《什麼時候是好時候》

        家裡離公司有段距離,因此我在搭乘捷運的路上看書與聽彭蒙惠英語。自從二月以來,已經讀完七本中文書了。之後每讀完一本書,我都會在這裡簡短分享一下,我不會講得很仔細,因為我希望當你看完我的簡介後,若是覺得有趣,你能買回家看,就像我一年都會花約5000元以上甚至萬元買書一樣。讀書就跟在作者聊天一樣。接觸世界名人(無論他是哪個時代的人)的好方法就是,買他的書來看!上次提過《深度學習的技術》,今天則是要說《什麼時候是好時候》(The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing)。
        我知道坊間有很多時間管理的書籍,但這本書並不是要教你如何節省時間之類的時間管理,那種書真的多到我沒有興趣看。書中舉出許多研究的證據,來說明時間對於事件的影響,不同時間點,該做的事情不同。不用改變做事方式,而是要在合適的時間做合適的事。
        內容一開始說每個人的作息時間不同,因此要找出自己做事最高效率的時刻,有的人是白天,有的人是下午,有的人是晚上,單純在合適的時間做事,效能就會增加很多。接著是每個期間的開始、中間點、結束,其實都有著固定的影響。一到專案執行期間的中點,人們會開始意志消沉,團隊把專案拖到過中點之後再開始加快腳步,效率加倍,是常見的事情!有趣的是,時間同步也讓人有隸屬於一個團體的感覺進而增加彼此的合作,最有名的例子就是孟買的達巴瓦拉(dabbawala)。在沒有現今科技的幫助下,光靠每人時間同步,就能把便當在精確的時間從鄉村送到都市。
        另一個讓我印象深刻的是每個人在一生中使用時間的對象,會很接近。年幼時大多數的時間會與家人相處,在青年與中年時期,則是與家人以外的人相處佔大多數的時間,到老年時又會回歸家庭,與家人相處時間佔大多數。

這本書真的是滿有趣的書籍,滿推薦大家買來看看。

There is a distance from my home to the company, so I read books and listen to “Advanced English in the studio classroom”  when taking MRT. I have read seven books since Feb. Once I finish reading a book, I shared this book here. I would not describe the content so detail that you fully understand the idea introduced in this book. I hope you can buy this book after reading my article if you find it fascinating. It costs me 5,000, even 10,000 NT dollars to buy books in a year. Reading books is like chatting with the author, no matter he is from what age. An excellent way to touch with these great men is by understanding their books. I introduced “Deeper Learning: How to Learn Faster, Smarter, and Better” last time. I want to present “The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing” today.
There are lots of books talking about time management in the market. However, this book is different. This book mentions many studies to illustrate the impact of doing things at the right time. You do not change how you do something but do the right things at the right time. Every person has his/her own efficient time to do things. Someone is in the morning, and someone is in the afternoon, the others may work efficiently at midnight! Do things in a suitable time, and the efficiency increases lots.
In the start, the middle and end of the duration, have their effect. In the middle duration, it is common for a team to be slack at work. When closing to the end duration, a group raises the efficiency to finish a task.
Time synchronization gives people a sense of belonging to a group and enhance cooperation. The most famous example is Dabbawala in Mumbai. Without the help of today’s technology, they send the lunchbox from the village to the city by precise time.
This book is quite exciting, and I think you will have a good time reading it. Enjoy it!
