Time is a thing that, depending on how it is used, can be alive or dead. In a modern society that is gradually becoming a time slave, how to effectively create one's own personal time and get leisure from busyness is exactly what the executives of modern super companies excel at. First of all, I can see time as dead, and time is in motion. Excluding the daily necessary sleep, commuting time and other physiological time, a person's time is running out.But you still have to reflect on whether you are wasting time.It was like staring out the window in a daze, too lazy to do anything because of the cold, and when I recalled that time afterwards, I felt my mind was blank.In this case, there is no question that you are wasting your time.

Life is meaningless if you are aimless, but only when you control your time with a well-thought-out plan can life be valuable.Secondly, concentrating on a certain task can make you forget about temporary fatigue and maximize the use of time. People need activities, so in many cases, time is regarded as an important resource for completing work, enjoying leisure and enriching life. If you can reverse your concept and change your mind, even those who complain about not having enough time all day will find that there are always a few minutes of time coming to them.Although there is not much time to earn by sneaking in every day, the rewards will be great if you accumulate it over time.Thus, the shift in perception from "nothing" to "something" is a positive condition for creating time.However, there must be free time in the day, that is, some time for daze, because people are not machines after all, and even machines need to be refueled and adjusted.Proper conditioning is essential to relieve physical and mental stress for everyone.During this time, you can think of nothing, or you can meditate.There must be busy working time and relaxing leisure time, and the ratio of the two aspects must be reasonable and appropriate, and properly grasped.

Therefore, a new topic such as "self-control" is placed in front of modern enterprise personnel. Effectively restrain one's own desires, make the most of the limited time, and also create time and use it reasonably. Some people are full of mistrust towards the crowded crowd on the tram, and the indifference of human feelings is accompanied by a trace of resentment, and the hostility between the two sides makes their personal emotions deteriorate sharply.Others sat quietly in their seats, concentrating on reading certain books. It is also the time of crowded bus rides, but the attitudes and methods of the two kinds of people are completely different.The reason is not that some people's homes are close to the bus station, or that the route of the bus someone takes is very busy, but it is actually caused by the different lifestyles of the two parties.

During rush hour, the crowding in the carriages is indeed almost suffocating.But if you're smart, try to avoid it and catch the earlier bus. If you have difficulty doing this, you might as well change to a relatively deserted route.If it still doesn't work, try to stand inside the carriage and find a relatively loose place to avoid the crowding of getting on and off the train.As long as you put in the effort above, you can turn frustrating commute time into positive creative time. Get up an hour or two early every day, and your whole day's life will be completely new. As long as you have a seat, you can use it no matter how long the driving time is.On the contrary, if you stand among the crowd and stop until the end, your anger will make you get off the car early without knowing it, and when you arrive at the company, your anxiety will reach its peak.

After sitting down, read today's newspaper first to understand the news of the day. Instead of "reading", you should treat it with "watching" rather than "reading". "Reading" often requires mental effort, and the less external interference the better, so you can roughly browse the newspaper to determine where the clippings are; and then quickly read the headlines to absorb a lot of social trends.Furthermore, this period of time is also a time to force yourself to study. Since you are clear-headed and quick-thinking in the morning, it would be a pity to waste it. It is best to use it to draw up work schedules and read long world classics.It is generally not suitable to study professional books, because professional books need to be integrated and not simply perfunctory.

Set aside ten minutes for the bus ride and plan the work sequence of today, which can improve the work efficiency unexpectedly.When you arrive at the company, you can start working directly according to the plan, and finish it smoothly all the way, so that your mood will also be elated and extremely comfortable. In addition, lunch time is also an excellent opportunity, and you should make good use of it.Lunch is mostly a solo meal, so it's a good time to invite people to lunch with whom you would have invited in the evening, because it's easier to be open and honest during the day.In addition, since the price of lunch is much cheaper than that of dinner, there will be no embarrassing scenes caused by cash-strapped money, and ample time can also absorb a large amount of information.

