Time-management tips

時間管理技巧

Expectations to do things perfectly are stifling.

預想完美地完成任務會讓你倍感壓力。

General George S. Patton once said,"A good plan executed now is better than a perfect plan executed nextweek."

喬治巴頓二世曾說：“正在執行的好計劃比下周執行的完美計劃好的多。”

More work hours doesn't mean more productivity. Use constraints as opportunities.

工作時間長不代表產量高。把約束當做機遇。

Don't kid yourself into thinking that sitting at your desk will somehow extract work from you. Do whatever you can to finish your current task by the end of regular work hours instead of working into the night.

不要想著坐在桌子前就是在工作。在工作時間把當前的任務完成，不要熬夜工作。

Separate brainless and strategic tasksto become more productive.

將非腦力勞動和腦力勞動分開，這樣效率更高。

Ideally, you can brainstorm your ideas and then execute them. If you're constantly stopping your flow of work to rethink something, you're slowing yourself down.

理想狀態下，你可以有很多好點子并一一執行。如果你停下手頭上的工作去回想的話，你自然就慢下來了。
