Specific behavior of investment
I set up a series of folders on Omnifocus, which contain all aspects of investment "action". If the subject has the conditions, you can try this software, which is quite easy to use. It can clear your mind and help you do complex things in an orderly way.
I mainly invest in the following aspects:
health
Health is the capital of revolution. Without a strong body, it is useless to say anything.
The following are my specific actions:
physical examination
I have a routine physical examination every quarter and a comprehensive physical examination every year according to my physical reaction. It takes a certain amount of money and time.
Daily health care
I will do some targeted maintenance for my physical condition. For example, I have mild chronic gastritis, so I usually drink some tea to strengthen my stomach. If you have pharyngitis, it usually contains some buccal tablets or something. It needs a little money.
sleep
Why talk about sleep alone? Because sleep is really important. This will also be mentioned in the later energy management. In order to have a good sleep, I bought the best quality bedding I could afford, and it turned out to be well spent!
sports
A good sleep is not enough, but also a combination of motion and static. Personally, I feel that more exercise at ordinary times is conducive to the exercise of brain thinking and the improvement of energy level. The investment in sports is mainly running shoes and sportswear. I bought all kinds of clothes from ASCIS KAYANO20 and nike running series. It's a little expensive, but because I insist on running, I think it's money well spent!
Oral hygiene
On the road of oral care, we must plan ahead. Don't wait until the symptoms appear. Besides basic daily brushing and gargling, it is best to learn to floss. If you feel that your oral condition is not good, go to the stomatology department regularly for examination and treatment. It won't be expensive to go to a regular hospital for oral examination, but don't delay.
domestic
I am a family-oriented person, so I put it in the second place. I think the investment in parents can be divided into two aspects.
Spiritual aspect
In fact, parents really need the company of their children. I went to college in other places, but if I have time during the semester, I will try my best to find time to go home and spend time with my parents. When my parents call me, no matter what they say, I try my best to listen patiently. Sometimes they nag and say things that young people think are trivial and useless. But my impatience will hurt them, so as long as there is nothing particularly urgent at hand, I will listen to them patiently. The investment in this area is mainly time.
Material aspect
I am just a student at school, and my income is nothing more than their living expenses and some income from my part-time job after school. But I can still spare some money to buy them some small things. In fact, there is a special answer in Zhihu, and the subject can refer to it. Recently, I plan to save money to buy them an ipad, so that they can also experience high technology, enrich their entertainment life and make video calls with me convenient. Actually, it doesn't have to be expensive to send something to your parents. They will be very happy with this intention. The investment in this area is mainly your money and energy in choosing gifts. Don't be stingy! Because if you don't spend it now, you will probably regret it later.
Personal network
In fact, I don't like the word contacts, and I always feel that this word is very utilitarian. But I can't find a better word to replace it, so I'll use it for the time being. I think making friends extensively and sincerely is helpful for my own development. I make friends mainly by personality and three views. If the character is not good, those who disagree will be exempted, wasting each other's time and energy. There are two projects in my contact folder in Omnifocus, one is maintenance and the other is development. Let me give you a brief introduction:
maintain
Maintenance, as the name implies, is to maintain the existing relationship. Because of the limited time and energy, I will only take time out to communicate with several "gay friends" entertainments. The words of ordinary friends are not written on the agenda, but it doesn't mean that I don't value the relationship with ordinary friends. Usually we can eat together, have fun together and play together, but there is no deliberate arrangement.
developing
Young people will never be satisfied and will never be confined to their own circles. Therefore, it is still very useful to develop your own contacts. If you want to explore, you must first get out of your own small circle. In fact, opportunities to meet new friends are everywhere. The key depends on whether your attitude is sincere, whether your communication skills are appropriate, and whether you are valuable (thought \ material).
Both maintenance and development require a certain amount of time, energy and money. However, investing in contacts can make your road go smoothly. There is also a suggestion for the subject: don't be too snobbish about investing in people, and don't "follow the trend". Everyone should be treated equally and sincerely, and you will eventually find that they will be gradually connected to form a system like those points mentioned by Jobs. I also want to remind you that everyone is not perfect. Although there is no need to be picky when making friends, you must stay away from "little people" and don't waste any time and energy on them, which is worthless at all.
love
Don't take love for granted. Whether you get love or maintain love, you need to pay. The investment in love may make you gain a lifelong partner, and the investment in love is also a valuable experience, which can make you grow. I have no girlfriend now. Love is history to me. In order to keep the answer complete, I'd better write this part.
The demand of the other party
I am good at solving problems. Once the other party has something, I will take the other party's business to heart. So in each other's eyes, I have always been a very reliable person. Because I can fix everything. But it really takes time and energy, but what does it matter if you pay more for the right person?
Without losing romance
If young people lose romance, it really means losing a lot. Take her to a restaurant with a better atmosphere, watch movies from time to time, go to places with beautiful scenery, surprise her on special days and so on. This is really the privilege of young people. Don't be stingy with money, time and energy, and experience the beauty of love.