When having lunch, there are generally two ways, one is that everyone goes to the cafeteria to eat together in groups, and the other is to eat instant noodles and continue to work.At first glance, the latter kind of hurrying to work seems to be affirmative, but in fact, it is only a commendable spirit at best.Because work efficiency is reduced. From the perspective of physical and mental adjustment, the latter behavior above is also completely inappropriate.You have to work hard, and you have to play steadily. Instead of taking care of both, it is better to put down your work and seek physical and mental adjustment to improve your work efficiency.

There is no problem communicating with people in your own department, but it is better to have lunch with people in other departments to communicate.This is a good opportunity to actively obtain the company's internal dynamics and convey our signals to other departments.Sometimes you can even get information that comes in handy immediately, and even the painstaking efforts that you have made in advance will plant good fruits, which will be fed back to yourself in the future. There is a saying in Japan that "on the saddle, on the pillow, and on the toilet". "Toilet" refers to the toilet, which is a place free from interference from others, a sacred space where some original inspiration can be obtained, and people's rights can be guaranteed.Therefore, the use of the toilet should be used in time as the best occasion for thinking about brilliant ideas.

According to records, the famous Japanese political commentator Tokutomi Su Feng and physicist Yu Chuanshu both have dictionaries, reference books, and notebooks in the toilet.Once you think of what you want to read, you can look it up immediately, and once you get inspired, you can scribble on the notes with interest.Because at that moment, the waste in the body is discharged, the metabolism speeds up, the frequency of brain activity increases, thinking activities are promoted, and inspiration and creativity rush out. "Pillow" means bed.As soon as a person lies on the bed, his thoughts fly wildly. Therefore, in the moments before bedtime and even in dreams, brilliant thoughts often appear in the mind.For these sudden flashes of inspiration, don't ponder over them at the time, but record them directly.So keep a notebook or a tape recorder that responds to sounds by your pillow.

"Saddle" means right away.Switching to modern life is what I mentioned earlier on the commuter bus.Employees of large companies spend one or two hours a day on car rides and even daily meals, which provide themselves with a place to reflect on their own learning.A person who can effectively use the time in the car and turn the car into a study will be able to read more books than those who live near the company, and he will also benefit a lot from the proper use of time. It is a good thing to have a study room, but you still need to pay full attention to the time of "on the saddle, on the pillow, and on the toilet", regardless of whether you have your own study room or not.

In addition, there is no prescribed time limit for sleep. As long as you sleep soundly and match your physical strength, you can completely eliminate fatigue.On the contrary, no matter how long you sleep, your fatigue is always on you.Try to follow the rules of life. The white-collar workers who are busy with work rarely have real time for themselves. They have to socialize and entertain after get off work. Sometimes they don’t even have their own space at night. In this situation, they can only hope in the morning.Although going to bed late and waking up early is really tormenting, if you have nothing to do after waking up, you should go to work as soon as possible. At this time, there are seats available on the tram to avoid being crowded with others.In this alone, the loss of energy can be prevented, and the mood will be much more cheerful. It is easy to get up early once in a while, but it is really not easy to persist for a long time, so you must have an extremely strong will.Once you get used to it, it's comfortable and effortless, and you might even feel dizzy after a little more sleep in bed. I feel refreshed in the morning and work more efficiently.Whether it is reading official documents or sorting out other materials, it is handy.The supervisor of the company should arrange a full-time work program at this time, so that the employees can issue instructions immediately after going to work and start various tasks quickly. And those who are subordinates can also stand at the desk and say good morning to the late general manager with a happy mood.Generally speaking, during the period before starting to work, people's brains respond quickly and operate very efficiently.According to scientific analysis, the human brain is in a state of "high speed" operation within two hours after waking up. As a result, some people use the morning time to go to the oral English school for classes.It is generally believed that it is difficult for busy company employees to spare time to go to school for further studies, but as long as you look carefully, there are many schools that start classes in the morning. Once you sign up for classes, you will try your best to get up for class even if you feel extremely tired.That person's English ability has also improved accordingly, and he is more comfortable with his work. Body temperature starts to rise after waking up, and since the increase in body temperature boosts the brain activity, it is ideal to act in conjunction with this situation.Here I hope you compare.
