Today I received a new book from the publishing house, “It’s not the work that kills you, it’s the working methods: 46 of the most powerful work skills that elites from GOOGLE, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard can use throughout their lives!” ](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010900309?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202108)》, my name is on the cover of the book, and I have recommended it before.
When you saw the title of the book, did you have the urge to shout “Wow!”? On the one hand, I feel as if I have expressed my true feelings, but on the other hand, I think this title is too powerful, right? What kind of work skills can make the elites from Google, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs and Harvard praise it?
To be honest, when I saw the title of the book, I thought it was another chicken soup for the soul? But then I read the manuscript and found that the author spent a lot of time collecting cases and integrating the work philosophies of world-class people, so that readers can quickly absorb the work skills of global elites over a cup of tea.
For example, the book introduces the story of the chief art director of Japan’s UNIQLO [Koshika Sato] (https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BD%90%E8%97%A4%E5%8F%AF%E5%A3%AB%E5%92%8C), which impressed me deeply. Speaking of this design master, maybe you are familiar with him. In the past, everyone may have known that he was a [genius in the design industry] (https://www.adaymag.com/2021/04/01/satou-kashiwa-story.html), but through the introduction of this book, we can learn Sato Kashiwa’s super organizing skills, which is also an unexpected gain.
Koshika Sato believes that the workplace is a fast-paced place, a place that pursues efficiency, and a field that pays attention to perfect execution. If you want to do your work quickly and well, you need the blessing of organizing skills.
In other words, super tidying is not just for cleanliness, but also for improving work efficiency. There is no need to spend too much energy or a lot of time. As long as you follow certain rules, you can put yourself into an orderly work environment and greatly improve work efficiency. To this end, it is necessary to adhere to several organizing principles:
- Adhere to the “unified” organizing principle
The so-called “unification” means putting similar things together. For example, put all documents in a drawer and stack them in chronological order; store all electronic files in a folder named “Work”, and then classify them according to their contents and summarize them in sub-folders; tidy up the desk and take away unnecessary items; put stationery in a place that is easy to access and comfortable to look at.
- Adhere to the principle of “regular” organization
Files are stored in the computer and are easily forgotten if left alone for a long time. Once you forget it, it will be very difficult to find it next time because office workers have too many computer files. Especially for some intellectual workers and people who rely on computers to work, their data will be full. Therefore, regular tidying is necessary. On the one hand, organization is for classification and storage, and on the other hand, it is to clear out those no longer needed. After all, fewer files make it easier to find them, and the computer will run faster.
- Adhere to the “comfortable” organizing principle
Super finishing technique does not have a set of standards. It is based on the principle of making yourself feel comfortable after finishing. If we are willing, we can innovate an organizing method that makes us feel comfortable. If you don’t have this idea, take our advice. Remember, organization is for efficiency, not organization for the sake of organization. If you spend too much thought and time, organization will become a matter of putting the cart before the horse.
- Adhere to the organizing principle of “regular review”
Organizing is a long-term task that requires regular review. When you are free, you might as well turn on your computer and look at the files you have sorted before. Group those that can be classified together, merge those that can be merged, and delete those that can be deleted directly. Make files more streamlined through regular review and organization.
Looking at these principles, it is actually not difficult to understand. Right? But what is really difficult is the determination to implement it thoroughly and the time to stick to it! Not only did I learn from “It’s not the work that kills you, it’s the working methods: 46 of the most powerful work techniques that elites from GOOGLE, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard have used throughout their lives!” 》I learned forty-six work techniques from this book, which gave me a new understanding of recreating my own work blueprint.
In addition, this book also summarizes eight precise rules for systematizing work, which are also worth referring to:
- Positive mentality─Being able to face problems bravely and stabilize your emotions is an invincible weapon.
- Make a plan first──A well-organized offensive and defensive work with a plan is the real work.
- Actual execution──Action is the bridge between goals and plans, and action ability is the indicator that makes you stand out.
- Control time─How you treat time, time will give you back.
- Organizing Habit──Control the chaos, make everything ready, and gain professional bonus from the super organizing technique.
- Focus on efficiency──put 80% of your time and energy on 20% of important things.
- Interpersonal relationships─Don’t ignore any inconspicuous people and develop relationships sincerely.
- Self-improvement─valuing life beyond 8 hours is your persistence in life.
As the COVID-19 epidemic gradually comes under control, many friends have gradually ended their work from home status and returned to normal operations in the workplace. This timing may be just right to read “It’s not the work that kills you, it’s the working methods: 46 of the most powerful work skills that elites from GOOGLE, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard have used throughout their lives!” 》It!