* * * Grow together
This is a supplement to the second point. People in love are usually irrational, so romance is good, but it needs moderation. You have to understand that you are looking for someone who can make you grow up, not someone who can only be close to you. If used properly, love can be the best motivation for dreams. So don't forget to find out what you can pursue together, work hard together and grow together!
picture
Although many things about appearance are given by parents and cannot be changed, what you can improve is to try to improve. Keeping the image clean and decent is also a kind of respect for yourself and others. I have made improvements in the following aspects:
skin care
I like playing in the hot sun since I was a child, so my skin color is darker. I regret it now and am trying to improve it. Regular care of cleansing, toning and moisturizing every morning and evening, and facial mask once a week to improve skin quality. More than half a year has passed, and there are still some results. The return on investment in this area will not be immediate, and you must stick to it to see the effect.
clothes
I have been groping for a long time from wearing sportswear to now slowly moving towards leisure style, from wearing loose clothes to being neat and capable. In fact, you need to pay a lot to do this work well. You can weigh the pros and cons. After all, buying high-quality clothes and shoes means a lot of money, shopping means a lot of time, and studying collocation and change will consume you a lot of energy. But at the very least, clothes should be clean and tidy.
height
I am not tall, so I need to work hard on my height. Usually spend some money to buy calcium tablets and protein powder, and take time to do stretching or something. This kind of investment only works when you are young, and it is difficult to grow taller when you are old. I regret that I didn't realize this until I went to college, so I can only try my best to make up for it.
body type
I am so thin that I can't get fat no matter how much I eat. So I did a little research on fitness. Because of personal reasons, the fitness plan can't be carried out in the near future, but let's improve this part. Because I didn't have the conditions to go to the gym, I chose fitness without equipment. This requires a yoga mat, a pair of dumbbells and a horizontal bar next to the school playground. The usual nutrition also needs to be strengthened. Because it has not been realized, I don't know the specific experience. I recommend the book "Fitness without Equipment" and the software imuscle.
read
It is difficult to describe the importance of reading to me in words. In my opinion, the days without reading are unbelievable. Because in the process of reading, you will find how ignorant you are. You will find that with the accumulation of reading, you will have a brand-new understanding of many things. I don't need to repeat the benefits of reading. The content of reading varies from person to person. What I want to tell you is to keep reading every day! No matter whether you have time or not, you should stick to it every day, even if you can only read one page. Over time, you will find that you can't live without reading. Well, congratulations, you have formed a good habit of lifelong benefit.
I basically read e-books on iPad or Mac, so the cost of paper books is almost zero. The main input is the time of reading and the energy needed for thinking when reading.
Professional accumulation
In fact, several common aspects are written. The latter two aspects are more personalized, so let's write them briefly. My major is management. My investment in professional accumulation is mainly in the following two aspects:
Business-Enterprise-Entrepreneurship
I usually pay attention to these three aspects, the main channels are books and magazines, online forums, and exchanges with seniors or work friends. After all, this is closely related to your career. It is always good to make some preparations early. Investment in this area is mainly time, so we must keep pace with the times, especially in the information age. An outdated message can make you suffer a lot.
mobile Internet
This is related to my major. After experiencing many excellent applications on the Appstore, I began to feel that this industry has unlimited potential, so I also made some efforts in this regard. Now I am teaching myself how to develop IOS applications. Hope like-minded friends can contact me.
implement of production
Investing in production tools can gain more benefits while paying the same time and energy. I think it is worth investing in:
Apple three-piece suit and paid application in applestore
I personally use 5S, iPadAir and MBA. The combination of the three is the best. If you want to buy it separately, it is recommended to buy a MAC first. They can make a qualitative leap in your work quality and efficiency. Apple is an inspiring company. Many designs of its products are very unique. Of course, there is no need to buy Apple products, but spending more money on these products can greatly improve your efficiency.
A set of high-quality writing tools
This is also recommended in Zhihu. Lamy and pilot G-2 are highly recommended. Because I am a student, I usually need to write in many places. After a little effort in stationery, the comfort of writing has improved a lot. I think the money is well spent.
Primitive capital accumulation
money
My income mainly comes from my parents' monthly living expenses of 1000 yuan and my extra-curricular part-time income. Part-time jobs after class vary from person to person. After all, the economic foundation determines the superstructure. If I don't have some income, I won't have so much budget to invest. What I want to tell the subject is that when you start making money, don't think about making big money. Money is always increasing. Step by step, but also know how to be witty and flexible.
time
This involves the content of time management. I don't want to elaborate here. I think the key point of time management is time planning. Sometimes you may not follow the plan, but having a plan in advance will keep you in order. Recommend several books: Make Friends with Time, Dark Time and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
vitality
This is the content of energy management. Again, I won't elaborate, because this answer is long enough. You can communicate privately if you have any questions. The core points of energy management are regular healthy diet, regular high-quality sleep, regular moderate exercise and moderate desire. In this regard, there are many wonderful answers in Zhihu, and the subject can learn from them. As long as you jump out of the original vicious circle and get into the habit slowly, you will find that your energy level can be upgraded to a higher level.
I hope I can help you! Thank you for your adoption!
