为什么你总在忙？能让你提高工作效率的4件事.doc

No matter what you do, doesn’t it seem like there are not enough hours in the day? That’s where I was a couple of years ago. I used to pull all-nighters, and was working 7 days a week to finish all my tasks. I simply had no time to spare.
无论你做什么,你是不是觉得每天的时间都不够用?几年前我也是这样。为了完成任务,有时我需要熬夜加班,一周工作七天一点儿空余时间也没有。
The strategies which I learned along the way are what I hope to share with you today. Here are the 4 main things I do consistently to be more productive.
今天我想和你分享的,就是我所学到的高效工作的一些策略。下面是我让自己高效工作而经常做的4件事情:
1. I Don’t Multitask
不要同时处理很多任务
The greatest “executioner of my productivity” was that I had convinced myself that I was multitasking — and therefore was doing work faster.
我之前工作效率最大的硬伤,是我认为自己可以“多管其下”——觉得这样工作效率会高。
Multitasking is not a real thing. What you are really doing when you are (apparently) multitasking is going back and forth between two separate tasks. So rather than giving 100% to one task at a time you are going back and forth between tasks, giving each task a monumentally less amount of focus. This simply means that you end up doing both tasks at less than 100% — and you gain a whole lot of stress and tension.
多任务处理并不存在。实际的情况是,当你进行多任务处理的时候,你要不断在两个单独的任务间往返。你不是把100%的注意力都集中到一项任务上,而是在各项任务中不断往返,每次只分给一项任务很少的注意力。这就意味着到最后这些任务也不能完全完成,你还给自己增加了很多压力和紧张。
2. Break Things Down
把事情分解
Okay…so imagine a really large meatball. Got it? Good. According to animal instincts, t
