Subverting cognition and completing a year's work in 12 weeks. Can the original time be used like this?

Most companies and individuals usually use one year as an execution cycle to formulate annual goals and annual plans.

The author believes thatAnnual thinking or too long a planning cycle can make us mistakenly think that there is still a lot of time and that we will lack a sense of urgency to do things.

will also make us hope that a miracle will happen in the second half of the year, and that there will be a breakthrough in delusional things.

So they redefine "a year" as 12 weeks to break the inherent thinking mode and avoid inefficiency in work.

Moreover, the author also provides people with guidance on specific methods of operation. Follow the methods in the book and you will find that you can complete more important tasks and ultimately achieve the overall goal.

2. The magic of the deadline

Have you ever had this experience? When the deadline is approaching, you start to go all out and make your determination to advance your work.

In fact, this phenomenon is especially obvious in the insurance and financial industries. December is always the best performance month.

Why is there such a magical power at the end of the year? Because this is the deadline for measuring our performance.

In this way, deadlines can cure procrastination, stimulate potential, and have exciting power.

So what can we do to make the deadline a little bit longer?

, of course, as mentioned earlier, use a 12-week plan instead of an annual plan.

• First of all, the 12-week plan allows us to focus on a few things and focus on the execution of work every day and week;
• Secondly, the time span of the 12-week plan is small.It is easy to predict and can continue to pay attention to important matters;
• Finally, the 12-week period is not too long, allowing us to see the deadline approaching and keep a sense of urgency at all times.

12 weeks is not too short, so we have enough time to complete the task, so replacing the annual plan with a 12-week plan can effectively improve our execution.

3. Improve execution

If we have procrastination, we only seek current comfort and cannot effectively manage time, we will not be able to achieve our ideal life.

There may be many factors for a person's achievement, such as knowledge, talent, information or ideas, and connections.

But this is not the most important thing.

Because many of us have wonderful ideas, but many people have not been able to turn these good ideas into reality.

It can be seen that effective execution is the key to victory.

So super-efficient time management is for the purpose of effectively improving execution.

In order to effectively improve our execution ability, the author believes that we need to turn our ideas into actions, focus on the most important things, and abandon those projects that are of little significance to us. We also need to build self-confidence, reduce pressure, and not be afraid of failure. , Enhance self-satisfaction.

To do all of this, we cannot act blindly, we must have a plan.

2. How to build a 12-week plan

1. Strong vision

I believe that most people have such a good plan for the first day:I want to get up early for a run, set up the alarm clock and prepare my running shoes. However, when the alarm goes off, I don't want to leave the warm and comfortable bed.

This is because almost all plans require us to leave our comfort zone.

If there is no reason for us to persevere, we will be greedy for the comfort of the moment and abandon the execution plan.

Therefore, if you want to let yourself give up the easy days and leave the comfort zone, you must give yourself a strong vision. This vision must be attractive enough for us to get out of the comfort zone without fear of setbacks. Dare to face the unknown.

For example, if we wake up early to study, what kind of vision can we achieve after we have done it? You can improve your self-cultivation to make yourself more attractive, or you can read and write to increase your income. When you have a vision that must be achieved, it will be easier to leave a comfortable bed.

2. Quantifiable goals

Only after we have built a vision, we can have a clear and specific goal, which guides our actions every day, and our actions must be based on the goal. of.

So the first point of the 12-week plan is the goal.

The author believes that the target must have the following characteristics:

1. To be specific, quantifiable and feasible.

2. Use positive language when describing the goal. For example, we can say that we have completed 80% instead of 20%.

3. When setting goals, we must consider feasibility, and we must not be too far from reality.

like your weight loss plan,If the goal is to lose more than 10 kilograms a week, it is completely unrealistic. It would be a joke to complete such a plan.

In addition, the target must have a clear assignment of responsibilities, not to scratch the eyebrows and beards, and finally it is a mess.

In addition, a deadline must be given to the target to be completed before a certain point in time.

For example, after reading 24 books, you must give yourself a deadline. Three months is 12 weeks, which is practical.

3. Make a plan

Once we have a vision and goal, we can start to make a plan to ensure that your daily behavior is consistent with the goal.

The plan should take into account three aspects: goal, time, and evaluation.

Take the reading plan as an example. You can set specific rules like this:

Read at least 50 pages a day

Write at least one reading note of no less than 2000 words a week

Participate in reading once a week Will share

In addition, it is best to set up a scorecard to evaluate the completion of the plan. This is to quantify our implementation this week and keep us nervous.

If you stipulate that you must read 50 pages every day, then at the end of the day, you have to evaluate today’s results, complete the task and count 5 points, read 10 less pages and count 4 points, and so on, until the end of the week At that time, you will be able to give an effective evaluation of your reading plan.

When the score is too low, it will make you feel stressed and motivate you to get a higher score.

3. Persevere in achieving greatness

When we start to execute the plan,They tend to be blindly optimistic and move forward courageously.

Once you encounter setbacks, you will realize the existence of numerous resistances and become pessimistic and frustrated, so that you feel that your future is slim and enter the bottom of despair.

What should we do when we encounter difficulties in implementing the plan? The author also gave us a very effective method.

1. Process control

We tend to focus too much on the result. In fact, the result is not controllable. What we can control is the behavior of every day, as long as our behavior is implemented according to the plan. The result will be as you wish.

Process control is mainly reflected in the incentive system to ensure that there is action every day and results every week. In addition, you can also join a team. The incentives and spurs between peers can continue to give us the power to act.

2. Focus on the great present

The author believes that the great present refers to a state where your mind is completely focused on your actions when you act, that is In the state of unity of knowledge and action, your daily behavior will be consistent with your own plan.

For example, the diving athlete Wu Minxia has won 5 Olympic gold medals, which makes him one of the greatest athletes in Olympic history. Then she became great the moment she got the gold medal. Yet?

is not.

• When she made a promise to herself to win the world championship;
• When she fulfilled her promise, she was doing hard diving training every day, jumping from the three-meter board again and again Time;
• When she insists on eating what she needs,When giving up the snacks she likes;

She is already using her actions to achieve greatness.

It is every day's actions that finally made her great.

So, when you promise to finish reading 24 books in 12 weeks, set aside one hour a day to concentrate on reading, and gain extensive knowledge through uninterrupted persistence every day.

Because it is every accumulation of the moment that makes the future great.

So when we build a good vision and formulate a plan, we must rely on every day to keep our promises and persist in the unity of knowing and doing, in order to finally achieve our great vision.

Today I learned the effective method of super-efficient time management, taking 12 weeks as a year, and completing the work in 12 weeks.

to summarize:

First of all, we realize that the purpose of time management is to improve execution, and the traditional annual planning thinking has great limitations, and it can’t make us work with a sense of urgency, so we abandon it The annual thinking was dropped and a 12-week plan was introduced.

Second, we learned how to build a 12-week plan: first establish a great vision for our plan, then set reasonable goals, and finally make specific plan details;

Finally, we discussed How to concretely implement the 12-week plan In order to implement the plan, we must pay attention to process control and pay attention to the two main points of the great moment.

Finally, I hope everyone can manage their time well and achieve a life that should have been successful!
