Why lazy people are smarter?

Why the lazier people are, the smarter they are. We all know that laziness is bad, but in fact, really smart people don't make themselves confused and busy, but know how to get more gains in a more efficient way, so laziness is also an ability. Let's see why lazy people are smarter.

Why are lazy people smarter? 1 1, lazy method means high efficiency.

There is a best-selling book in the United States called "Lazy People Rule the World", which mentions that it is the best state of your life to get a good job, get an ideal income and enjoy life with the least experience.

Lazy people create the world, and when they don't want to walk, they invent various means of transportation. When the delivery of letters is very slow, with Internet communication, all the convenient technologies around us were originally designed to make us live faster. In layman's terms, it is lazy.

In fact, so is our work. Instead of being lazy, it is better to master appropriate methods to a certain extent and simplify all the links that should be omitted in the work.

Let your energy be devoted to your core importance, which is the most efficient way to work. For example, it is too difficult to calculate data, so we can master the tools for processing data and let them replace our brains. This kind of laziness is most worthy of our promotion.

2. Lazy people will get along better.

In the common people's mind, diligence is the foundation and laziness is shameful. But in fact, in the workplace, without credit, efforts are worthless. Your efforts are different from before, and the benefits you create for the company are the real capital.

In the workplace, results are more important than diligence; Goals are more important than blind work; Efficiency is more important than effort. Therefore, lazy people see through this point, knowing that working hard on the first three items is always more practical than step-by-step inefficiency.

Just like there was an argument on the internet before, two employees, Xiao Xiao and Xiao B, usually get off work within the specified time, and the work is completed perfectly. Xiao B always works hard after work. Who will be more popular with leaders?

Many people think little B will be more likable. In a short time, his efforts were indeed enough to impress the leaders, but in the face of the results, Xiao Ah was more convincing.

Because of his high efficiency and strong execution, Xiao B is useless in doing anything. It seems to be hard, but it is actually procrastinating and disorganized.

3. Improve efficiency and learn to be lazy.

Diligence and laziness, in a sense, are not completely opposite. A veteran in the workplace must know how to adjust the state of diligence and laziness.

They will devote all their energy to major events, relax in the middle stage, and devote a lot of energy to dealing with more important events at the end.

Laziness is actually a very advanced way of thinking, because it allows us to get more benefits with less resources. If we can use our brains to achieve something, we should not start working. This is also the difference between mental labor and coolie labor.

You can be lazy, so you can be diligent and know how to summarize more easily and efficiently; Know how to use the tools and resources around you; Knowing the priority of strengthening things is a necessary ability for a real professional.

Ma Yun once said: Don't work hard, work with your brain. Don't let ineffective efforts trap you. Try to be a lazy and high-performance person.

Why lazy people are smarter? 2 1. The result is more important than the effort.

What you see in the workplace is performance, what you see is the result, how much value and benefit you have created for the company, not how much you have paid.

Some people don't have a "result-oriented" work philosophy. Silver next door is very busy every day. When the company is busy, he feels that all kinds of work revolve around him. Ask him what you've been busy with all day, and he may not be able to say it.

Before going to work, Xiao Ha will determine his work goals for this week and make clear what work to do, so that his daily work can be focused. He will arrange the main work and then do the secondary work, so that he can adjust around the goal in time.

2. Direction is more important than working blindly.

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter. What I fear most at work is being busy.

The parent company recently released a survey of retirees.

After Xiao Cui received the notice, the first thing she did was to read the notice carefully, no matter how busy she was. After learning the notice, the scope of investigation was clarified, which was limited to retired cadres. Due to the small quantity, it was reported within two days. Xiao Cui still goes to work on time every day and never works overtime.

However, Mix of another city company, after receiving the notice, only read it once and hurried to work. He called the retired cadres of the company and investigated them one by one. He has been busy for a week and works overtime every day. As a result, not only did he exceed the reporting deadline, but most of his work was useless. It can be seen that direction is really more important than blind work.

Efficiency is more important than hard work.

Going to work on time is not necessarily laziness. And those who work overtime every day are not necessarily hardworking.

