As the saying goes, "Mazhuang's car is not as good as the right way". The allusion of this sentence comes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. A master prepared a lot of things, and wanted to go to Chu in the south, so he asked passers-by for directions. Passers-by replied, "This road is not for Chu." The master said, "My horse is very strong. It doesn't matter. " Passers-by once again stressed that this is not the direction to Chu, but the master still stubbornly said, "My car is very strong." Passers-by had to sigh: "This is not the direction to Chu!" If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try.

Think carefully about what is the focus of this work, what kind of results you hope to get, and whether you can really get the desired results after doing so. Discuss with your supervisor and colleagues in the upstream and downstream processes before deciding the overall direction and process.

Little motto: It is not enough to be busy. The question is: What on earth are we busy with? -henry david thoreau, American naturalist writer.

2. Make a calendar and project implementation plan.

Making a timetable in advance can help you sort out what you want to do. You can use the following tools:

Computer software, such as Outlook, has schedules, routes and calendars.

Calendar or business journal.

A simple form designed by yourself.

For the day's schedule, first of all, list what you must do, which is your first job today; Then make a list of things that should be done and things that can be done but are not urgent. Then evaluate the time required for each task, and then decide how to allocate time to these tasks. Remember, you should do the most important things at the best time of the day. After the completion of the one-day plan, it can be expanded into a one-week plan to decide the most important and necessary things to do in a week. Make sure that the trip is going as planned every day.

Motto: When you know when the plan will start, start to list the progress, but don't let the planned time replace the execution time. -George Stoll, vice president of Boston Consulting Group.

3, the use of systematic thinking, classified work.

Get into the habit of grasping the key points, step by step, concentrate, set a good order, and start with the most important things. We must first decide which work is more important and must give priority; Those are not very important and can be postponed. Another result of not considering priorities is that things that have been postponed or postponed are often out of date when they are put forward later.

Determine the priority of completing the work according to the importance of the work.

Decide the time to put into work according to the importance of the work.

Work with the same nature and kind and high similarity should be solved at one time.

Keep thinking about whether there is a more efficient way to work.

Avoid excessive means to achieve smaller goals and waste, such as killing chickens without knives.

Little Proverbs: Don't waste time doing "junk" jobs, do jobs that can improve your productivity. Roberta Roche, an expert in psychology and behavior

You need to think carefully in advance.

If you spend more time looking for the information or tools you need during your work, you will only get twice the result with half the effort and increase the chances of making mistakes. Everything is prepared in advance, which means it can be used at any time.

Prepare the "latest" information at any time: updating, adding or deleting "data" at any time can enable us to keep abreast of the latest information and sort it out at any time, so as to keep abreast of the latest situation and make correct thinking and judgment quickly.

Have the concept of "tool library": at any time, you should turn your knowledge, experience and skills into tools, so that you can take them out and use them at any time, or reassemble them, thus shortening time, improving efficiency and increasing more chances of success.

Find your own "mentor": find a group of mentors with different professional skills and positions inside and outside the company and provide all kinds of help with their experience, wisdom and connections.

Little Proverbs: When you do small things, you must think of "big things" so that all small things can develop in the right direction. -Trend expert alvin toffler.

5. Keep learning new knowledge and skills.

In a career with ten times the speed, the work changes quickly, and the work speed itself is also fast. In addition, the external environment and new industrial knowledge are accelerating. If we don't study hard, we may drag a heavy car or a seriously depreciated car on the expressway like an old cow, which is not only full of powerlessness, but also ruthlessly eliminated by the times. "Hard work" is a sufficient or basic condition for success, but it cannot guarantee success. Today, we must work smart, and only by continuous learning can we improve our work efficiency and innovation ability.

Continuous learning is very important for the improvement of working ability. Throughout the history, successful people at home and abroad, or observing the executives of excellent enterprises, asking questions on their own initiative, auditing courses, or even silently observing what others do, can learn new knowledge and technology, and then digest more effective ways to do things and solve problems.

Small Proverbs: The pursuit of success today is directly proportional to whether you have knowledge that can blossom and bear fruit. -tom peters, business management consultant and writer.

