Bye 2020, hello 2021!


Writing in the front

Rechecking yourself every once in a while can be a grueling process. For example, when reading the articles of the past, I will be ashamed of the depth of thinking and poor writing.

On the last day of 2020, I started to recall the traces of the whole year as soon as I went out in the morning. The first thing I did when I arrived at the company was to open my summary of 2019 and see how my flag had been completed. The result can be imagined, waste again!! Looking back on 2020, one of the most common words I hear is “This year ended hastily because of the epidemic.” It is true that I did not do much this year. However, I did not do many things this year, but the importance of them. 2020 May be the most meaningful year in my graduation years, it is the most meaningful because this year may be three years after my graduation, the start of a new milestone in life, life is no longer only work, but towards a more meaningful life!!

Ha, ha, ha, put yourself first in 2020 was going to do.


According to the timeline to recall their track of the whole year ~ a complete record, to own 2020 an account!!

The aborted morning diary

This year, I began to write my morning diary for a period of time. Why DID I think of writing my morning diary? It was because I saw cao da’s article in Zhihu for the first time.


Then collected a lot of “morning diary” related information, to understand the many benefits of writing “morning diary”, there are a lot of people in the perseverance of writing a morning diary every day, feel that most of the people who insist on writing a diary are very self-discipline, in addition, during the period also read a book: “The miracle of the morning diary”, after reading more feeling eager to try, in line with their own to become “excellent” mentality began their own “morning diary” road.


I started to write my morning diary in Evernote every day for more than a month, but I still overestimated my willpower and stopped halfway. Post a simple morning journal template to commemorate this experience and hope to make it a habit for the coming year.


Practice GTD time management

“The brain is for thinking about things, not remembering what to do.” The core idea of GTD is to clear your mind and focus on the present moment. Practicing GTD time management is one of the more meaningful things this year. During this period, I studied a lot of GTD related concepts and implementation methods, and collected a lot of data:


In addition, the specific implementation method is to directly use the Mac platform OmniFocus software, which makes my time planning more clear. I first input what I want to do into the inbox, label and clean it regularly every day, and paste my OmniFocus label and project Settings:

Project design:


Label design:


Basically, when I have an idea to do something right now, if it can be done in two minutes, I’ll do it right away. If it can’t, I’ll just drop it in my OmniFocus inbox and wait for the same time to schedule it.

Practicing GTD time management has also made me more disciplined. On the work and life planning more sense of direction, trace to follow!! ! Keep up the good work and hope that 2021 will be the year you complete all the things on your schedule!! Complete 484 actions on OmniFocus!! Zha see have a silk sense of achievement!!


Build personal knowledge system

Fragmented knowledge that is not classified and archived is basically hard to internalize. This year there is no contact with too many new things on work technology, it is for a year in checking in the past couple of years in the work, and work to learn knowledge, total feel didn’t tidy his hard work a few years before the knowledge system, also spent more than a month of this year actually kept thinking about themselves and the industry needs to learn the knowledge system, I also collected a lot of information and put it into evernote, and labeled it and summarized it. Please post the knowledge labels you organized in Evernote, which basically cover the knowledge system you need at the moment:


In addition to building their own personal knowledge system, in line with the end of last year when writing the Flag: As the goal of “read more books and output more learning summaries”, I have made a lot of reading plans this year in my spare time. Ha ha, a plan is a plan after all, and I still haven’t finished reading all the books, but it is a good start. In 2021, I will continue to fight to finish reading all the books I haven’t finished.


Different life

Why is life different this year? Ha ha ha, actually according to my own joke, I can only be considered as “alive” until this year, because before this year, my life was only work, working time occupies almost 70% of all time, or even more, but this year, I am single! Take off a single! Take off a single! Important things say three times!! Now I can’t help but show some photos from 100 days ago:


In this regard, I have fulfilled my goal for 2019: “Have you”. Yes, there will be you! Found to take off the list after, is completely changed a way of life, from spent time on the job to want model into a balance life and do things to work on, true not easy ah, may also need time to weigh up on work and life do more thinking about it and explore both the new way of life, I have much higher requirements on my time management and self-discipline, which is a new challenge for myself. I used to feel that I did well in my work, but now I have to take into account my life. When time is not absolutely sufficient, sometimes my work will be affected. In 2021, I hope I can be more disciplined in time management, be an interesting person in life, and do a good job at work!

Things to do

I feel that since I stepped into the society, EVERY year I have something special I want to do, every year I have different feelings, and every year I have new goals waiting for me. 2021 is also a year with many flags:

  • Hava a Home
  • Try to practice time management and be self-disciplined while keeping your life in balance
  • Continue the habit of keeping a morning journal
  • Review all contents under personal knowledge system
  • I have to keep reading
