Tips on making working night shift & staying up late not so harmful

This is what I have been practising and I am going to share with you guys because I think it is very good. You can also try it if your work requires frequent night shifts or overnight shifts.

1. If you have already decided to be on duty, or work after 12 o'clock, when it is 12 o'clock, you should find a chance to sleep or take a nap. Not much, 10 minutes, just 10 minutes. It doesn't matter if you sleep or not, as long as you close your eyes and rest for 10 minutes, you will feel that you can go on again, like fast charging. Note that the time must be 12 o'clock, not 11 o'clock, not 12:30.

This is especially for useful for nurses. Each hospital department may be different, if your department is more humane, you can try leaning on the chair for 10 minutes. Don't lie down!! ! You raise your head, or move your chair to lean somewhere, and squint for 10 minutes.

2. Make up sleep after the night shift, don't fall back to sleep as soon as you go back. Don't be like this; the most tiring thing about night shifts is that when you get older, you can't make up for the night shift, even resting for a few days. This kind of sleeping method of falling asleep does not achieve the effect of relieving fatigue at all.

You can consider sleeping like this: For morning and afternoon, get up no matter how hard it is.

For example, if you get off work at 4:00 in the middle of the night, come back and set the alarm clock and sleep until 10:00, get up to eat something, and take a walk on the balcony to see the green plants and the sun. Then take a nap at 11:30 or 12, sleep until 3 or 4, get up for a walk and play, and  have dinner. If you still feel tired, you can use the foot soaking bag that nourishes and sleeps at night, soak your feet, and then go to bed early, you can sleep at 7 o'clock without any problem.

This sleeping method can restore your physical and mental strength. Go to work in good spirits the next day!!

If you stay up all night and get off work at 8 or 9 in the morning, the same goes to you, you have to wake up at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and the following steps are the same as above.

This kind of sleeping method seems to be very frustrating, especially every time I wake up, but if you give it a try, it can really supplement your physical strength!!

10 Advices for Life

10 Advices for Life

1. Learning ability

Keep learning. After the age of 30, people's desire and energy for learning will plummet like a roller coaster, so the best time to study is now. When you enter the society, you will rediscover the meaning of learning: you need to deal with people, so learn the art of communication; you need to work in the media, so you learn media operations; you work in an office, so you learn to write articles and learn photography; keep yourself in a state of "charging" all the time.

 

2. Social Power

Build effective networking. The rich have a wider social circle than the poor, and unlike our usual belief, such a social circle is not waiting for you to "get rich" "It only started to build after that, but it is constantly enriched in the process. Start learning to expand new social circles through work relationships and existing social channels.

 

3. Health Power

Live a healthy life. All physical functions of a person will reach their peak in their 20s, and then start to decline. If you don't pay attention, wait until 5 years have passed. Even if you have achieved work results, you will be half bald at that time. , Potbellied, having sallow complexion, gastrointestinal disorders... After the age of 30, there are more opportunities to face, and there are still so many years in the future, what are you going to do? When you establish a set of regular habits from work and rest to diet and exercise, you can spend the least amount of energy and get the best health.

 

4. Economic power

Learn financial management from scratch. The meaning of learning financial management is not to let you invest, but to establish the concept of financial "income and expenditure". The biggest problem of many people is not that they earn less or spend more, but they don’t know how the money they earn is spent. Start by keeping a monthly income and expenditure record to see how much money you earn and how much you spend. Remember, the best way to manage money for all people is to save.

 

5. Affectionate

Take care of your parents now. Many young people who work hard outside often have such a mentality: I don't have time to take care of my parents now, but when I develop, I will make up for it. In fact, after the age of 30, your parents will truly enter old age, facing a series of problems such as health and retirement, and some of them will leave you early or "forget" before you even get "developed". you". If a person is working hard in the city, he should always call them, learn to understand their worries, ramblings, and dullness, take out part of your income to buy insurance for their parents, ask them to have a medical examination every year, and occasionally bring them out. Go out for walks, climbing the mountains and looking at the sea while they could still move. Your parents will always be your strongest backing in your struggles outside.

