Do you know these people who start their day early, get enough exercise, get to the office early, manage all their meetings on time, eat, spend time with family, read a bit, watch TV, catch up on the news and rest?

Yes, they are definitely annoying people.

It's annoying to look at your growing mountain of chores while others are far more sufficient than you.

Especially when it's not clear how they do it.

After all, we all have the same hours a day.

What do they do differently from us?

Well, today we will reveal 3 tips that will allow both you and you to become more efficient, more efficient and even more comfortable.

Tip One: It does not matter what others do

This is the first and most important tip in almost every field. It does not matter what others do - we are not them. Each and every one of us has a different background. Everyone lives in a different environment and goes through different processes in their life. Not only is there no point in this comparison, it is also harmful. Instead of pushing us forward and allowing us to find the tools to do things efficiently and well, we are pushed into a state of comparison that only adds to frustration and lowers our motivation. Efficiency is not a competition. This is self-improvement. So the only relevant comparison points is what was our situation yesterday? How have we improved today? And how will we get better tomorrow? Put a note if necessary or a daily reminder on the phone - your only competition is with yourself.

When we say this to people who come to us, there are usually two constant objections:

1. At work we are measured on efficiency and also compared ourselves to others.

2. Competition encourages excellence.

We will dismantle these two objections. Those who are in a work environment, especially one that depends on bonuses, are indeed in comparison with colleagues. For years studies have shown that this competition only causes harm to the business itself, but businesses are still bound by this method and this idea and it cannot be ignored. so what are we doing? What does it matter if we understand that there is nothing to compare while the people responsible for my salary think differently?

There are two ways to handle this issue. The first is to quantitatively understand how much the "others" are better. If it's sales - is it a matter of sales volume or transaction size? If it's a number of tasks that are completed, what exactly is the difference? It is worthwhile to go and talk to the manager or employer and better understand where you are in front of others and how you are measured. This is a conversation that most employees do not have with their managers, whether out of misunderstanding or out of discomfort. This communication is critical to understanding how to progress within a work environment. The second way to deal is to talk to managers and better understand how they see you and what they expect you to do better - and then, alone or with their help, build an efficiency plan. There is no reason to wait for the annual feedback, but on the contrary - have shown initiative.

And what about the competition?

It is true that competition encourages us to push ourselves forward and takes more out of us.

It is also true that in every sport and in every competition the contestants belong to the same end.

In no boxing match do you put a boxer who weighs 60 kg against a boxer who weighs 48 kg.

If we want to put ourselves in proper competition, we must make sure that we compete against a person who is in a situation very similar to ours, otherwise it is not a competition but an exercise in self-failure.

Ultimately, the proven way to achieve success and improvement is to place ourselves in front of who we were yesterday.

If every day we progress a little and get better, if every week we can see progress and change and if we make sure to progress all the time, we will very quickly find that we are also overtaking others we have previously seen rivals we can not stand up to.

Tip Two: Identify where we are investing our time

If we do not have a good understanding of our current situation, it is very difficult to measure improvement and success. The problem is that most of us think we know what our situation is, when in fact we have no idea. Simple question: How many hours did you watch TV this week? How many hours did you burn in front of your favorite social network? How many hours did you spend reading? Not about, exactly?

How do we expect to be more efficient when we do not know exactly where we are investing our time right now?

The simplest example is travel time. How many hours a day are you traveling? To work and back, arrangements, child transportation and the like? There is a good chance that this amounts to an average of 3 hours a day if not more. So what? You're probably asking, what are we supposed to do with this? With the amounts of content available today in the audio medium, it's easy to turn 3 wasted hours into hours of growth and development - or even enjoyment. Audiobooks, podcasts and lectures will change the way you approach these journeys.

It's not just about travel. If you look at the way your time is now invested, you will also find a lot of wasted hours, but also misused times. How many hours have you been in meetings that there was no reason for you to be in? How much time wasted waiting for an answer or materials from other people? All of these things have a solution, but before we can get there we must understand what our schedule looks like.

so what are we doing?

For two weeks (or at least one week, although there is a chance it will not be representative), everything we do is recorded. The more detailed - the better. As with diet, it is important to write down the little things that are accumulating. How long did the meeting take today? How long have you been on the phone? Did you go shopping and if so how long did it take? Do you go to the grocery store regularly? How long have you been there?

At the end of these two weeks, you will have a mapping of your conduct.

You will now be able to analyze and understand how to change your situation.

There are analysis and mapping tools as we use them, but you can also sit down and summarize the hours simply in a document and see what your personal situation looks like.

Tip Three: This is not just what we want to do - but what we can do now

Our third tip will allow you to make quick changes throughout the day to be more effective. Most people have one to-do list. Within this list are what needs to be bought for the home, calls that need to be made, a list of payments that need to be arranged, things that need to be prepared for work and so on.

Stop it.

Instead of one list, make several lists and divide them by topic. There are things that can only be done when you are at work. There are things that can only be done when you are away from home. There are things that can only be done if you have a network connection or only if you have the option to make calls. Throughout the day there are quite a few moments where we suddenly have an hour. Instead of taking advantage of it, we usually burn it on a social network or on a trip back and forth to the fridge because we have no idea what to do. We look at the to-do list and see full of things we can not really do at that moment. In this situation we shrug and do nothing.

If, instead of one list, we had a series of lists we could go through the context and see what is right for us at the moment?

Do we have time and opportunity to make calls?

It's time to dump her and move on.

Alternatively at this time it is possible to pay bills or examine the status of the bank account.

You can also take the time to read a book (or listen to a book).

When we have a clear context - it is easier for us to be effective.

Understanding and applying these 3 tips will help you get better and more efficient.
