为什么你总在忙？能让你提高工作效率的4件事

You are craving a chocolate bar…or a client is waiting for your proposal. Which one is more important?
你很想吃巧克力棒……或一个客户正在等待你的建议。哪件事更重要？

Unfortunately, thousands of people find themselves in similar situations every day. You have to learn to automatically prioritize things that are more important. This way rather than wasting energy and time, you will focus on these particular things and get them done faster. This will make you more stress-free and will greatly boost your productivity.
不幸的是，成千上万的人发现自己每天都有着这样相似的经历。你需要学着能不假思索地为更重要的事情设定优先级。 这样做不仅不会浪费精力和时间，而且会让你更加关注这些重要的事情，并能更快地做完。这样会减轻你的压力，并能大大提升效率。

4. No Distractions
去除干扰

Sometimes I wonder how much time people end up wasting by: checking email; checking their cellphones; idly chatting with their colleagues; surfing the web.
有时我在想，人们到底浪费了多少时间：查收电子邮件；查看手机；和同事悠闲地聊天；上网闲逛......

All of these things (among others) will make you very uNPRoductive. So when it gets down to finally getting work done, turn off or remove all distractions. Just get rid of them.
所有这些事情都会让你效率低下。所以要想最后能把工作做完，不要做这些干扰你的事情。把它们都去掉吧。
