了解時間浪費在哪里
Recognize Where the Waste Is
了解時間浪費在哪里
In order to begin a time management program, you need to pinpoint exactly where you are wasting the most time. Likely, there will be many areas where you need better time management. Look at those areas and start working on them every day. Slacking off here or there won’t help you. Be rigid.
要開始進行時間管理程序,就要非常精確的找出自己在什么地方浪費了大把時間。很多方面的時間管理你可能都需要改進。審視這些,開始每天在這些事務(wù)上用心。不要懈怠任何事情,那樣對你是沒好處。必須嚴(yán)格要求自己。
使用節(jié)約時間的工具

使用節(jié)約時間的工具
Getting your life organized will help your time management because you won’t have to think about what is coming up next on your schedule. You can also look up directions if you have a meeting, what restaurants are nearby, and a million other handy things to save yourself some time. Some people use their iPhone for these functions and some still use the Palm Pilot system. Whatever you use, make sure you can surf the net and plug in your daily schedule at ease.
井井有條的生活有益于進行時間管理,因為這樣你就不必去想接下來要做的事。你也可以查看自己的安排,是否有會議要參加,要去附近的哪個餐館,還要做無數(shù)其他瑣碎的事情,這樣能節(jié)省時間。一些人用手機,也有一些人用掌上電腦,用什么工具,只要保證能隨意上網(wǎng)添加日常安排就行。
吃飯時多做點事
Multi-Task While Eating
吃飯時多做點事
Eating while just staring at the wall is a great time waster. Which is not a good thing. At least check your e-mail or read over a project you have to work on in the afternoon while you are munching your way through that tuna sandwich. If you read in your free time, do it during lunch to give you some extra time later when you are usually reading.
吃飯時僅僅盯著墻面是對時間的巨大浪費。這是很不好的事。在你大口吞食金槍魚三明治的時候,至少應(yīng)該查看郵件,或者看看下午的待辦事項。平時你用業(yè)余的時間看書,但是你如果在吃飯的時候看書的話,原本用于看書的時間就節(jié)省下來了。
提前計劃
Plan Ahead
提前計劃
Each night, there needs to be a moment where you review what will be happening the next day. If you have somewhere to be at 8:30am, plan accordingly. Set your alarm to wake up earlier. Plan your route to avoid as much of the morning traffic rush as possible. It will only take a couple of minutes to refer to your schedule, but will save you tons of time the next day.
每天晚上花點時間想想明天要做什么。如果要在八點半到達某地,就調(diào)節(jié)好自己的計劃。把鬧鐘的時間設(shè)置得提前一點,計劃好路線,盡可能避免早高峰。雖然這會花掉你幾分鐘時間,但會為明天節(jié)約大量時間。
知道孰輕孰重
知道孰輕孰重
Making sure you are attacking a task in the order is also key to managing your time. Alphabetizing your record collection instead of doing your taxes is probably not a smart move. Make a list of things you need to do -- no matter how small -- and put them in order. You can then attack projects and tasks as they move up the list instead of trying to do pieces of projects at the same time. That just keeps you unfocused and wasting time.
還有個合理安排時間的關(guān)鍵,就是確保計劃井井有條。不去處理稅務(wù)事宜,反而去整理音樂磁盤,這么做很不明智。把要做的事情,不論多小,都按順序列在單子上。然后你就可以開始排時間表了,有些事要先做,這樣你就不會把時間都浪費在一些瑣碎的事情上了。這種做法能避免你分散精力、浪費時間。
