早一点再早一点:15个小贴士让你早起早到早完成
保卫你的时间——“早起鸟”类型的人会好好利用自己的时间,而不会让别人浪费掉。确保不要让别人偷走你的时间。
Make Decisions – The Early Bird makes decisions. He or she has often already completed a task while others are still trying to decide what to do.
果断决定——“早起鸟”类型的人会果断做出决定。当别人还在犹豫该做什么的时候,他/她通常已经把任务完成了。
Look Ahead at the Calendar – Don’t let things sneak up on you. If you are only looking at today’s calendar, you will be blindsided by upcoming calendar items. Look at today and down the road.
提前规划日程——别让事情一件接一件追着你。如果你眼里只有今天的日程,你可能会被接下来马上几天马上要做的事情打得你措手不及。看着当下,面朝未来。
Overestimate Time for Tasks – When doing something for the first time, it will often take 4-5X’s what you estimated. Allow for this extra time.
为任务预留多一些时间——第一次做某件事的时候,通常比你预计的要多花4-5倍的时间。预留出这部分时间。
Use a Packlist – Using lists lets you perform repetitive tasks quicker and more accurately. Packing is one of those tasks that truly benefits from a preset list. Leveraging a packlist allows you to pack in a fraction of the time without forgetting anything important.
制作任务列表——用列表列出所做事项,会让你更快更准确地完成重复性任务。事先制定任务列表有利于将零碎时间打包安排,而且不会忘记任何重要的事情。
Pack the Day Before - Always, always, always pack the night before. Never pack the morning of a trip. Inevitably, you will realize at the last moment that you do not have something.
提前一天打包行李——一定一定一定要在头天晚上把行李打包好。绝不要在出发旅行那天早晨再来打包。否则你会不可避免地在最后一刻意识到还缺了点东西。
Plan Your Day – Taking a few moments in the morning each day to plan your day can prevent complications and life friction. A planned day is always more efficient than making it up as you go along.
为一天做出计划——早晨花一点时间来计划一天的安排,可以避免很多麻烦和摩擦。有计划的一天总会比随心所欲更有效率。
Prepare For You Day – Planning is good, but preparing is better. Not only knowing what you are going to do, but getting ready for those activities. Whether it is reviewing materials for a meeting, or packing the essentials for an errand.
为一天做好准备——有计划是好的,有准备就更好了。不光要知道你打算做什么,还要为这些事情做好准备。不管是复习一场会议的材料,还是为出差收拾行李。
