Quick tips for better time management
Are you a good time manager? If your answer is "no", here are some tips on how to be a better time manager:
⒈Create a daily plan. Plan your day before it starts. The plan gives you a good description of how the day will go on. That way, you will be ready to deal with most of the things you meet.
⒉Focus. Are you multi-tasking so much that you're just not getting anything done? Only focus on what you're doing. You'll be more efficient(效率高的) that way.
⒊Stay away from your time wasters. What takes your time away from your work? QQ? Email checking? One thing you can do is make it hard to check them — remove them from your browser(浏览器) quick links.
⒋ Don't take on more than you can deal with. For the distractions(分心的事物) that come in when you're doing other things, give a firm no. Or do it later.
⒌Decide to be early. When you prepare to be on time, you'll either be on time or late. However, if you decide to be early, you'll most likely to be on time. For appointments, try to be early. For your deadlines, meet them earlier than required.
A. Learn to say "No".
B. Cut off when you need to.
C. Stop checking them so often.
D. Most of the time you'll be late.
E. Great ways to know your time spent.
F. If so, focus on just one key task at one time.
G. Your job for the day is to follow the plan as best as possible.
While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind, we're often told that money can't buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships.
So surely money can't really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} One experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn't important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness.
A. The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well. B. Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run. C. Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel. D. And if so, how can we use it to our advantage? E.

And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences, don't forget the daily joys in life. G. In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy. |
