Recently, I chatted with some friends and found that the phenomenon of involution in the workplace is becoming more and more serious, and overtime has become the norm.
As we all know, many times overtime does not help with salary increases, nor does it necessarily lead to promotion, but it does deprive us of time to enjoy life.
And a lot of times overtime, in fact, there is no high output, just to make yourself look busy.
Know that work is just a part of life, and we should pursue more personal time than endless work.
In order to achieve this goal, today Yimo shares with you 20 simple but effective work Xi.
1.Keeping your work area clean and tidy and limiting the number of personal items to a minimum ensures a clean and functional work environment that helps you be more productive.
2.Before leaving work every day, make sure that all used items are put back in their places and maintain the cleanliness and order of the desk.
3.It's a good idea to think about and plan the main tasks of the day on the way to work, so that you can get to work quickly when you get to the office.
4.The first thing to do when you start working, make a detailed list of daily tasks and cross it off after completing each task to keep your work coherent and productive.
5.Finding the most important thing out of the many tasks and concentrating on it first can be tricky, but it can be rewarding and you feel like the rest of the work is easy.

7.When encountering work problems, you should document the specific situation and possible solutions so that you can solve similar problems quickly and effectively in the future.
8.Record all important account numbers, passwords, and customer information in one fixed place, so you can quickly find them when you need them.

10.Keep your mind active, take note of any ideas or ideas that pop up, and be ready to use them to bring innovation to your work.
11.If a seemingly simple thing takes you a long time, it is likely that your method is not working correctly, take the time to find the best solution and save more time for the same task in the future.
12.Using the Pomodoro technique, which is to take a 5-minute break every 25 minutes of work, is a great way to keep your brain focused and thus increase your productivity.
13.Classify important documents or emails for quick retrieval.
14.When looking for work on the web, keep only the pages and materials that are relevant to the task at hand, and close all extraneous pages to avoid distractions.
15.Regularly review your progress on a weekly or monthly basis, conduct self-assessments, identify your strengths and room for improvement, and set realistic goals for career development.
16.Don't set too many personal goals, focus on completing one or two key tasks each year, ensure that the goals are achievable and manageable, and ensure continuous and stable growth.
17.After completing each stage of the task assigned by the leader, you should take the initiative to report the progress to the leader, and prepare at least two sets of solutions in advance when encountering difficulties.
18.Refuse to be the "panacea" in the workplace, and be brave enough to refuse requests that are beyond the scope of your duties or affect your work.
19.No matter how busy you are at work, you should set aside time for personal growth, such as reading books in related fields and researching industry cases, which is an effective means to improve work efficiency and an important investment in career development.
