经典:让你充实过好每一天的13件小事 Start early. Going into work early was one of my favorite tricks — it was quiet, before the phones and chatter and meetings started, and I could get a lot of work done in peace. By the time everyone else was getting started, I’d gotten two or three big tasks checked off. 1. 早早开始 早点开始工作是我比较喜欢的方法——那时很安静，扰人的电话，烦心的唠叨以及会议都还没有开始，这时候我就可以在安静中完成很多工作。当其他人开始工作的时候，我已经完成了两三件任务了。 Limit your hours. It’s ironic, because so many people work long hours and think they’re getting more done and being more productive. But they’re throwing brute hours at the problem. Instead, cut back on your hours and set a limit — say 6 or 7 hours a day — and get your most essential work done within that limit. If you know you’re only working 6 hours today, you’ll be sure to get the important tasks done first and waste less time. Limits force you to be effective. 2. 限制时间 这是很讽刺的，因为太多的人工作很长时间，他们以为这样就可以完成更多的工作，可以更有效率。但是他们在像牲口一样的思考问题。相反的，减少你的工作时间，设定一个界限——比如6或7个小时——把最需要的事情在这段时间内做完。如果你觉得今天只有六个小时的工作时间，你就肯定会把重要的任务先做完，而尽量少浪费时间。限制可以逼迫你更加的高效。 Make a short list. Make a long list of all the tasks you need to do … then make a short list of 1-3 things you really want to get done. Choose so that, if you got only these tasks done, you’d be proud of what you did today. Start with the most important task, before checking email or reading online. 3. 缩短计划单 做一个你需要做的所有事情的整体清单……之后再做一个只有1-3件你真正想完成的短清单。如果用短的计划单，当你完成那几项任务时，你会为你今天所做的感到骄傲。从最重要的任务开始工作，之后再查邮件或上网浏览。 Batch distractions. What are your common distractions? Perhaps things like email, reading blogs, Twitter or another social network? Set a time for these, preferably later in the day: say, from 3-4 p.m. Don’t do the distractions before then. By grouping them all into one time period, you allow yourself to do other work first, but still get in your distraction time. Another approach might be to do them for 10 minutes at the end of each hour — but stick to that 10-minute limit! 4. 打包分心的事物 什么是让你平常分心的事情？是邮件、看博客、twitter或者其他的社交网络？为这些设定一个时间，比如就下午3点到四点。在这之前，不
