If you don't count time, time will count you

A reader told me that she was blacklisted on the company's layoff list, and if her performance didn't improve in the next 3 months, she might have to be terminated. I had a very deep impression of this reader because she would tell me about her confusion every once in a while.

　　At first she said she liked to read and asked me to help her make a book list, but after the book list was made, she never read it. She said she had too many things to do every day, and when she got the book in her hand, she would be interrupted before she could turn a few pages. Then she said she wanted to learn how to write, but she didn't know how to start. I told her to read more and write more, and that a good method won't work if you don't put pen to paper. But then she told me that it was hard to stick to it, too, for the same reason that she had too much to do every day.

　　When I asked her what she was working on every day, she was stumped and couldn't say why, only that she was busy like a war. I assisted her to calculate the time account, it turns out, most of her time is some gossip, brush drama bubble network consumed. Take a phone call often a half-hour chat, WeChat circle of friends a little open to brush up on all the dynamics, a colleague gossip she immediately interrupted the work at hand to participate in ......

　　The plan for her, it does not exist. Her schedule, there is no intention to improve business skills and their own quality of learning. In this way, time is wasted, not only want to do the same thing did not make, default work also accumulate more and more, and finally pushed themselves to the edge of being dismissed.

　　I have a self-publishing friend who has millions of readers, her life and work are arranged by her in an orderly, efficient and easy. This is not the case, at the end of last month there are still a few days, she will be 7 days of the National Day update content prepared in advance. I marveled at her efficiency and asked her how she could get so much done while working.

　　My friend sent me two tables, which dazzled me. The first table listed in detail the content to be pushed every day, which article to put audio, which article to put video, which article to put pure reading graphics ...... The second table is her tightly arranged daily routine, what time to wake up, what time to read in the morning, what time to have breakfast, what time to go to work, what time to do the selection and write articles after work ... ... all written clearly. ... are written clearly.

　　It turns out that while we are anxious about the scarcity of time and fighting a messy battle, some people have already cut the 24 hours of the day into precise blocks of points and given them different tasks, without interfering with each other and in an orderly manner, not only to complete the work efficiently, but also to fully develop their hobbies.

　　There is a saying, "If you win time, you win everything". An efficient life starts with counting time and winning time.
