掌控自己时间和生活周章的9个小妙招

1. Embrace Target="_blank" >you. Fear
You are not, contrary to what your mother may have told you, different from the rest of us. We all get distracted. We all get annoyed when a productive moment is interrupted. We all get fed up when scheduled events don’t go as planned. If you allow trepidation to sneak into your mind at the prospect of distractions, you’ll cripple your productive abilities.

Fearing distractions also fosters resentment against the ones doing the distracting. Recognize that you will be distracted sometimes and accept those distractions as opportunities to improve. You can’t stop distractions but you can keep them from taking over your day. This is your time!
鼓起勇气,不要害怕
你就是你,和你母亲口中要求的那个人,身边的其他人都不一样。每个人都会有分心的时候,告诉自己,没有人能做到一直聚精会神,全神贯注,你也不例外。

2. Plan For Interruptions
Effective planning is a cornerstone of the productive lifestyle. Planning for interruptions might seem impossible. Does it to you? Here’s an easy visualization that will help you get started with your planning:

Start each work session by drawing a few squares on a small piece of scrap paper. These represent distractions that will almost certainly pop up. As you encounter and conquer distractions, put a check mark in the appropriate box. After awhile you’ll be able to do this in your head. Sounds easy, right? An expected distraction has no power over your day. You still have control.
为那些打岔的事做准备
一个有效的计划必须包括以外情况所需的时间,虽然这看起来很难做到。每天,你都提前在便条纸上,留下解决难题的时间,当碰到一个难题时,就记下来,常此以往,你就清楚自己可能会遇到的问题了。是不是很简单呢,这样你的生活就很难被打断了。

3. Delegate And Postpone
Once you’ve identified an interruption as something that needs attention and not just a nascent longing to goof off, try to postpone your involvement. The brute way of doing this is to shout out, “I don’t have time right now. Don’t bother me!”

The classy option is a bit more involved. Take a moment to understand what the distraction involves. Is somebody dying? Is there a deadline you’ve forgotten? Is there a networking opportunity here? If it turns out that you’re not facing an emergency, postpone your involvement and delegate as much of the detail work to somebody with available resources.
委托或者推迟
如果你的计划被一件复杂的事给绊住了,很难脱身,如果不是很急或必须你来完成的事的话,试着交给其他人去完成。

4. Attack Procrastination
It’s safe to say that most of us welcome far more distractions than we should. Why? Because we’re chronic procrastinators and distractions offer us a way to slack off without being overtly lazy. The simplest way to attack procrastination is to synthesize urgency with truncated deadlines. If it normally takes you 3 hours to do something, hit the bathroom, grab a glass of water, set a timer for 90 minutes, and tear into your work! This won’t work for every project but it’s a lot of fun when it does!
拒绝拖延
每个人都有惰性,打扰我们的事情正好得了我们拖延的借口,但我们必须拒绝它,告诉自己,如果这件事最迟3小时完成,你就设定一个计划在2小时内完成。

5. Split Your Day Into Targets
Distractions are most dangerous to the person working without short-term goals. You can keep yourself out of the danger zone by setting targets throughout your day. You’ll probably only need to do this for tasks you really don’t want to complete. For example:

Send uncomfortable email by 9am
Complete meeting agenda by 12pm
Say pleasant thing to annoying boss by 2pm
The power in this process is that you now have time-sensitive targets to steer toward once you’ve escaped distractions. That 8:45am phone conversation that might have gone on for an hour? Nixed by the email deadline. Crops dying on Farmville at 11am? Overruled by the meeting agenda!
定一个日计划
正常的工作被打断后,一天的任务就很难完成了,除非你提前给自己定了一写小任务。每一天给自己定几个小任务可以让自己更容易收获。

6. Limit Inputs
The more you limit channels people can use to distract you, the less likely it is that you’ll be distracted. It takes strength of character to ignore social media and your ever-friendly smartphone. It takes trust in the people who work for you to step away from the rush of business and crunch numbers in the back room. It’s hard to disconnect because we often feel a tinge of irrelevance when we step out of the rush.

Do it. Your results will be proof that it was worth the effort.
减少受干扰的机会。你越是减少与容易干扰自己的人的接触的机会,你就越不容易受干扰。

7. Batch Outputs
Responding to emails in batches and scheduling a block of time to make phone calls can seem like a dreary way to do business but it’s a highly effective way to keep distractions at arms length. Batching is even more effective in minimizing the collateral damage caused by Twitter and other social networks if you jump in without a set time frame.

To get started, make a list of the things you must do every day to maintain good communication in your business and throughout your social networks. Give each tool or action it’s own time slot and allow a bit of margin at the end. You won’t get the momentary social high of constant real-time interactions but the long-term benefits will make up for your loss.
分批完成
每天的一开始,弄清楚自己要做哪些事,并划出固定的时间来进行人际交流,这么做在短时间里好像是没必要的,但是长期来看你还是很受益的。

8. Communicate Your Schedule To Others
When it comes to managing people-based distractions, communication is key. Need to finish a project? Let the people in your work group know that you’ll be off-limits until a certain time. Trying to finish a freelance project in a houseful of kids? Let them know that unless somebody is dying or the house is burning down, you’ll murder a kitten if they interrupt you.

Obviously, if you haven’t taken the time to create a realistic schedule for yourself, sharing that schedule won’t help as much.
与别人交流。当你的计划被别人打断的时候,交流也很重要,你可以告诉对方,你正在赶一个项目,让对方了解你暂时无法脱身。

9. Begin With The Main Point
When you encounter a distraction, get to the heart of it immediately. Your “get to the point” style may go over badly with some people who prefer to give back story before sharing their main point. Apologize for any possible rudeness and ask for the main point anyway.

Once you know the main point you can ask for supporting information and make a smart decision about what to do before getting back to work.
分清主次,抓住要害。
当你别意外的事干扰的时候,试着去找这件事的核心,如果可以,你直接问一下知道的人,虽然这看起来不是很礼貌,但会节省你的时间。知道关键点之后,你就可以收集相关的信息,准备接下来做的事。
