高效率人生必须杜绝的十件事

　　参加不必要的会议

　　Meetings are the single biggest time-waster in the workplace. Practice the “right to decline” when you do not need to be in attendance。

　　会议无疑是工作中最浪费时间的项目。当面对不必要的会议时，试着学会去合理地拒绝。

　　Work During Meetings

　　在开会时工作

　　I will check my tech at the door during meetings. No open laptops. No phones or tablets. And no, you can’t work during my meeting either。

　　我通常会在会议间隙查看电子设备。开会时，我不开笔记本、不看手机、不用平板电脑。同样，别人在参加我的会议时，也要做到这一点。

　　Put If Off

　　拖延症

　　When it comes to the tasks I don’t want to do, I will adopt a “Just Do It Now” attitude. Do those unsavory tasks early in the day and get them out-of-the-way。

　　当遇到我不想做的任务时，我会带着“所幸现在就把它做完吧”的态度去做。把不喜欢的事情迅速解决掉，接下来的时间里你就可以眼不见心不烦了。

　　Take On Unnecessary Tasks

　　接受不必要的任务指派

　　I will say “No” where appropriate to tasks that are outside my domain. After all, you can’t get your work done if you are doing everyone else’s job。

　　面对我职责范围以外的任务，我会果断说“不”。毕竟，如果连自己的事都没做好，又怎么能去做别的事呢？

　　Start Before I Finish

　　半途而废

　　I will complete tasks to done, before starting new ones. Better to have finished the few important ones, that to have started lots of little ones。

　　一个任务没完成以前，我不会开始做新的。先把最重要的几件事做完，剩下的零碎琐事就好办了。
