Planning

    Establish a routine of planning your week and your day. This will allow you to have your most productive week all the time. Start yourday an extra 10 minutes early to do this planning everyday. Write down the top 1-3 important things you must do that day. And most importantly, set and reach your goals!

    制定計劃

    將制定每周和每日計劃作為例行常規。這會讓你始終都有最富有成效的一周。每天早起十分鐘制定當日計劃。列出當天你要完成的一到三件最重要的任務。最關鍵的是，確立并達到你的目標！

    Power Question

    Keep a question note like this at your desk to help you stayfocused: "Am I making the most of my time right now?" or "Is there anything else I can do to make my life more productive?"

    強有力的問題

    在桌上放張寫著如下問題的便箋，用以幫助你集中注意力："現在我最高效地利用了時間嗎？"或者"我還能做些什么來讓自己的生活變得更有效率？"

    Accept That You'll Never Finish Your Task List

    For perfectionists and over achievers this is as frustrating as agreyhound forever chasing the mechanical bunny around the track. Just make sure you work on your most important stuff first. Let the fluff slide, not your priorities.

    坦然接受你完不成任務清單的現實

    對于完美主義者和高成就者來說，完不成任務就像靈緹犬沿著跑道永無止境地追捕機械兔一樣讓人沮喪。其實你只需確保自己優先完成最重要的事情就足矣。一些細枝末節的事情沒有完成不要耿耿于懷，但別把重要的事情遺漏了。

    Turn Off Your Computer

    "What?!" you say, "Everything is done on my computer!" Well is itreally? What percentage truly is? Plan to have your computer on only for that amount of time each day. Plan out blocks of time for computer tasks and work from a checklist to keep you focused. Giving your eyes arest from the screen will give you more energy. Even if you just close your eyes as you think of a response to an email can help too.

    關閉電腦

    "什么？！"你會說，"我所有的工作都需要用電腦完成！"這是真的嗎？這句話的真實性有幾分？計劃好每天要打開電腦的時間。劃分好不同的時間段來完成"電腦任務"和"清單中的工作",以保證工作時精神集中。讓眼睛移開屏幕休息一會兒能使你的精力更充沛。即便你僅閉上雙眼思索該如何回復一封電子郵件，也有助于恢復精力。
