I have a bad habit of not cleaning up. I often have a messy desk and am criticized by my mother.
Many people believe that messy tables are easy to cause distraction and procrastination. "I just sit at a clean and refreshing table, and creativity can fall from the sky," said hideko Yamashita, the author of the book
But is that true? A study by the University of Minnesota shows that a messy desktop can stimulate people's creativity. People with messy desktops are more creative and adventurous, while people with well-organized desktops are more disciplined and less adventurous to try new things. Therefore, for people engaged in creative work, it has become a good habit not to clean up.
In fact, in the workplace, there are many "bad habits" that subvert our cognition. On the contrary, they are good habits. I advise you to develop them as soon as possible.
1. The message received will not be returned in seconds
Many people will reply to the leader's information immediately as soon as they receive it, thinking that not keeping the leader waiting is to respect the leader and leave a serious and reliable good impression on the leader. In fact, this is a wrong cognition.
First of all, the leader explained the work to you by sending a message, indicating that the work is not urgent. If it was really urgent, he would have called you directly. If you don't hesitate to return to him in seconds, he will mutter: are you fishing and playing with your mobile phone? How else can you reply so quickly?
Second, seconds back means there is no time to think. In just a few seconds, do you really understand the intention of leadership? Is your answer complete and thorough?
If you answer the leader directly without serious thinking, he will feel that you are dealing with it perfunctorily, or you are simple minded and do not consider the problem comprehensively.
Therefore, the correct way to reply to leadership information is to reply in time, but not in seconds. Even the simplest question, you have to wait, think about it, organize the language, and then reply.
2. Leave work on time without overtime
Have you ever had such an experience? When you have finished your work, you can get off work on time, but when you see that the surrounding leaders and colleagues are still working hard and have no intention of getting off work, you are embarrassed to leave. So if the leader doesn't go, you don't go. You brush your sense of existence in the name of overtime, just to win the good impression of the leader.
Slowly, you get off work later and later, your work efficiency is getting lower and lower, and the road to the workplace is getting narrower and narrower.
In fact, working overtime is not a good habit. Not working overtime is.
When you first enter the workplace, you should form the good habit of "leaving work on time without overtime". You should seize every minute of work, not every minute to work.
Try your best to get off work on time. We should all learn from Dongshan Jieyi in the Japanese drama "I get off work at o'clock": she arrives at the post five minutes in advance every day, writes every task on a note and pastes it next to the computer, and then goes all out to work and tear up the note when she finishes one. When all the notes are torn off, the whole day's work is finished.
Not working overtime is the top self-discipline of workers.
If your company is "high efficiency turns into weakness, and acting well is better than doing well", it's best to leave as soon as possible. Such a company is not worth joining.
Eliminate all work within 8 hours, develop efficient habits, and don't let yourself become a slave to work. In this way, you will have more time to invest in yourself and study hard, and your life will be more and more wonderful.
3. Go your own way and be disobedient
In the on-the-job variety show "we who are new to the workplace", Liang Jianluo graduated from a famous school and has good working ability. He was a very excellent intern, but he played an abnormal role in planning the task of "president Dong's afternoon tea" and became the countdown. The reason is that he was too "obedient".
Originally, his plan was not bad. He had completed it in advance and had enough time to improve it. He went to the department head for advice. As a result, the director criticized his plan wildly. What theme was not prominent and the logic was confused... He was so confident that he was completely flustered by such a blow.
So he overturned the original plan and chose to make a new plan. Time was pressing, and the preparation was very hasty. Dong Mingzhu was not satisfied with the planning content or the form of PPT.
Afterwards, Liang Jianluo reflected on his failure, but he was too obedient, did not adhere to his ideas, and was influenced by the opinions of others.
All along, "obedience" has been regarded as a good habit. We have been taught since childhood to be obedient, listen to our parents and teachers, and obedient children are good children. Entering the society is the same. We should listen to the leaders and our predecessors.
But in the workplace, sometimes "obedience" is not a good habit, "disobedience" is.
If you listen to the leader in everything and do what the leader says, you can make fewer mistakes and detours. Your career will not be too difficult, but it will never make you excellent.
If you are used to listening, you will have a dependent heart, slowly lose your thinking and judgment, and finally become a mediocre screw of the enterprise.
Look at those employees who are too obedient in the workplace. Most of them are submissive, follow the rules, have no self-confidence, even have low self-esteem and lack courage and courage. On the contrary, those "disobedient" employees broke into a world.
In the workplace, we should not only do things with "ears", but also do things with "brain". Obedience can't replace your growth, and disobedience is the beginning of your growth.
4 don't be a perfectionist
I have a colleague who is a complete perfectionist. Perfectionism sounds like a good habit, but when perfectionism is implemented in every detail, it will only be a burden.
For example, when making a PPT, he often pursues details to the extent of being picky - just like embroidery, he has to adjust the font size and table border color again and again, and the light details of a PPT have to be changed 10 times. Even if the pursuit of perfection only affects his own work progress, he often delays the project process because of things such as ppt "embroidery". As colleagues in the same group, we can only help him deal with the aftermath for the smooth progress of the project.
Another example is that we organize training, and this colleague is responsible for arranging the venue. As a result, he picked up the details so much that even the paper pasted on the wall had to be completely parallel, which was almost impossible for one time. As a result, just after the paper was pasted, the admission time came - a group of people watched him flustered plug in, turn on and find the microphone In this way, more than ten minutes of everyone's time was wasted - the whole training process was screwed up for the perfection of a few pieces of paper.
This colleague is busy all day like a gyroscope, but by the end of the year, there is no work achievement that can be summarized. Except for the high level of PPT, there is no growth.
It is undeniable that in work, details are very important, and even many times details determine success or failure.
However, carving carefully in unnecessary or unimportant places is a waste of your time and energy.
A person's time and energy are limited. If you tangle too much in those unimportant details, it will affect your work efficiency, and you don't have the energy to do more important work or things that can help you grow.
A study by professors of American business school shows that perfectionism has nothing to do with job performance.
People in the workplace should sometimes pursue "speed first, perfection second". 60 points is enough for those unimportant things. Learn to focus on the big and let go of the small, and focus on those important jobs that bring you growth. If you score 100 points or even 120 points, you will grow all your life.
We will always habitually recognize those recognized values, "be clean and tidy", "be obedient" and "be perfect". But sometimes, the "bad habit" that subverts our cognition is a good habit, which will even benefit you for life.
