Zuckerberg's Time Management Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and the world's youngest self-made billionaire, personally created these 26 slides to improve his employees' work efficiency. Hope these 26 slides from inside Facebook can help you quickly improve your work state!

  1. Time is always there; it's about priorities. (Stop daydreaming, okay...)
  2. Every day is filled: only plan 4-5 hours of real work per day. (There are just so many trivial matters every day...)
  3. When you're in the zone, do more; otherwise, rest well: sometimes you're not in work mode for days, and sometimes you can work 12 hours a day when you are. That's normal. (Working for an ordinary boss, this won't fly; flexible working hours = unpaid overtime)
  4. Value your time and make it worth $1000/hour. (Wow, $1000 an hour, please take me in, big shot!)
  5. Don't multitask; it only consumes attention. Stay focused, one thing at a time. (Multitasking is inefficient; completing goals one by one is more efficient)
  6. Develop work habits and stick to them; your body will adapt. (Actually, it's not the body, it's the mind...)
  7. Time-limited work is always more focused and effective. (For procrastinators, set deadlines earlier!)
  8. Cars need to warm up; people need to start with small tasks to get into work mode. (Don't keep doing trivial things and avoid difficult problems; then you'll only be warming up forever - -)
  9. "Done is better than perfect." Start doing, rather than pursuing perfection. (Just do it)
  10. Working longer hours doesn't equal higher efficiency. (Knowing this doesn't mean agreeing with it...)
  11. Work by importance to improve efficiency. (Separate thinking from doing)
  12. Schedule meetings as early as possible; time spent preparing for meetings is often wasted. (Don't hold meaningless meetings)
  13. Combine meetings with communication (email or phone) for collaborative work: a small meeting can ruin an afternoon because it splits the afternoon into two small segments. (When you see a programmer deep in thought, don't disturb them; even a greeting is unnecessary.)
  14. Maintain continuous work. Switching between projects/clients reduces efficiency. (Stay focused; this is harder for those with many tasks)
  15. Work—rest—work = high efficiency (Pomodoro Technique) The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in 1992 as a more micro time management method compared to GTD. Using the Pomodoro Technique, choose a task to complete, set the Pomodoro time to 25 minutes, focus on work, and don't allow any unrelated activities until the Pomodoro rings, then draw an X on paper and take a short break (5 minutes). After every 4 Pomodoros, take a longer break. (Probably not suitable for our national conditions...)
  16. Break unrealistic tasks into reasonable small tasks. As long as you complete small tasks every day, you'll get closer to the big goal. (Break down tasks and continuously complete short-term small goals to get more positive reinforcement)
  17. No two tasks have the same priority; there's always one more important. Carefully consider the to-do list. (Spending a few minutes thinking about priorities is much better than doing things randomly)
  18. Do the most impactful thing first. (Basically the same as above...)
  19. Segment tasks by time; it feels like you can finish quickly. (Break down task time)
  20. Delegate and leverage others' strengths. — A gentleman uses things (people) well. If someone else can do something 80% as well, give it to them! (How did Zhuge Liang die from overwork? He did everything himself. You need to cultivate the team and trust them.)
  21. Turn over yesterday; only consider today and tomorrow. A good man doesn't boast about past glory. (Live in the present)
  22. Set a deadline for everything. Don't let work go on indefinitely. (Deadline!)
  23. For time-sensitive or stressful tasks, set an end time. (Work faster, do your best, and things will get done)
  24. Take more notes, write things down. (Writing down is a good habit)
  25. Once in a high-efficiency state, jot down anything that distracts you, like Google search terms, sudden ideas, new inspirations, etc. (Getting into the zone is important; maintaining it brings continuous inspiration.)
  26. Take a break~ (I want a vacation too!) To summarize briefly: set clear small goals, take small steps quickly, balance work and rest, and work efficiently. This work style suits those who need self-discipline and self-motivation. -END-
