If you have ever struggled with what you should do here’s a simple tip that can help.
We know we are supposed to first focus on our top priority. But sometimes determining which is the top priority, that’s the $1,000,000 question.
I know when I’m stuck between two or more top priorities, I get stressed and often it takes much longer to start. So here’s a trick I use to sometimes find out what I should be doing so I can get to work.
It’s pretty simple really.
1. Take the tasks that are on your immediate mind, write them all down. You don’t have to spend an hour doing this, spend five minutes if you’ve got it.
2. Rank each task for DIFFICULTY: You might say that taking out the garbage is a 2, while sitting and writing 3 pages of your book is a 9.
3. Then, simply pick the most difficult task on your list and get to work.
Odds are, the task you feel is most difficult is also your most important. We have a tendency to put off tasks that we feel are most difficult. But tough work is also what brings the highest value. We get more rewards for completing the tasks other We get a lot of benefits from doing the most important tasks on on our list. We might be paid higher, we might receive more love or more commitment or more energy.
Do you have any unique ways of divining your most important action of the day? If so, feel free to let us know about it in the comments below.
如果你曾經(jīng)掙扎過你到底該做什么的話,這里有些能幫到你的簡(jiǎn)單方法。
我們首先要了解我們應(yīng)該關(guān)注最重要的事情。但是有時(shí)決定什么是最重要的事情,這又是一個(gè)價(jià)值100萬美元的問題。
我知道當(dāng)我在2件或者2件以上最重要的事情中徘徊時(shí),我感到壓力,而且總是要花費(fèi)更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間才能開始工作。所以我有個(gè)小訣竅有時(shí)能決定我該做什么,之后我就能開始工作了。
事實(shí)上這個(gè)非常簡(jiǎn)單。
1.憑你的直覺把你要做的任務(wù)全都寫下來。你不用花費(fèi)一個(gè)小時(shí)來做這件事,如果能的話五分鐘就可以了。
2.按照難度系數(shù)將每個(gè)任務(wù)排名:你也許會(huì)說扔掉垃圾的難度是2,然而坐著在書上寫3頁東西是9.
3.然后,很簡(jiǎn)單的選擇你單子上的最難的任務(wù),接著開始工作。
大多數(shù)情況下,你認(rèn)為最難的任務(wù)也是最重要的任務(wù)。我們有種習(xí)慣就是想把我們覺得最難的任務(wù)推遲。但是棘手的工作也是能帶來最高價(jià)值的。我們將會(huì)由于完成 了任務(wù)而得到更多的酬勞,而且我們也能從完成單子上最重要的任務(wù)中獲得許多好處。也許我們會(huì)加薪,也許我們會(huì)更加被愛護(hù)或者更被信任,更有活力。
你有神獨(dú)特的方法來劃分一天中最重要的是什么事情嗎?如果是這樣的話,請(qǐng)盡量在下面的評(píng)論中讓我們了解。
