What you really lack is actually never time

Work efficiency and focus reciprocally.

The real problem for many people is not that they don't work hard, but that they work too hard.

They always think that as long as they sit there all day and bury their heads in the sand, the results will be good. The actual result is that they keep working hard, instead of being efficient, while people are getting tired.

It is important to know that to achieve good results, we should be concerned about the efficiency of work, rather than work time.

Trying desperately to work longer and being able to complete the work efficiently are two completely different things.

If you want to get your work done efficiently, you need to understand that workload = productivity ╳ .

Productivity is equal to focus.

In other words, what we need is to improve concentration or productivity.

At the same time, with high concentration, the overall workload can be increased to 2~3 times the original.

If you just keep working longer, but can't maintain efficiency or focus, then the overall workload is still difficult to improve.

Many time management books are only a simple replacement for time.

For example, it is recommended that you reduce the number of times you check your email every day, saving time for other tasks.

For example, on your commute, take the time to look at your phone and read a book instead.

The whole idea is to convert meaningless time into meaningful time.

In this way, when we extend the time used to do meaningful work, we can naturally accomplish more meaningful things.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this simple substitution of time.

But this simple substitution is only effective in converting meaningless time into meaningful time.

But it ignores the importance of productivity.

For work that requires a high level of concentration, it is not enough to provide a lot of time. If we can add high productivity or focus on the top of enough time, we can accomplish a higher amount of work in the same amount of time.

Instead of just ignoring the focus, only constantly extending the time to maintain the workload.

You know, if our work efficiency is very high, or if our focus is very high, the increased productivity can save time while completing the same amount of work.

Not only can we do the work fast and well, but the time saved can also go to do other things we want to do.

Never forget that time is a very, very valuable and non-renewable resource.

We have seen this example countless times when we were in school.

For those students who are average learners, they are not trying hard.

Quite the contrary, many of them tend to work very hard.

Every day, except for eating and sleeping, all other time is spent on studying.

Some people will even infinitely squeeze their sleep and rest time, trying to use all the time that can be used to study.

But even so, their academic performance is often not ideal.

And on the contrary, those who study will find that they do not spend all their time studying.

We tend to see the effect is that they study at the time of the study, the time to rest rest, and the time to go to exercise is never delayed.

They tend to be able to study, rest, recreation, exercise, and complement each other.

They also have only 24 hours a day, and how do they manage to accomplish so many things while still maintaining excellent learning results?

It can be politely said that it is because they take care of all aspects of their studies that they are very effective.

Because of the way they do this, they tend to do a good job of pacing their studies.

They will rest before they get tired.

They tend to take a break after studying for a while, then study for a while, then take a break again.

They tend to include rest at the right time to allow their products to recover.

They never push themselves to go to extremely hard work and diligence and will not try to grit their teeth even after they feel fatigued.

Because they understand that when the efficiency of work is reduced and continues to persist, in addition to wasting time and increasing their fatigue, is very difficult to obtain good learning results.

So they grasp the rhythm of learning by learning to rest and cross each other's way.

They always maintain high efficiency, and naturally, they can still achieve good learning results in a shorter study time.

So we should pay attention in the future, whether in life or study, do not be so desperate efforts.

Instead, we should take breaks autonomously and scientifically.

Burying our heads in the sand does not do any good except for reducing work efficiency and causing our fatigue.

What we should do is to try to improve our work efficiency, that is, focus so that we can achieve the best results in a shorter period.
