把握住时间:10分钟内可以完成的10件小事

Too many people say that they do not have enough time in their day to get their stuff done. Yet, they let their time slip by bit-by-bit. Minute-by-minute.
很多人都说他们在一天里没有足够的时间去完成一些事情。然而，他们却在不知不觉中让时间一分一秒的流逝。

For many people, it is this “in-between” time that becomes a major source of lost productivity.
对很多人来说，这就是造成效率下降的一个主要原因——零碎时间没有利用好。

Let’s not underestimate what we can get done in just 10 minutes. These little bursts of productivity can drive your whole day.
我们不要小看短短的10分钟可以完成的事情，完成这些小事可以提高你整天的工作效率。

So, here are 10 things you can do with those 10 minutes:
所以这里给大家列出了在10分钟内可以做的10件事情：

Respond to 10 emails
回复10封邮件

Keep it short, and remember that not all email messages deserve a response. 10? Yes, and be ruthless with that inbox.
回复要简单一些，记住并不是所有的邮件都需要回复。10封？是的，对于收件箱内的邮件要知道取舍。

Respond to 3 phone calls
回复3个电话

Return that call. Reach out to that colleague that you need to meet up with. And schedule that doctor’s appointment that you have been putting off for 6 months.
要回复电话，给那个需要见面的同事回个电话。并且要安排好已经推迟了6个月的与医生的会面。

Pay some bills online
在线支付账单

In just a few minutes, you can pay your bills with online billpay. You’re not still dealing with paper bills, are you?
只需要几分钟，你就可以在网上完成付款。你不会一直还在处理纸质账单吧？

Catch up with a co-worker
和同事聊聊天

10 minutes early to that meeting? This can be one of the best times to have a meaningful conversation with another colleague. Re-connect with someone. At a recent meeting I had the chance to reconnect with one of our executives. Someone who I might not normally have a chance to chat with on a personal level.
会议开始之前还有10分钟？这可能是你和同事展开一个有意义的会话最佳的时间段了，可以重新和一些人取得联系。在最近的一次会议上我就有机会重新联系上了我的一位主管。他是那种我一般私下不会有机会能与之攀谈的人。