 

6. Emotional power

Learn to deal with emotions. This is also a problem that plagues many people, especially some negative emotions, such as irritability, depression, sadness, jealousy, etc., will greatly affect a person's behavior and choices. If you want not to be a slave to your emotions, you must start paying attention to your emotions in your 20s, learn how to regulate negative emotions, how to intentionally create positive emotions, and keep yourself in a healthy and positive mood.

 

7. Execution

Eliminate procrastination. The essence of procrastination is confrontation.. There are many ways to combat procrastination, but the one that works the most for me is to establish and break down goals. You only have to set yourself a plan like "achieve certificate in your profession" ", and in a few months to start preparing to review and prepare for the exam” and so on. Setting yourself a goal and breaking it down will keep you from escaping because there is a "deadline" everywhere.

 

8. Interest

Stick to a few long-term interests. We all have many interests and hobbies when we are young, but not all of them can last for a long time, especially after working. Imagine the boring life with no hobbies at all. After a day of busy work, go singing and playing with friends, or completely immersed in another activity that attracts your full attention, is actually the most helpful to relieve work fatigue. More importantly, some persistent interests, under certain conditions, may accidentally become a sideline that changes your destiny.

 

9. Image

Reshape your personal image. From the age of 25 to 30, this may be your last chance to change your image, because at this time you begin to have some financial strength and can change your personal image in all aspects from clothing, skin care, makeup, hairstyle, etc. according to your needs. You should also pay more attention to your external image in these 5 years.

 

10. Innovation

Learn to let go and forget. This is a very important ability for people in their 20s. Life is likened to travelling. When you have too many things on you, you can't continue to travel light. Some things are to be given up and forgotten. For example, when you were young, the relationship that turned sour, the friendship that parted ways or the difficulty to get through college, the embarrassment when you failed a course... These you once thought would affect your life it’s actually not as important as you think, you should forget it. There are more important things waiting for you to do. If you don’t empty the memories of the past, you can’t begin a new story.

The bigger the heart, the smaller the things

One day, a man with a sad face went up the mountain to ask a master: Life is too tiring and bitter, what should I do?

The master did not answer, but added a tablespoon of salt to a glass of water and let the man taste it. We can imagine the result; the man complained that the water was too salty.

The master smiled, then added the same amount of a spoonful of salt into the pond, scooped a glass of water and handed it to him, he realized that, Everyone's life is tough, and whether life is hard or not depends on whether one's heart can take the stress.

01

On the road of life, we will always encounter all kinds of bad things, the sufferings, the pain of losing, the anxiety, the intrusion of diseases and disasters... No one can be spared, and no one can be immuned.

We can't change the situation, but we can change the mindset.

"If you love, everything in life is lovely. If you hate, everything in life is hateful. If you are grateful, you can be grateful in everything."

The happiness of man lies in the happiness of the heart.

Those who live happily are not because they are without worries and challenge, but because of their mentality.

02

There was once that I heard an argument of my neighbours in the wee morning. It turned out that they planned to leave for a trip this morning, but before they could go out, the car had a flat tire and the argument intensified.

At this time, their children shouted:

Shouldn't we be thankful that the car didn't have a flat tire on the highway?

After hearing this, my neighbours stopped, and in the next second, they suddenly laughed.

"Looking at the problem from a different angle, you will gain something different, and the world will be displayed in front of you in another angle."

Many times, the predicament you think is just because you are trapped in your own thinking. There is no absolute misfortune in this world. If you look in another direction, you will often gain another way of thinking and encounter different scenery.

When you are stuck in a bottleneck in your work, think about it, this is actually an experience that adds value to yourself, is an instant motivation;

When you are infuriated by your child, think about how much joy this life has brought you, and does your anger disappear in an instant?

