📝 培养高效习惯:利用碎片时间

本段主要介绍了作者通过实践多种提高生产力和时间管理的方法,总结出的五个日常小习惯。这些习惯包括:使用便携式任务清单来节省时间,如何在公共交通上利用空闲时间进行工作或个人发展,以及如何避免无意识地浪费时间在社交媒体上。作者分享了自己如何通过这些习惯在忙碌的生活中找到平衡,例如在通勤时处理工作邮件、编辑内容、阅读文章等,从而每周节省7.5小时,相当于多出一整天的时间。

05:00

🕒 识别并消除小时间浪费者

第二段讲述了作者如何通过关注自己在手机上的活动,意识到许多5到10分钟的碎片时间累积起来就是数小时的浪费。作者通过意识到这些小时间浪费者,例如无意识地滑动手机、决策午餐和晚餐吃什么、选择衣服等,开始采取措施减少这些时间浪费。例如,通过改变手机应用的位置来减少无意识的使用,以及通过预先准备餐食来减少决策时间。

10:00

🔄 习惯叠加:结合被动和主动活动

在这一段中,作者介绍了习惯叠加的概念,即将被动活动(如走路、洗碗、锻炼)与主动活动(如听播客、打电话、写作)结合起来,以此提高个人成长和学习的时间。作者通过实例说明了如何有效地结合这两种活动,比如在走路时规划视频大纲,在火车上回复消息,在健身房或准备餐食时听播客。这种方法可以帮助人们感觉每天都有更多的时间,并更有效地管理时间。

15:02

💪 认识到时间的价值不均等

作者在这一段中讨论了时间的价值是不均等的,人们的精力和注意力在一天中会有高峰和低谷。通过意识到这一点,作者开始根据自己的能量和注意力水平来规划一天的工作。例如,作者曾是早上5点去健身房的人,但后来意识到这并不适合自己,于是调整了工作和锻炼的时间。作者建议通过自我觉察和实验来了解自己的能量模式,并根据这些模式来安排任务,从而提高工作效率和质量。

⏰ 时间阻塞:有效管理时间

最后一段讨论了时间阻塞策略,这是一种通过为任务设定具体时间来提高效率的方法。作者提到像埃隆·马斯克和比尔·盖茨这样的成功人士也使用这种方法。通过时间阻塞,人们可以减少帕金森定律的负面影响,即任务会填满为它们分配的时间。作者建议通过日历或计划工具来实施时间阻塞,并根据任务所需的精力和注意力水平来选择最佳时间。此外,作者还提供了一些具体的行动步骤,帮助观众开始实践这些习惯。

Highlights

作者在过去三年中尝试了几乎所有的生产力和时间管理技巧,并总结出五个小的日常习惯,帮助他在忙碌的生活中最大化时间利用和保持平衡。

作者每天全职工作,通勤两小时,每周撰写一份通讯和制作一个YouTube视频,每天锻炼,饮食健康,每晚睡眠超过7小时,并且仍然尽量抽出时间做自己喜欢的事情,如见朋友、阅读和个人发展。

第一个习惯是保持并使用便携式任务清单,这至少每周节省了7.5小时。作者利用公共交通时间来完成工作任务,而不是在社交媒体上无目的地滑动。

作者认为,大约85%的人在公共交通上的时间用于浏览社交媒体,而只有5%的人会用手机玩游戏。他建议利用这些“空闲时间”来进行更有意义或更有用的事情。

便携式任务可以在几乎任何有空闲时间的情境中使用,它们通常只需要手机或大脑,不需要深度集中注意力,也不需要大块的时间。

作者通过在火车上工作、编辑视频、阅读和保存文章、思考问题或创意,而不是在社交媒体上滑动,从而有效利用了通勤时间。

通过计算,作者指出每周花在火车上的7.5小时相当于一个工作日,这可以用来与朋友和家人共度更多时间,锻炼身体,或者进行自我关怀和放松。

作者建议创建自己的便携式任务清单,并基于个人兴趣、优先事项和目标进行分类。他使用Notion来管理所有的待办事项,并从中分配时间块。

第二个习惯是消除小的时间浪费者,这可以每周节省4.37小时。作者通过意识到自己在手机上的小动作,如5到10分钟的滑动,累积起来就是几个小时的浪费。

作者通过移动Instagram应用的位置来减少无意识的滑动,并通过餐前准备和创建胶囊衣橱来减少决策时间。

第三个习惯是习惯堆叠,这至少每周节省了5小时。作者通过将被动活动(如走路、洗碗、锻炼或餐前准备)与主动活动(如听播客、打电话、写作或思考)结合起来,有效地利用了时间。

