如何管理好自己的时间?

　　Watch the Distractions

　　Dudes get distracted easily, we know this. If you have some work to get done on the computer, but can’t resist TNT’s afternoon lineup, keep the TV off while working. This goes for the radio, hanging out at Starbucks or working while sitting on the beach. Actually, that one would be pretty sweet.

　　别走神

　　我们都很了解，人都是很容易分心的。如果你的工作是和电脑打交道，但是你不能抵制TNT下午的电视节目，你就得在你工作的时候吧电视机关了。不过你可以在星巴克闲逛或者在海滩边坐着的时候听听广播，这样应该很惬意吧！

　　Give Work to Someone Else

　　We don’t take on too much work ourselves because we’re just lazy. But we know a lot of you out there keep piling work on yourself. Learn how to delegate and give work to other people at work, or to roommates at home. Little things, like washing dishes can suck 10 minutes out of your day. Look for areas to pass the task baton to others.

　　让别人帮你分担工作

　　我们不要自己承担太多的工作，人都是慵懒的。但是我们了解很多，我们让自己积压了太多的事情。工作时学会将任务分担给自己的同事，或者在家的时候让室友帮着分担一下。一些像洗完的小事就可以为你每天节省十多分钟，在适当的场合将工作让别人分担一下，这个也是比较明智的。

　　Sleep

　　Many of us feel that afternoon lull where our head starts to bob at our desk. We’re bored with work and we just had to stay up last night to see Angelina Jolie on Letterman. We then spend the next hour trying to fight off sleep and getting refocused. To avoid this, make sure to get enough sleep every night...except the nights when Angelina is on.

　　睡眠

　　我们之中许多人都会在下午间歇的时候在桌边打瞌睡。我们厌倦了工作，而我们却能在昨晚熬夜看Angelina Jolie。我们会强打精神、重新集中精力来工作。为了避免这种情况，我们应该确保每天晚上都有足够的睡眠--除了Angelina又出演了。

　　Plan Ahead

　　Each night, there needs to be a moment where you review what will be happening the next day. If you have somewhere to be at 8:30am, plan accordingly. Set your alarm to wake up earlier. Plan your route to avoid as much of the morning traffic rush as possible. It will only take a couple of minutes to refer to your schedule, but will save you tons of time the next day.

　　提前计划好

　　每天晚上花一点时间想想明天将要做什么，如果你要在八点半到达到某个地方，协调好你的计划。将你的闹钟设置的时间稍微提前一点，计划好你的路线，尽可能避免早上塞车。虽然这会花你几分钟时间来考虑，但是这会为你明天有效地节约时间。

　　Priorities

　　Making sure you are attacking a task in the order it should be conquered is also key to managing your time. Alphabetizing your record collection instead of doing your taxes is probably not a smart move. Make a list of things you need to do -- no matter how small -- and put them in order. You can then attack projects and tasks as they move up the list instead of trying to do pieces of projects at the same time. That just keeps you unfocused and wasting time.

　　优先考虑的事情

　　确保你的计划井井有条，让它有说服力，这也是合理安排时间的关键。收集音乐磁盘而不去完成你的税务很明显是不明智计划。将你要做的事情--无论是多么小的事情--都一一按顺序列在单子上。这样你就可以开始构建你的时间安排了，优先考虑一些事你就不会浪费时间做一些琐碎的事情了，这样你就不会一下子有过多的事情聚到一起浪费你的时间。
