十个好习惯教你高效利用时间

Time. You can

’

t recover it, make up for it, or

reverse it. There are 24 hours in a day and 168 in a week, and

those

numbers

aren

’

t

changing.

What

you

can

do

is

use

the

hours

more efficiently and wisely to free up at least 60 minutes a

week.

时间——既不能收回，

也无法弥补或 倒流。

一天

24

小时，

一周

168

小时，

永远不多不 少。

你能做的只有更有效地利用好这些时

间，努力争取每周挤哪 怕

60

分钟出来。

Many of my executive clients work 60-plus hours a

week still find a way to do things for themselves and their

families. How? They do it by prioritizing. They know what

’

s

truly important, what

’

s urgent, and what isn

’

t. They know

how to say no to certain things and yes to other things. And

they know how to maximize the time that they do have and not

dwell on time that they don

’

t have.

我的很多管理层客户每周至少工作

6 0

小时，却依然可以

挤出私人与家庭时间。他们是怎么做到的呢

?

通过优先处理。他们知

道什么才是真 正重要的、

哪些紧急而哪些又可以缓一缓。

他们懂得如

何拒绝或接受某些事情。

而且，

他们知道怎样最 大化利用自己拥有的

时间，而不是一味想着没有的。

Here

’

s how you can optimize your time:

下面就教你如何最大化利用时间：

1. Track how you spend your time

记下自己都把时间花在了哪里

Do

this

for

one

week.

Many

people

are

entirely

unaware of what they do hour to hour and where the day goes.

This simple exercise of noting what you

’

re doing each hour

can have a huge impact.

坚持记录一个星期。

很多人根本不清 楚自己是怎么混过每

时每天的。记下每小时做了什么虽然简单，却能发挥重要作用。

One recent client told me how she spent 15 minutes

every morning trying to decide what to wear each day. That

’

s

almost

two

hours

a

week

she

spent

deciding

what

to

wear.

Another

client

told

me

how

he

spent

almost

an

hour

a

day

in

one

sitting

reading sports scores even though his intention was to just

“

check

them

quickly.

”

Track

your

time

and

know

where

you

’

re

spending it.

最近有个客户告诉我，她每天早上要花

15

分钟决定该穿

什么衣服。也就是说，她每周几乎花掉

2

小时来决定穿衣服这件事。

还有一个客户跟我说，就算原本只想“快速扫 一眼”

，他每天还是会

花掉将近

1

小时用来查看比赛得分。

记下你的时间分配，

看看自己到

底都干了些什么吧。

2. Determine which tasks and activities are vital

and which are optional

确定哪些任务和活动比较重要，而哪些是可有可无的

Structure other tasks around those that are vital.

Schedule your day by doing the important tasks first. This is

when

you

are

freshest

and

energetic.

So

often

the

less

important tasks get in the way of other things that need to

be done. For many this is a distraction. It

’

s easier to do

the

things

that

aren

’

t

as

important.

Fear

leads

to

procrastination and ends us keeping us stagnant. Here

’

s how

to overcome procrastination.

其他都以重要任务为中心进行安排 。

日程安排要先处理重

要任务。这时你大脑清晰、精力充沛。通 常，不太重要的事情会半路

插进其他必做事情中，

而且往往造成 干扰。

因为不太重要的事情更容

易处理。

畏难心理进而导致拖延，

最后使我们毫无进展。

下面就教你< /p>

如何克服拖延症。