When you fall into the bottom of your life, think about it, no matter how you go from now on, it will be uphill, what else is unacceptable?

Dickens said: Life is not as good as you think, but it's not as bad as you think.

03

When you close your hands, there is nothing inside; when you open your hands, the world is in your hands.

Knowing how to let go is a kind of wisdom.

In 1991, South African President Mandela shocked the world with a gesture at his inauguration.

He even respectfully paid tribute to the three guards who had imprisoned him.

However, what makes the world admire even more is what he said next:

"When I walked out of my cell and walked through the prison gate to freedom, I knew that if I couldn't leave my grief and resentment behind me, then I was still in prison."

In life, there will always be some things that make us sad and some people who make us feel uneasy.

However, things have changed, the past can never be repeated, what is the meaning of trapping myself, it is only myself who is embarrassed.

Obsession is the shackles of the soul, and letting go is the salvation of the soul.

"If you can't forget it, then the pain will be fresh and vivid all the time, and it will torture you all the time. It is better to let it go and be indifferent."

Only by letting go of the past can we embrace tomorrow; by letting go of obsessions, we can reap happiness.

The rest of your life is very precious, and if you let go of one thought, the world will be free.

 

Life is a journey, and the most important thing is to cultivate the heart.

If your heart is small, things will be big; if your heart is big, things will be small.

 

Relax and look at things, and your life will be bright, with horizons far and wide.

How to become poor?

Most people complain about being poor, but have you ever thought about the real reason you are poor?

01 Hesitate

Indecision is more likely to lead to poverty than recklessness. If you do not have a stand, no matter how good you are in other aspects, is always easy to be pushed aside by those who are determined in the race of life.

02 Procrastinate

When it comes to procrastination, many people must have this problem.

In fact, a lot of times procrastination is just laziness and avoiding problems. Faced with the current difficulties, we procrastinate again and again, unwilling to face and solve it. Thinking of procrastinating for a day is a day, and I always make excuses for myself: "I'm too busy today, I have too many things to do, it doesn't matter if I do it tomorrow..."

But if you keep repeating this, you will fall into a "more and more boring work" and "more and more boring life", and then you will become more and more negative and lazy. Finally, with the accumulation of time, you will have a strong sense of guilt and self-denial, and become more and more anxious.

03 Never last long-

80% of the failures in the world come from giving up halfway. You have never experienced the joy of persevering in doing one thing successfully, because perseverance is boring and full of setbacks for you. Almost everyone has made ambitious life plans, but few can persevere to the end. Very few, let alone the last, many people give up after the first three days.

04 Afraid of rejection

Maybe many people  feel the same. The difficulties they feel in interpersonal relationships are actually more or less related to "fear of rejection", such as the sudden departure of a lover, being betrayed, and being alienated.

And this kind of rejection can be very subtle. For example, if you give the other person a smile or a look, the other person does not respond to you. In fact, these sensitivities come from your own self-esteem.

And a person who can let go of self-esteem and do things is a person who is focused on goals and results. And people who put their self-esteem first, always pay attention to the attitude of others towards themselves when doing things in interpersonal communication. Therefore, the more useless a person is, the easier it is to be obsessed with those insignificant bottom lines and self-esteem.

05 Limit yourself

This means always doubting your own abilities. For example, if you want to do something, but there are always several reasons for you to feel that you can't do it, before you try to do it, deny yourself and find a bunch of reasons for yourself not to put in the effort.

In fact, all your mediocrity and failure are due to your own self-imposed limitations.

06 run away from reality

Escape from reality is something that many people have done before.

There are 5 characteristics of people who are prone to escapism:

1. Frequent daydreaming. They prefer to create a small world of their own.

2. A free and unrestrained life is actually a longing for a life of idleness.

3. Indulge in online games or fantasy novels, they can lead you into that fantasy world and let you escape from the daily reality.

