勇敢的嘗試是成功的一半。

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.

A bold attempt is half success

開(kāi)始你的時(shí)間管理程序，你要非常精確的找出在什么地方你浪費(fèi)了大量的時(shí)間。你很可能在許多地方更好的管理你的時(shí)間，審視這些，開(kāi)始每天在這些事務(wù)上用心，對(duì)待任何事情都不要懈怠，那樣對(duì)你是沒(méi)有好處的。一定要嚴(yán)格要求自己。

Get Some Tools

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.

獲得工具

井井有條的生活是有益于你管理時(shí)間的，因?yàn)檫@樣你就不必去想接下來(lái)要做什么。你也可以查看自己的計(jì)劃表，是否有會(huì)議要參加，要去附近的哪個(gè)餐館，還有無(wú)數(shù)其他的瑣碎的事情，隨時(shí)查看自己的時(shí)間安排，這會(huì)節(jié)省你的時(shí)間。一些人用iPhone，也有一些人用Palm，無(wú)論你用什么工具，都要保證你能隨意的添加你的日常事務(wù)的時(shí)間計(jì)劃。

Multi-Task While Eating

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 (dork!) in your free time, do it during lunch to give you some extra time later when you are usually reading.

吃飯時(shí)多做點(diǎn)別的事情

吃飯時(shí)僅僅盯著墻面，對(duì)時(shí)間是巨大的浪費(fèi)。這是很不好的事情。這個(gè)時(shí)候你至少可以查看自己的郵件，或者在你大口咀嚼三明治的時(shí)候想想自己下午要做什么事情。如果你在自己閑暇的時(shí)候讀書--這真是太愚蠢了--把這些事情放到午餐的時(shí)候吧，為接下來(lái)的事務(wù)多留點(diǎn)時(shí)間，等到你真的閑暇的時(shí)候在去讀書吧。

Plan Ahead

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.

提前計(jì)劃好

每天晚上花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間想想明天將要做什么，如果你要在八點(diǎn)半到達(dá)到某個(gè)地方，協(xié)調(diào)好你的計(jì)劃。將你的鬧鐘設(shè)置的時(shí)間稍微提前一點(diǎn)，計(jì)劃好你的路線，盡可能避免早上塞車。雖然這會(huì)花你幾分鐘時(shí)間來(lái)考慮，但是這會(huì)為你明天有效地節(jié)約時(shí)間。

Priorities

Making sure you are attacking a task in the order it should be conquered 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.

優(yōu)先考慮的事情

確保你的計(jì)劃井井有條，讓它有說(shuō)服力，這也是合理安排時(shí)間的關(guān)鍵。收集音樂(lè)磁盤而不去完成你的稅務(wù)很明顯是不明智計(jì)劃。將你要做的事情--無(wú)論是多么小的事情--都一一按順序列在單子上。這樣你就可以開(kāi)始構(gòu)建你的時(shí)間安排了，優(yōu)先考慮一些事你就不會(huì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間做一些瑣碎的事情了，這樣你就不會(huì)一下子有過(guò)多的事情聚到一起浪費(fèi)你的時(shí)間。
