行動成功學:高效管理時間的15個黃金準則(圖)

Recognize Where the Waste Is
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.
瞭解時間浪費在哪裏
開始你的時間管理程序，你要非常精確的找出在什麼地方你浪費了大量的時間。你很可能在許多地方更好的管理你的時間，審視這些，開始每天在這些事務上用心，對待任何事情都不要懈怠，那樣對你是沒有好處的。一定要嚴格要求自己。

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於你管理時間的，因爲這樣你就不必去想接下來要做什麼。你也可以查看自己的計劃表，是否有會議要參加，要去附近的哪個餐館，還有無數其他的瑣碎的事情，隨時查看自己的時間安排，這會節省你的時間。一些人用iPhone，也有一些人用Palm，無論你用什麼工具，都要保證你能隨意的添加你的日常事務的時間計劃。

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.
吃飯時多做點別的事情

吃飯時僅僅盯着牆面，對時間是巨大的浪費。這是很不好的事情。這個時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候想想自己下午要做什麼事情。如果你在自己閒暇的時候讀書--這真是太愚蠢了--把這些事情放到午餐的時候吧，爲接下來的事務多留點時間，等到你真的閒暇的時候在去讀書吧。

Make Calls in the Car
No, we didn’t say hold the phone or dial while you are driving. That’s illegal in a lot of places these days and kinda’ not safe. Use a hands-free device to make your calls and check your voice mail. We all have people we need to chat with every day, so make good use of your time in the car and get the talking out of the way while you make your way through traffic.
在車上打電話
我絕對不是說在你開車的時候打電話。現今在許多地方那都是違法的、而且很不安全。使用一個不用手持東東幫助打電話、查看語音信箱。我們每天都要與一些人閒聊，所以好好利用你在車上的時間。不過當你穿過川流的車流中，奉勸你最好不要這樣做。

Brush Teeth in the Shower
Getting your teeth cleaned up may seem like a quick enough task, but if you do it while standing under the shower head, you can save yourself a couple of extra minutes in the morning. Do it for a week and say hello to ten extra minutes of time for you. This is time you can spend putting your fake eyelashes on or something.
在淋浴的時候刷牙
保持牙齒清潔看起來似乎似乎是一個很快就能完成的事情，但是如果你能夠在淋浴沖洗你的腦袋時刷牙，你就會爲你的早上節省好幾分鐘的時間呢。堅持一週都這樣做，你就能迎來十多分鐘寬裕的時間，這樣你就有時間整理你的假睫毛或着做其他的事情。

Run Home
This is for those of you that work out. Provided you have a cardio program, think about getting the workout finished before you even get home. If you have a wife, girlfriend, or even a dude you carpool with, have them drop you off a few miles from home and start your run. Throw your clothes in a backpack and do it up Army Ranger style. Saves you having to go in the house, change, then leave again. Shaves several minutes off of your day.
飛跑回家
這個是對那些在外面工作的人提出的建議。如果你的公司有打卡進出的制度，要考慮確保在回家之前完成你的工作。如果你有妻子、女朋友，或者你和別人拼車，讓他們在距離你家幾裏的時候放你下車，然後就開始跑吧。把你的衣服整理成突擊隊員那種風格揹着回家。出去你回家換衣服的時間，再從家裏出來，你還有時間刮刮今天新長出的胡茬。

Workout Theater
Piggybacking on the running time saver, for your weigh-lifting workouts, try adapting it to a home workout. Press some iron in the living room while watching a TV show you have on DVR or a flick you have way-overdue from Blockbuster. You will finish your workout while getting your entertainment on and now have some extra TV time for the evening.
影院訓練
得益於你跑步回家回家節省的時間--如果你有舉重練習的習慣--適應在家裏練習吧。你可以在臥室裏看電視或者遐想自己是一位姍姍來遲的大人物的時候做俯臥撐。這樣在你娛樂的時候也把鍛鍊的任務完成了。晚上你就可以有更多的時間看電視了。

Watch the Distractions
Dudes get distracted easily, we know this. If you have some work to get done on the computer, but can’t resist TNT’s afternoon lineup, keep the TV off while working. This goes for the radio, hanging out at Starbucks or working while sitting on the beach. Actually, that one would be pretty sweet.
別走神
我們都很瞭解，人都是很容易分心的。如果你的工作是和電腦打交道，但是你不能抵制TNT下午的電視節目，你就得在你工作的時候吧電視機關了。不過你可以在星巴克閒逛或者在海灘邊坐着的時候聽聽廣播，這樣應該很愜意吧！

