Last weekend, friends got together. At the end of the year, everyone is busy at ordinary times. It is rare to take some time to get together. Naturally, the topic is inseparable from the word "busy". "After working hard for a whole year, I found that I had made no progress at all." Ah may said a little depressed. Among several friends, ah may has always been the most dedicated one. As a customer specialist in an advertising company, she not only often works overtime spontaneously and voluntarily, but also insists on participating in various professional training in her spare time. It is reasonable to say that if you work so hard, you should gain no less. How can you make no progress? A may told us that the reason why we felt so much was that at a meeting a few days ago, a new colleague easily PK dropped the product plan he spent three nights writing. Although she felt depressed at that time, after carefully reading the contents of her colleagues, she could only accept the reality with conviction. Because the plan not only contains accurate industry trend analysis, but also the corresponding enlightenment to customer management, which she had never thought about before. Not only that, according to a May's observation, new colleagues have only been in the company for two months and rarely work overtime, but they seem to enter the state very quickly. Unlike myself, I always feel that I can't finish my work and I'm too busy all day. "I work really hard and never dare to be lazy, but why can't I get the results I want?" Looking at a may with a tired face, I really believe in her efforts and dedication. However, from her narration, it is not difficult to find a very important problem, that is, her efforts did not find the proper direction and focus. She obviously spent a lot of time, but she did nothing. In other words, this unthinking effort is inefficient and of little value. two In the two years since I graduated from college and began to work, I also made the mistake of blindly "acting recklessly" like ah may. At that time, I worked in the purchasing department of a pharmaceutical enterprise. In order to adapt to work as soon as possible, I arrive at the office early every day and often work late at night. I still feel like a fly without a clear head for a while. Once, the Department Manager informed me that he asked me to prepare a Market Research Report of a certain region for use when meeting with customers next week. I was determined to make some achievements. Naturally, I didn't dare to neglect it. When I received the instruction, I began to prepare in a hurry. I buried myself in looking for information, designing layout and doing PPT, and finally completed the task as scheduled. But to my surprise, the manager closed the report in less than five minutes. Then he motioned me to sit down and told me such a story: A student felt that he was always studying hard and fruitless and ran to consult his professor. The professor smiled and asked him, "if you go to the mountain to cut trees and see two trees, one thick and one thin, which one would you cut?" "Of course it's rough." The students answered without thinking. The professor smiled and continued to ask, "if the thick one is just an ordinary poplar and the thin one is Korean pine, which one would you cut now?" Without thinking, the student said, "of course, cut Korean pine. Korean pine is more valuable." The professor asked again, "if the Korean pine grows crooked and the poplar is very straight, which one would you cut?" The student was a little confused: "should we cut down poplars?" Hearing this, the professor finally stopped and said, "why didn't you think of asking me why you cut trees? If you want to get firewood, naturally you have to cut poplar; if you want to make handicrafts, you have to cut Korean pine. Before doing something, you can get the ideal result only by clarifying the motivation and direction." This story has benefited me a lot so far. From that time on, I realized that to succeed in the workplace, clear goals are more important than blind efforts, and deep thinking is more important than low-level repetition. three In the workplace, many people unconsciously fall into such a misunderstanding: they think that hard work is to invest enough time, coupled with day-to-day persistence. However, the fact may be: the thousands of words you write freely do not have any ideas to solve the problem; You worked hard to complete the task, but you didn't get the real intention of the leader at all; You try to communicate with customers, but you can't win the trust of each other. This kind of "fooling around" will not only kill our precious time, but also make us feel anxious that "we have worked hard but achieved nothing". Therefore, the real valuable busyness is not more than who spends more time or does more things desperately. But to find a suitable goal and direction, relax and aim to do a good job. In fact, everyone's energy is limited. If you don't pay attention to methods, don't know how to arrange time reasonably, and just keep working hard, you can only get twice the result with half the effort in the end. To avoid inefficient efforts at work, we should stop working in a superficial way and spend time on the most valuable things. We should learn to identify problems, clarify needs, think hard and summarize more. Only in this way can we make substantive progress and growth. Many times, achievement is an important standard to test workplace efforts. If you can't see the results for a long time, don't complain and don't be discouraged. It may just remind you that it's time to reflect and adjust your efforts.
