Do you often think this way

I want to spend more time with my family

I also want to take a break from time to time...  

There are 24 hours in a day, which is fair to anyone. But in reality, there is a huge gap between people - the gap in ability, the gap in income, the gap in work performance ...

A Japanese book author, Mr. Kaurazawa, was once asked:

do you sleep at night?

Mr. Huazawa, do you know how to clone yourself?

"Before answering these questions,

The Japanese book author pulls out his regular schedule first: ·

Every morning is my writing time

Every year I publish 3 books. ·

Daily updates to web magazines, YouTube, Facebook, blogs

· Go to the hospital 6 times a month for patient diagnosis and treatment,

The author then replied: "Actually, I can guarantee more than 7 hours of sleep every day. In a day, I can complete the work that can only be done by 4 people, and have more than twice the free time of the average person. This kind of "god" "Time Management"

The author of <<Why Elites Are Time-Controlled>> is a Japanese doctor. After 7 hours of sleep, 1 person can complete 4 people to complete the work. He also updates his blog every day, and publishes 3 books every year, summarizing high-efficiency work methods , from the four principles of focus timeliness, restart focus, effective use of time, and creation time to illustrate that to improve work efficiency, it must be optimized from the essence of work efficiency, focus and time.

[Concentration timeliness]

1. 15-45-90 Rule

A person's state of high concentration generally only lasts 15 minutes, not more than 20 minutes. That is to say, 15 minutes can be regarded as a unit time of concentration. Some Japanese TV dramas have an episode of 1 hour, but excluding the advertisements in the middle, the real content is generally only 45 minutes. There will be an advert every 15 minutes during playback. During commercial breaks, viewers can take a break, drink water, go to the bathroom, etc. With a break in between, the viewer's attention can be restored so that they can concentrate on watching TV for the next 15 minutes

A short break after 15 minutes, a big break after 45 minutes, a big break within 90 minutes, and a big break after 90 minutes

2 Foreign objects, thinking, man-made, and communication are the four major methods of eliminating impurities

The biggest enemy of concentration is "cluttered thoughts". Organizing foreign objects makes people feel calm and thinking needs to be written down in advance to prevent the brain from worrying. People need to change the environment to create a concentration place, and turn off the mobile phone to prevent the concentration from being interrupted.

[restart focus]

1. 60-70 minutes of aerobic exercise at least once a week

The brain secretes a substance called BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor), which plays a vital role in the growth, development and normal operation of cranial nerves. In addition, the brain secretes a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which can increase people's interest and make people feel happy. As a result, after moderate exercise, not only can people's concentration be improved, but also various brain functions such as memory, thinking ability, and work execution ability will be improved.

2. 7~9 hours of sleep

The study looked at the relationship between people's sleep duration and brain function. The researchers compared the brain function of people who slept 8 hours a day, 6 hours and 4 hours a day, respectively, using 8 hours of sleep a day as a benchmark. It was found that people who slept only 6 or 4 hours a day for 14 consecutive days experienced a decline in brain function day by day. Even with 6 hours of sleep a day, a person's cognitive performance declines. Research shows that 7-9 hours of high-quality sleep can maintain a clear mind during the day

3. Lunch break method

Research shows that taking a 26-minute nap can increase afternoon work efficiency by 34% and focus by 54%. The best nap time is 20 to 30 minutes. In addition, sunbathing, rhythmic exercise and chewing can stimulate serotonin and increase vitality.

4. Close your eyes and rest

To close your eyes, low-frequency alpha waves begin to appear in your brain waves. Alpha waves relax people, block the input of visual information, and put the brain into rest mode.

[effective use of time]

1. Focused work" can only be done before noon

The time of day when people are most attentive is from 6 am to 7 am. After 9:00 a.m., people's concentration begins to slowly decline, reaching the lowest point at 2:00 p.m. From 4:00 to 5:00 before get off work, people's concentration will pick up again.

2. Non-focused work" can be done at any time

For example, checking emails, you can do it in the morning, you can do it during your lunch break, you can do it while you eat, or you can do it even on the subway to and from get off work.

3 : Communicate with people before going to bed and do relaxation things for the five senses except vision

When people communicate with each other, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone called "oxytocin". Oxytocin is known as the "love substance". When the brain secretes oxytocin in the posterior lobe, people will feel the "feeling of love and being loved". Oxytocin helps us repair the cells of our body and internal organs and is a substance with real healing properties.

Conversely, 2 hours before bed is a good time to relax. For example, listening to music, smelling aroma lamps, non-visual entertainment, chatting with family members, petting pets, light exercises to relax the body, warm bathing, reading, etc.

[creation time]

1. One-dimensional time management turns meaningless time into meaningful time

Don't "work in parallel" while walking while looking at your phone. People who look at their phones while walking on the road often bump into others. If the one thing they do at the same time is very simple and mechanical, it will not affect the other thing.

Parallel work skills such as reading while riding the subway. When taking the subway, you are either sitting or standing, and reading at the same time will not be affected. There are also reading books and thinking about problems while taking a bath. Because when taking a bath, people just lie quietly in the bathtub and can do another thing at the same time. Moreover, when taking a bath, people are in a state of extreme relaxation, they are not easily disturbed by distracting thoughts, and their concentration is very high. This is a good time not only for reading books, but also for thinking about creative ideas. Many of the world's great ideas are born in the bathroom.

2. Two-dimensional time management (workload = concentration X time)

Treat time as a face, not a point, like ASAP (as soon as possible)

Practice the "For You" work technique, and you will find that other people's behavior changes accordingly. If you always arrive early for your meeting with someone, the other person will definitely arrive earlier, so that there will be no situation where you wait for me and I wait for you, which saves a lot of time. Friends who have listened to my lectures know that I "start completely on time and never delay a minute or a second". Therefore, these audiences will definitely come to the venue to sit and wait for me before the lecture starts. As a result, whenever my lectures start, almost the entire audience is already there. Saving time waiting for others is equivalent to creating time.

book reading time

Before reading this book, I originally taught how to be efficient in the same way as the previous performance books. After reading this book, I found that the author views work efficiency from the essence. One thing starts from the fundamental problem, like a sturdy tree is The root of the bottom layer is well developed without being afraid of wind and rain, and it is not shaken. The diseased end can be seen from the bottom, and the treatment cost and effect are the best.

I don't know how your personal time management is. Share your approach and let's become high-performing people together!
