Make Good Use Of Your "Waiting Time".

A considerable part of life is spent in waiting. How to make good use of these time is an important part of personal time management. It can also be regarded as a topic of "improving efficiency". It takes no time to assert how much time a person spends in his life, but according to experience, 2-3 hours a day are spent on waiting. But it should be explained that these 2-3 hours are not much related to your personal work efficiency and work attitude. They are often something you have to wait for, for example, commuting, waiting for meetings, waiting for the leader to call.

Of course, a positive attitude and effective method can help you make better use of these time and turn the inevitable waiting into "useful" efficiency time, which is the main thrust of this article.

We know that these times are often fragmentary, and may even end before you realize that you are wasting time in waiting. To make use of them, people often think of "task blocking": dividing a relatively long term work into "small pieces" and dealing with them in a piecemeal time. I think you have tried this method most of the time, and at the same time most of you find it hard to carry on.

To be honest, EXIA's attempt at "task blocking" is a failure, because many of his work is not suitable for "being partitioned". Artificial division will only give oneself "confusion". On the other hand, waiting is also a good time to rest the brain. If you can not think about the work at hand during this period, you can relax your brain and improve your efficiency. So, after a period of trying, I sort out some works that are suitable for fragmentary "waiting".

1. Read various subscription articles 。 For example, for example, some management forum posts: it is obviously not good to ignore this kind of stuff completely. After all, there are some experiences that can be used for reference, but if you find a whole piece of time and cost to read it, it is no doubt that it is also a waste of time. Therefore, if you put it in PDA or cell phone, you can take it out when you have to wait.
   
2. Think about something different. 。 Put some things that need to be considered or planned on a piece of paper, and draw a question in the waiting time. No need to (should not suggest) to consider the ongoing work: for example, when the boss calls you up, you are making a technical plan. When he is summoning, he will consider the content of his next meeting. In short, it will be best for the brain to change its thinking mode.

This skill can also draw inferences in life: for example, if you have the habit of watching TV, put some files or newspapers that are suitable for speed reading on the sofa. Whenever you insert advertisements, you can take a look and get information and avoid being bombed by endless advertisements.

Use the waiting time flexibly, can help you create a lot of valuable things, please try!
