7. Do things in a planned and step-by-step manner

There is no plan to do things, people who have a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, there is no order and steps in life, and such speed can only be called recklessness - the faster the more chaotic.

Henry Linhty, the founder of urban services companies all over the United States, once said that there are two kinds of human abilities that are priceless and hard to find—

- The first is the ability to think, and the second is the ability to prioritize things and handle them appropriately.

It can be seen that it is very important to prioritize and plan and do things step by step to solve problems quickly.

After 12 years of hard work, self-made Charlie Ruckerman was promoted to the position of president of Paiso, with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and millions of other incomes. He attributes his success to two abilities that Ringherty talked about. "As far as I can remember, I wake up at 5 a.m. every morning because that's when I'm thinking best," says Ruckerman. I plan what I'm going to do that day and prioritize it. "Frank Bettger, one of the nation's most successful insurance salesmen, arranged what he was going to do that day before five o'clock every morning—prepared the night before—and he set the amount of insurance to be insured for each day, and if it was not completed, he added it to the next day's amount, and then calculated accordingly.

Can you believe it? No one can always do things according to their importance. But it's better to do things step by step than to do whatever comes to mind.

Had George Bernard Shaw not set a strict plan for himself to write five pages a day, he might have been a bank teller forever. He spent 9 years of heartbreaking days, and only earned a total of 30 yuan in manuscript fees in 9 years, an average of one penny per day! Since he has always regarded writing as his main thing, he has finally become a world-famous writer. Even Robinson, who drifted to a desert island, did not forget to set a schedule every day!

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has formulated a five-year plan and acted step by step in accordance with the plan, so that China's economy can develop steadily step by step, the people's living standards will gradually improve, and the overall national strength will gradually increase.

This is not only the case in China, but also in Japan, Sweden and other countries in accordance with certain procedures, in a planned and step-by-step manner.

A US Secretary of Commerce once pointed out with a bitter face that whenever he proposed to the Japanese prime minister to change Japan's policy, he never received the expected affirmative reply. The Japanese prime minister always replied that the idea sounds interesting, and you should promote your proposal to the four cabinet officials who are mainly responsible for economic affairs. Therefore, it has been argued that it cannot be said entirely that the Japanese are going around in circles by doing so, but this shows that this kind of procedure of the Japanese can be said to be an inherent and almost insurmountable mechanism.

Switzerland's household garbage has been strictly classified, and the book "Switzerland" written by Mr. Li Nianpei specifically lists seven categories: ordinary household garbage, old books and newspapers, waste cooking oil, waste engine oil, glass, old dry batteries, old plastics, and an ellipsis is added at the end, and there must be a lot. In addition to strict classification, the processing methods are also different, some are placed at a designated place nearby on time every day, some are placed at a designated place nearby at a fixed time every month, and some have to trouble you to personally send it to a designated place that is far away. There are also some details, such as glass bottles should be put into the designated recycling machine opening according to white, brown and miscellaneous categories, and so on.

This is a bit troublesome for a family, but in fact it is also a gesture, and for the whole society, it is much more convenient and less invested for environmental protection and resource conservation. There are so many things like that, so there are so many rules in Switzerland, but not many people think it's hard to do there. This small country of only 7 million people is home to nearly 250 United Nations specialized agencies, governmental and non-governmental agencies, second only to New York in the United States. It can be seen that those things that seem esoteric, obscure, trivial, and rigid, such as science and technology, laws and regulations, rules and regulations, theoretical doctrines, rules and conventions, etc., are instead the "magic weapons" for doing things.

Having a plan and a step-by-step approach may seem like a waste of time, but it's the opposite, such as driving on the road, if everyone follows the rules, it may seem slow but more efficient. Some people think that they should hurry up, so they rush to the road and go to the plug, but what is the result? Traffic. The same is true for individuals, doing things step by step is definitely much faster than grabbing an eyebrow and mustache.
