Career Strategy: 25 Minutes To Improve Your Work Efficiency.

Do you often feel that you have been working late in the afternoon, or even doing nothing at all?

If you are just like many professionals interviewed by Harvard Business School recently in our daily research work, then this situation should happen to you on Business.

This inefficiency will not only reduce the project success rate of your team and organization, but also threaten yourself.

We find that nothing is more pleasant and vigorous than making meaningful progress on matters that we care about.

We call this the principle of progress.

But there is another side to this principle of progress: nothing is more frustrating than the stagnation of work.

It is much larger than the positive ones.

The most common reason for low is that time is divided into two parts: trying to balance conflicting and often unexpected time demands.

This is the case when you are crazy about your work every day but still feel inefficient.

Does that sound familiar?

Experts Tony Schwarz (Tony Schwartz), David Alan (David Allen) and others have some useful tips to help you build a working habit with twice the effort.

If you are too late to complete the most important work, how can you remedy it?

1, set aside the time gap.

(20 minutes) if possible, delimit the rest of the day from the schedule to ensure that you have 20 minutes to avoid interruption and concentrate on that meaningful job.

If you can do that, you can set aside more time and better, but 20 minutes is enough to make the work efficiency change.

If it is not enough, then advance the meeting of 20 minutes or 20 minutes.

(if you have an urgent business call, you will use this strategy, too) don't you? The most important thing to do is urgent matters.

Cut off e-mail, turn off the phone, and go to an empty meeting room or small room where no one can find you.

2, mark the progress of work on that day.

(2 minutes) use your work diary to record your progress on that day.

It's natural to concentrate on what you haven't done and the rest of your work.

But in order to improve your sense of happiness and effort, you should take a minute to record what you have done.

Even if you just outline the next steps of a creative project, you should record it.

If you can set aside 20 minutes for a gap, write down your achievements in the day, no matter how small.

This may not be the work you plan to do, or it may solve other people's problems, but if you do the useful work and actually make progress, record it.

Let yourself enjoy your sense of accomplishment and realize what you have done.

3, prepare for tomorrow's work.

(3 minutes) use Ernest Hemingway (ErnestHemingway) and other writers tips: stop halfway through.

When you have to stop the most important work and stop halfway, then stop, as long as you know how to finish the rest of the work.

In this way, you can get into work quickly in second days, even if you get only 20 minutes' gap in second days.
