Are you "busy" or just "looking like busy"?

Back then, I thought I had "no time."

But really, just busy with Q1 Q3 Q4 all day. 😅

Reply to chat ✔️

Solve the job now. ✔️

Mobile plow ✔️

But things that really change lives, like, increase skills.

Take care of yourself. The cost plan is postponed.

When it started to refocus, Q2 really spent its energy on focusing on its goals, life became quieter, more targeted, and less tired. ✨

Expand

❤️ Q1 = Express + Important

🌱 Q2 = Important + Not Quick

⚠️ Q3 = Express + Doesn't Matter

💤 Q4 = Not Quick + Doesn't Matter

* * Franklin Cowey's Matrix Time Table

The easiest way to start focusing Q2

- Pick Q2, just "one thing."

- Lock the time. Identify the time to do it.

- Do small but continuous (simple, not forced)

Today, try asking yourself,

"How many minutes have we spent with Q2?"

P.S. We read THE 5 CHOICES Techniques of Time Management for the 21st Decade, so share it as a picture to visualize it. It's easy to read. I hope it's helpful.

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน หลายคนมักจะรู้สึกว่ายุ่งมากๆ ทั้งวันแต่กลับสงสัยว่า "ยุ่งจริงหรือแค่ดูเหมือนยุ่ง?" สิ่งที่ผมได้เรียนรู้คือ เรามักถูกดึงดูดไปกับกิจกรรมที่ด่วนแต่ไม่สำคัญ หรือ Q3 และ Q4 เช่น การตอบแชทด่วน หรือแก้ไขงานด่วนที่ไม่ส่งผลต่อเป้าหมายจริงๆ เช่นนี้จะทำให้พลังงานถูกกระจายไปกับเรื่องที่ไม่ได้สร้างคุณค่าในชีวิต สิ่งสำคัญคือการรู้จักโฟกัสที่ Q2 ซึ่งหมายถึงกิจกรรมสำคัญแต่ไม่เร่งด่วน เช่น การพัฒนาทักษะ ดูแลสุขภาพ วางแผนการเงิน หรือสร้างเป้าหมายชีวิต ซึ่งเป็นกิจกรรมที่ช่วยเพิ่มคุณภาพและความมั่นคงในระยะยาว การเริ่มต้นโฟกัสที่ Q2 อาจทำได้โดยเลือกทำเพียงหนึ่งอย่างในแต่ละวัน ล็อกเวลาช่วงเวลาที่จะทำ และทำด้วยความสม่ำเสมอ แม้เพียงเล็กน้อย แต่ต่อเนื่อง เช่น ลุกขึ้นมาเดินออกกำลังกาย 10 นาที อ่านหนังสือเกี่ยวกับทักษะใหม่ๆ หรือจัดสรรงบประมาณในการใช้จ่ายแต่ละเดือน จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว เมื่อผมเริ่มแยกงานและกิจกรรมต่างๆ ออกจากกันอย่างชัดเจนตาม Time Matrix ของแฟรงคลินโควี่ย์ ทำให้รู้ว่าแค่ลดเวลาใน Q3-Q4 ก็ช่วยให้เวลามากขึ้นสำหรับ Q2 และชีวิตโดยรวมมีความสมดุล มีเป้าหมายชัดเจนและเหนื่อยน้อยลงอย่างเห็นได้ชัด สิ่งที่สำคัญคือต้องตั้งคำถามกับตัวเองเป็นประจำว่า "เราใช้เวลากับสิ่งสำคัญอย่าง Q2 ไปแล้วกี่นาทีวันนี้?" เพื่อให้ตระหนักและกำหนดทิศทางในการใช้เวลาอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น สุดท้าย การบริหารเวลาที่ดีไม่ใช่แค่การทำงานมากขึ้น แต่คือการทำงานในสิ่งที่สร้างผลลัพธ์และความก้าวหน้าในชีวิต ด้วยการจัดลำดับความสำคัญและรู้จักปฏิเสธกิจกรรมที่ไม่จำเป็นอย่างมีสติ

Learn even if you are busy
Language learning is objectively a task that requires time and effort – and some just have less time than others throughout their busy schedule. However, if you are on the go almost every day of the week but you still want to commit to learning a new language, that is already impressive in itself!
