要更好地利用你的時間,追蹤它

很難知道你是否在有效地利用時嗎即使你總是努力工作,而且壓力很大,你確定你把時間花在正確的事情上嗎?
為了找出答案,試著進行時間跟踪練習。在30天內,用試算表記錄你如何花費你的時間,以每一小時的時間來記錄它。這聽起來很費勁,但是這個練習會產生一些令人驚訝的見解。
例如,也許你的目標之一是多讀書,以便探索新的想法,但是你在努力尋找時間。這項練習可能會揭示你可以把鍛煉、烹飪或通勤結合到一起去聽有聲讀物或播客。
時間跟踪也會告訴你,你特別有可能浪費一天中的特定時間(比如,晚上花在社交媒體上瀏覽),某些工作會帶來不成比例的心理負擔(比如管理你的電子郵件)。
只有追蹤你的時間,你才能真正確定你是否運用得很好。

To Use Your Time Better, Track It
It’s hard to know whether you’re using your time efficiently. Even if you’re always working hard — and stressed out — are you sure you’re spending your time on the right things?
To find out, try a time-tracking exercise. For 30 days, use a spreadsheet to log how you spend your time, measuring it in per hour increments. It might sound arduous, but this exercise can yield some surprising insights.
For example, maybe one of your goals is to read more, in order to explore new ideas, but you’re struggling to find the time. The exercise might reveal that you could combine exercising, cooking, or commuting to work with listening to audiobooks or podcasts.
Time tracking might also show you that you’re especially likely to waste certain hours of the day (say, evenings spent scrolling through social media) and that certain tasks carry disproportionate psychological weight (such as managing your email).
Only by tracking your time can you truly figure out whether you’re spending it well.

幫助你的老闆意識到團隊裏發生了什麼

老闆們有很多事情要處理,所以他們不容易錯過與員工的日常事務。如果你的團隊有問題,你的老闆似乎不明白發生了什麼,試著幫助他們了解。
不要過於直言不諱或責備,提供一個可以社群了解的環境,讓老闆自己可以追蹤實際情况。
例如,你可以提供這樣的觀察:“你注意到小莉這個星期有點沮喪嗎?”“或者”你注意到最近每個人看起來都很緊張嗎?你也可以說一些一般性的話,比如:“你介意我和你分享一些關於小馬的意見嗎?”“
你的建議要機智;你的目標應該是開導你的老闆,而不是懲罰或使同事難堪。通過向老闆展示他們可能錯過的問題,你可以成為他們更好的理解團隊的一個鏡頭——讓每個人受益。

Help Your Boss Be Aware of What’s Happening on the Team
Bosses have a lot to deal with, so it’s not hard for them to miss day-to-day issues with their employees. If your team has a problem, and your boss doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on, try to help them catch up.
Without being overly blunt or critical, provide a social reading of the situation that your boss is missing.
For example, you could offer observations such as: “Did you notice that Li;ly is a bit down this week?” or “Have you noticed that everyone seems stressed out lately?” You could also say something general, such as: “Would you mind if I shared some observations about Marco with you?”
Make your suggestions with tact; your goal should be to enlighten your boss, not to chastise or embarrass a colleague. By showing your manager issues they otherwise would’ve missed, you can be a lens through which they better understand the team — benefiting everyone.

完美主義者,想想不完美的成功

做一個完美主義者並不容易,尤其是如果你對一切事情的願望都是正確的,那你就會延后決策,擔心沉沒成本,或者沉思失敗和弱點。
為了幫助自己放鬆,試著集中精力,從成功中學習。捫心自問:我做的每件事都完美無瑕?(可能不是)我一直都有把握提前取得成功嗎?(不可能)
記住,當你成功的時候,儘管不完美,但它會給你信心,根據過去的工作來調整你的過程和决定。
這可能是特別有用的,如果你傾向於仔細研究和規劃你的工作方法,然後才開始。你也可以找到一個成功的榜樣來保持他們的完美主義。
這個人怎麼能在不完美中而仍然成功呢?觀察他們的所作所為,並從中吸取教訓。

Perfectionists, Think About When You’ve Succeeded Imperfectly
Being a perfectionist isn’t easy, especially if your desire for everything to be just right causes you to put off decisions, worry over sunk costs, or ruminate over failures and weaknesses.
To help yourself ease up, try focusing on and learning from your successes. Ask yourself: Have I always done everything flawlessly? (Probably not.) Have I always been certain of success in advance? (Unlikely.)
Remembering times when you succeeded despite being imperfect will give you the confidence to tweak your processes and decisions based on what has worked in the past.
This can be especially useful if you tend to carefully research and plan your approach to work before starting it. You can also identify a successful role model who keeps their perfectionism in check.
How is that person able to be effective without succumbing to perfectionism? Observe what they do and learn from it.

Establishment and Development of Personal Brand
Personal branding is the process of developing a "logo" around your name or career. You use this tag to express and communicate your skills, personality and values.
We can all become a brand and develop our ability to stand out and be unique. This uniqueness attracts people to our products, our services, and even our information. Your personal brand should be about who you are and what you can offer.
Why is a personal brand suitable for everyone?
Personal brand should be important to everyone. Personal brand is not only an entrepreneur who owns his own business, but also a recipe for you to stand out.
If you don't develop your own personal brand, others will imagine you in a random way with their knowledge, out of your own mind. Developing your personal brand is an active way to control your career development and how you are perceived in the market.
A strong personal brand can affect your ability to get the right job, promote and improve your ability to attract talent and capital.
So let's look at these tips that can help you create your own brand:
Build platform
If you want to own a personal brand, you need a website to create your virtual platform. Your website should be your name. You also need a social media account that represents your brand. You will use these platforms to share your voice.
Recognize your uniqueness and strengths
Think about the characteristics and advantages you have in your career. Have you entered a situation where everyone says so? If you don't know, ask people what they think of you.
Strengthen your strengths
Once you discover your uniqueness and strengths, perfect them.
Learn everything you can and become an expert in that field. You can never stop learning. Read, absorb and teach.
Share your knowledge
Learning is not enough. You have to teach it and share your knowledge by helping others. This is done through video, social media and online and offline writing. This is how you prove that you know what you have and benefit from it.
Be yourself
Find your own style. You don't have to do what other people are doing, just follow the crowd. Use your style and uniqueness to attract the jobs and customers you want. Find your own style, create a new set of footprints for others, and let others follow your footsteps.
Determine your values and priorities
Have a clear understanding of your personal and career goals, both short-term and long-term. This will help you not only identify the most important things, but also invest your time. Use your values and priorities as a compass to guide you in your actions and decision-making process.
This will ensure that you stay on track.
Modify Your Personal Brand Role
This will help create your brand. Your role can be created by:
  • Identify your emotional needs. What are your personality traits? You can say you have a crazy sense of humor, or you are good at organizing things. Take some time. Why do you think people are attractive to your brand?
  • Describe yourself. Talk about your brand. Who are you? Why do people like to work with you?
  • Determine your major. What do you do and what do people want you to do for them?
Use these exercises to create a strong personal brand role that you can always mention when you create content that supports your brand.
Underline
Building a personal brand takes time and effort, but it's worth it.
The demand for personal brands must continue to grow. It's something that nobody can take away from you. It can run through your entire career. It's a leadership requirement to let people know who you are and what you stand for.
