时间管理的十一条金律

金律一:要和你的价值观相吻合

　　你一定要确立个人的价值观，假如价值观不明确，你就很难知道什么对你最重要，当你价值观不明确，时间分配一定不好。时间管理的重点不在于管理时间，而在于如何分配时间。你永远没有时间做每件事，但你永远有时间做对你来说最重要的事。

金律二:设立明确的目标

　　成功等于目标，时间管理的目的是让你在最短时间内实现更多你想要实现的目标;你必须把今年度4到10个目标写出来，找出一个核心目标，并依次排列重要性，然后依照你的目标设定一些详细的计划，你的关键就是依照计划进行。

金律三:改变你的想法

　　美国心理学之父威廉·詹姆士对时间行为学的研究发现这样两种对待时间的态度:“这件工作必须完成它实在讨厌，所以我能拖便尽量拖”和“这不是件令人愉快的工作，但它必须完成，所以我得马上动手，好让自己能早些摆脱它”。当你有了动机，迅速踏出第一步是很重要的。不要想立刻推翻自己的整个习惯，只需强迫自己现在就去做你所拖延的某件事。然后，从明早开始，每天都从你的list中选出最不想做的事情先做。

金律四:遵循20比80定律.

　　生活中肯定会有一些突发和迫不及待要解决的问题，如果你发现自己天天都在处理这些事情，那表示你的时间管理并不理想。成功者花最多时间在做最重要的事，而不是最紧急的事情上，然而一般人都是做紧急但不重要的事。

金律五:安排“不被干扰”时间

　　每天至少要有半小时到一小时的“不被干扰”时间。假如你能有一个小时完全不受任何人干扰，把自己关在自己的空间里面思考或者工作，这一个小时可以抵过你一天的工作效率，甚至有时侯这一小时比你3天工作的效率还要好。

金律六:严格规定完成期限

　　帕金森(c-NoarthcoteParkinson)在其所著的《帕金森法则》(Parkinsons Law)中，写下这段话:“你有多少时间完成工作,工作就会自动变成需要那么多时间。”如果你有一整天的时间可以做某项工作，你就会花一天的时间去做它。而如果你只有一小时的时间可以做这项工作，你就会更迅速有效地在一小时内做完它。

金律七:做好时间日志

　　你花了多少时间在做哪些事情，把它详细地记录下来，早上出门(包括洗漱、换衣、早餐等)花了多少时间，搭车花了多少时间，出去拜访客户花了多少时间……把每天花的时间一一记录下来，你会清晰地发现浪费了哪些时间。这和记账是一个道理。当你找到浪费时间的根源，你才有办法改变。

金律八:理解时间大于金钱

　　用你的金钱去换取别人的成功经验，一定要抓住一切机会向顶尖人士学习。仔细选择你接触的对象，因为这会节省你很多时间。假设与一个成功者在一起，他花了40年时间成功，你跟10个这样的人交往，你不是就浓缩了400年的经验?

金律九:学会列清单

　　把自己要做的每一件事情都写下来，这样做首先能让你随时都明确自己手头上的任务。不要轻信自己可以用脑子把每件事情都记住，而当你看到自己长长的list时，也会产生紧迫感。

金律十:同一类的事情最好一次把它做完

　　假如你在做纸上作业，那段时间都做纸上作业;假如你是在思考，用一段时间只作思考;打电话的话，最好把电话累积到某一时间一次把它打完。当你重复做一件事情时，你会熟能生巧，效率一定会提高。

金律十一:每1分钟每1秒做最有效率的事情

　　你必须思考一下要做好一份工作，到底哪几件事情是对你最有效率的，列下来，分配时间把它做好。(始终直瞄靶心一绩效(司晋升)

What is the 'Rule of 72'?

The 'Rule of 72' is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, investors can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take for the initial investment to duplicate itself.

Step 1: How long does it take my money to double?

Divide the number 72 by the percentage rate you are paying on your debt, or earning on your investment. Here are two examples...

You borrowed $1,000 from your friend, who is charging you 6% interest. 72 divided by 6 is 12. That makes 12 the number of years it would take for your debt to your friend to double to $2,000 if you did not make any payments.

You have a savings account with $500 deposited in it. It earns 4% interest from the bank. 72 divided by 4 is 18. It will take 18 years for your $500 to double to $1,000 if you don't make any deposits.

Remember: 72 divided by the Interest Percentage is the number of years it takes to double.

Step 2: How many times will my money double?

This step teaches you how important it is for your money to double as many times as possible, and for your debts to double as few times as possible.

Determine how many years you will keep your investment before cashing it in. Divide that by the number of years it will take to double each time, the number you figured out in step one.

Now look at what happens to your money each time it doubles...

$1 ... $2 ... $4 ... $8 ... $16 ... $32 ... $64 ... $128 ...

You can see that it makes a big difference how many times your money doubles. If you can make it double only a few more times by making just slightly better investments, you can end up with many times more money at retirement, or whenever you cash in your investment.

Think about how fast your debts can double with high interest rates, such as those charged on most credit card accounts.

When dealing with low rates of return, the Rule of 72 is fairly accurate. This chart compares the numbers given by the rule of 72 and the actual number of years it takes an investment to double.

For example, the rule of 72 states that $1 invested at 10% would take 7.2 years ((72/10) = 7.2) to turn into $2. In reality, a 10% investment will take 7.3 years to double ((1.10^7.3 = 2).

Notice that, although it gives a quick rough estimate, the rule of 72 gets less precise as rates of return become higher. Therefore, when dealing with higher rates, it's best to calculate the precise number of years algebraically by means of the future value formula.

Time Value of Money (TVM)

What Does Time Value of Money (TVM) Mean?

The idea that money available at the present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This core principle of finance holds that, provided money can earn interest, any amount of money is worth more the sooner it is received.

Also referred to as "present discounted value".

Investopedia Says:
Everyone knows that money deposited in a savings account will earn interest. Because of this universal fact, we would prefer to receive money today rather than the same amount in the future.

For example, assuming a 5% interest rate, RM100 invested today will be worth RM105 in one year (RM100 multiplied by 1.05). Conversely, RM100 received one year from now is only worth RM95.24 today (RM100 divided by 1.05), assuming a 5% interest rate.
