You work hard, why is there no result? The masters who can work are practicing this set of working principles

general view of work

Hard work, why no results? What is the end result of our work?

Leadership approval? A sense of accomplishment? Opportunity for a promotion and a raise?

Why is there no result? That's because you're still using general working logic, or the principle of working without results.

Follow the principle of work without results, you can get the job done, but if you can't get the job done, naturally there will be no good results.

What is the general working logic? People who work mediocre are not mediocre in intelligence, but mediocre in method. A mediocre working method is linear thinking logic, as shown in the following figure:

Linear work logic can make you a qualified employee, but it is far from being excellent. Qualified employees complete the work step by step from accepting the work to completing the work, and finally wait for the result.

But many times, what comes is the result of redoing and substitution, and frustration and annoyance arise spontaneously, until you doubt your own abilities, and even your life.

This is not the working state we want!

What is the working logic of the master?

So how do people who can work work? People who can work have a set of strict work guidelines. Over time, they will become masters of work. The work logic of masters is non-linear, but "circular work method", as shown below:

Circular working principle

Have you found that there is no waiting for the result in the "circular working method", because working according to this logic, the result does not need to wait, and it will naturally bring good results.

Unlike linear work logic, which is process-oriented, the "circular work principle" is result-oriented.

Everyone pay attention to the distinction, "process-oriented" is to focus on the process of completing the work, not the results of the work; "result-oriented" is to focus on the results of the work, all processes are to obtain good results.

This is the essential difference between the two work principles. Experts tend to focus on results and do not wait for results. The logic of circular work is to jump directly from submitting work to accepting work.

Next, we analyze the four key points of the "Circular Working Principle", namely analyzing and confirming work, time management, completing and self-assessing, and exceeding expectations.

01 Analysis and confirmation work

When we receive an instruction from the leader to complete a job, the first thing to do is to analyze several elements of the job:

Complete time

Completed form (word? PPT? model? drawing? etc.)

Reporting to (Direct Supervisor? Supervisor Leader? Boss? Board of Directors? Client? etc.)

Collaborative departments (design? art? administration? etc.)

Work content and theme ideas

Word count, length, and picture material (video? picture? etc.)

When it comes to purchasing (quantity? price? quality? brand? budget, etc.)

After analyzing these elements, reconfirm with the leader who issued the task, and add or delete elements according to the leader's requirements, so as to maximize the leader's demand for work.

It should be noted that when the leader issues a task, sometimes it is not clear about its own task elements. When accepting a job, you must first communicate with the leader about the elements of the work to prevent the leader from changing the content of the work in the middle, resulting in invalid work.

Small case: Xiao Wang, the general manager of my company, is highly reused by the leaders because every time he accepts a task from the leader, he will go to great lengths to repeatedly confirm the details of the work requirements with the leader, and the rework rate is extremely low.

02 Time Management

Effective time management is the trump card for masters to complete their work. How to manage time?

My suggestion is to partition the time period for completion of the job requirements, see the diagram below:

partition time management

The point of partition time management is to know what each partition is doing in the time period at a glance, and draw the time of the partition on a sticky note and stick it in a prominent position to help remind yourself of the progress of your work.

Take the completion of a job in four days as an example, as shown in the figure above, the work needs to be submitted on the fifth day. The four days can be divided into three stages of preparation, completion and inspection to complete and strictly enforced.

Key point: Be sure to submit your work results before the fifth day, don't wait until the fifth day of the deadline, exceeding leadership expectations is critical to getting good results. '

Small case: The above case shows that Xiao Wang is also well-versed in this method. Every time he submits the work the day before the specified time, it exceeds the expectations of the leaders. Submitting it again on the fifth day is also the work result that the leader is most satisfied with.

03 Complete and self-assessment

Results-oriented workers are also perfectionists, striving to complete the work to perfection. After completion, they need to scrutinize and revise the work elements confirmed before and with the leader.

At this stage, you need to point to "boss thinking" to examine your own work results, that is, assuming that you are the leader and see whether you are satisfied with the results of your work. This is a self-assessment process.

There are several points to note in the self-assessment:

Check for text logic problems such as typos and semantic ambiguity;

Check the list of elements to see if there are any omissions;

If it is a real object, check whether there is any discrepancy in shape and size;

Do the last typesetting, the overall manuscript looks beautiful and professional;

Remember to archive and copy to a USB stick.

Small case: Once, Xiao Wang spent three days making a business plan, but he forgot to save it, and the computer suddenly lost power, leading to redoing. This kind of low-level mistake should be paid attention to, otherwise a river of spring water will flow east.

04 Exceeded expectations

Why is "Exceeding Expectations" emphasized in the "Circular Working Principle"?

I remember Zhou Hongyi, president of 360, said: A good product must exceed the expectations of consumers in order to become a popular product.

In the same way, if you see a product in each of your work, it exceeds the expectations of the leader, and it is an explosive product in the eyes of the leader.

Exceeded expectations? For example, submit the results in advance, complete the high quality, can think of the details that the leader did not expect, beautiful and pleasing to the eye and so on.

Exceeding the expected work results, there will naturally be good results.

The above is an analysis of several key elements of the "circular work principle". In fact, the purpose of our work is to learn to enjoy the process of work, so that you will not feel that work is a chore, and when you do not feel tired from work, Work in a good state of mind, follow some good work methods, and get good results.

final summary

We must never separate ourselves from our work. When we are not working, we should integrate ourselves with life and enjoy life to the fullest. When we are working, we should integrate ourselves with work. method, the work is really not tiring, and it has the results you want, why not do it?
