Many people in the workplace, whether they are new to the job or have been with them for many years, want to keep working and learning at the same time. That is, work can be done with high quality and quantity, leaving free time to do what you like to do, especially to invest in yourself, such as writing, English, and even improving your personal education to make yourself more valuable in the workplace.
I remember one of my classmates who worked for less than 3 years and was adjusted from an ordinary employee to a project manager, but when preparing to be promoted to a project director, the company required a graduate degree.
Later, with the continuous increase of work content, the student's study time was greatly compressed, and the matter of improving his academic qualifications was also put on hold. The current position is still standing still.
Compared to that classmate, have you ever encountered such a situation in your workplace?
I want to improve myself in my spare time, but I have no time;
After a whole day, I am exhausted, but I feel like I have done nothing;
A certain job was supposed to be completed in the morning, but it was unknowingly delayed until the end of get off work;
I always feel that time is not enough, and I am driven away by work all day long.
The main reason for the above-mentioned problems is that we will not be able to efficiently use the existing time and reasonably plan the future time. As you are in the workplace, how do you balance work and study, and achieve the best of both worlds?
Grasping these 5 principles will make you more fully control over your time, and you will be able to balance work and study.
- Early, get up 1 hour early =============================
> > Master Nan Huaijin once said, "Only those who can control the morning can control life." >
If you get up 1 hour early every day, 365 days a year, 365 hours, 8 hours a day is equivalent to an extra 45 days in a year, and 16 hours is an extra 22 days, and it is a very efficient time.
For 15 years, Michelle Gass, chairman of Starbucks, has been up and running at 4:30 a.m. every day; Gretchen Ruben, author of The Happiness Project and well-known author, gets up at 6 a.m. every day and works an hour before the whole family wakes up; Liu Chuanzhi goes to bed early and wakes up early model. Get up on time before 5 o'clock every day. After getting up, I will exercise for 1 hour before starting to work.
Get up early and strive for an hour or half an hour for yourself. During this time, people's thoughts are the clearest, the environment is the quietest, and they are almost in a state of no interference. They are used to improve themselves, such as exercise, reading , memorizing words, writing, and efficiency will be very high.
It can be said that being able to get up early means opening up the channel for self-improvement, which is also an important factor in being able to balance work and study and keep ahead of others.
In contrast, if you want to be stable both internally and externally, it is very unlikely that this will happen.
- Prioritize, make a sorted list =================================
When a lot of work pours into you. At this time, it is very necessary to draw up a work priority list before going to work and start the full-day work, which is particularly important.

First, choose priorities . Stephen Covey, a famous American writer, proposed in his book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" that the four-quadrant rule is a working method that can be used to manage time scientifically.
According to this law, all the things to be done are divided into four quadrants according to the degree of urgency and importance. The things that are both urgent and important are the things to be done first.
In the workplace, for a day's work, it belongs to the direct leader's account, and it is within the scope of his own business, and the time node to be completed is very tight. For example, interviewing customers, market research, speeches, implementation plans, etc., are urgent and important, and should be treated as a priority.

Second, deal with priorities. For urgent and important things, put them in the prime time of the brain, usually before 9 am, to carry out this kind of work that requires high concentration and concentration to ensure efficient progress. If the work that needs to be done first on the day, try not to deal with other work until it is completed.
For those tasks that do not require high-intensity concentration or even use too much brain, for example, organizing notes, collecting data, statistics, etc., can be placed after 10 o'clock in the morning, after the lunch break at noon, the concentration of the mind decreases, temporarily in a restrained state.
- Parallel, using compound interest ====================================
Wikipedia explains it this way:
> > Compound interest is an important concept in modern financial management, and the resulting wealth growth is called the "compound interest effect". Compounding is a method of calculating interest. According to this method, in addition to the interest calculated based on the principal, the newly obtained interest can also earn interest, so it is commonly known as "profit rolling profit", "donkey rolling" or "profit stacking profit". >

The simplest compound interest formula is as follows:
FV=PV(1 + i)^n
> > FV (Future Value) refers to the value of wealth in the future; >
> > PV (Present Value) refers to the existing value and also refers to the principal; >
> > i (interest) refers to the fixed interest rate or fixed rate of return during the cycle; >
> > n is the accumulated period. >
The compound interest effect is not only in financial management, but also in learning, work, and other things that can be accumulated. The compound interest effect is almost everywhere. In enhancing the benefits of work and study in the workplace, the compound interest effect can be reflected in two aspects:
The first aspect: in the same time period, accomplish two things . That is to say, others can accomplish one thing in 5 minutes, and you can accomplish two things in 5 minutes.
For example, when taking the shuttle, you can choose to use the audio app to listen to a book or plan a day's work, so that you can complete your commute and study. Similar time, as well as jogging, going to the toilet, queuing, etc., these opportunities can realize time compound interest.
(The source of the picture is from the Internet, and the infringement contact is deleted)
On the other hand, the same thing can be done to achieve multiple benefits . That is to say, doing one thing can top two or even more. For example, if you are learning English, then you can try watching an English movie or reading an English article. You will not only gain knowledge, but also exercise your translation ability, and you can also strengthen your word memory. With one stone, learning empowers work.
Time compounding in the workplace is to spend one time to complete two or even more things, which is called doing more with less.
- Now, do it for 5 minutes ===========================
In the workplace, anxiety due to unfinished work and loss due to unfinished learning are largely due to procrastination and thus a huge waste of time. So, say goodbye to procrastination, the most direct and effective way to aggregate time is to just do it. To be more specific, leave it alone and do it for 5 minutes.
> > American psychologist David Burns said: Actions drive action more than thoughts. It's not that I can't do it until I want to do it; it's that I start doing it first, and I'll get into the state I want to do. >
In this regard, in front of work, you can try to use the "do it for 5 minutes first" method to beat procrastination. For example, if you are going to write a material, you think that you need to choose topics, outline, and organize materials, which is too troublesome. Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
If you put this idea aside first, but start immediately, and continue for 5 minutes, even if you are collecting materials and writing a few of your own opinions, after 5 minutes, you will get a way to keep doing it. inertia. This is like chasing a drama, most people will involuntarily listen to and watch it.
Similarly, when you have spare time, the same is true for starting your own studies. Pick up a book, read it for 5 minutes, memorize it for 5 minutes, and then proceed, it is relatively easy.
In this regard, the opening of the 5-minute rule can be summed up in three points: 1. Act now, don’t think; 2. Start with the easy part first; 3. Don’t consider the details, let the action go ahead of the thinking.
- Interaction, work and rest integration =========================================
According to psychophysiological evidence, the human brain includes multiple active areas. When one area is active, another area rests. By changing the content of activities, different areas of the brain can be rested.
Therefore, when we take sleep as the only way to rest, we will waste a lot of time every day. On the contrary, when we adopt the method of "changing our brains", it seems that we go from work to rest, but in fact, we enter from one work state to another work state. Time utilization will be doubled.
Specifically, switching from mental work to physical work is the most effective way to “change the mind and rest.” For example, when writing copywriting is very tiring, you can change to tidy up desk items or bind documents.
If you cannot switch to manual work, you can also switch between mental work. For example, after writing a copy, you can collect pictures and make PPT around the text content. Each task is alternately performed, instead of completing one task and then proceeding to the next. One.
Time, for everyone, is 24 hours, but some people do multiple jobs in one day, and they are still very energetic, but some people only work on one job and feel very tired physically and mentally. The main reason is that they do not work. Good at changing the "brain", as the so-called "one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military."