第四个习惯是意识到不是所有的时间都是平等的。作者通过调整日常活动的时间,如将锻炼移到下午,将深度工作放在早上,来匹配自己的能量和注意力波动。

第五个习惯是时间阻塞,这是一种通过为任务分配特定时间来提高效率的策略。作者通过在日历上设置时间块,减少了帕金森定律的负面影响。

作者建议从这五个习惯中选择一个开始实施,而不是一次性全部尝试。通过逐步建立这些习惯,可以更有效地管理时间和提高生产力。

行动步骤一是保持一份便携式任务清单,写下可以在公共交通或等待时完成的任务,并创建一个易于访问的任务列表空间。

行动步骤二是识别三个小时间浪费者,并制定策略来减少这些浪费。

行动步骤三是考虑两件可以开始实施习惯堆叠的事情,并计划具体如何操作。

行动步骤四是识别自己的高价值和低价值时间,并对当前如何使用这些时间进行审计,开始探索将更多低价值任务转移到低价值时间的可能性。

行动步骤五是在周末花15到30分钟时间来为下周进行时间阻塞。

play00:00

I have spent the last 3 years

play00:01

experimenting with almost every

play00:03

productivity and time management tip out

play00:06

there there are five small daily habits

play00:08

some evidence backed and some of my own

play00:11

that I now use to get the most out of my

play00:13

time and balance everything in my busy

play00:15

life if you want my credentials I'm

play00:17

currently working full-time with a 2hour

play00:19

commute I write one newsletter and

play00:21

create one YouTube video each week I

play00:24

exercise every day eat well and get 7

play00:26

plus hours of sleep at night and still

play00:28

try and make as much time as possible to

play00:30

do the things that I love like seeing

play00:32

friends and reading and working on my

play00:34

personal development the first habit is

play00:36

keeping and using a portable task list

play00:39

and this saves me at least 7 and 1/2

play00:42

hours a week this might be an unpopular

play00:44

opinion but I genuinely love public

play00:46

transport it's literally a free pass or

play00:49

a $5 pass to getting where you want to

play00:51

go without having to do the driving

play00:53

yourself I would say about 85% of people

play00:56

use this time to scroll on social media

play00:59

and 5% spend at playing games on their

play01:01

phone if this is you it's not your fault

play01:03

and it's what I used to do as well it's

play01:05

because it's the path of leas resistance

play01:07

scrolling and consuming social media

play01:10

content has turned into a norm every

play01:12

time that we are sitting on public

play01:13

transport waiting in the car for our kid

play01:16

or our friend or filling in time in

play01:18

between meetings and classes I like to

play01:20

call these waiting times empty time and

play01:22

there's something that the other 10% of

play01:24

people do with this empty time that

play01:26

allow them to make these small parts of

play01:28

their day more meaning meaningful or

play01:30

more useful they use something that I

play01:32

like to call portable tasks whether they

play01:34

realize it or not a portable task can be

play01:37

used in almost any situation where you

play01:39

have empty time they typically involve

play01:42

things that require only your phone or

play01:44

your brain they don't require deep

play01:46

concentration and they don't require

play01:48

large blocks of time these portable

play01:50

tasks could be work rated they could be

play01:52

personal admin or they could be related

play01:54

to your personal growth and development

play01:56

or even rest and relaxation so every day

play01:59

I drive Drive 15 minutes to the train

play02:01

station and then I take a 45 minute

play02:03

train to work instead of scrolling

play02:05

social media on these train rides I've

play02:07

used the time to respond to messages to

play02:10

create and edit content I'm probably

play02:12

editing this YouTube video on the train

play02:14

right now I've read and saved articles

play02:16

and posts that I wanted to explore more

play02:18

I've even just sat on the train for 45

play02:20

minutes and let my mind work through a

play02:22

current problem that I'm having or an

play02:24

idea that I've come up with it might not

play02:26

sound like much but let's do the maths

play02:28

if I am taking the train for 45 minutes

play02:31

twice a day 5 days a week that equals

play02:34

7.5 hours every week an entire work day

play02:38

this is one whole day that you get back

play02:40

to spend more time with your friends and

play02:41

family or get in that exercise that you

play02:44

can never find time for it's time you

play02:46

can now use to do the needle moving work

play02:48

on your side hustle or Hobbies or maybe

play02:50

it will just give you the opportunity

play02:52

for a bit more self-care and relaxation

play02:54

time that will really help you to

play02:56

perform at your best so some inspiration

play02:58

for other portable task that you could

play03:00

use you could read a book or listen to a

play03:03

podcast you could create your next

play03:05

workout program you could clear out your

play03:06

overflowing camera roll or tidy up your

play03:09

home screen and like I spoke about

play03:11

before you could just use it to let your

play03:13

