Foreword: In the unit, you should do things slowly, try to do it slowly, and when things are done in a while, you will only be hated by others, and you will feel that you are empty; Doing things slowly can make people feel busy, and you can also push off superfluous things.
The afternoon sun quietly fills the office, and the leaves outside the window are blown by the breeze, casting dappled light and shadow on the floor. Xiao Ming sat at his desk, holding a cup of milk tea he had just bought, took a sip, and then moved his gaze to the mountain of documents and emails in front of him.
This is not the first time Xiao Ming has faced such a heavy workload. As the business manager of the company's business department, Xiao Ming needs to handle a large number of orders every day, follow up with customers, and carry out various operational tasks. He remembers that when he first joined the department, he tried to complete every job as quickly as possible, but all he gained was more and more extra tasks and pickiness from his leaders and colleagues.
One day, after working overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Ming finally couldn't help but vent to Manager Ma who was sitting next door. "I've been working hard every day, but people are demanding more and more from me, and I feel like I'm about to lose it. Manager Ma put down the documents in his hand and showed a clear smile on his face: "Xiao Ming, you are doing things too fast, and all the troublesome things in the department are pushed to you to do, so it's no wonder that everyone has higher requirements for you." ”
Xiao Ming was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, Manager Ma said to him earnestly: "Remember, in the company, we have to do things slowly, as slowly as possible. It's done in a moment, and it just makes people think you're empty, and then pushes more work on you. But if you do things slowly, others will think that you are busy all the time and will be embarrassed to add more work to you. ”
Xiao Ming suddenly realized and understood the deep meaning of Manager Ma's words. From that day on, he realized that he could not always race to get the job done, but that he had to learn to allocate his time wisely and deliberately procrastinate and postpone things that were not urgent and unimportant.
The next day, when Xiao Hong came to ask about the progress of a statistical project, Xiao Ming did not reply as quickly as usual that she was 80% complete, but was slightly embarrassed to say that it was only 30% complete and that it would take some more time. Xiaohong nodded and said understandingly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can arrange other important work." ”
A week later, at the department gathering, Manager Ma said to Xiao Ming with a smile: "Xiao Ming has made great progress recently, and finally learned not to always complete everything at once, there are advances and retreats." Keep it up and don't let yourself get too tired! Xiao Ming smiled knowingly, thinking that he had finally mastered the knack of arranging work reasonably in the company.
After another period of time, Xiao Ming was temporarily arranged to attend a meeting that had little to do with the department. Xiao Ming looked at the mountain of work, hesitated and pushed down the meeting, and told the convener that he had been too busy lately to attend this less important meeting. The other party easily agreed to his shirk.
Since then, Xiao Ming has gradually mastered the knack of doing things slowly in the company. Whenever he was approached with an unimportant or troublesome task, he could subtly apologize and express that he had a lot of work to do lately and was afraid that he would not be able to accomplish more. Over time, everyone assumed that Xiao Ming was an over-busy and over-tasking employee, and they no longer casually piled things on his head.
At the end of work on Friday, Xiao Ming turned off his computer and was content to go downstairs to take a taxi home. Manager Ma walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, you have indeed learned not to take on extra work indiscriminately recently, I am very pleased." But don't blame everything on anyone else, balance your workload. See you on Monday! ”
Xiao Ming nodded with a smile and watched Manager Ma leave the office. He understands that in the company, it is very important to have a good work rhythm. Doing things fast doesn't mean doing a good job, it can backfire. Only by doing things slowly can you have more respect and understanding from your colleagues and leaders, and you can find your own rhythm in your busy work. Of course, you can't delay the work too much, and you still need to balance all aspects. However, Xiao Ming believes that with this period of practice and learning, he has slowly mastered the trick and rhythm of arranging work in the unit.
