Top 10 Habits of Self Management, Take a Look When Confused!

Update：3/16/2025 2:30:37 PM

The biggest enemy of a person is often oneself.

I didn't quite understand this sentence when I was young, but after working for several years, I gradually realized its deeper meaning.

What a person ultimately becomes depends largely on their own actions, whether they are mediocre or successful, it all depends on what they do when they are lost.

Many people say that I don't know what to do or how to do it.

So, I suggest you start by being good at yourself, managing yourself well, and developing these ten habits of self-management.

01 

Handle emotions first, then deal with things

Napoleon said that a person who can control their emotions is greater than a general who can take down a city.

Dealing with emotions first, then dealing with things. What people do when they lose control of their emotions often leads to regret in the end.

When encountering unhappy situations at work, do not complain to colleagues. This not only fails to solve the problem, but also causes more trouble; Never confront your leader face-to-face, as the outcome often makes you more miserable.

I'm not asking you to be submissive and have no temper, but to be able to weigh the pros and cons and not magnify the already bad things infinitely, so big that you can't bear it and regret it endlessly.

90% of the misfortunes in life are due to your inability to control your emotions well, both in work and in life.

 02 

Manage your time well and don't waste it recklessly

Liang Shiqiu said that no one cherishes their life, but few cherish their time.

The gap between people is largely determined by how they use their time.

Excellent people always invest in themselves, risking their lives to accumulate; And those mediocre people often use it for eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying life.

Please always remember that the days of youth are not long. The day you wasted is lost forever and will never come back.

Suggestion: Uninstall applications that may waste your time, such as games; Everything should be done ten minutes in advance, don't be a 'scout' or a 'just right lady'.

 03 

Adjust your mindset and always hold hope in your heart

When a person is in a low point, it is often accompanied by anxiety and despair. I have experienced this feeling before, and I believe it will happen again in the future.

Because life is never a straight line, with ups and downs and many disappointments.

The mystery of life lies in the fact that the more desperate you are, the more it bullies you; The more optimistic you are, the more it treats you well!

We always say that attitude can determine the success or failure of something, and that's because if you give up, it's really over.

I really like a quote from Oscar Wilde: Even in a sewer, there are still people looking up at the stars.

04 

Keep your mouth shut and speak well

Luo Zhenyu said that in the workplace or contemporary society, the most important ability is the ability to express oneself!

As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, and misfortune comes from the mouth. The first impression a person gives to others often starts from the moment they speak. Some people's words make people feel like they are in the spring breeze, while others make people feel blocked and unhappy as soon as they speak.

Those who can speak often have a better life.

Suggestion: Keep your mouth shut, speak less and listen more; Before speaking, brainstorm and consider others' feelings from their perspective.

05 

Don't procrastinate: Today's task, completed today

Many people are accustomed to postponing today's tasks until tomorrow, feeling anxious about their current difficulties but unable to take action.

Your arrears today will become future debts, and the things you delay often end up unresolved in the end.

Suggestion: Make a list of important to-do items for the day every morning, not to strive for them, but to make sure to accomplish today's tasks and finish them today.

If one day you stop procrastinating, confusion will also leave you.

06 

Investment ability, maintaining competitiveness

In this era, if you want to get out of confusion, you can only rely on talent and ability, which is also the most reliable key to breaking the deadlock.

It's time to step out of your comfort zone, invest in your abilities, recharge your learning, and maintain sufficient competitiveness.

Someone asked, 'I'm just confused and don't know what to learn.'?

What do you need to learn? If you can't speak, go learn to speak; If your English is not good, go learn English; If the work is not done well and the efficiency is not high, then go improve your work skills and find efficient methods

When you are outstanding enough, the road ahead of you will become wider and wider.

07 

Invest in the body and persist in exercise

As we grow older, we increasingly understand the importance of health. I have always encouraged everyone to work hard, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to our health.

Exchanging health for wealth is a very unprofitable deal in the long run, as your hard-earned savings from years of hard work may be lost overnight to the hospital.

If you can't earn money temporarily, then I hope you can at least have a good body.

Striving hard and investing in your body are not actually in conflict, it's just that you don't know how to balance and arrange.

I suggest you set aside one hour of exercise every day and avoid staying up late!

08 

List goals and become a clear person

I have found that many excellent people are very knowledgeable, they know what they need and why they are doing it.

A friend gave up the superior treatment of a large company and turned to a small company with an average salary, because he knew what he needed at the current stage. What he wanted was a rapidly improving work ability, and there were more opportunities in the small company.

I hope you can make a list of your goals on a sleepless night, breaking down big goals into smaller ones.

Running with a clear direction is often more efficient and meaningful.

09 

Wealth management, don't waste money

When you are poor, you need to manage your wealth well. Every penny must be calculated and spent wisely, not wasting it.

When you have a certain economic foundation, you also need to do a good job in wealth management, using money to make yourself more valuable, such as renting a house closer to the company; Register for an English tutoring class; Buy yourself two sets of clothes that can be used for socializing; Buy some gifts for your loved ones and parents

When your economy is relatively affluent, it is also necessary to manage your wealth well and not let money lie there and lose its value.

The more people are able to utilize their wealth, the faster they tend to rise!

Finally, I suggest that you set aside one hour every day to read a book.

I know many people don't like reading books and can't read them, but I still have to tell you: people who read books and those who don't read books are always two different levels.

This has nothing to do with success, but with temperament, speech, cultivation, knowledge, and state of mind. Perhaps you have read books all your life and haven't earned much money, but your heart will be very rich and abundant.

Measuring success is not just about money and power, it should also have a soul.

In the end of life, you may not be as successful, but you should be someone who knows how to work hard, has a rich heart, and is happy.

These ten habits of self-management determine what a person's life will ultimately be like
