The deadline for key tasks has arrived, and we will work overnight to make up for any gaps; The annual plan has been summarized for this stage, and then pieced together... In daily work, some party members and cadres always "cram" on things that have already been determined to be done. To be fair, grassroots work is complex and there are many unexpected situations. It is understandable to work overtime and catch up with the schedule, but this cannot be regarded as the norm for handling planned work. Why do some people rely on "last-minute cramming"? The main reason is' dragging '. Some lack a sense of responsibility. Being careless and perfunctory, forgetting the responsibilities of cadres, and lacking reverence for work. So, when it comes to doing things, there is no long-term plan, and I don't have a clear idea of the key tasks and prescribed actions for the year. I procrastinate day by day, take one step at a time, and when the eyebrows are burning, I can only "cram" at the last minute. Some are also influenced by utilitarianism. Starting from the individual, only those who are useful to oneself should focus on and do it; If it's useless to oneself, push it if you can, drag it if you can, only if you can't drag it over. Even worse, when it comes to personal promotion and assessment, one can immediately muster up their energy and focus on showing others. Of course, 'last-minute cramming' is not entirely the responsibility of the officials themselves. Sometimes, superiors rush and leave little time for grassroots to implement, forcing them to hastily hand over tasks. Sometimes, superiors tend to prioritize deployment over guidance, and the grassroots may not have a clear understanding of work requirements, resulting in frequent adjustments and modifications needed to report work results. Over time, the mentality of cadres has changed: "The earlier you work, the more you can improve, it's better to sharpen your skills." "last-minute cramming" often leads to relaxed requirements for work standards. Without enough time to think and polish, the quality of a job is difficult to guarantee, and it can also cultivate a habit of procrastination and laziness, promote the unhealthy trend of formalism, and hinder the development of the career. As the saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Why do some of the internet famous cities in recent years enjoy a "cultural and tourism feast" after "going out of the circle", while others have a low rise and a flash in the pan? Tourists flock here to test the infrastructure such as restaurants, hotels and public transportation, as well as the service consciousness and Internet thinking of party members and cadres. What is more profound is the long-term political ecology and business environment. These are not something that can be easily obtained by last-minute cramming. As netizens have said, "Without 'sufficient preparation', we cannot withstand the 'sky high wealth and prosperity'." Of course, some jobs require urgent attention and immediate action. Efficient execution based on daily duties and responsibilities is fundamentally different from the haphazard "last-minute cramming" approach. To change the "last-minute cramming", we need to better leverage the role of assessment as a command stick, standardize assessment and supervise daily work, continuously rectify formalism to reduce the burden on grassroots, liberate grassroots from the state of "fire brigade leaders", and break the vicious cycle of "too late". Every party member and cadre should also ask themselves: Why engage in politics? We cannot procrastinate or be perfunctory in our daily lives. At critical moments, we should be bold, daring, and pressing the table to ask. The same thing, whether it is for the sake of seeking credit and rewards or truly wanting to do something practical for the people, with different positions, the result is a world of difference. At the end of the day, 'rushing' and 'doing' are not completely opposite. Instead of 'last-minute cramming', it's better to focus on daily life and become a long-term entrepreneur. Having a clear understanding in one's mind and accumulating knowledge over time is the key to calmly dealing with challenges and achieving steady progress. (Looking into the New Era)