Give Work to Someone Else
We don’t take on too much work ourselves because we’re just lazy. But we know a lot of you out there keep piling work on yourself. Learn how to delegate and give work to other people at work, or to roommates at home. Little things, like washing dishes can suck 10 minutes out of your day. Look for areas to pass the task baton to others.
讓別人幫你分擔工作
我們不要自己承擔太多的工作，人都是慵懶的。但是我們瞭解很多，我們讓自己積壓了太多的事情。工作時學會將任務分擔給自己的同事，或者在家的時候讓室友幫着分擔一下。一些像洗完的小事就可以爲你每天節省十多分鐘，在適當的場合將工作讓別人分擔一下，這個也是比較明智的。

Sleep
Many of us feel that afternoon lull where our head starts to bob at our desk. We’re bored with work and we just had to stay up last night to see Angelina Jolie on Letterman. We then spend the next hour trying to fight off sleep and getting refocused. To avoid this, make sure to get enough sleep every pt the nights when Angelina is on.
睡眠
我們之中許多人都會在下午間歇的時候在桌邊打瞌睡。我們厭倦了工作，而我們卻能在昨晚熬夜看Angelina Jolie。我們會強打精神、重新集中精力來工作。爲了避免這種情況，我們應該確保每天晚上都有足夠的睡眠--除了Angelina又出演了。

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.
提前計劃好
每天晚上花一點時間想想明天將要做什麼，如果你要在八點半到達到某個地方，協調好你的計劃。將你的鬧鐘設置的時間稍微提前一點，計劃好你的路線，儘可能避免早上塞車。雖然這會花你幾分鐘時間來考慮，但是這會爲你明天有效地節約時間。

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.
優先考慮的事情
確保你的計劃井井有條，讓它有說服力，這也是合理安排時間的關鍵。收集音樂磁盤而不去完成你的稅務很明顯是不明智計劃。將你要做的事情--無論是多麼小的事情--都一一按順序列在單子上。這樣你就可以開始構建你的時間安排了，優先考慮一些事你就不會浪費時間做一些瑣碎的事情了，這樣你就不會一下子有過多的事情聚到一起浪費你的時間。

Keep on the Cleaning
For you dudes not fortunate enough to have someone living with them that loves to do all the cleaning, you need to stay one up on the cleaning, laundry, and general house stuff. Don’t let the laundry pile up for two weeks then blow half your Saturday doing laundry and folding clothes. Likewise, don’t wait until your place is so messy even the vermin are moving out before you clean it. Do a little at a time as you are going about your day. It’ll never pile up and you’ll always be caught up.
做清潔
城裏人一般是沒有那麼幸運的，能夠和自己所愛的人住在一起，幫助我們做清潔家務。你得依靠自己清理屋室，跑洗衣房，準備日常用品。不要把你的衣服在洗衣房堆兩週，然後再花整個半個週六的時間來洗衣服疊衣服。同樣，也不要等到你的屋子亂的不行了，連蟲子都到處亂跑的時候纔打掃。每天做一點就不會堆積成山了，你也就可以隨時整理了。

Make Some Extra Food
If you cook -- or even if you are just ordering out -- make sure to get a little extra. You can reheat the stuff for your next dinner and save yourself having to cook again. Or you can brown bag it the next day at work and save yourself a trip out to Burger King. Try doing this 2-3 times per week and see how much extra time it’ll save you.
多準備點吃的
如果你自己下廚或者叫外賣，你應該稍微多準備一點。你可以把食物再熱一下，爲自己的下一餐準備着，你就可以省下忙着做自己的下一餐的時間了。你也可以把餘下的食物包起來，工作的時候帶着，這樣你就可以免於跑着去買漢堡了。每週試個兩三次，看看這會爲你節省多少時間。

Monster Shopping Day
This is the antithesis of the cleaning tip. Grabbing some groceries and other household items can suck up your time if you go a few times per week. There’s the traffic, parking, standing in that fun stuff. Plan your shopping for a couple hours once every two weeks. Stock up so you won’t have to keep running out for more stuff. Yes, this will require thought and making a list. But you’ll save yourself hours.
超級購物日
與做清潔的技巧剛剛相反。如果你每週都購物幾次，那些日用百貨和其他的家居條目會耗費你大量的時間。開車去商場、停車、排隊······盡是那些無趣的瑣事。計劃好你要買的東西，每隔兩週去購物一次。儲存貨物，你就不必總是用光這個活那個東西了。當然，這個要仔細計劃一番然後列下購物清單。但是最重要的是你要節省自己寶貴的時間。
