How to manage you time skillfull

决定静下心来好好学英语，于是从今天开始，很长一段时间的007文章可能都会是这样的形式——蹩脚翻译，一方面增加自己的英文阅读量，另一方面，原来尝试用中文说出来并不是一件简单的事呢。但笑来老师不是说要接受刚开始自己的笨拙嘛，那么慢慢来吧，给自己一点时间。用引文看一些有用的资料，学英文、获取信息、用自己的话表达出来，哇塞，一举三得呢。只是因为实在不是很专业，所以看文章的你可能会有一点累， 或觉得翻得牛头不对马嘴，额，欢迎拍砖。

The benefits of using your time more effectively

高效利用时间的益处

 

E-mail. Voice mail. Meetings. Paperwork. Direct reports who continually ask for help or bring you their problems. How can you be an accessible, responsible manager—yet actually get work done and accomplish your highest-priority goals at the same time?

邮件、语音信箱、会议、案头工作，下属不断的寻求帮助或是带给你他们的问题。你如何才能做到认真负责好相处的经理—但同时又能将你的工作完成，且将你的最优目标在同一时间实现呢？

You need to manage your time skillfully. Time management is the discipline of organizing, allocating, and controlling time you use for activities in such a way that you achieve your desired results. Time management forces you to be explicit about what you value and helps you assign your efforts accordingly.

你需要巧妙的管理你的时间。时间管理是一种针对行为的组织纪律，分配和时间自我控制，只有那样，才能帮助你实现你渴望的目标。时间管理会将你武装成为对自我价值更加明确，进而帮助你更好的安排相应的精力与努力。

Using your time more effectively generates important benefits for you and your organization. For example:

更有效的利用时间将对你和你的组织带来很多重要的益处，例如：

You devote energy and attention to the activities that most support your company's objectives.

你可以集中注意力全身心的投入那些最能支持到公司目标的行为中去。

You eliminate distractions and remain focused on what's most important to your department and organization.

你可以消除干扰，并持续关注于那些对于你的部门和组织最重要的事情中去。

You avoid the stress and even burnout that can come from trying to juggle the many conflicting demands on your time.

You model good time-management behaviors, so your employees and peers can learn from your example.

You improve your on-the-job performance which adds more value to your organization, unit, and teams.

Clearly, a company in which leaders use their time effectively can gain an edge over the competition. But managing your time is more challenging than it may seem on the surface.

显然，一家以高效时间利用为导向的攻势将获得比竞争对手更多的优势。然而如何更高效的管理时间远比表面看起来的有挑战得多。

Discipline and practice

实践与练习

Key Idea

核心思想

Using your time effectively takes discipline and practice. A four-step process can help you make the most of the hours you have available:

实践与练习如何更高效的利用时间。一个四步法将帮助你节约尽可能多的时间：

Start by thinking about your most important on-the-job objectives. What tasks do you need to complete in order to achieve those objectives? How much time should you be spending on those tasks? Ask yourself these questions first to identify and prioritize your goals.

1、首先，想一想你本质工作中最重要的目标。为了实现这些目标，有哪些任务是需要你去做和完成的？你需要在这些任务上花费多少时间？问问你自己这些问题，以帮助自己更好的鉴别自己的目标并为他们进行排序。

Then, analyze how you spend your time. Often, managers think they're using their time to accomplish vital tasks. But in reality, they're spending time on activities that don't enable them to achieve their high-priority objectives. For example, they squander hours each day rather than planning long-term strategy for their department. To use your time more effectively, you need to figure out how you're actually spending your time—and compare it to how you should be allocating it. This process will help you to identify ineffective time- management practices.

2、然后，分析一下你是如何花费时间的。通常，经理们会认为他们始终将时间花在至关重要的任务重。然而实际上，他们更多的是将时间花在那些对于他们优先目标完全无关的事情上了。例如，他们每天花在为部门制定长远计划上的时间远不如被他们浪费掉的时间。更有效的利用你的时间，你需要找出和了解你实际上是如何花费时间的—然后和你应该如何分配时间进行比较。这个过程将帮助你识别出无效的时间管理的练习。

Now you can schedule your time more effectively. Once you know what your goals are, how you're actually spending your time, and which ineffective time-management practices you're falling prey to, you can change the way you schedule your time. That includes using time-management tools more effectively and building schedules that support your priorities. It also means allocating time for resolving unexpected problems and taking advantage of unplanned opportunities.

3、现在你可以更有效的制定你的时间计划表。一旦你清楚的指导你的目标，以及你实际上是如何花费你的时间，以及深受哪些无效时间管理之害。那么你便能够改变你的时间表，那其中包括了更高效的运用时间管理工具，建立支持优先目标的时间表。这同样意味着分配一部分的时间去解决一些意想不到的问题和利用计划外的因素。

Continually monitor and improve your time-management strategies. Once you've created a schedule, put it into action. Monitor what happens, identify problems, and fine-tune your time-management strategies so that you constantly improve the way you're using your time.

4、持续不断的监控和改进你的时间管理策略。一旦你创建了一个时间计划表，付诸实践。监控发生了什么，发现和鉴别问题，并且仔细安排你的时间管理策略，那样你将不断提升运用时间的方法。

 Managing your time requires a disciplined approach and practice.

管理你的时间需要有纪律的方法和不断的时间。

What are goals?

目标是什么

Goals are the starting point of effective time management. They act as a compass, pointing the way to the things that you should be concentrating on. Identify your goals and you will know what is most important to accomplish on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

目标是有效时间管理的出发点。 他们就要罗盘一样，指引着方向，你需要集中精力。确定目标并清楚的指导哦啊对于你而言，每天、每周、每月最重要的事情是什么。

Goal setting is a formal process of defining outcomes worth achieving. When you set goals, you commit to outcomes that you can accomplish personally or through your team. By setting goals and measuring their achievement, you can:

目标设定是一个产出价值实现的正式程序，当你设定目标，你便将通过你个人的努力或你的团队致力于产出的实现，然而设定目标将测量他们的行为，你可以：
