BEC剑桥英语高级真题3 Test 3 Part 6-Effective Time Management

All too often, work seems like to take over a disproporitionate part of our lives, with the result that we are not able to see our friends or families as often as we would like and we have little time for relaxation. Although one of the consequences of poor time management for many of us is that it tips over our lives out of balance so that we don't pay enough attention to the things that are really important to achieve them. But the paradox is that when work dominates on one the horizon to such an overwhelming extend, we are probably being neither as effective at work nor as we could be with a better organised lifestyle. If we constantly feel under the pressure and are always rushing to meet deadlines, we should take up a look at the way we are organising our work. We all have limits on the amount of time and within which we can do a good job; it's more important to make use that time well than to work more hours. There are various techniques, such as delegating to each others and by reducing interruptions, that are commonly used for managing time, and when we put these into practice, we will soon notice the difference.

经常，工作好像占据了我们生活中不相称的一部分，结果是我们不能经常见到我们的朋友或者家人，我们几乎没有时间放松。对于我们中的很多人来说，糟糕的时间管理产生的结果之一是它使得我们的生活失去了平衡，因此我们不能花足够的关注到那些真正重要的事情。但是自相矛盾的事，当工作在一个人的视野中占据了如此压倒性的程度时，我们可能既没有工作效率，也没有能拥有一个有条理的生活方式。如果我们不断的感到压力并总是在最后期限前完成工作，那么我们应该审视一下我们组织工作的方式。我们每个人的工作时间都是有限的，好好利用那段时间比工作更长时间更重要。利用时间有很多不同的技巧，比如说对其他人授权和减少干扰，他们经常用来管理时间，当我们把这些付诸实践，我们将很快发现差异。
