31.Be smart about multitasking. Multitasking can improve efficiency in some areas such as returning and scheduling calls during your drive time, or listening to a self-development audio while exercising; however it can also reduce productivity because you can’t effectively focus on two things at once. It can also be disrespectful. For instance, returning emails while talking to someone on the phone or scanning your phone for messages during a meeting. Ask yourself, “Is my multitasking helping me or hurting me?”
智能多任務處理。多任務處理可以提高在某些領域的效率,如在你的開車時間返回和調度電話,或者在鍛煉的時候聽一個自我發展的音頻,然而它也有可能有效降低生產率,因為你不能有效地專注于兩件事情。它也可能不被尊重。例如,返回電子郵件時有人在電話里或掃描你在開會的的電話消息。問問自己,“多任務處理是幫助我還是傷害我?”
32.Manage interruptions. Every time you are interrupted you lose 10 minutes of productivity. This is the amount of time it takes you to return to the original state of focus before the distraction occurred. Turn off electronic notifications, close your door, and silence your phone when you need an uninterrupted block of time to work on your tasks. It may be difficult at first, but establishing boundaries will help you accomplish more in less time.
管理中斷的事情。每次你打斷你減掉10分鐘的生產力。這是需要你的時間返回到原始狀態的集中分散前發生。關掉電子通知,關閉上你的門,當你需要一個不間斷的時間去從事你的工作時讓你的手機呈靜音狀態。起初也許是困難的,但設定邊界將幫助您在更短的時間內完成更多。
33.Don’t stop everything. When you get interrupted because someone has something that needs to get done, don’t stop everything you are doing to do it now. Consider what you are working on and other priorities and place it where it belongs in the sequence on your To-Do List.
不要停止一切。當你被打斷是因為有人有事情需要你去做的時候,不要停止一切你現在正在做的事情去做。考慮你正在做的事情和其他優先事項,并將其在序列中屬于你的待辦事項清單。
34.Turn off unnecessary notifications. Every notification you get on your computer or phone is an interruption that diverts your attention, stymies productivity, and annoys those around you.
關掉不必要的通知。每個在你的電腦或手機上的通知對你的注意力都是一個打斷,會轉移你的注意力,并阻礙生產力,甚至惹惱你周圍的人。
