Efficiency in business - even everyday - often depends on our "I want" (or rather "I do not want"), which stumbles upon duties that no one has filmed with us. Mom should be prepared and fed, washed and cleaned. When mothers go to work, they discover that the same skills to keep up and fit into the schedule help to get into the working rhythm.
As a rule, many people forget about the interrelation of several parameters:
1) obligations - urgent and non-urgent, important and unimportant,
2) well-being during the day,
3) features of the body.
That's about all three parts of the "homing" to address issues and should talk more.
Duties.
Among all the responsibilities that lie on our shoulders, we can distinguish four varieties:
- urgent - timed to a specific time,
- non-urgent - that you need to do over a period of time or perform regularly,
- important - those that you do not delegate to anyone,
- and unimportant - they can be entrusted to someone else.
I feel well for periods.
Regarding the work even in a small team, where most often there is a confusion of roles (both the secretary and the sales manager, for example) first of all saves self-management: the schedule of working capacity during the day, week, month and even year.
What is the schedule of efficiency? And how to use it for the good?
The answer to this question fully reveals the second point of our plan to improve the quality of work and life. After all, during the working day there are peculiar ups and downs of activity. Usually they are tied to specific hours in a day. Regardless of the "covetousness" or "larkiness" of workers, the greatest mental activity is at 11 and 14 hours of the day. And after 17-00 it's time for physical activity. And even more so, you should not try to perform labor feats in the area of 20-00 or after 22-00.
In general, working capacity during the day depends not only on the time of day: the pores of the year also influence. Late spring, low summer, early autumn is a great time not only for rest, but also for work. The mind in these periods is sharper, and the communicative skills manifest themselves in full force. Therefore, the sales managers do not cost anything to "flatter" to themselves new customers - use this, even if your organization has not heard anything about self-management.
Next, you should think about the organization of food - this is almost the key part of self-management.
By eating certain foods, we can "spur" the brain, make it work extra-fast faster. And if there are difficult negotiations in your notebook for tomorrow, or if you plan to work off-hour, urgently need to complete a complex project - get on the way to work with products with a high content of amino acids (nuts, seeds) or buy glycine in the pharmacy.
Features of the body.
And the last moment is the peculiarities of the organism. Do not forget about this fact, how the dependence of certain qualities of a person on the content of certain substances in the body.
We are addicted in our work from serotonin (with a good mood, for which this substance responds, it works much better, and in general it is believed in the future), men - from dopamine (responsible for ingenuity, assertiveness and ability to focus on problem solving) female and male hormones.
In a period close to menstruation, it is better not to expect from yourself a severe assertiveness in negotiating or communicating with a difficult client. If possible, within a week from this time it is better to do more "female" things. In passing, in my head, as soon as estrogens give way to male hormones (which are also produced by the female body), there will be time for achievements, and for solving complex problems, and scrupulous planning for at least the next month.
And it is during this period that the entire working day will be effective, the decisions will be made to give a clear vision of the situation.
How is this applied?
Based on your abilities, goals and objectives, you can use self-management: the working schedule changes during the working day, moreover - it is individual. Despite the general patterns, it is best for at least two weeks to keep track of your working hours, health, tides, and analyze the situation by plotting.
Having received average daily results, you can better plan your day based on the "average" state of health. And do not forget that graphics are graphs, and first of all you need to listen to your well-being and condition. And then the body will thank you for attention to its needs and opportunities.
