In the company, there is a colleague, Lao He, who has worked for many years. The company was established in June 2004 at 5438+00, and CSI joined the company in May 2007. Unconsciously, it has reached the end of March 2020, that is to say, CSI has been working in the company for 13 years, but his position has not changed except for a slight increase in salary. He is a typical veteran in the workplace.

Many people may think that CSI doesn't work hard enough, so he doesn't get the attention of his boss. What I want to tell you is wrong. Lao He is not only diligent, but also more diligent than anyone in the company, because he has been in the position of production manager. He will hold an early meeting for employees in the morning and leave later than anyone else. If it is the peak of delivery, it is common to work all night, but it is the hard-working employees who are delayed in promotion. What is the reason for it

If we really want to trace back to the source, there is only one reason: "low quality diligence."

Csi can complete its work dutifully every time, but there is no extension strategy and no suggestion for sustainable improvement. It's just a step-by-step mechanical operation mode, so no matter how diligent and hard this kind of person is, it is ineffective in the eyes of the boss. Because the boss pays attention to performance, it is this low-quality diligence that ruined the future of Csi.

Generally speaking, low-quality diligence means that the effort is not proportional to the harvest.

Working in any enterprise, the boss must like hard-working employees, but in the boss's eyes, hard work does not mean aimless effort, nor is it unorganized action, but through effective methods, timely and actively complete the assigned tasks and create more value for the organization within limited resources.

The same thing, the highest efficiency and the best result are the efforts worth paying. If you still work overtime in front of the company's computer when everyone else is off work, some bosses will think that the work efficiency is low and the task has not been completed during the working hours, so working overtime will increase the company's water and electricity burden.

For example, a donkey is grinding, pulling hard and sweating like rain, but there is nothing on the grinding. This is low-quality diligence. On the surface, it seems that the donkey keeps turning before grinding and works hard, but no matter how hard it works, there is no effective result. For the owner of the donkey, it accelerates the wear and tear of the stone mill.

The same is true in the workplace, just like the example of my colleague CSI above. On the surface, it seems that he is busy with the company's business every day, and others think that he earns tens of thousands a month. As a result, he was as busy as a bee, but poor. In his usual phrase, "in the company, he has no credit or hard work." Obviously, CSI has never thought about how much contribution his daily efforts have made, just to gain the sympathy of his boss for that little effort.

So low-quality diligence is more terrible than laziness.

Diligence is a means to make up for dullness.

As the saying goes, there is no good talent, please work hard first.

The ancients said that diligence is rewarded by heaven, and diligence can make up for it. For example, smelling chickens dancing and studying hard at a cold window are the best examples of diligence. Since ancient times, many talented people have realized their dreams of life through their own efforts, and Li Ka-shing, the richest man in the world, has reached the peak of his life through his diligence.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with diligence itself. The mistake is that there is no way to work hard, low-quality diligence and ineffective work, so that your efforts and gains are not proportional.

At the same time, this is why in the workplace, so many office workers get up at six o'clock in the morning to wash and get ready to squeeze the subway, and go home from work at night 10. Even people who spend the weekend in the company are still not favored by the boss, and even the chances of promotion and salary increase are getting farther and farther away from you.

If you can make up for it with "methods", why should you make up for it with "diligence"? Everything is output-oriented.

In the workplace, many people don't know that they are on the verge of low-quality diligence, and they don't reflect on the work itself. They only know how to work hard every day. When one day they found that everyone around them had been promoted and raised, they were still standing still, but suddenly they found that their efforts were not rewarded, there was no credit, only hard work.

How to judge whether what you are doing is low-quality diligence, there are three characteristics that can be used as a reference.

65438+

Some people are diligent, hardworking and obedient, and there is no lack of execution. The things arranged by the leaders can't be said to be perfect, at least they can't pick out a lot of faults. But such people have a great disadvantage that they lack subjective initiative, and leaders will not speculate between the lines. They never consider doing things beyond the expectations of their leaders. If the leader doesn't arrange work for the time being, he may immediately become at a loss and look at a loss.

2. Lack of pursuit

There are also some professionals who work hard every day, but don't know what their needs are. They only know what the leaders arrange and do. They are similar to robots that follow instructions. They can even be said to be short-sighted, lack long-term planning, have no backbone and standards to do things, and cannot understand the vision and mission of the organization. Such people can't create much performance for the organization even if they work hard, which is a typical low-quality diligent performance.

3. Lack of judgment

In the workplace, people who lack judgment are more easily influenced by others because they have no opinions, and because they have no backbone, they often brainstorm and trust others more easily. If low-quality and diligent people encounter problems at work, even simple questions will go around in a big circle to find answers, regardless of priority. No matter how hard such people try, it's futile. For example, in school, they used to do piles of simulated test questions, but their test scores were often unsatisfactory. But some students don't seem to study as hard as we thought, but they did well in the exam, but they didn't learn correctly and couldn't grasp the key points.

There is a joke about Ma Yun on the Internet. You can see if it belongs to the characteristics of low quality and diligence.

One morning, Alibaba Ma Yun was resting in a meeting and said to his secretary, Help me buy KFC at noon. Thirty minutes later, the secretary came back and said, I have bought it, which is 460 million dollars. Should I pay Alipay or cash?

Ma Yun immediately frowned and said, Get Xiao Wang back!

I just asked him to buy Zhongnanhai …

Tell him: it's smoke! It's smoke! ! It's smoke! ! !

Although the above case is a joke, it actually shows that judgment is very important as an employee. If employees misinterpret the boss's intentions, it is likely to bring losses to the organization. Even if such a person works hard, it is a low-quality diligent performance.

Edison said that success = 1% talent +99% diligence.