mind wonder and just decompress from the

play03:15

day if you do genuinely want social

play03:17

media time because it is okay to be on

play03:19

social media you could use this time for

play03:22

that intentionally it's more just about

play03:24

eliminating the Mindless scrolling the

play03:26

key here is to have a constant list of

play03:28

portable tasks that you can pull from so

play03:31

you don't end up on the train or waiting

play03:33

for someone and then spending all of

play03:35

that time deciding what to actually do

play03:36

with the time so create your own

play03:38

portable task list based on your

play03:40

interest priorities and goals what I do

play03:43

is I keep a master to-do list on notion

play03:46

and this houses all of my different

play03:48

to-dos which I then pull from and time

play03:51

block into my days so under this list I

play03:54

have a category section and one of those

play03:56

categories is portable tasks or phone I

play03:59

think it's called called so every time

play04:00

I'm in a situation where I only have my

play04:03

phone on me but I have a bit of spare

play04:04

time then I just sort this notion

play04:06

database into phone tasks only and I

play04:09

pull things from there if you want to

play04:11

make your own one of these lists then

play04:13

you can take the free notion 101 course

play04:15

that I created which I'll pop in the

play04:17

description below a small habit like

play04:19

this is something that contributes

play04:20

massively to a more balanced and

play04:22

fulfilling life by giving you time back

play04:24

and helping you to use your minutes more

play04:26

meaningfully the second habit is

play04:28

eliminating small time wasters which

play04:30

could save you 4.37 hours per week this

play04:34

is inspired by the weekly Apple screen

play04:37

time report which always makes me

play04:38

question what I am doing with my life I

play04:40

went through a phase where I was racking

play04:42

up almost 7 hours of screen time a day

play04:45

yes I was using my phone to create

play04:47

content and track my workouts and listen

play04:49

to things on Spotify but those things

play04:51

absolutely did not take me 7 hours and I

play04:54

could never quite work out how it

play04:56

somehow got up to that amount because I

play04:58

wouldn't spend an hour straight

play05:00

scrolling on Instagram or Tik Tok I

play05:02

started paying more attention to what I

play05:04

was actually doing with my phone and I

play05:06

came to realize that it was all these

play05:08

little 5 to 10 minute Scrolls that

play05:10

somehow added up to hours each day it

play05:13

was the ones where I would just finish a

play05:14

work and reward myself with a little

play05:16

scroll on my phone or where I didn't

play05:19

know what to do next and so I would

play05:20

procrastinate by scrolling on my phone

play05:23

even when I just got home from a long

play05:25

day and would just spend 5 minutes in

play05:27

the car before going inside just just

play05:29

doing a small scroll they really don't

play05:31

feel like much but all it takes is 10 of

play05:33

these little 5 minute Scrolls to waste

play05:36

almost an hour of your day and it's not

play05:38

just our phone that's the issue because

play05:40

these small time waster are absolutely

play05:43

everywhere deciding what to eat for

play05:44

lunch or dinner can add up to 70 minutes

play05:47

a week going back and forth on what to

play05:49

wear each day can add up to 35 minutes a

play05:51

week looking for a closer park for 10

play05:53

minutes instead of just parking 100 m

play05:55

away and walking can add up to 70

play05:58

minutes a week and things like driving

play06:00

all the way home and then going back to

play06:02

the gym instead of just driving directly

play06:04

to the gym eliminating that saves me 80

play06:07

minutes a week once you become aware of

play06:09

these things they start appearing

play06:11

absolutely everywhere so the first step

play06:13

to getting your time back is to identify

play06:16

these time wasters I did this just by

play06:19

starting to become aware of what I was

play06:20

doing as I went throughout the day what

play06:22

are you doing repeatedly that you really

play06:24

don't need to what things are taking

play06:26

extra time that you could eliminate and

play06:28

how can you make the things that you do

play06:30

regularly slightly more efficient once

play06:32

you've gained this awareness then you

play06:34

can start to implement strategies to

play06:36

reduce the time wasting so for example

play06:39

with my bad Instagram scrolling habit I

play06:41

would just move the Instagram app on my

play06:44

