It might not be your cup of tea, but adhering to a daily plan is the only sensible way to accomplish goals. Try it -- you might like it.
這或許不符合你的風格，但是遵守每天的計劃是完成目標唯一合理的方式。嘗試一下，你會喜歡的。
Step 1 Write it down
1.寫下來
Draw columns on a sheet of paper to track activities, time devoted to each, and sudden emergencies. Document a normal day to determine which activities go as planned and what delays result from interruptions.
在一張紙上明確地列出來，需要哪些活動，每一項活動需要投入的時間，以及突發事件。一天結束之后記錄一下，哪些活動按計劃完成了，哪些活動受到擾亂而延誤了。
Make a daily to-do list that prioritizes your tasks, so you know which are the most important.
每天制定計劃可以讓你對各項任務進行優先排序，所以你知道哪些事情是最重要的。
Step 2 Guard against procrastination
2.預防延誤
Guard against procrastination by sticking to the new schedule no matter what. Detail action steps to better streamline activities, delegate some responsibilities, group some tasks, or eliminate diversions.
一定要堅持新的時間表，避免延誤。將要做的事情細節化，簡化一些活動，分配一些責任，安排一些任務，或取消一些消遣娛樂活動。
Step 3 Get away from distractions
3.遠離讓你分心的事情
Choose a place free from distraction and stay on task. Let everyone know this time is sacred and that you are not to be disturbed.
選擇一個沒有干擾的地方來完成任務。讓所有人都知道這段時間是莊嚴的，你不能被打擾。
Avoid checking email all day -- a habitual distraction that loses time. Check only at certain times throughout the day as part of the overall plan.
不要一整天都查看郵件——這個習慣性的行為非常浪費時間。只在每天特定的時間查看一下郵件，作為整個計劃的一部分。
Step 4 Limit multitasking
4.不要多項任務同時進行
Limit multitasking to maintain focus and momentum. Finish the job at hand before moving to the next.
避免多項任務同時進行，集中精力。在進行下一項任務之前先把手頭的工作完成。
Step 5 Reserve time to review and plan
5.預留檢查和計劃時間
Reserve a hour or two each week to review assignments, notes, and your schedule. Adapt and redraw the monthly or long-term objectives to accommodate new challenges. Whether you're a student or an office worker, better time management will help you reach those lofty goals!
每周留出一兩個小時的時間來回顧你的任務，筆記和時間表。調整并制定新的月度或更長期的目標來適應新的挑戰。無論你是學生還是辦公室工作人員，更好的時間管理將幫助你達到那些崇高的目標。
A 2007 Gallup poll found more than 30 percent of workers believed that their fellow employees wasted 2 to 3 hours a day.
2007年一份民意調查顯示，超過30%的工作人員認為他們的同事每天浪費兩到三個小時的時間。
