双语职场：让工作富有成效的好习惯

　　Planning

　　Establish a routine of planning your week and your day. This will allow you to have your most productive week all the time. Start yourday an extra 10 minutes early to do this planning everyday. Write down the top 1-3 important things you must do that day. And most importantly, set and reach your goals!

　　制定计划

　　将制定每周和每日计划作为例行常规。这会让你始终都有最富有成效的一周。每天早起十分钟制定当日计划。列出当天你要完成的一到三件最重要的任务。最关键的是，确立并达到你的目标！

　　Power Question

　　Keep a question note like this at your desk to help you stayfocused: “Am I making the most of my time right now?” or “Is there anything else I can do to make my life more productive?”

　　强有力的问题

　　在桌上放张写着如下问题的便笺，用以帮助你集中注意力：“现在我最高效地利用了时间吗？”或者“我还能做些什么来让自己的生活变得更有效率？”

　　Accept That You’ll Never Finish Your Task List

　　For perfectionists and over achievers this is as frustrating¹ as agreyhound forever chasing the mechanical bunny around the track. Just make sure you work on your most important stuff first. Let the fluff slide, not your priorities。

　　坦然接受你完不成任务清单的现实

　　对于完美主义者和高成就者来说，完不成任务就像灵缇犬沿着跑道永无止境地追捕机械兔一样让人沮丧。其实你只需确保自己优先完成最重要的事情就足矣。一些细枝末节的事情没有完成不要耿耿于怀，但别把重要的事情遗漏了。

　　Turn Off Your Computer

　　“What?!” you say, “Everything is done on my computer!” Well is itreally? What percentage truly is? Plan to have your computer on only for that amount of time each day. Plan out blocks of time for computer tasks and work from a checklist to keep you focused. Giving your eyes arest from the screen will give you more energy. Even if you just close your eyes as you think of a response to an email can help too。

　　关闭电脑

　　“什么？！”你会说，“我所有的工作都需要用电脑完成！”这是真的吗？这句话的真实性有几分？计划好每天要打开电脑的时间。划分好不同的时间段来完成“电脑任务”和“清单中的工作”，以保证工作时精神集中。让眼睛移开屏幕休息一会儿能使你的精力更充沛。即便你仅闭上双眼思索该如何回复一封电子邮件，也有助于恢复精力。

　　1. greyhound:灵缇犬为最古老的犬种之一，是世界上脚程速度最快的犬类，时速可达每小时64公里。过去它用于狩猎野兔，现在为了训练，改为追捕人工机械兔子。