My friend's department has newly recruited a female student to take charge of some human resources work. The company is a state-owned enterprise, and she gets off work early. Sometimes at six or seven in the evening, she is still working overtime. I feel that the newcomers are working hard and working overtime at night. But the department doesn't think highly of her.

I wonder why, too. Later, when I went to her office, I finally learned that she didn't use simple functions, such as sum, when using Excel. She did a calculation with a calculator. Although I am very tired every day and work overtime, I have achieved nothing. It took her three hours to finish the work that others finished in half an hour.

In the workplace, inefficient work is a waste of time.

Remember these three principles, learn to be lazy and don't work blindly, blindly and desperately.

1, clear direction

Everyone knows the story of "the opposite direction".

Chu Mingming was in the south, but wei ren, who wanted to go to Chu, went to the north. Passers-by dissuaded him, saying that the direction was wrong. No matter how fast your horse ran, it would never reach Chu. Wei ren also said he didn't wake up. It doesn't matter. I'm fast and I have more money. Passers-by took the initiative to discourage you, saying that although you brought a lot of money, you were in the wrong direction, and no amount of money could be spent. The man who only wants to go to Chu said impatiently, what's the difficulty? My coachman drives very well!

On the contrary, Guo Wei is a big idiot in our opinion.

But in the workplace, such people are everywhere. They have the same advantages as wei ren, they are young, smart and enterprising, but they seldom reflect on whether the direction they choose is wrong. Many times, I did it for nothing. While admiring my colleagues' success, I often don't know where my mistakes are. Some people in the workplace have no long-term vision and are working hard in the wrong direction. They are still insisting and don't know how to adjust their direction. As a result, they are caught in a busy and inaction situation.

And those who seem lazy can get the appreciation of leaders and get promotion and salary increase because they are good at grasping the direction of progress.

When the leaders assigned them tasks, they were not in a hurry to start, but made clear the direction and then set off.

When talking about his successful experience, a Nobel Prize winner said, "Think calmly and implement it as soon as possible. Direction is always more important than hard work. " Once the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it's just in vain. It can be seen that direction is really more important than blind work.

2. Pay attention to efficiency

Some people work hard all day, some people play and work for half a day easily, and the final result is the same. I believe there are many such examples in the workplace. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is efficiency. Some people are efficient, while others are inefficient. The reason why lazy people can get a promotion and salary increase is that they win in work efficiency in principle.

As we all know, Germans have strong working ability and professional skills. Although the working speed seems to be slow, their work efficiency is high. The reason is the instrumental thinking of the Germans. When dealing with affairs, the Germans demand that the details be in place at one time, and the intermediate requirements cannot be disturbed or interrupted.

However, in the domestic office habits, it is often that A is half done, B is coming, B is just finished, and C is coming again. Results Domestic personnel did 100 things a day, and perhaps only 10 succeeded. Germans only did 20 things a day, but they succeeded in 20 things. Chesterfield once said: Efficiency is the soul of doing a good job. An inefficient person is either eliminated by his own team or dragged down by the whole team and eliminated in the market.

In contrast, an efficient person will never be overwhelmed by the crowd, and he can even help his team to win by surprise in the battle. It is hard for us to imagine that an employee who doesn't pay attention to efficiency will be recognized by the leader and get a promotion and salary increase. From the perspective of employees, the most reliable way to get these is to "strive to meet the ultimate expectations of leaders and make yourself the most ideal employee."

This means that you should not only be loyal to the organization and be good at execution, but also pay attention to efficiency. Lazy people have their own lazy ability, and efficient work standards are the biggest reason why leaders value lazy employees.

Step 3 know how to refuse

Many people have seen Ode to Joy, and they all like Guan Ju 'er in it.

Because she is sweet and kind-hearted. However, she is often criticized because her heart is too good to refuse others. Guan Juer often works late, all because he helps others. Last time, my colleague got sick again and asked her to finish the rest of the work. Finally, she signed it. What my colleagues did was full of mistakes, but when the manager knew it, he only scolded Guan Juer. Because she signed it in the end, she has to bear all the responsibilities. And that colleague, after the accident, didn't say a word for her, and there was no comfort.

Guan Juer's workplace behavior is actually a portrayal of many professionals today:

Although the position is not high, one person can carry the work of three or four people, and welcome the requests of colleagues.

