After the regular meeting last night, I had to make an appointment for a voice phone call at 7:30. After I packed up, I hurried home, for fear that I would overtime.

It was already 7:30 when I got home, so I quickly changed my shoes and went into the house to make a phone call. After ten minutes, I walked out the door.

Dad was a little unhappy, he asked me what work I was doing, was it so busy? Don't even have time to say hello at home?

Grandma also complained about me and didn't answer her words.

When I heard this, I felt annoyed and wanted to vent to them. But are you so busy as my dad said? But it hit my sore spot.

After a short period of anger, I began to reflect on myself. I am only in my 20s, and I am neither a manager nor a junior leader in the workplace. How can I keep myself busy like this?

Am I really trying to do this?

So, I sort out what I do every day.

> > Including original articles, a total of 5 manuscripts were written >

> > Discuss cooperation matters with partners >

> > weekly class >

It seems that I don't have so many things every week, and the biggest worry is 5 manuscripts a day.

So why am I so busy with myself?

What is busyness?

What is the problem in thinking mode, effort direction, work style, time management?

After thinking for a while, I found that I seem to have problems with the above 4 points, but it seems that I have improved in these 4 points.

But why am I still standing still? If you want to understand why I am busy, we must first understand what "busy" is.

◆ busy

The word first appeared in the United States in the 1990s. It originated from the English word "working poor", which originally referred to those people who were not paid much and worked all day, but could not get rid of poverty.

And now it refers to using busy forms to fill a certain emptiness, or using busyness to cover up a lack of ability.

Still don't admit it? You are not "busy" but "bumpy".

Are you busy or "busy"

Yes, we in our 20s have no family, no kids, and not so many responsibilities.

We're not that busy at all, we're just confused.

We don't know what we really want in our hearts and what to do. So, simply do what to do.

Use busy and inefficient efforts to cover up your confusion and helplessness.

To put it simply, the reason why you are busy is because you have no clear purpose in your work, so you use inefficient busyness to cover up your confusion and want to get comfort from it.

Therefore, what we really need to change may not be the way of thinking, time management, but the need for execution and clear purpose in what we do.

Change the root of poverty

◆ Purpose

In my eyes, this term was a downright derogatory term. In my eyes, anyone who does things with purpose is an unscrupulous person.

What's even more ridiculous is that I actually believed in the nonsense that "the result is not important, the enjoyment of the process is important".

Such thoughts and cognitions lead me to lack a clear purpose in what I do at work. For example, I planned and executed a Ps course sale before, because I didn't have a clear specific goal to accomplish, which finally led to the extremely poor effect of the whole course.

This incident hit me hard, and it was precisely because it woke me up that I began to discover the importance of purpose in a matter.

The biggest benefit of doing things with a purpose is to let you give up busywork and work towards a precise goal.

Working hard from your own actual ability will allow you to avoid doing trivial and meaningless things.

◆ Execution

Baidu Encyclopedia's explanation of it is "Execution refers to the ability to effectively utilize resources, achieve goals with quality and quantity, and refers to the operational ability to implement strategic intentions and achieve predetermined goals."

Efficient use of resources - planning

Achieving the goal with quality and quantity - efficiency

Planning for a thing is to see which things you must spend time doing and which things can be done in a compressed time.

For example, when planning a course, the most time-consuming part is to contact the lecturer, determine the course content, and find promotion channels.

Since there is no preliminary planning, many people will write course promotion copywriting, and even build live broadcast rooms as important things.

The fact is that both the construction of the live broadcast room and the course copy serve the course content. From the perspective of execution, these are things that can be done in a compressed time.

My understanding of efficiency is to concentrate on getting one thing done quickly. For example, for this manuscript I am writing now, my ideal time to complete it is 2 hours, and I have swiped Weibo 5 times, wasting a lot of time.

As a result, the manuscript was completed an hour late, and I had to work overtime today to finish the tweet that I was going to send tomorrow.

This is an inefficient effort, where I seem to be working overtime but I'm wasting time.

Montaigne said: "If the soul does not have a definite goal, it will lose itself." To say goodbye to poverty, the first thing to do is to say goodbye to confusion.

For us who are used to being poor and busy, the most important thing we should do is not to make money, but to find a way to make our efforts not go to waste.
