能用手機高效完成的10件工作

When you have a moment of downtime, what is the first thing you do?

停機時,你要做的第一件事是什麼?

If you are like everyone else, without thinking, you reflexively pull out your phone.

如果你和其他人一樣,不加思考,你本能地就會把手機拿出來。

However, the more important question is, “What are you doing on your phone when you turn it on?”

然而,更重要的問題是,“當你打開手機時，你在做什麼?”

Is Your Phone a Tool or a Toy?

你的手機是個工具還是一個玩具呢?

Recent data shows that the average iPhone user unlocks his or her iPhone over 80 times per day.

最近的數據顯示,iPhone用戶平均每天80多次打開他或她的iPhone。

That’s a lot of phone time.

這是一個很多電話的時間。

But, is it useful phone time? Are you getting anything done or are you mindlessly surfing?

但是,這些時間都是有用的嗎?你是什麼事情還是隻是盲目的在網上閒逛?

I’d be willing to bet that most people waste more time with their phone than they accomplish with it. Is your phone a time waster or a time saver?

我願意打賭,比起他們用手機做完工作，大多數人都是在手機上浪費更多的時間。你的手機是打發時間還是節省時間?

Here are 10 Productive Activities You Can Do On Your Phone:

下面列舉了你能用手機完成的10項工作：

Plan Your Day – Rather than surfing the Net, take the time to plan your day. Check your calendar for appointments and obligations. Where do you need to be and when? What could you confirm while you have some wait time?

計劃你的一天——而不是上網,花時間去計劃你的一天。檢查你的日曆預約和工作責任。你有等待時間時，你能確認些什麼？

Review Your Todo List – For a todo list to be effective, it must always be with you. You always have your phone with you, so this is a natural place to track your tasks. So, instead of reading social media, check your todo list to see what you should be doing right now.

回顧你的待辦事項列表——一個代辦事項列表是有效的,它必須一直與你同在。你總是隨身攜帶電話,這是一個記錄工作的自然方式。不是瀏覽社交媒體,而是檢查你的待辦事項列表,看看你現在應該做的。

Capture Ideas – Your phone may not be a word-processing device, but it is great for capturing ideas and notes. I use Apple Notes to capture all kinds of ideas and information. As well, I use Ulysses for all my writing needs. Both of these sync from my phone to my desktop, so I have my information and writings no matter where I am.

記錄想法——你的電話可能不是一個文字處理設備,但它非常適合捕捉想法和記筆記。我用蘋果筆記捕捉各種各樣的想法和信息。同樣,我用於《尤利西斯》寫作的需要。這會保持電話和電腦中信息的同步,無論我在哪裏，我都能看到我的信息和我的作品。

Process email – Don’t read email on your phone. (And then leave it in your inbox.) Instead, process email on your phone. I find that acting on email can be more effective on your phone than on your desktop. Spark email is on of the best email platforms I have seen.

處理電子郵件——不要在手機上閱讀電子郵件。(然後把它放在你的收件箱。)相反,在手機上處理電子郵件。我發現在手機上處理電子郵件比在電腦上更高效。火花郵件是我見過最好的電子郵件平臺。

Read a book – I stopped buying hard copy books a while ago. Yet, I carry dozens with me daily on the Kindle app on my iPhone. Always have a few books ready for when you have down time. Better to read something meaningful than surf the latest news or Facebook posts.

讀書----我不再購買紙質書籍。然而,我在我的iPhone上隨身攜帶着許多日常Kindle程序。一定要在你有空的時候準備幾本書在手機上。讀一些有意義的書籍，而不是在網上閒逛或看Facebook帖子的最新消息。

Shop – Wait, how can shopping be productive? When it saves you from running errands. Five minutes on Amazon yesterday saved me an hour of running about town.

購物---等等，怎樣才能讓購物變得更高效?當它可以節省你走路時。五分鐘在昨天在亞馬遜網站商城上用了五分鐘就省了我跑步到城鎮的一個小時時間。

Listen to a Podcast – Always be learning by listening to a podcast about something that interests you. I use Overcast to keep all my podcasts at the ready.

聽播客-----總是聽些你感興趣的東西。我使用overcast播客播放器做好所有播客的準備。

Call Someone – Believe it or not, one of the least used features of our phones is to actually call someone. Yet, this can be one of the most effective ways to reach out and connect with someone. Or to get business done. Don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and talk to someone instead of sending a text. You’ll be amazed how a two minute conversation can get more done than dozens of back-and-forth messages.

打電話---信不信由你,我們的手機使用的最基本功能之一就是打電話。還有,這可能是接觸和聯繫的人最有效的方法之一。或者完成業務。不要害怕拿起電話跟別人交流，而不是發送文本。你將會驚奇地發現,兩分鐘的談話的效果可以超過幾十條來回的消息。

Run Your Business – Our phones are more powerful than ever, you can run an entire business on one. I regularly check up on work statuses: projects, communication, and even financials .

經營生意---我們的手機比以前更高級了，你可以用來運行一個完整的業務。我經常用來檢查工作狀態:項目、溝通,甚至管理資金。

Write in Your Journal – While on the go can be a great time to write in your journal. When you have a free moment, jot something down in your journal while it is still fresh in your mind.

寫日誌----在路上也成爲一個寫日記的好時機。當你有空的時候,在你對這些事情記得非常清楚的時候記些東西記在你的日記裏,它仍然是新鮮的在你的腦海裏。

Be Productive with Your Phone

用你的手機高效的工作

Next time you pull out your phone and unlock it, think twice about what you will be doing with it.

下次你拿出你的手機解鎖時,想想你要做什麼。

Will you waste time surfing meaningless online information?

你會把時間浪費在瀏覽無意義的在線信息?

Or will you actually get something productive done?

或者你真的會用來完成工作?