home screen every week this brought my

play06:46

conscious mind into the picture when I

play06:48

was trying to look for the app and gave

play06:50

me a moment to question whether I

play06:52

actually wanted to use it another thing

play06:54

that I do is meal prepping because this

play06:56

eliminates the decision making when I'm

play06:58

trying to work out what to eat for lunch

play07:00

and dinner another massive thing was

play07:02

creating a capsule wardrobe to make

play07:05

choosing my clothes each day so much

play07:07

simpler so identify your time waster

play07:10

think about some different strategies

play07:11

that you could use to eliminate these or

play07:13

to reduce your bad habits and start

play07:16

giving yourself back the time to do more

play07:18

meaningful fulfilling things habit

play07:20

number three is one of my absolute

play07:22

favorites and this is habit stacking

play07:24

which has saved me at least 5 hours a

play07:27

week if you feel like you don't have

play07:29

time for personal development or

play07:31

learning a new skill or exercising or

play07:34

even just responding to messages then

play07:36

this one is for you habit stacking has

play07:39

been the single biggest tool that I have

play07:41

used to prioritize my personal growth

play07:43

and learning while living an extremely

play07:45

busy life there's a lot of different

play07:47

definitions for this but my favorite way

play07:49

to explain this is combining a passive

play07:52

activity with an active one passive

play07:54

activities are normally physical ones

play07:57

things like walking doing the dish es

play08:00

working out or meal prepping active

play08:02

activities are mental so things like

play08:05

listening to a podcast taking a phone

play08:07

call writing or thinking about something

play08:10

now multitasking on two passive or two

play08:14

active tasks doesn't work you can't run

play08:17

and meal prep at the same time and you

play08:19

can't write an email and respond to a

play08:21

message at the same time but habit

play08:23

stacking one of each of these does work

play08:26

for example I wrote the outline for this

play08:28

you you video while I was walking I

play08:31

create content and respond to messages

play08:34

while I'm on the train I listen to

play08:36

podcasts and audio books while I'm at

play08:38

the gym or meal prepping or washing the

play08:40

dishes these are really simple

play08:42

activities that can solve the problem of

play08:44

feeling like you never have enough time

play08:46

in the day or having your personal

play08:48

growth always put in the do later pile

play08:50

you are sitting right now with a

play08:52

portable device in your hands that you

play08:53

can do absolutely anything on this makes

play08:56

habit stacking one of the easiest ways

play08:58

to implement more productivity into your

play09:00

life and manage your time better so

play09:02

experiment with some different forms of

play09:04

habit stacking and work out which

play09:06

combinations work best for you and your

play09:08

goals habit number four is more of a

play09:11

mindset shift but it's realizing that

play09:13

not all times are created equal this is

play09:16

a big one when I first realized this my

play09:18

life completely changed and I have never

play09:21

looked at time planning or productivity

play09:23

the same way again I used to look at my

play09:26

mental capacity and focus as this

play09:28

straight line that stayed constant

play09:30

throughout the whole day I thought that

play09:32

doing a task at 7:00 a.m. would take the

play09:34

same amount of time feel just as

play09:36

difficult and be done to the same

play09:37

quality as if I did that task at 700

play09:40

p.m. turns out it doesn't quite work

play09:42

that way our bodies go through natural

play09:45

Peaks and dips in concentration energy

play09:48

and focus throughout the day these Peaks

play09:50

and dips depend on our sleep and wake

play09:53

times our chronotypes so whether you're

play09:55

an early bird or a night owl as well as

play09:57

things like our habits and our lifestyle

play10:00

and the way that we look after our

play10:01

health realizing this made me start

play10:03

planning my day around not just my time

play10:06

but also my energy and focus levels I

play10:09

used to be a 5:00 a.m. morning gym girly

play10:12

I would head to the gym before work get

play10:14

my workout done go to work feeling great

play10:17

and then come home try and work on my

play10:19

side hustle or work on creating content

play10:21

and feel absolutely exhausted I was an

play10:24

introvert spending all day talking I was

play10:26

