7个简单小改变 让痛苦的周五更有效率

Friday is a great day to stay off the phone. Instead of talking on the phone, go see people in person. For those who are remote workers, this may not be possible. But you can try other more personal ways to communicate such as Facetime or Skype. The extra effort always pays off in the relationships built. You can’t communicate at the same level when you can’t see someone.
在周五应该远离电话。要亲自与人见面，而不是用电话交谈。对于那些远程工作者来说这或许不太可能，然而你可以尝试其他更亲近的方法来与他们交流，例如Facetime或Skype。额外的努力总是值得的，这有利于人际关系的建立。如果你无法见到某人，你们是不可能在同一个层次上交流的。

5. Interruptions
干扰

One of the best ways to reclaim your Friday is to limit interruptions. Find a place to do uninterrupted work. Maybe it means reserving a meeting room or even going offsite. Of course, you should make sure your team know how to reach you for a true emergency before you “go silent” .
改造周五的最佳方法之一就是限制干扰。找一个地方进行不被干扰的工作。这可能意味着预订一间会议室，甚至走出你的办公场所。当然，在你“隐身沉默” 之前要跟团队打好招呼，让他们知道发生紧急情况的时候要去哪儿找你。

6. Unnecessary Paperwork
不必要的文书工作

Keep Friday for the important work, such as the creative work that you can’t get large time blocks for during the week. Leave the unnecessary paperwork for later. Much of the paper-shuffling is unneeded in the big scheme of things.
将周五留给重要的工作。就是那些你似乎无法在一周当中留出大段时间的创造性工作。将那些不必要的文书工作推后。许多我们所做的拖拖拉拉的文书工作，其实在大的框架计划中根本不需要。

7. Work Hours
工作时间

I am a big proponent of the “results oriented work environment.” Get your work done and get out. There is no reason to expand your work to fit the time. In a ROWE, those who have been working hard all week can go home early. The rest can stay and finish their work. :)
我强烈拥护以结果为导向的工作氛围。完成工作就走。没有理由将工作延长来适应上班时间。在以结果为导向的工作环境中，那些一周都勤奋工作的人可以提早回家。其他人则继续呆在办公室完成他们的工作。

Don’t let your Fridays fall prey to the chaotic end of the work week. With a little effort, Fridays can be the most productive day of the week.
不要让你的周五成为混乱结束一周工作的牺牲品。多做一点点努力，就能让周五成为一周当中最高效的一天。
