So schaffst Du mehr als andere (Ivy-Lee-Methode)

Yes, at the beginning of the last century he was one of the richest people in the world, but not because he had inherited a lot of money but because as a simple employee he ascended the professional ladder step by step. We are in our thirties. and he became president of Batman Stil, which was then the world's second largest steel producer. But who would be satisfied with second place? Although he wanted to motivate his employees to perform even better, he did not want to work longer hours, but rather. Through increased productivity, he could do twice as much in half the time.

White, unattainable without outside help. Meeting with management consultant Abily and the coat. I need 15 minutes with each one. When they asked his managers how much it would cost, Lee didn't say anything. We will talk again in three months and you can tell me that amount. Give the money as you see fit. Remarkable So how do you bet Schwab would do it? He willingly gave him more money than he could have asked for his service, but what heating technology products could he pass on to the executives in 15 minutes so they could spend money in gratitude? What would be more than enough is that the so-called method shines in this video.

For better understanding, we need a little background knowledge of what exactly makes you productive. In fact, there are only two things: Instead of just getting to work, we get distracted worrying about comparing prices. Amazon, checking the refrigerator to see if anything new has been added since we last checked ten minutes ago, or looking at the 1,300 Facebook photos of a classmate who Mini was actually friends with. Well, what do you think is the main reason? Most people would probably point to this procrastination as a lack of motivation, discipline, or willpower, but interestingly, the cause usually lies elsewhere.

If a task seems too long or too big, for example, preparing a presentation or writing a thesis, then that leads. to insecurity - I just don't know exactly how I should start and I'm not sure if maybe I will act stupidly and try to avoid this uncertainty when we often add things that are familiar to us, for example YouTube videos, which distract from difficult and responsible duties , but just because we bury our heads in the sand, the tasks do not disappear, on the contrary, they get worse and a negative spiral begins. Getting started is more important than a perfect result.

If you want to work more productively than others, you have to control Mr. Procrastination, that is, all these insecurities. Reducing like this already happens to us from the beginning, until the second point that prevents us from doing more with the same amount of time. time and working efficiently once we finally start working, perhaps because suddenly the deadline has gotten dangerously close, we can still do it Not as much as we could actually do, even if we are currently making the most of ourselves, in addition to doing phone calls, checking emails, sorting the to-do list and also working on a text.

Multitasking works in principle, obviously we can do different things at the same time, such as arranging things well and cooking, but we cannot concentrate on two things. At the same time, multiple focus is impossible when two tasks require concentration, your brain always has to jump between the two and that takes its toll. Did you know that we check our emails on average every five minutes and then every time? I need just over a minute to fully concentrate on the task again. Per work day we spend an average of 1.5 hours just constantly checking messages and of course there are all the other interruptions, maybe someone just said something to me.

Therefore, it is impossible. You can achieve excellent performance on a task if you constantly divide your attention between ten different things. In order to work more efficiently, you can only focus on one thing at a time, that is, on what is really important to us that we often fall short of. The trap of believing that all of our tasks and all of our responsibilities are essential and as a result we get bogged down in the little things in the morning, read a quick word about what to do with a colleague and quickly think about it. It may seem productive, but it isn't at the end of the day.

So the really important things are neglected once again. If you have so many ideas or are overwhelmed by the enormous avalanche of tasks, the central ideas of the following two books will help you. : first by Brian Tracy, do the most unpleasant and important task of the day first, very useful because the longer the day lasts, the lower your concentration, the number of distractions increases two determined by Greg Cohen Allow yourself not to always say yes to everything Only when you try not to always do everything can you make your best contribution. Do the things that are really important less but better.

Here the motto briefly adjusts to me what an ideal productivity technique should accomplish. You should reduce procrastination by specifying exactly which tasks are feasible. must be completed. It should avoid inefficiencies by avoiding multiple approaches and instead prioritize the really essential tasks and, in particular, it should be simple enough to work on in practice, not only in the early days when we are still very motivated, but throughout long term, when we put all these points together, we get more or less the exact method that exists from five steps: first brainstorm, write down at the end of a work day six essential things that you will definitely do tomorrow, make sure to divide the projects big into doable milestones that you can easily complete that day second organize this task in order of importance first place is, of course, the question If all the tasks that you absolutely have to complete are in sixth place, the least important task for which you no longer need so much concentration is on this list, the next day it was exactly what your specific feasible tasks are and in what order they should be completed, thus avoiding uncertainty and therefore implementing procrastination.

Third, when you start the next work day, start right away with your first task, don't check emails quickly, don't quickly search for a birthday on Facebook, start right away and complete the task completely before doing the next one. This avoids more multiple approaches and equipment at the same time. By the way, it is very helpful to silence all notifications so that they do not lose your concentration every five minutes. Fourth, if you couldn't complete all six tasks on a list, no problem. Write at the end of the day Simply put the to-do list on your list for the next day and fill it in as you wish.

Once you've written down a maximum of six tasks, repeat the entire process every business day. Great in theory, but what does it look like in practice? Method because Charles Schwab brought after three months the next meeting with Willi on the day when black how much they had to pay we thought was appropriate for the result but with such a simple method we were able to achieve a result after such a short time. In fact, he was so happy with the results that he never wrote a check for $25,000, an impressive sum considering he was only busy for a few hours and becomes even more impressive.

If we convert it to the current value of around $400,000, which many people don't earn after ten years of full-time work, then we can roughly estimate how well the method works. Even the tech left said it was the best advice. that you ever received. By the way, I have been a Willi fan for a long time. The method we like to use is very simple to implement, takes time and guarantees much more productivity, but if you prefer to plaster a little now. , this productivity playlist is ideal. Have fun and until next time.