doing lots of mental work even just

play10:29

having to pay attention to the way that

play10:30

I was holding myself and interacting

play10:32

with others all of this just really took

play10:34

it out of me and I didn't have very much

play10:36

left at the end of the day in terms of

play10:38

my mental capacity the main issue was

play10:41

that I was putting a task that energized

play10:42

me my workouts at the start of the day a

play10:45

time where I was already high energy I

play10:47

was then putting a task that took a lot

play10:49

of energy from me my deep focused work

play10:52

at the end of the day when my energy was

play10:54

already depleted I had nothing left to

play10:56

give I was just trying to pull from an

play10:57

empty cup and it was it was completely

play10:59

mismatched so what I did was I started

play11:02

swapping these times instead of working

play11:04

out in the morning I started heading

play11:06

into the city early and doing 90 minutes

play11:09

of my focus work before going to my

play11:11

full-time job then at the end of the day

play11:13

after I'd used up all this mental energy

play11:16

and I had to commute all the way home I

play11:18

would use up my physical energy by going

play11:21

to the gym or going for a walk but I

play11:23

wouldn't do a task that required more

play11:25

mental energy that I didn't have

play11:27

understanding your unique patterns and

play11:29

energy fluctuations really comes down to

play11:31

self-awareness and experimentation you

play11:34

can either track your energy and focus

play11:36

levels for a few days or just have a

play11:38

think about the times where you normally

play11:40

do your best work and try and dedicate

play11:43

those times to the work that produces

play11:45

the most value for you I can guarantee

play11:47

you that when you start aligning your

play11:49

tasks with your energy levels you will

play11:51

multiply the quality of work that you

play11:53

produce it will take you less time and

play11:56

you'll find doing the work easier you're

play11:58

genuinely making work feel more fun

play12:00

because you have more energy to give to

play12:02

it so in summary first work out your

play12:05

high value and low value times based on

play12:07

your energy and focus levels then work

play12:10

out your high and low value tasks based

play12:12

on how much energy and focus they

play12:14

require and how much they contribute to

play12:16

your goals I spoke about deep and

play12:19

shallow work in one of my past videos so

play12:21

go have a look at that if you want to

play12:23

know more about working out which type

play12:25

of work is the most important then all

play12:28

that's left to do is to match your times

play12:30

with your tasks so put your low value

play12:33

tasks at your low value times and your

play12:35

high value tasks at your high value

play12:38

times this is such a simple change but

play12:40

when you start arranging your day based

play12:42

on your energy and focus levels and not

play12:44

just your time you will get so much more

play12:47

out of your day and finish the day

play12:48

feeling so much better about the work

play12:50

that you've done habit number five is

play12:53

time blocking time blocking is a

play12:55

strategy that Elon Musk Bill Gates and

play12:57

Cal Newport the author of deep work all

play13:00

used to get the most out of their time

play13:02

most of us treat our task like ice we

play13:04

think they're this solid block of work

play13:06

that take up a predefined amount of

play13:08

space but in reality your tasks are like

play13:11

water they mold to fit the space that

play13:13

you put them in so right now it's a

play13:15

Sunday and I'm filming this YouTube

play13:17

video if I was to have blocked off the

play13:19

whole day to film this video it would

play13:21

have taken me the whole day I would have

play13:23

started procrastinating and focusing on

play13:25

things that didn't really matter I would

play13:27

know that I'd have time to film again

play13:29

and so I probably wouldn't do a very

play13:30

good job the first time but the

play13:32

difference is that today I have also

play13:34

gone to the gym I've meal prepped I've

play13:36

grocery shopped I've seen a friend I've

play13:38

set aside time to read this afternoon

play13:41

and so I don't have the whole day free I

play13:43

don't have time to procrastinate on the

play13:45

video this has meant that I am more

play13:47

intentional and productive with the 1 to

play13:49

2 hours that I do have this comes back

play13:51

to Parkinson's law we will make tasks

play13:54

more complicated and be less efficient

play13:56

with our time just so that those tasks