In Edison's words, most of the factors of success are obtained through hard work. For example, when Edison invented the electric light bulb, it was precisely because Edison was tireless and not afraid of failure that he solved the problem of the filament of the electric light bulb after countless experiments, and finally the great invention of the electric light bulb came out. But we only understand half of this success formula. What really works is the talent in front of 1%.

Someone once found a report that Edison said this sentence in the past. Edison's inventions were all successful with 1% talent and 99% sweat, but without that 1% talent, the latter 99% sweat was in vain. Therefore, in order to succeed, in addition to diligence, you need 65,438+0% talent.

The same applies to workplace work. If you don't have 1% methods or ideas, then 99% of your efforts are in vain. Only through the correct methods and unremitting efforts can you succeed.

For example:

I have a friend who works as a manager in an advertising company. One day, he told me that his company recently recruited two new interns. People trained in the same school have different ways of doing things, and the results are naturally different.

Intern A has been very diligent since he joined the company. Every day, he is immersed in writing a copy, writing and changing, and often working overtime until late at night.

She seems to be very devoted to her work, but is she?

Her copy is the worst feedback, and she herself is the slowest progress.

Intern b entered the company, not in a hurry to do specific work, but asked for advice and study everywhere.

The first step is to make friends with predecessors and seek experience;

The second step is to look through the information and learn some skills to grasp the product points and copy.

Finally, she summed up many methods and found a suitable position before writing a handwritten copy.

She can always finish the work in the shortest time, and the number of revisions is very few.

Intern B belongs to someone who has found a way to work hard that suits him.

Einstein's formula for success: "success = diligence+correct method+less empty talk."

It is good for young people to have dreams, but it is not enough to have dreams and know diligence. Many times diligence is just self-deception. Only through strategic diligence and efforts is the shortcut to success.

Through the above three characteristics of low diligence, you can combine your actual situation and compare them to see if you are also in the low diligence area. If the answer is yes, how to solve it?

You may find that many people around you succeed unconsciously. It seems easy on the surface, but there are unknown mysteries behind it.

You also know that everyone is 24 hours a day, and time is a limited and non-renewable resource. How to master methods and work efficiently is the secret you have been exploring.

If you have been working hard at low quality, you are wasting your time, your life and even killing your own dreams.

How to bid farewell to low-quality diligence and do the most efficient thing in a limited time? Here are five methods for your reference.

First, adjust the mentality.

If you are sure that you are making low-quality efforts, don't panic and don't worry. Calm down first to recognize the status quo, and then give yourself positive psychological hints. You can also adjust your mentality through proper exercise.

An efficient day starts with a good attitude.

As long as you have a good attitude, you can go further.

Second, eliminate interference.

In real life, many people are often on the edge of low-quality diligence. The biggest reason is that there are too many interferences, so eliminating interference is also an important step out of the low-quality diligence zone.

When you concentrate on doing something, the surrounding environment is also the most important. For example, it is definitely difficult for people to settle down to study or work in a noisy environment, and the mobile phone network is also a factor that causes interference. It's best to try to disconnect the phone.

For example, if you read while listening to music, the reading effect will definitely be affected. After all, you can't do it all at once

Third, plan ahead.

Goal traction is very important, we can move towards a clear goal step by step, then the goal comes from planning in advance.

When it comes to planning life, it can also be understood as a list life. In other words, what you need to do next can be achieved through ladder-shaped goals. After sorting out the list of things you need to do, you can finish it according to the existing resources. At the same time, you need to set a completion time for yourself, otherwise it will be inefficient.

Through the task list, you can clearly know where your time will be invested and what you will get, so planning in advance is also an important step for efficient work.

Fourth, reflection and summary.

After the first three steps, the next step is reflection and summary, just like the old saying: three rescues a day.

Only by summing up can we find the shortcomings of the past, and by analyzing the shortcomings can we avoid making the same similar mistakes next time.

You may have been trying to find the secret of efficient people, including reflection and summary. Whether it is an individual or an organization, it is difficult to succeed at one time most of the time. It is often through a lot of exploration, and then through reflection and summary of the shortcomings in the exploration process, it can finally succeed step by step. Therefore, behind every glamorous, there are unknown bitterness.

Fifth, cultivate one's morality.

This fifth point seems to have nothing to do with efficient work, but it is also inextricably linked.

As the saying goes, only those who can rest can do things.

By self-cultivation here, I mean taking a rest. Only those who know how to rest properly can arrange their work reasonably and effectively. On the contrary, if you just do nothing but rest, it is not only unwise, but also a burden to your health. What's more, if you don't know how to rest properly, you won't have time to reflect and summarize, and as a result, you won't be able to do efficient work.

Therefore, in the long run, learning to rest will be more helpful to personal growth, such as going to bed early and getting up early, eating healthily, traveling properly and so on.

These are five ways to bid farewell to low-quality diligence and move towards efficient work. Maybe you'll have a better idea. If you don't have it or not, try the above method. Only if you really do it, can it bring you unexpected results.

Life is a long journey, so when your life is not smooth, you don't have to be sad. Maybe your strength can usher in the sun tomorrow.

Many people may have complained about the unfair fate. Actually, your efforts are not enough. Maybe the world will be fair when you work hard and become stronger.

There is a saying: you can never wake a person who pretends to sleep. Don't let low-quality diligence ruin your future.

If you work hard at low quality, your life may be temporarily confused, but you don't have to be depressed. As long as you wake up in time, correct your past shortcomings in time, and strive to be an efficient person, your life can also be brilliant.

Finally, please believe in yourself. As long as you are willing to work hard, recognize the reality and bid farewell to low-quality diligence, the world will repay you every penny you pay in the future. Because of high-quality diligence, the world will not let everyone down.
