讓你完成更多工作的10個簡單方法
The New York Times recently ran an article about how email can make people less productive. However, misuse of email is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Here are 10 actions that you can take today that can make you at least twice as productive as your colleagues.
《紐約時報》最近發(fā)表了一篇關于電子郵件會讓人效率低下的文章。然而,濫用電子郵件只是讓人效率低下的那眾所周知的冰山一角。你今天就可以嘗試下面的這十種做法,這些做法會讓你的效率至少是同事的兩倍。
1. Avoid meetings that lack an agenda.
1.避免參加缺少議程的會議。
Meetings can only be productive if people know why they're meeting in the first place. An agenda provides focus and purpose. The lack of an agenda guarantees meandering conversations that dive into rat holes. They're a waste of your (and everyone else's) time.
只有當人們一開始就知道開會的目的時,會議才會富有成效。議程可以提供著眼點和議題。沒有議程會讓談話不斷轉(zhuǎn)移話題。這樣的談話是在浪費你(和其他人)的時間。
2. Never pick up on an unknown caller.
2. 不要接聽未知來電。
Unless you're working in telesales or product support, there's no reason why you should ever take a call from somebody you don't know. After all, when was the last time you took an unexpected call that was truly important? Days?Weeks?Months?
除非你是做電話銷售或產(chǎn)品支持這樣的工作,否則沒有理由接聽陌生人的電話。想一想,上次你接聽未知號碼來電而那次通話真的很重要是什么時候的事情?幾天前?幾周前?還是幾個月前?
3. Permanently turn off your voice mail.
3.把語音郵件永久關閉。
A voice-mail message consumes minutes of your time (more if you have to replay) to communicate information you could absorb from an email in seconds. Explain in your outgoing message that you don't use voice mail, and instead provide your email address.
語音郵件會占用你幾分鐘的時間(如果你還得回復的話則會占用更多的時間)來交流本來用電子郵件幾秒鐘就能了解的信息。對外解釋你不使用語音郵件,并提供你的電子郵件地址。
4. Hone your email program's sorting rules.
4.改善電子郵件中的排序規(guī)則
It takes time and energy to change gear to sort through (and respond to) a long list of disconnected messages. Most email programs allow you to route different types of messages into folders, where you can review and respond en masse rather than piecemeal.
要想對大量無關聯(lián)消息進行排序需要時間和精力。大部分的電子郵件程序支持把不同類型的消息放入到文件夾的功能,用戶可以在文件夾中批量查看并回復消息,而不需要一條一條地進行處理。
5. Periodically disable email and texting.
5.定期禁用電子郵件和短信。
When you must do creative work or absorb complex information, the last thing you need is your computer and phone chirping and beeping for your attention. Whatever it is, it can wait until you've finished the task at hand.
當你必須做創(chuàng)造性的工作或處理復雜信息時,你最不需要的就是讓電腦或手機發(fā)出蜂鳴聲吸引你的注意。無論是什么事情,都可以等到處理完手頭上的工作再去做。
6. Give social butterflies short shrift.
6.暫時不理社交達人
For some people, a day at work means an endless coffee klatch. They wander the halls searching for somebody, ostensibly to discuss business but really just to chat. Don't let these time leeches hobble your success. Just say no. If necessary, get rude.
對有些人來說,一天的工作意味著無休止的咖啡談話。他們徘徊在大廳里找人,表面是討論業(yè)務實際上只是閑談。不要讓這些垃圾時間妨礙你的成功。只需說不。如果必要的話,態(tài)度可以強硬一點兒。
7. Reward your body with high-quality fuel.
7. 用高質(zhì)量的食物獎勵你的身體。
What you eat determines your energy level, and your energy level determines how much you can get accomplished. Sugary treats provide a quick energy boost but then create an even deeper dip. Heavy foods take energy to digest, leaving you with less to use.
你吃的食物決定了你的身體能量水平,你能量的多少決定了你所能完成的任務。含糖的食物可以迅速提升身體的能量,但也會讓能量下降地更快。油膩的食物需要能量才能消化,這樣會讓你可利用的能量減少。
8. Take a five-minute walking break every hour.
8.每小時散步五分鐘。
The human body is not designed to sit for hours at a stretch. Attempting to do so inevitably creates aches and pains that leech your energy as your body tries to compensate and heal them. So get up and move! Use a timer if you have to.
人體不適合一坐就坐幾個小時。久坐會不可以避免地導致疼痛,這樣的話你的身體就需要能量來減輕疼痛。起來動一動吧!如果需要的話可以使用計時器。
9. Make your decisions more quickly.
9.快速進行決策。
Most people waste an extraordinary amount of time obsessing about (and second-guessing) their decision making. However, you're always better off making a good-enough decision quickly than waiting for an imaginary best decision.
大部分的人都浪費了大量的時間左思右想(或事后批評)他們所做的決策。然而,比起等待一個完美的最佳決策,你總能快速地做出一個足夠好的決策。
10. Completely disconnect for 12 hours every day.
10.每天休息12小時。
If you stop pretending to be productive when you're eating and sleeping, you'll be far more productive when you're actually working. Being always available is an unfailing recipe for stress, illness, and bad decision making. Give it rest.
如果你在吃飯或睡覺時,不再假裝那時工作還有成效,那么當你真正工作時你會更加富有成效的。休息是減輕壓力、減少疾病和不良決策的一種可靠的方法。休息一下吧。
