如何在25分鐘內(nèi)提高你的工作效率職場英語(2)

If you have to, leave a non-essential meeting 20 minutes early, or stay at the office 20 minutes later. (You would use tactics like this if you had an urgent business call, right? Well, getting to your most important work is an urgent business issue.) Turn off your email and phone. Find an unoccupied conference room or cubicle where no one can find you.

　　如果實在不行，那么就把不重要的會議提前20分鐘，或加20分鐘班。(如果你有緊急商務(wù)電話，也會用這種策略，不是嗎?去做最重要的工作是緊急要務(wù)。)切斷電子郵件，關(guān)掉電話，去一間沒人能找到你的空會議室或小房間。

　　2. Note your progress for the day. (Two minutes) Use a work diary to keep track of the progress you made that day.

　　2、標(biāo)出當(dāng)天的工作進(jìn)展。(2分鐘)用工作日記記錄你當(dāng)天的工作進(jìn)展。

　　It's natural to focus on what you didn't get done and what tasks remain; but, to get the boost of happiness and engagement, you should spend a minute taking stock of what you did accomplish. Even if you simply outlined next steps on that creative project, make note. And, if you weren't able to carve out that 20-minute time-oasis, then make note of any achievement you had during the day, however small. It may not have been work you planned, and it may have been solving someone else's problem, but if you got anywhere on anything useful, that really is meaningful progress, so write it down.

　　專心做你還沒做的工作和剩下來的工作是很自然的事。但為了提升幸福感和努力程度，你應(yīng)該花一分鐘記錄你已經(jīng)完成的工作。即使你只是概述某個創(chuàng)意項目接下來的步驟，也應(yīng)記錄下來。如果你能留出20分鐘的時間空檔，那么就記下你當(dāng)天的成就，不管有多微小。這可能不是你計劃的工作，也可能是解決其他人的問題，但如果你做了有用的工作且確有實際進(jìn)展，那么就把它記錄下來。

　　Allow yourself to savor the sense of accomplishment, and recognize that you made a difference.

　　讓自己享受成就感，并意識到自己有所作為。

　　3. Set up for progress tomorrow. (Three minutes) Use a trick that Ernest Hemingway and other writers have relied on: Leave off in the middle. When you have to stop work for the day on your most important project, end in mid-paragraph, mid-sentence, mid-routine, whatever as long as you have a pretty good sense of how you will finish that paragraph. That way, you'll be able to just slide back into the task the next day even if all you get tomorrow is your 20-minute oasis.

　　3、為明天繼續(xù)工作做好準(zhǔn)備。(3分鐘)使用歐內(nèi)斯特?海明威(Ernest Hemingway)和其他作家的小竅門：干到一半時停下來。當(dāng)你必須停下最重要的工作，半途而止時，那么停下就好，只要你清楚該如何完成剩下的工作。通過這種方式，你第二天可以迅速進(jìn)入工作狀態(tài)，即使你第二天得到的只有20分鐘的空檔。
