改善时间规划情况的5个办法

As much as I talk about time management, productivity, technology, and goals, it can be difficult to give a “quick tip” to improve your productivity.

我谈论过时间、效率、技术、目标，但很难提出一个快速的方法来提高你的效率。

There are no silver bullets. After all, everyone’s life, job, and circumstances are different.

没有什么特别之处，毕竟，每个人的生活、工作以及所处的环境都是不一样的。

Here are 5 Quick Tips to Improve Your Time Management:

这里整理了改善时间管理的5个小办法：

1. Plan Your Day – The single best thing you can do to boost your productivity is to plan your day before leaving the house. Less than 10% of individuals do this, so start your day ahead of the pack.

计划好一天。提高效率最好的一个方法就是在离开家之前就计划好一天的工作内容。会这样做的人不到10%，所以一定要率先开始这样做。

2. Block Your Time – Block time on your calendar for your work. Otherwise your calendar will be nothing more than a schedule for other people’s priorities.

分配自己的时间好。给自己的工作安排好时间，否则相较而言那也就只是一个日程安排。

3. Get Out of Your Inbox – Email is not your job! Get out of your email inbox and get your real work done. Close your email client when you are not working in it. Your email will still be there when you return.

离你的邮箱远点。看邮件不是你的工作。远离你的邮件，做好你的本职工作。当工作不涉及邮件的时候就关掉邮箱客户端。因为你返回去看的时候，你的邮件也还在邮箱里面。

4. Say NO When Appropriate – Saying NO is a learned skill. Whether it is to meetings, taking on others’ responsibilities, and more… you need to be able to say NO when necessary.

适时说不。说“不”是一项必备的技巧。不管是会面、承担某人的责任、甚至是其他的，必要的时候你得能说“不”。

5. Always Do Your Most Important Work First – Life has a way of surprising you. Don’t let the unexpected derail your important tasks. Always do your most important items first thing in the day. That way, no matter how hectic your day gets, you have already completed your top priorities.

首先要做最重要的工作。生活中会有很多惊喜。不要让意料之外的事干扰到那些比较重要的事情。每天一定要总是先做那些最重要的事情。那样的话，不管每天有多忙，最紧急的事情总能先完成。
