时间管理精要

01. There is alway time. Time is priorities. 时间常有。时间优先。

 

　　02. Days always fill up. 时间总会有的。

　　Only plan for 4-5 hours of real work per day. 每天只计划4-5 小时用于真正工作。—— DDH，37signals

 

　　03. Work more when you are in the zone. Relax  when you‘re not. 当你在工作状态时，那就多干点；不在状态时，就好好休息。

　　“有时候会连着几天不是工作状态，有时在工作状态时却又能天天忙活 12 小时，这都很正常的。” —— Alain Paquin

　　译注：If you are in the zone you are happy or excited because you are doing something very skilfully and easily.

 

　　04. Respect your time and make it respected. 重视你的时间，并使其值得重视。

　　“ your time is 1000$/hour, and you need to act accordingly. 你的时间是 1000 美元/小时，你得行动起来。

 

　　05. Stop multi-tasking. It merely kill your focus. 不要同时多任务。这只会消耗注意力。（保持专注，一心一用）

 

　　06. Set up a work routine and stick to it. Your body will adapt. 养成一个工作习惯，并持之以恒。你的身体会适应过来的。

　　07. We’re always more focused and productive with limited time. 在有限的时间内，我们总是非常专注并且有效率。

　　08.  Work is the best way to get working. Start with short task to get the ball rolling. 获取工作的最佳方式就是工作。（把要做的工作分成多个小任务，）从小任务开始做起，让整个工作运转起来。（千里之行始于足下）

 

　　10.  More work hours doesn’t mean more productive. Use constraints as opportunities. 工作时间越长，并不等于效率越高。把约束当成机遇吧。

　　11. Separate brainless and strategic tasks to become more productive. 按重要性划分工作，提高效率。

　　Separate thinking and execution to execute faster and think better. 把思考和执行独立开来，是为了更快的执行和更好的思考。—— Sol Tanguay， Imarklab

 

　　15. Work around procrastination. Procrastinate between intense sprints of work (Pomodoro). 工作之外就是拖延。高强度工作之间都有着拖延。

　　16.  ”Break the unreasonable down into little reasonable chunks. A big goal is only achieved when every little thing that you do everyday， gets you closer to that gloal.” 把不切实际的（任务）分割成多个小的合理部分。一个大目标，只要你每天都做些小事情，你也就更靠近那个大目标了。—— escaping the 9 to 5

　　17. No two tasks ever hold the same importance. Always prioritize. Be really careful with to-do lists. 从来没有两个任务会有相同的优先级。总会有个更重要。请仔细考虑代办事情列表。

　　18. Always know one thing you really need to get done during the day. 必须要明白你白天要真正去完成哪件事。

　　“Only ever work on the thing that will have the biggest impact” 只去做那件有着最大影响的事情。—— Jason Cohen

　　19. Break tasks in to hour increments. Long tasks are hard to get into; feels like it all needs to get done. 长任务难以入手，把任务按等量时间划分。如此一来，小任务给人感觉的是，很快就要做完了。

25. Write down anything that distracts you- google searches, random thoughts, new ideas, whatever. The point is, if you write them down, they’ll stop bubbling up when you’re in the zone. 在你进入（工作）状态后，记下任何分散你注意力的东西，比如 Google 搜索词、灵光乍现的想法、新点子等等。如果你把它们记下来，它们就不会在蹦来蹦去了。

　　26. Take breaks. Sometimes. 请适当休息！
