Ted 演讲标题：如何掌控你的自由时间 When people find out I write about time management,They assume two things.One is that I’m always on time,And I’m not.I have four small children,And I would like to blame them for my occasional tardiness,But sometimes it’s just not their fault.I was once late to my own speech on time management.We all had to just take a moment together and savor that irony.The second thing they assume is that I have lots of tips and tricks for saving bits of time here and there.Sometimes I’ll hear from magazines that are doing a story along these lines,generally on how to help their readers find an extra hour in the day.And the idea is that we’ll shave bits of time off everyday activities,add it up,and we’ll have time for the good stuff.And I question the entire premise of this piece,but I’m always interested in hearing what they’ve come up with before they call me.Some of my favorites:doing errands where you only have to make the right-hand turns;Being extremely judicious in microwave usage:it says three to three-and-a-half minutes on the package,we’re totally getting in on the bottom side of that.And my personal favorite,which makes sense on some level,is to DVR your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials.That way, you save eight minutes every half hour,so in the course of two hours of watching TV,you find 32 minutes to exercise.which is true.You know another way to find 32 minutes to exercise?Don’t watch two hours of TV a day,right?Anyway,the idea is we’ll save bits of time here and there,add it up,we will finally get to everything we want to do. 当人们发现我在写关于时间管理的内容时，他们总会假设两件事。一件事是我总是很守时， 但是我不是。我有四个小孩，我倒是很想把偶尔的迟到怪到他们头上，但是有时候并不是他 们的责任。我有次连自己的时间管理讲座都迟到了。当时大家只得一起体会了一下其中的讽 刺意味。第二件事就是他们觉得我有很多诀窍来节省各种零散的时间。有时候我会收到杂志 的来信说他们正在根据这样的思路写文章，通常是关于如何帮助读者在一天中抽出一个小时 的时间。这个想法是说我们从日常活动中省出零散的时间，加起来，这样我们就有足够的时 间来做有意义的事了。我对这个概念的整个前提保持怀疑，但我总是很感兴趣他们在给我打 电话前想出了什么点子。有几个是我很喜欢的：出去办事选择一路全是右转弯的地方；极其 谨慎地使用微波炉：包装上说叮三到三分半钟，那就绝对只叮三分钟。我个人最喜欢的，从 某
