Managing Oneself "My Takeaway"

 



The book "Managing Oneself" by Peter F. Drucker is organized into several practical sections, including:

  1. Knowing Oneself: This section emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Drucker suggests that individuals can use feedback analysis and other tools to gain insight into their own performance and to identify areas for improvement.
  2. Building on Strengths: In this section, Drucker encourages readers to focus on their strengths rather than trying to fix their weaknesses. He suggests that individuals should seek out opportunities to work in areas that leverage their strengths and should also be willing to take on new challenges and learn new skills that complement their strengths.
  3. Managing Relationships: This section provides practical advice on how to work effectively with others. Drucker suggests that individuals should understand their own preferred working style and learning style and should also be willing to adapt to the working styles and preferences of others.
  4. Managing Time: In this section, Drucker emphasizes the importance of setting priorities and managing one's time effectively. He suggests that individuals should be clear about their goals and should develop a plan for achieving them.
  5. Taking Responsibility for Relationships: This section focuses on how to build and maintain effective relationships with others. Drucker suggests that individuals should take responsibility for building and maintaining relationships and should also be willing to apologize and make amends when necessary.
  6. Focusing on Contribution: In this section, Drucker emphasizes the importance of focusing on the contributions that one can make to the organization or society, rather than focusing solely on personal success or achievement.

Overall, "Managing Oneself" provides practical advice on how to understand and manage oneself effectively, and how to take responsibility for personal and professional growth. The book emphasizes the importance of focusing on one's strengths, building effective relationships with others, managing time and priorities, and focusing on contributions to the organization and society.

Also translating a big-picture problem or goal (" Get ready to file taxes") into its smaller tasks ("find my W-2 and Get recommendations for which tax software to use") is another executive function making a to-do list creates mental space for doing other tasks, not just remembering the various thinks you have to do. plus using a to-do list can make your feel good . one study showed that you get a little dopamine rush every time you cross a task off your to-do list ( dopamine makes you feel good, elevating your mode ).

We don't like feeling alone, and our bodies and brains actually function better when we are surrounded by others. If you google about "Why humans are necessary for other human?"

Now we need to find out to who ...
