Clear papers. Take all the papers on your desk, and around your desk, and put them in your inbox. If they don’t fit, just put them in a single pile. Now go through that pile, one document at a time. Don’t put any document back on the pile — deal with it immediately, and then move on to the next document, until you’ve cleared the pile (this may take several sessions for some people). With each document, your choices are to 1) Trash; 2) Delegate; 3) File immediately, 4) Do it immediately; or 5) Put the action on your to-do list and the document in an “action” folder.
第一、整理文件。將你辦公桌上的所有文件放到你的文件柜中,如果文件太多那就將文件排放整齊就可以,現在按照順序一項一項的處理這些文件,但是不要把任何文件放回文件柜中,而是立刻處理這些文件,然后處理下一個直至將所有文件處理完。將文件分類成:1)無用的,2)歸檔,3)緊急文件,4)馬上處理,或者5)排出任務表并把這些文件放到執行文件夾下。