Finally, I warmed others, but I was exhausted, and sometimes even affected the promotion of my career and life.

There is a good saying: not knowing that rejection is a trap means that you may take unnecessary actions, get nothing in return, and even have to bear the blame.

Why do people who look lazy get along well?

Because I know how to refuse, I will not blindly agree to help my colleagues.

Even sometimes the tasks assigned by the leaders will be politely refused if they feel that the distribution is unreasonable.

A person who knows how to refuse can win the respect of others, while a person who doesn't know how to refuse but often complains often feels hard and thankless.

Bi Shumin once said: "Rejection is a right, just like survival is a right."

Therefore, in the workplace, we should learn to refuse, which can not only save the time cost of both sides, but also let ourselves concentrate on things.

Many times, in the workplace, you need a certain ability to refuse to gain a foothold.

In the workplace, those "lazy" people, seemingly lazy, are actually thinking hard.

And those who are "diligent" are diligent on the surface and lazy in thought.

So, please remember these three points, learn to be lazy, and don't work blindly!

Why the lazier, the smarter. 3 Reduce fatigue and work efficiently.

1, leave yourself a "lazy day"

Lazy Day is a rest method advocated by mindfulness teacher Shi Yi. He founded a mindfulness college called Meicun and set up a lazy day to rest all day. No tasks are arranged on this day, and participants can take a walk and meditate, relax reading, write letters to their families and so on.

After being lazy, participants will finish the following tasks more efficiently.

Faced with a lot of affairs, we may feel that working without rest can complete the task as quickly as possible. But this may lead to work stress and worry, and can't improve efficiency.

You might as well leave a "lazy day" to escape from the pressure of work and regain your energy.

What can I do to have a better rest on lazy days?

Contact with nature is a good choice.

You can invite friends to climb mountains and go boating in the lake-breathe natural air, listen to birds and see flowers and trees. Let yourself jump out of the daily environment and temporarily forget the troubles of work and life. You can also touch beautiful things. For example, enjoying a painting, listening to music, or doing something we like, all of which will trigger the reward system of the brain and make us feel relaxed. Laziness is not laziness, but a way of intellectual rest to restore energy and face challenges.

2. Write down your concerns and make cognitive re-evaluation and adjustment.

Worry is not always objective. Stress may be overestimating work tasks and underestimating one's ability to solve problems.

You might as well write down your concerns first.

For example, my uncle's colleague wrote this concern:

"I can't finish the work", "I may be fired" ...

Then reevaluate the worried thoughts.

Is the idea that "the work can't be finished" objective, or is it just your own worry? The re-planning task may be completed.

What are the chances of being "fired"? It may be only 5% or 10%, which is basically impossible. At present, as long as you try your best to finish it, you can ask for help if you can't finish it.

Once we realize the uncontrollable worries in our minds and rethink and evaluate them, the degree of worry may be reduced, thus reducing energy consumption.

3. Cultivate the ability to switch work and rest modes at any time.

In the past, every time my uncle got off work, he still thought, "Is there something wrong with the structure of the article?" "Expression can be further optimized"

Of course, an uncle lying in bed won't get up and change the manuscript.

Although my body and subjective will have switched from work to life, my brain is still in working mode, so it is difficult to get a good rest.

What can I do to cultivate the ability to switch modes at any time?

In Pavlov's conditioned reflex experiment, when the dog is given food, the bell rings and the dog secretes saliva.

Repeat for a long time, if you don't give the dog food or ring the bell, the dog will also secrete saliva.

Through training, the dog's saliva secretion and ringtone form a conditioned reflex. Simply put, when you hear the bell, the dog's brain knows that there is food to eat.

For a long time, my uncle went home from work to take a hot bath, then put down his work and began to rest; Listen to passionate music on the way to work and start working in the company.

Slowly, I found that my brain seems to know that "I have to rest after taking a hot bath and work after listening to music" and can quickly switch between rest and work modes.

It is really a relaxing thing that the brain can actively cooperate with its "rest" and "work" wishes.

We hope to burn longer, release more energy and achieve more results.

Just don't forget, sometimes you need a vacation for your brain and a spa for your mind.

If you are tired, let yourself have a good rest in the right way.

Work and life may be hard, but take time to love yourself, migrant workers!
