In the workplace, the essence of our work can be seen as selling our time, exchanging the cost of time for money. So your time is very important, as the ancient saying goes, 'An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.'. Not only is our time important, but everyone's time is also important. In the workplace, respecting others first requires learning to respect their time, especially the boss's time.

As Professor Liu Run once wrote in an article, "The matter of time granularity. Respecting others' time granularity is a manifestation of professionalism

Different people have different levels of time granularity. Some people have a time granularity of five minutes, but they may have to do something every five minutes. Some people have a time granularity of fifteen minutes, while others have half a day or even a whole day. Just like Wang Jianlin, when he was interviewed by a reporter, he waited for three minutes before the reporter arrived and left. After the reporter arrived, he felt that Mr. Wang was putting on airs and couldn't wait for any time. But the reporter didn't know that Wang Jianlin's time granularity may be fifteen minutes. For someone with a time granularity of fifteen minutes, three minutes is very important, and they can accomplish many things in these short minutes. So, if we can understand that different people have different time granularities, it is easy to respect others' time granularities.

The CEO of a well-known company once said, "An employee who arrives half an hour early and leaves half an hour late is worth cultivating." Why? Arriving half an hour early indicates a sense of time management; Arriving half an hour early, you can use this time to tidy up your environment, organize your mood, and enter work mode in the best state possible. If you walk half an hour late, can you review what mistakes you made in your work that day? What can be done better? Make a little progress every day, and over time, you will become even better.

Mr. Liu Run said, "Being punctual gives people a professional feeling because of precision." Not being late means you respect others' time, and everyone has their own granularity of time. Time granularity is the basic unit for a person to manage time. In the workplace, adhering to time is a reflection of a person's good professional ethics, and adhering to time in good professional ethics means respecting the time granularity of others.

No matter what kind of meeting it is, no matter what kind of partner we make an appointment with, we should always be punctual. Being one minute late or not being one minute late is a world of difference. The difference of one word is the watershed between mediocre and excellent people.

Getting stuck at work is a small detail that everyone may be accustomed to, and it may not attract much attention from others, just like the mess on your desk. In daily life, whether we handle these things well or not is not a big deal, because we cannot use them or see them. However, once used and seen, it immediately exposes a person's self-management level and even becomes a key factor in forming a critical impression of a person by key individuals.

Let's be someone who has a time granularity towards others, someone who pays attention to every detail of life, self disciplined and striving for excellence.
