The concept of time differ. Who lives steadily, all the time, with no hurry and not saving up a huge list of pending tasks. Someone always seems that it slowly stretches: such people often find their classes even at night, toil always bored and generally dissatisfied with "the gray life". And there is a third type of people, who, perhaps, has become increasingly common today: those who are time starved.
Usually it is either uncollected personality, or those who too much wants to do and try. And sometimes both together. In the modern world they are even more difficult: affected by the frantic pace of life and lots of distractions, especially among residents of large cities. This issue has become for many a disaster: unfinished business is growing like a snowball, and the extra hour on each of them is not.
Is it possible to postpone them indefinitely? If you want a successful life and the achievement of objectives, it is impossible. A bundle of unfinished and not started is scary. Why? It's simple.
• Very often the most energy consuming start. To gather, to start, you typically need inspiration, surge of emotion, and people can already see the result you will get, to delight in him. Subsequently, the incompleteness leaves the impression that you don't get what you want, not managed, not solved the problem. In the larger scheme of things this creates a sense of failure, which creates internal stress.
• Unpleasant condition due to the fact that some task is still "hanging", the pressure from the inside. Even if you don't mean it, it is imprinted in the subconscious and reminds himself with a nasty sense of guilt or other negative emotions. They consume a monstrous amount of energy whether you realize it or not.
• And the main, obvious fact, which is stubbornly ignored: the constant state of postponing things to be done tomorrow as a result leads to the fact that goals become distant dreams, and then completely melt in our everyday life... to Reach even the smallest of heights does not work.
So, we need to change something! To radically change themselves, their way of life very few people under force. But you can just make a few small steps toward change by applying the methods of extension of time. Magic will not be here – just simple methods by which you can "get" a couple of extra hours in the day.
Method 1: eliminate distractions. According to research, even if the person to distract for a few seconds, it will take 5 to 15 minutes to re-focus on the case, which he did. This applies more to tasks that require mental labor rather than physical. For creative people such distraction can end the fact that they do not want to continue the inspiration evaporates.
The biggest "otvlekli" today, TV and social networks. Both objectively useless, but instantly tightens and captures the attention. For the first time, about a month or two, it is better to exclude absolutely to the habit weakened, and later to make a clear plan of what, when and for how long you will allow yourself to look there.
In addition, make a habit of:
— отключать звук на телефоне, когда заняты;
— проверять электронную почту и системы быстрых сообщений регулярно, но редко – например, раз в день.
Optional: make the circle narrower. For sure your present will be people who only distract you with idle chatter. Even if you these conversations are enjoyable and interesting, reduce their number and time.
Method 2: "who gets up early..." Strange, but in most cases people who get up early, really get more. For some reason the same two hours left in the evening, are not so effective. This is especially true of those houses are surrounded by a lot of people. In the evening, all active, and early in the morning everyone is sleeping. Before standing for 1-2 hours, you will be able to spend their raking of old cases or achieving a new goal.
One "but": this watch can't just be "plucked" from the time that you set aside for sleep. Will have to go to bed earlier. Or compensate for loss of daytime sleep.
Method 3: delegate tasks to others. About this talk a lot, but few applies. There is nothing wrong to ask another person to do for you something he likes and you didn't. Especially if you're paying this. The opportunity to earn money had never been disappointed. The idea can be used in both career and domestic Affairs.
Method 4: plan a day. Planning should include:
1. To-do list.
2. Their sequence.
3. The time allotted for each of them.
4. The probability of force majeure and subject to change.
You can start with no plan and with keeping track of what takes time. Try to allocate 3 weeks to record every half hour that it did. This will give the opportunity to analyse where you're losing precious minutes, what are distracted, and will inure to the discipline. Then you can move on to planning.
Method 5: cleaning "long box". The long box, in which for many years delayed the case, it's time to sort out. To start, make a list of everything you wanted to do, but not started or not completed. Then:
• Cross out everything that is no longer relevant.
• Cross out what is imposed on others. Reading the list, ask yourself the question: is it my desire, my purpose?
• The rest leave. Make it a rule to complete a certain number per month. Or a week, when it comes to small matters.
Armed with at least 2-3 of the method, you will soon notice a change. But it is better to use all – then the result will be even more interesting. Most importantly, do not forget that free time should be spent on useful tasks. Live in a new rhythm for at least a month, and you will be delighted with the positive changes!
