Book Review 018 Read "Time Management"

I just learned that this book was mentioned in Zou Xiaoqiang’s time management video two years ago. He said: "This book was given to him by his superiors. His boss had given this book to several people, but only Zou Xiaoqiang did it."

Seeing this book again It is through the notes of a young man in the circle of friends who loves to read. This young man reads a book a day, and takes notes on a page in each book. He is organized and prioritized. He also adds a few personal insights and finally gives this book. The recommendation index is four or five stars. I haven't seen him mark the three-star ones. Maybe he personally thinks they are not worth reading?

Since I saw his reading notes, I quietly marked him as a star friend. The purpose of being a star friend is to only pay attention to these people's friend circles. There is nothing valuable in other people's friend circles and they are not worth looking at. Such valuable star friends include: national second-level psychology instructors, photographers (more often), image managers, fitness experts, excellent authors, family members, close friends, and customer groups at work.

This enterprising young man has also become the object of my attention and I want to learn from outstanding people. He recommended three books on time management, and I bought them all. This "Time Management" is the thinnest and the last to arrive. When I got it in my hands, I opened the express wrapping paper, washed my hands first, and then tore off the transparent film on the surface of the book. My thumbs turned from the cover to the last page at a very fast speed like a money printing machine counting money. Page.

Huh? Why so many stick figures? Did I buy a little book? Comics? What the hell...

It's almost time to get off work, maybe I can finish reading this "little book" in a few minutes. After flipping through more than twenty pages, huh? It's quite interesting. I'll take it home to watch on my day off tomorrow.

The book "Time Management" was written by the American author Jim Randall, a lawyer and entrepreneur who has been committed to financial management skills and personal growth. This time management book with pictures and words is easy to read and full of fun.

From describing his own personal time management experience to helping his daughter manage time to obtain credits, the content is very relevant, practical and practical.

But books like this are not useful to everyone. Time management is a person's subjective initiative. If a person wants to make full use of time, maybe he has already become a self-disciplined person. It doesn't matter whether he reads this book or not, because he has already done it. But if a person has never been aware of time management, then the effect of reading this book will not be obvious.

Therefore, the popularity of a book has a lot to do with the group it is targeted at.

I don’t understand why this book doesn’t even have a table of contents. Maybe it’s because it’s too thin? The author starts from what time management is, how you currently use your time, and how to make the most of the time you have. These two parts complete the book. (It’s really short enough)

We can learn from some of the content in the book: for example, grade your task list into ABC priorities, and complete them in order, without scratching your eyebrows.

In addition, "Crying children are fed by milk." The author's explanation in this book is: Sometimes those people or things that respond the fastest and make the loudest get more attention. When prioritizing, you can’t let tasks or projects that make “noise” distract you.

The prototype of the 80/20 rule was first discovered by an economist named Pareto in 1906. One day while tending his vegetable garden, Pareto realized that 80% of his edible vegetables came from only about 20% of the plants. As a result, he focused more on taking care of high-yielding plants, and the vegetable yield in his garden increased significantly.

In fact, he did not put in extra work. He just reduced the energy used to take care of those low-yielding plants and instead used this energy to take care of those high-yielding plants. This is why the 80/20 rule is so important. It doesn't require any more work on your part. It just makes you work smarter.

I insist on reading a good book and writing a simple article.