4. I feel that the real world is cruel, but when I pursue my daydreams, I will always be hit by real life.

5. Unable to face an uncertain environment, because in the small world you create, you can find a sense of security.

07 Always find excuses for self

When you make a mistake, your first reaction is to make excuses to defend yourself. People who like to make excuses all have one common feature: they don't have a strong professionalism, they don't have persistent pursuits, and they don't have a firm belief in life.

So when they encounter pressure and encounter difficulties, they don't want to bear it. In the face of risks and challenges, they will also choose to retreat at the first time. And holding back forces them to make excuses for themselves.

08 Cowardice

I am afraid of being criticized by leaders, I am afraid that my ability will be denied by others, I am concerned about the evaluation of others, I am afraid of making mistakes, and my efforts will not be rewarded.

I remembered a sentence: "I don't dare to work hard to think about myself, for fear that I will finally know that I am not a genius. However, there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, so I am not willing to be with the rubble."

In fact, it is a weak mind, unwilling to face setbacks.

09 Refuse to learn

Many people think that learning is painful, and it is better to be comfortable and not make a change.

So, when you become poor, don’t blame others. Your current life is caused by yourself. If you want to live a good life, you must change your mediocre status quo. Persevere; be bold, and not afraid of setbacks. This is your road to success.

How to avoid being scammed?

How to avoid being scammed?

 If you only think about making money when you have no money, you may fall into a trap.

 

When a person is in a desperate situation, especially because of money, it is difficult to be rational.

01 People who have no money are actually easier to be fooled

 

There is an interesting statistic.

 

Among the people who buy used cars, the chances of the rich being scammed are much lower than those who are poorer.

 

The reason is that rich people tend to buy high-end cars when they look for cars, and the former car owners cherish them very much, and there are fewer problematic cars.

 

Those who have no money often only pay attention to the price. The cheaper the better, but it does not conform to the law of value. Usually, cars with very low prices have many problems.

 

This shows that people who have no money pay too much attention to cost considerations, are short-sighted, and often evaluate things by paying less and getting more, and are blinded by the joy of taking advantage. Liars often take advantage of this, and the success rates are high.

02 Everyone can make and save money

 

Many people find it difficult to make money. But the difficulty is that many people are unwilling to do it, not that they do not know how to do it.

 

It can be summarized into three aspects: long, medium and short:

 

Long term: Invest in yourself and make yourself valuable. Taking advantage of the time, take a few more exams and certificates to make your value higher. The higher the value, the more people will come looking for you, that is, sending you money.

 

Medium term: Although it being said many times, I still have to say that when you have money, try to save some. You do not know when the savings can be critical to save lives.

 

Short-term: if It's really not possible to have some leftover cash, do part-time jobs. If you teach at school, you can help others with tuition after get off work to subsidize your family; if you sit in an office during the day, you can also deliver food and drive a taxi at night. Although it is hard, but steadfast, when danger comes, sometimes you can get through it.

 

03 Making money requires long-term and reasonable planning

 

There are no so-called cures and quick fixes for the basic problems of life. Make predictions and develop strategies ahead of time.

 

In the workplace, the first step in planning is to have a goal. You must have a very precise goal of making money to guide yourself. For example, how much money your goal is to make this year and how much you want to achieve in salary.

 

With a goal, one has to abandon the unrealistic idea of ​​getting rich overnight. People who dream of falling gold from the sky all day long often lose the ability to act, leaving only empty fantasies.

 

Warren Buffett, has been in the financial world for more than 60 years. In fact, the average annualized rate of return is only about 20%. If one year's income is only considered, many people around him may benefit from investing in stocks for one year.

 

But he insists on long-term investment and value investment. Therefore, the accumulation of wealth at an annual growth rate of 20% for more than 60 years is an astronomical figure.

 

Step by step, it is the truth.

 

Many times, it is not the pie that falls from the sky, but the bait of the liar.

 

Only by thinking about danger in times of peace, abandoning the dream of becoming rich, keeping a sober head and keeping your feet on the ground, can you avoid becoming a prey of a liar.​​​
