节约时间小妙招：10种方法让你今天节约10分钟

6. End the Meeting on Time – Don’t let that meeting go over its time limit. Don’t let it eat into the rest of your day. End it on time if it is your meeting. If you are stuck in someone else’s meeting, here is a magical phrase, “Excuse me, I have another appointment.”
准时结束会议——不要让会议超过了它原定的时间限制，不要让它霸占你其他的时间。 如果这是你主持的会议，就要准时结束它。如果你被困在了其他人的会议中，有一个灵活的借口帮你摆脱：“不好意思，我还有另外一个会面安排。”

7. Don’t Complain – Complaining doesn’t get anything done. Save your breath. Instead, do something. Take action. Take those 10 minutes and invest them in something productive.
不要抱怨——抱怨不会让你完成任何事儿。省省力气吧。做其他的事情，行动起来。利用这10分钟把它们用在更有效的事情中。

8. Bring your lunch – Do you go out to lunch every day? How much time are you spending driving down the road to wait and eat mediocre food? Pack your lunch and eat at the office. You will regain time and might just get to go home early.
自带午餐——你是不是每天都出去吃午饭？你要为了一顿普通的饭，浪费多少时间在开车去吃饭的路上和等待上菜的间歇？自带午餐然后在办公室里吃。你就可以回收时间，然后就可以早点下班回家。

9. Skip That Line – Where do you spend time in line? Again, moving your schedule up by 10 minutes might just save you twice that, whether it is running errands, at the doctor’s office, or even at the elevator.
跳过排队等待——你在哪里花费时间排队等待？同样的，把你的计划提前十分钟可能可以帮你节省两倍的时间，无论你是出差在外还是在医院甚至是在电梯里。

10. Get Help – Don’t let your stubbornness or pride keep you from asking for help when you need it. Instead, of wasting time on a problem you are having difficulty solving, get some assistance.
寻求帮助——当你需要帮助时，不要让你的固执和骄傲阻止你寻求帮助，你应该去寻求帮助而不是在一个你很难解决的问题中浪费时间。

Add Up Your Time
合计你的时间

Take back the time in your day 10 minutes at a time. It adds up pretty quick. Do just six of these and you will have an extra hour in your day today. Then you’ll have to ask, “What would I do with an extra hour today?”
每天节省10分钟，它会积累得很快。只要节省六次这样的时间，你就能在你的生活中有额外的1小时时间。然后你会情不自禁地问，“今天这1个小时我做什么好呢？”
