22.Communicate your schedule. After you’ve taken time to plan and organize your schedule, don’t keep it to yourself. When you need people to do something for you, let them know in advance so they can schedule their time accordingly. You also want to communicate your schedule with the people who rely on you so they know when you are available. This saves time for everyone.
分享你的時(shí)間表。在你花時(shí)間來計(jì)劃和組織你的時(shí)間表,不要把它留給自己。當(dāng)你需要人們?yōu)槟阕鳇c(diǎn)什么,讓他們提前知道,這樣他們就可以提前安排好自己的時(shí)間。你還想與依賴你的人交流你的日程表以便于他們知道你什么時(shí)候是空閑的。這為每個(gè)人都節(jié)省了時(shí)間。
23.Keep a notepad or recorder handy. Save time by writing down or recording future To-Do items and tasks when you think of them. A small pad of paper in your purse, a recorder in your car, or a portfolio that goes wherever you go is all you need.
手邊放著記事本或錄音機(jī)。通過寫下或記錄你想到未來要做的事項(xiàng)和任務(wù)來節(jié)約時(shí)間。你錢包的小墊紙,車上的錄音機(jī),或文件夾,無論你去哪里都是你所需要的。
24.Maintain one calendar or appointment book. Keeping an appointment book improves your productivity and reduces the risk of forgetting things. If you have more than one calendar, combine them. Maintaining multiple calendars can be confusing and is a sure-fire way to miss appointments and deadlines.
維護(hù)一個(gè)日歷表或預(yù)約簿。保持預(yù)約書可以提高你的生產(chǎn)率和減少忘記事情的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。如果你有超過一個(gè)日歷,把它們聯(lián)合起來。維護(hù)多個(gè)日歷系統(tǒng)可能被混淆,并肯定是錯(cuò)過約會(huì)和最后期限。
25.Keep an activity log. One way to begin using your time more efficiently is to know how it’s being spent. Just as you track expenses for financial budgeting purposes, it’s wise to maintain an activity log to assess productivity. Keep a time journal or download inexpensive time-tracking software from the Internet. Try this: for one week, record how you spend your time. You will be amazed at how much time is spent on things that won’t help you achieve your goals.
保持一個(gè)活動(dòng)日志。開始更有效的使用你的時(shí)間的一種方法是了解它是如何被花掉的。正如您跟蹤費(fèi)用財(cái)務(wù)預(yù)算的目的,這是保持一個(gè)活動(dòng)日志來評(píng)估生產(chǎn)力的明智的方法。保持時(shí)間雜志或從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上下載便宜的時(shí)間跟蹤軟件。試試這個(gè):一個(gè)星期,記錄如何花掉你的時(shí)間。你將會(huì)驚訝有多少時(shí)間花在那些不會(huì)幫助你實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)上。
