Hello, I am Xiaoliu! I talk to you about reading every day. Today I will share with you some of my time management records after reading the time management book "A Strange Life: Ljubishev's 56-year "Time Statistics Method"" and experience.
I first read this book in 2017. After reading it, I was shocked by Ljubishev’s great achievements and time management methods, so I faithfully recorded every minute of every day according to Ljubishev’s method. Condition.
At the beginning, I also followed Lyubishev’s example of using a notebook to record, but I found that due to business trips and other reasons, the notebook was often not around, and the time records of some matters were often forgotten or confused. Later, I checked the information online and found that the "aTimeLogger" mobile APP developed based on Lyubishev's time management concept can help with statistical analysis and the operation method is very simple. My mobile phone is basically with me at all times, and it meets the time recording requirements. I have been using it from March 1, 2018 to now, without interruption.
In this way, I have gained a valuable piece of time statistics, which can help me analyze where my time is spent, and then make adjustments and correct some behavioral habits to make time use more efficient. Let’s take a look at my average usage time in various projects in the past four years and four months (arranged from high to low):
- sleep accounted for 31.6%;
- leisure and entertainment (including surfing the Internet, watching videos, playing games , parties, etc.) accounted for 15.6%;
- housework (including family affairs, taking care of children, private matters, etc.) accounted for 12.6%;
- work accounted for 11.1%;
- transportation (frequent business trips) accounted for 6%;
- dining accounted for 5.9 %;
- washing accounts for 4.9%;
- reading accounts for 4.7%;
- aimless time without clear goals accounts for 4.5%;
- exercise accounts for 1.6%;
- financial management accounts for 0.5%;
- writing accounts for 0.5%;
- Other English, speech, and musical instrument learning accounted for a total of 0.5%.
Judging from the statistical results, sleep accounts for the main part, spending almost one-third of the time every day. This is understandable. After all, good rest is the basis for doing other things well.
We all know that surfing the Internet on mobile phones, watching videos, etc. will waste time. I am strict with myself and still waste 7.6%, let alone not controlling it. It is scary to think about it.
usually says he is busy at work, but pure working time only accounts for 11.1%. If he works harder, he can achieve more.
Reading, writing, sports, skill practice, etc. account for 7.8% in total, about 1.87 hours a day. No wonder people say that the golden two hours after get off work are precious. It is indeed not easy.
The most unfortunate thing is that aimless time without clear goals accounts for 4.5%. If the sense of goal is stronger, the execution power and willpower are stronger, the available time is still considerable.
What I have to mention is that long-term time recording has given me a strong ability to perceive time. The estimated error in judging time is basically no more than 5 minutes. This ability also makes me cherish the value of time more.