play13:58

fill the time available for its

play14:00

completion so I've given 1 to 2 hours to

play14:03

my task today it's going to fill up that

play14:05

time if I gave it a whole day then it

play14:07

would fill up all of that time instead

play14:09

when we time block we reduce the

play14:11

negative effects of Parkinson's law by

play14:14

actively setting boundaries and creating

play14:16

self-defined deadlines to complete the

play14:19

task in we basically pour water into a

play14:21

mold instead of all over the floor in a

play14:24

world where we are increasingly in

play14:26

charge of our time where there is always

play14:28

a million things to do and where our

play14:30

results are based Less on the number of

play14:32

hours that we put in and more on the

play14:34

quality of those hours implementing

play14:36

structure like this has never been more

play14:38

important how do we actually time block

play14:41

well it's pretty much as simple as it

play14:42

sounds you take the task that you have

play14:44

to do decide how long you have to

play14:47

allocate for it and then you add it into

play14:49

your calendar this pairs really well

play14:51

with habit number four about matching

play14:53

your task to your energy and focus

play14:55

Levels by not looking at just how much

play14:57

time the task will take but also looking

play14:59

at how much energy it will require you

play15:01

can decide the best time in the day to

play15:03

place a Time block for that task now

play15:06

this will take time to get right you

play15:08

won't immediately know how long a

play15:10

certain task will take or how much you

play15:12

can actually get done in an hour you

play15:14

might not know where your energy levels

play15:16

sit and when the best time to do certain

play15:18

types of work is so my biggest

play15:20

suggestion is to just start with what

play15:21

you think and be realistic just because

play15:24

you want a task to only take 1 hour it

play15:26

doesn't mean that you can squeeze a 4H

play15:28

hour task into 1 hour it'll just create

play15:31

more stress and anxiety and really

play15:33

feelings of inadequacy when we then

play15:35

don't get it done so start by setting a

play15:37

realistic period reflect on how much

play15:39

time it actually took and then start

play15:41

adjusting your times from there okay I

play15:43

think there is a lot that we can take

play15:45

away from this video the biggest thing

play15:47

is just don't expect yourself to

play15:49

implement all five of these habits at

play15:51

once because that I can guarantee you is

play15:53

going to be impossible I have built up

play15:55

these habits over years and a lot of

play15:57

experimentation has happened along the

play15:59

way so what I would recommend is to

play16:01

start with just one of these action

play16:03

steps and then when you've successfully

play16:05

added that habit in then come back to

play16:07

the video and choose another one to add

play16:09

in so action step one is to keep a list

play16:13

of portable tasks write down an area of

play16:15

your life where you can Implement these

play16:17

portable tasks whether that's on the

play16:18

train or waiting to pick someone up each

play16:20

day and then create a space to keep your

play16:23

list of portable tasks that you can

play16:25

access easily again if you want to

play16:27

create your list you can use the notion

play16:28

101 course otherwise you could just make

play16:31

something in your phone or even on a

play16:33

notepad that you take with you but habit

play16:35

number two identify three small time

play16:37

wasters that you're currently doing and

play16:40

create a strategy or multiple strategies

play16:42

to start reducing these time wasters for

play16:45

habit number three think about two

play16:47

things that you're currently doing that

play16:48

you could start implementing some form

play16:50

of habit stacking into and plan out

play16:53

exactly how you will do this so if you

play16:55

want to start habit stacking on your

play16:56

drive to work then work out exactly what

play16:59

podcast that you're going to listen to

play17:01

so when the time comes around

play17:03

implementing it becomes that much easier

play17:05

for habit number four identify your high

play17:08

and low value times do an audit of what

play17:11

you currently spend that time doing and

play17:13

start exploring where you could transfer

play17:15

more low value shallow work tasks to

play17:19

lower value times and habit number five

play17:22

time blocking set aside 15 to 30 minutes

play17:25

on a Friday afternoon or on the weekend

play17:27

to time block your week ahead thank you
