Dear "worker", stop the busyness in your hands and put aside the flickering mobile phone for a while. Today we are going to talk about the "work groups" that are crowding our mental space all the time.
You've probably seen the news that one woman quit more than 600 jobs after leaving her job. Does this number make you feel a little oppressive?We laugh and say that we have become "slaves of the herd", but behind this laughter, how much is the real helplessness and anxiety?
Let's take a look at the deep reasons behind this popular topic and possible solutions.
First of all, how much did it cost us to face the seemingly simple "received" behind the screen?Group messages come in like waves, and every vibration of the phone seems to remind us that there is work to deal with. Such an immediate response mechanism allows our psychological stress to gradually reach a critical point.
Secondly, when the working hours are artificially stretched and the rest time is constantly compressed, do you feel the constraints of the "tight spell"?A voice tells us that we need to work constantly so that we can show our professionalism and responsibility. But another voice is reminding us that long hours of work are not much more productive.
Experts have pointed out that the working hours are about 50 hours per week, beyond which our productivity will not be multiplied. Instead, it may be wasting time and life, so do we really want to continue like this?
More seriously, however, the growing workforce is not only eroding our working hours, but also eating away at our personal lives. As the boundaries between work and life blur, we gradually lose our precious time.
The growth of modern people's mobile phone dependence also directly reflects the seriousness of this problem. Statistics show that adults in China have used their mobile phones for more than 105 minutes a day - this is inseparable from the "contribution" of those work groups.
Looking at the root of these problems, it is not difficult to see that we urgently need a healthier and more efficient way of working.
Workgroups were originally created to facilitate communication and brainstorming, but now we need to rethink: does it really improve our productivity?Or is it just another form of time killer?
The answer may not be so obvious, but you and I both know that proper communication and information integration not only improves efficiency, but also helps us to maintain mental clarity and balance.
So, how do we break the spell of this workgroup?Here are a few practical ways to consider:
1. Priority classification: classify the work group according to its importance, pay attention to the important ones at any time, and set the unimportant ones to do not disturb.
2. Regular viewing: Instead of passively waiting for the notification of the group message, schedule a specific time to check the work group message.
3. Integration: reduce fragmented task allocation, integrate related tasks, and notify centrally through emails and other forms.
For those managers, they should also start to reflect on the real role of the work group, whether it simplifies the work or complicates the communication
Now, gently put your phone down and take a deep breath. Ask yourself, have you become a "group addict" in the work group?
Looking back and thinking about it, did this incident sting you?
