest time to complete most things.

So what is the law of the brain?

Scientists have found that after a full night's rest, we usually wake up in the morning is the best time for the brain state, that is, in the morning 6:00 ~ 7:00.

This time after 9:00 a.m., our ability to focus will begin to slowly decline.

It will reach its lowest value at 2:00 pm.

Near the end of the day, that is, 4:00 ~ 5:00 pm, our ability to focus will again be improved.

That's why it is said that the two hours after waking up in the morning is the golden time for the brain.

So if we can be in the best state of brain time, to engage in the most difficult work for us, then no doubt the whole day can be more efficient.

Some people have compared, although many people think that the Japanese are the most diligent, in terms of work efficiency, the Americans are more efficient than the Japanese.

Usually, Americans, generally believe that they should be fully engaged in work at 9:00 am.

So the prep work, such as drinking coffee, organizing information, etc., will finish before 9:00.

As soon as 9:00, they start to work in full force, and in the whole morning time are always kept alive.

And when it's time to leave work at 5:00 p.m., Americans will leave the workplace on time and no longer work overtime.

But the Japanese situation is completely different, most of them do not realize how valuable the morning time is.

Japanese people go to work at 9:00, so they arrive at work and start their preparation activities only at 9:00.

Chances are that once they get to work they will first have a cup of tea, read the newspaper, or turn on the computer to check their emails.

If the work is not finished by the end of the day, they will also postpone the end of the day to work overtime in the company.

But because they have worked hard all day, the efficiency of working overtime at night is not high at all.

Therefore, their work efficiency is not very high.

And for most of us who feel that we don't have enough time, we usually have such a habit.

When we arrive at work in the morning, the first thing we will do, many people first open the computer to reply to e-mail.

But checking emails and replying to them doesn't require much concentration in itself.

However, you choose to do this kind of work, which in itself is not particularly difficult, at the prime time of the day when your mind is the clearest and your concentration is the highest, which results in wasted energy.

On the contrary, if we can take advantage of the golden hour when our minds are at their best, we can efficiently complete the most difficult work of the day.

Because this time is the most productive, it is possible to say that the work is effective and efficient.

For some people, the effect of the morning is four times higher than the effect of the evening.

In other words, only 30 minutes in the morning to focus on work, can be comparable to two hours in the evening.

Therefore, if we can recognize the work of the brain, to understand the brain function, the state of each time, targeted at the right time to choose the most appropriate work.

Do the hardest things for us when we have the best attention span.

And when the attention span decreases and the body begins to feel fatigued, engage in some less difficult work.

After this optimal combination, there is no doubt that we can improve the efficiency of the whole day to the best.

And most likely, because you effectively use the brain's prime time, you may even finish all the work an hour or two earlier than usual.

Therefore. If you too are often feeling inefficient, stressed, and seem to be overworked every day, perhaps you should know more about the actual working characteristics of the brain.

Choose to do the right things at the right time to maximize your efficiency.

In Hiroyuki Kobayashi's "The 24-Hour Brain", the author uses brain science as the basis to show us how the brain works each time.

The 24-hour brain work plan is tailored to provide us with more than 80 efficient and practical brain habits.

It can help us to get out of this kind of dilemma, effectively relieve the inner pressure, efficiently complete the task, and have a full of energy again day.
