It might not be your cup of tea, but adhering to a daily plan is the only
sensible way to accomplish goals. Try it -- you might like it.
這或許不符合你的風(fēng)格，但是遵守每天的計(jì)劃是完成目標(biāo)唯一合理的方式。嘗試一下，你會(huì)喜歡的。
Step 1 Write it down
1.寫下來
Draw columns on a sheet of paper to
track activities, time devoted to each, and sudden emergencies. Document a normal day to determine which activities go as planned and what delays result from interruptions.
在一張紙上明確地列出來，需要哪些活動(dòng)，每一項(xiàng)活動(dòng)需要投入的時(shí)間，以及突發(fā)事件。一天結(jié)束之后記錄一下，哪些活動(dòng)按計(jì)劃完成了，哪些活動(dòng)受到擾亂而延誤了。
Make a daily to-do list that prioritizes your tasks, so you know which are the most important.
每天制定計(jì)劃可以讓你對(duì)各項(xiàng)任務(wù)進(jìn)行優(yōu)先排序，所以你知道哪些事情是最重要的。
Step 2 Guard against
procrastination2.預(yù)防延誤
Guard against procrastination by sticking to the new schedule no matter what. Detail action steps to better streamline activities,
delegate some responsibilities, group some tasks, or eliminate diversions.
一定要堅(jiān)持新的時(shí)間表，避免延誤。將要做的事情細(xì)節(jié)化，簡(jiǎn)化一些活動(dòng)，分配一些責(zé)任，安排一些任務(wù)，或取消一些消遣娛樂活動(dòng)。
Step 3 Get away from distractions
3.遠(yuǎn)離讓你分心的事情
Choose a place free from distraction and stay on task. Let everyone know this time is sacred and that you are not to be disturbed.
選擇一個(gè)沒有干擾的地方來完成任務(wù)。讓所有人都知道這段時(shí)間是莊嚴(yán)的，你不能被打擾。
Avoid checking email all day -- a habitual distraction that loses time. Check only at certain times throughout the day as part of the overall plan.
不要一整天都查看郵件——這個(gè)習(xí)慣性的行為非常浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。只在每天特定的時(shí)間查看一下郵件，作為整個(gè)計(jì)劃的一部分。
Step 4 Limit multitasking
4.不要多項(xiàng)任務(wù)同時(shí)進(jìn)行
Limit multitasking to maintain focus and momentum. Finish the job at hand before moving to the next.
避免多項(xiàng)任務(wù)同時(shí)進(jìn)行，集中精力。在進(jìn)行下一項(xiàng)任務(wù)之前先把手頭的工作完成。
Step 5 Reserve time to review and plan
5.預(yù)留檢查和計(jì)劃時(shí)間
Reserve a hour or two each week to review assignments, notes, and your schedule. Adapt and redraw the monthly or long-term objectives to accommodate new challenges. Whether you're a student or an office worker, better time management will help you reach those lofty goals!
每周留出一兩個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間來回顧你的任務(wù)，筆記和時(shí)間表。調(diào)整并制定新的月度或更長(zhǎng)期的目標(biāo)來適應(yīng)新的挑戰(zhàn)。無論你是學(xué)生還是辦公室工作人員，更好的時(shí)間管理將幫助你達(dá)到那些崇高的目標(biāo)。
A 2007 Gallup poll found more than 30 percent of workers believed that their fellow employees wasted 2 to 3 hours a day.
2007年一份民意調(diào)查顯示，超過30%的工作人員認(rèn)為他們的同事每天浪費(fèi)兩到三個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。
