8大原因告诉你：你的事情为什么总是做不完？

Your day goes by in a flurry of activity. But despite your busy day, it feels like you aren’t making any progress.
你整天被无数活动缠身。可是即便忙得团团转，你还是觉得自己的工作没任何进展。

You finish your day and it seems like you are further behind that when you started. You have to wonder, “Are you getting anything done?”
一天结束时，你甚至觉得工作进展还早得很。你不禁扪心自问：“我到底有没有做完什么事情？”

You work hard and go from one meeting to the next, one urgent matter to another. However, in the never-ending sea of tasks, you feel like you aren’t keeping up.
你拼命工作，一场赶一场地开会，忙不迭地处理紧急事宜。可是面对永无止境的各种任务，你竟觉得自己毫无进展。

Why are you working so hard, and not getting your work done? The main reason that most people don’t get their work done is that they are working on everything else.
为何你如此拼命，事情却总还是做不完？很多人事情做不完，是因为他们心思总是在别处。

When you finish your day, do you look at your to do list and think, “Why didn’t I get to the important stuff done today?”
一天结束时，你有没有翻翻任务清单问自己：“为什么今天又没把重要的事情做完？”

Here are 8 Reasons that You Aren’t Getting Things Done:
下面就是你事情总是做不完的8个原因：

1. Your Time Management Is Not Habit
没有养成时间管理的习惯

Time management is not something that you turn on and off like a light switch. You don’t use it only when you are up against a crisis. It has to be a built into your lifestyle and habits.
时间管理不像开关，任你开任你关。你只在火烧眉毛时才管理时间。其实，时间管理应该成为你生活方式和习惯的一部分才行。

2. Doing Other People’s Work
多管闲事

If you are doing other people’s work, when are you going to do your own? If you are always putting out other people’s fire drills, you aren’t’ going to get your work done.
如果你总是管别人的闲事，什么时候才能空下来面对自己的事情呢？如果你总是解救别人的燃眉之急，自然无法顾忌到自己的工作了。

3. You Are Disorganized
杂乱无序

By disorganized, I mean your workspace is a mess. It is hard to do that task if you can’t find it. Clean your desk and workspace so that you have room to work and know where your work is.
说你杂乱无序，首先指的是你的办公室一团糟。不改掉这个毛病，你很难处理好任务。只有整理好办公桌和办公室你才能宽敞办公、对工作一目了然。

4. You Don’t Have Deadlines
未设定最后期限

Tasks usually get done… right before they need to be done. Tasks without deadlines aren’t urgent and don’t have to be done. If your tasks don’t have a deadline then you will justify not doing them… yet.
任务总是在最需要完成的时候完成。无期限的任务不必着急，甚至不必去完成。如果你没给任务设定期限，很可能连碰都不碰吧。