6. Creativity makes things simple.

If you are creative, you won't think hard about countermeasures for some problems. If there are no cases to follow, you will be as anxious as ants in your pants. Always evaluate the good results brought by creativity. In this process, you will realize that solving problems with creativity is a happy and interesting thing, and cultivating creativity is definitely one of the necessary skills for entrepreneurs.

There are several ways to cultivate creativity:

Open your mind, always pay attention to the surrounding environment, and be as good at observing every move around as a scientist, and you will find many new ways to solve old problems.

Look at all possible schemes, and don't give up easily because it's impossible, naive, unsuccessful or unheard of.

Make good use of the sixth sense, keep a keen sense, relax, give play to inspiration and break through the limitations of thinking.

Extract the essence of each solution to the problem, sort it out, and then reassemble it to see how the relationship between them is and whether new ideas can be derived.

Small Proverbs: Today's companies need a lot of good ideas to deal with all kinds of changes, but they often care about whether employees go to work on time. -Management expert Mark Epple

7. Appropriate electronic tool assistance

High-tech can save you time, but only if you choose the one that suits you and consider what you want it to do for you. Does it work for you? Before buying software, you need to do research to ensure that its functions meet your needs. To make electronic tools really help you improve your efficiency, please follow the following steps:

Ask a master who is familiar with both scientific and technological products and your work content to find out the advantages and disadvantages of the tool you are considering, and whether it can save time, improve productivity and increase your work advantage.

Make a purchase evaluation form and discuss it with the sales staff in the store.

Take some time to practice the basic skills of this tool. The time spent at this time will double the income in the future.

Commonly used electronic tools, including computers and various management software, backup systems, e-mail, Internet (including online services, global information networks, news bulletin boards, etc.). ), personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile phone, scanner, etc. In fact, there are some functions that can improve efficiency.

Little Proverbs: If you don't know technology, you can never make technology your helper. -Stephen Carter, CEO of Cingular Wireless Company.

8. Borrow other people's time

To make the work efficient, division of labor, cooperation and even asking experts for help are all ways. Authorization is the ultimate weapon to save time and the magic weapon to improve efficiency. It will bring great benefits to spend a little time communicating with your employees, especially to let them know the situation, otherwise they will not be able to share the workload.

The following basic principles will help you delegate more effectively:

(1). Decide what to authorize. There is a difference between authorizing and entrusting normal work tasks. Authorization means entrusting your job responsibilities to someone, but you have control and responsibility.

(2) Explain clearly the result you want. Generally speaking, the authorized person will complete the task in his own way. If you want to do it in a specific way, let the other party know from the beginning.

(3) Clear responsibilities. Make sure the other party understands their responsibilities. If he doesn't understand the task and goal, or doesn't meet your expectations, re-examine the whole thing carefully.

Small motto: High performers will focus on solving problems, not blaming them. -Charles Garfield, President of Performance Science.

9. Do a good job in emotional management

Every job has pressure, and our pressure lies in emotional management. Emotional management, like Dayu's flood control, is best to be able to channel it. If you vent your dissatisfaction on your work or colleagues, it will only hinder your work and pay a higher price.

Daniel Gorman proposed five steps to improve emotional intelligence:

(1). What kind of person do I want to be? Imagine what you want to be in a few years. Think about what your typical day looks like.

(2). Who am I? It is important to see clearly your weaknesses, but you should also know your strengths.

(3). How can I change? Make a plan to change towards the goal, step by step, and practice from self-awakening.

(4) How long will this change last? Change depends on practice, reminding yourself repeatedly and breaking the past thinking and behavior patterns.

(5). Who can I ask for help? To improve the ability of emotional management, someone must help us create an environment that supports our change.

Little Proverbs: It is great to succeed in something that others despise. Because, this must defeat others and defeat yourself. -podesta, author of Laughing at the Workplace.

10, moderate rest to relieve stress.

Many people have a wrong idea that doing more things and spending more time will cost more. However, when people are exhausted, they are prone to make mistakes. Maybe the next day they will wake up and start over. At this time, if you choose to take a day off, it may be more efficient. In addition, the plan may not go as expected. At this time, it is necessary to leave a blank on the timetable.
