Time Management
Do you ever wish you
had more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. But here are
some ways to use those hours better. As a popular saying says, "Work
smarter, not harder. "
The most important
way to manage your time is to set priorities(优先权). Also, consider
whether or not they are urgent—if they need to be done
right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent, so
make time for them.
Decide ahead of time
what you're going to do at certain times each day. Schedule times not only to
meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets
done.
Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or
evening? Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good, saving easy ones for
when you're tired.
Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two
to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working
on. And I don't get discouraged by looking at a
long list of items I can't finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day's
tasks.
When someone wants to give you a task, think
carefully. Is it really important enough to spend your precious(宝贵的)time on? Could someone else do
it instead?
If you're in charge of running a meeting, keep it
short. Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of
your time. Don't allow it.
In the end, using
time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it.
A. Think about the time of day you work best.
B. That way I can make sure I don't forget
anything.
C. Figure out(弄明白)which of your tasks is the most important.
D. Often, managing time means saying no to things
that aren't so important.
E. Meetings also tend to be a waste of time, so
avoid them whenever possible.
