5 Ways to Get Stuff Done, When You'd Rather Not

快速完成工作的五個方法

As the toughest day of the week draws to a close, are you having trouble making progress on your to-do list? You don't need to pack up for the day with a sense of failure. In the hours you have left, these tricks can help you get enough done to start Tuesday off with a sense of accomplishment instead of dread.

在每週最難熬的週一結束前，你是否會爲任務清單上未完成的事項感到煩惱？其實你大可不必帶着失敗感結束這天。在你離開辦公室之前，下面這些方法可以幫助你快速完成工作，充滿成就感開始週二的工作。

1. Trick yourself.

自我欺騙

Sometimes, a feeling of having made progress is all you need to rekindle your motivation. So, go ahead: add an item to your list that will take 30 seconds to check off, use one looming deadline to inspire you to tackle another, or dive into something new by saying you'll just give it five minutes ... and then work as long as you can.

有時，一點點進度感就能讓你重燃動力。那麼，就繼續下去吧：在你的任務清單上加入一件30秒就能搞定的事情，然後再加個截止時間來鼓勵自己完成下一件事情，或者告訴自己在下一件事情上只會花五分鐘，然後就開始行動…隨後盡力花多點時間繼續這件事情。

2. Take lots of breaks.

多休息幾下

Find yourself checking your social media feeds or reading the internet? Disengage, for real, and you'll be able to connect with your work when you come back.

發現自己花太多時間查看社交應用或者瀏覽網頁？把自己解放出去，好好休息下，等你回來就會發現自己可以繼續工作了。

3. Use bribery.

賄賂自己

One-hundred more words on this report, and you can have a late afternoon cup of coffee. One more phone call, and you can check your personal email. Rewards are terrific motivators.

告訴自己再寫100字的報告，就可以去喝個下午茶；再多打一個電話，就可以去查下私人郵箱。給自己小小的獎勵會讓你更有動力。

4. Get physical.

活動下筋骨

Most of us spend far too much of our day sitting. It's bad for our health and bad for our concentration. Take a walk around the block or do jumping jacks in an unused conference room – anything to get the blood pumping and your brain working again.

我們中大多數人一天中坐得太久。這對我們的健康和注意力都無益。到街上走兩步，去無人的會議室做幾個開合跳或者其他任何可以加速血液流通、大腦運轉的運動、

5. Work as a team.

團隊合作

When you have a big project deadline coming up, you can even reserve a meeting room and work in the same place. Not only will you get more done, but you'll probably feel more connected to your co-workers while you're doing it, which makes work less lonely and almost – almost – like a fun social event.

當某個重大計劃的截止日期到來時，可以預定個會議間，在同一個座位上工作。這樣不僅工作進度快，還能讓你感覺到有同事並肩作戰，這樣可以減少工作中的孤獨感，讓你感覺到自己正在完成一件社會大事。
