26 slides of solid takeaways from a big shot, a shame to miss

By: DaDa

Hello everyone, today we're introducing a big name. You've heard of FACEBOOK, right? That's right, this big name is - Zuckerberg. But we're not talking about his road to success; instead we're sharing the 26 slides he made for his employees. Be sure to watch carefully, and you can write your thoughts in the comments section. Alright, without further ado, save it first and watch later. We hope this helps you quickly improve your study and work state!

1. Time is always there; time is about priorities.

2. There will always be time: plan only 4 to 5 hours of real work each day.

3. When you're in the zone, do more; otherwise, rest well. Sometimes you'll go several days without being in a working state, and sometimes when you are in a working state you can be busy for 12 hours a day. This is all completely normal.

4. Value your time and make it worth valuing: your time is worth 1000 USD/hour, so you have to get moving.

5. Don't multitask, it only drains your attention; stay focused, one thing at a time.

6. Build work habits and stick with them; your body will adapt.

7. In a limited amount of time, we are always very focused and efficient.

8. The best way to get into a working state is to work. Start with small tasks and get the work moving.

9. Work iteratively; expecting a perfect finish can be suffocating: "Getting things done is better than a perfect finish." Taking action beats any perfect imagining.

10. Working longer does not equal being more efficient.

11. Work according to importance to improve efficiency.

12. Schedule meetings as early as possible; the time spent preparing for meetings is often wasted.

13. Combine meetings and communication (email or phone) to create uninterrupted working time: a short meeting can also ruin an afternoon, because it tears the afternoon into two smaller blocks of time, so that nothing gets done. PS: when you see a programmer deep in thought, don't go over and interrupt, even a greeting is superfluous.

14. Keep the same working environment all day. Switching between projects/clients lowers efficiency.

15. Work - relax - work = high efficiency (Pomodoro Technique)

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in 1992 that is more micro-level than GTD.

To use the Pomodoro Technique, choose a task to be completed, set the pomodoro time to 25 minutes, work with full focus, and do not do anything unrelated to that task in between, until the pomodoro timer rings, then draw an X on paper and take a short break (5 minutes is enough). After every 4 pomodoro periods, take a longer break.

16. Break unrealistic tasks into reasonable small tasks. As long as you complete the small tasks every day, you will get closer and closer to that big goal.

17. No two tasks ever have the same priority; there is always one that is more important. Carefully consider your to-do list.

18. You must be clear about the one thing you must complete during the day, whatever it is. "Only ever work on the thing that will have the biggest impact." - Jason Cohen

19. Divide tasks into time blocks, and you can feel that they are about to be done.

20. Delegate and make good use of other people's strength. - A gentleman makes good use of things (and people). If someone else can do 80% of something, then let them do it!

21. Turn the page on yesterday; only consider today and tomorrow. Yesterday's home run can't win today's game. - A true hero doesn't boast of past glories.

22. Set a deadline for everything. Don't let work go on indefinitely.

23. For tasks that are urgent or stressful, set an end time; everything can come to an end.

24. Record more, take more notes

25. After entering a highly efficient state, write down anything that distracts you, such as Google search terms, flashes of inspiration, new ideas, and so on. If you write them down, they won't keep bouncing around anymore.

26. Rest, take a break~ Alright, that's all for today's sharing. You've surely learned something new. If you like it, follow us. Pick me pick me up, you like it, I like it too!
