Abantu bavame ukuxhumanisa ukuphathwa kwesikhathi nebhalansi yokuphila komsebenzi—futhi ngesizathu esihle. Lokhu kuxhumana kuqhamuke kuNguquko Yezimboni ngesikhathi uHenry Ford ekhuthaza ukuthi izimpelasonto kuthuthukiswe ukudayiswa kwezimoto. Namuhla, njengoba inguquko ye-AI iguqula amaphethini ethu okukhiqiza endabuko, abanye abantu bakhiqiza kakhulu kunangaphambili. Ukuphatha isikhathi nokukhiqiza kuxhumene ngokujulile. Ngaphambi kokuthi siqale, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuphatha isikhathi akuphathelene nezimiso zokuziphatha— kunalokho, kumayelana nekhono elibalulekile lokwazi ukuthi cha nini.
Impendulo emfushane nesobala iwukuhlela nokubeka phambili ngendlela efanele. Isikhathi asiyona into esiyithola ngomlingo—into esiyidalula ngemikhuba namasu amabomu. Nansi indlela yokukhomba nokufuna lawo mahora afihliwe:
Izithunywa Eziyinhloko : Ngeke uzenzele yonke into, futhi lokho kulungile. Nikeza imisebenzi lapho kungenzeka khona ukuze ugxile kulokho okubaluleke ngempela. Ukuthumela amandla kuyikhono. Kodwa-ke, kufanelekile ukuqonda ukuthi ukwaba imisebenzi kungase kudale umthwalo omningi ekuqaleni. Hamba ekhalendeni lakho futhi uthole imisebenzi enobuncane bokufaka kwakho okudingekayo, njengokuhlanza, ukupheka noma ukuthenga.
Qonda Isigqi Sakho Se-Circadian : Amaleveli akho wamandla ashintshashintsha usuku lonke. Ngokuvumelanisa imisebenzi yakho nokukhuphuka nokwehla kwakho okungokwemvelo, ungasebenza ngendlela ekhiqizayo.
Uma usubuyisele isikhathi esengeziwe, isinyathelo esilandelayo ukusisebenzisa ngokugcwele. Nansi indlela yokuphatha isikhathi sakho njengochwepheshe:
Beka kuqala ngokusebenza kahle engqondweni : Ukubhekana nohlu olungapheli lwezinto okufanele uzenze kuningi kakhulu. Funda ukukala imisebenzi ngokusekelwe ekubalulekeni nasekuphuthumeni ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi imizamo yakho ihambisana nemigomo yakho. Khumbula ukuthi u-20% wemizamo uletha u-80% wemiphumela.
Imisebenzi Efanayo Yeqembu : Ukushintsha phakathi kwemisebenzi engahlobene kumosha amandla. Esikhundleni salokho, hlanganisa imisebenzi efanayo ukuze usebenze kahle—cabanga ngayo “njengokucubungula iqoqo” usuku lwakho.
Qaphela lokho okudlayo: Namuhla, siphila sizungezwe izinto ezishukumisayo zedijithali. Ubuchopho bethu bulangazelela lokhu kugeleza okuqhubekayo kwama-endorphin futhi baqala ukuthola ukuphila kwangempela kubuthuntu uma kuqhathaniswa. Lesi simo saziwa ngokuthi ubuchopho be-popcorn.
Bhala phansi konke : Angikwazi ukugcizelela lokhu ngokwanele. Ukusula ingqondo yakho kukuvumela ukuthi ugxile ekubulaleni esikhundleni sokujaja.Ukugcina irekhodi lemisebenzi, imibono, kanye nenqubekelaphambili kuqinisekisa ukuthi akukho lutho olungena emifantwini. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iphepha noma idijithali, thola indlela ekusebenzelayo.
Ukuhlola iqiniso : Sithambekele ekucabangeni ngokweqile lokho esingakwenza phakathi nesikhathi esifushane. Qaphela ukuthi yini ongayifinyelela ngempela ukuze ugweme ukutubeka.
Ukukhiqiza akusho ukusebenza ngokungaphezi—kumayelana nokusebenzisa isikhathi namandla akho ngokuhlakanipha. Nawa amanye amathiphu asebenzayo angakusiza ukuthi wenze okwengeziwe ngaphandle kokuzizwa ukhungathekile:
Umthetho Wemizuzu emi-2: Uma okuthile kuthatha ngaphansi kwamaminithi angu-2 ukuqeda, vele ukwenze. Lo mkhuba olula ungamisa imisebenzi emincane ukuthi inqwabelane futhi idale ukucindezeleka okungadingekile.
Indlela ye-Pomodoro endala kodwa esagolide: Hlukanisa umsebenzi wakho ube amaseshini agxilile emizuzu engama-25, alandelwe amakhefu ayimizuzu emi-5. Kuyindlela enhle yokuhlala ugxilile ngaphandle kokuvutha.
Ukudla Ixoxo: Qala usuku lwakho ngokubhekana nomsebenzi onzima noma obaluleke kakhulu kuqala. Uma sekuqediwe, konke okunye kuzwakala kulula.
Amadwala Amakhulu Okokuqala: Thola imisebenzi ebaluleke kakhulu—“amadwala amakhulu”—futhi uhlele usuku lwakho ukuwazungezile. Yenza lokho kuqala, bese uphatha imisebenzi emincane. Ngithole indlela ka-Tim Ferris iwusizo kakhulu. Khetha imisebenzi engu-3-5 ebalulekile ozogxila kuyo usuku ngalunye ukuze uzizwe ulawula.
Ukuphatha isikhathi akusona isixazululo esilingana konke. Khumbula, akukhona mayelana nokugxilisa kakhulu osukwini lwakho kodwa mayelana nokwenza isikhathi sakho sibalwe. Thatha isinyathelo emuva, hlola imikhuba yakho, futhi usebenzise amasu ahambisana nawe. Usuku oluphethwe kahle alukhiqizi nje kuphela—luyanelisa.
