时间总是不够用？关于时间管理的18条小建议

Sometimes we are so engrossed in our work that we lose track of time. Having a huge clock in front of you will keep you aware of the time at the moment.
有时我们工作时太全神贯注了以至于都忘记了时间。 在面前摆放一个大的时钟能让你意识到当前的时间。

8. Set reminders 15 minutes before.
把提醒时间提前15分钟。

Most calendars have a reminder function. If you’ve an important meeting to attend, set that alarm 15 minutes before.
大部分的日历都有提醒功能。如果你要参加重要的会议，让闹铃提前15分钟响。

9. Focus.
集中注意力。

Are you multi-tasking so much that you’re just not getting anything done? If so, focus on just one key task at one time. Close off all the applications you aren’t using. Close off the tabs in your browser that are taking away your attention. Focus solely on what you’re doing. You’ll be more efficient that way.
你是不是在进行多任务处理，但是什么也没有做完？如果这样的话，一次只做一件主要的任务。关掉你不用的应用。把浏览器上吸引你注意力的浏览窗口都关闭掉。把注意力集中在你做的事情上。这样你的效率会更高。

10. Block out distractions.
阻挡住让你分心的事情。

What’s distracting you in your work? Instant messages? Phone ringing? Text messages popping in? I hardly ever use chat nowadays. The only times when I log on is when I’m not intending to do any work. Otherwise it gets very distracting. When I’m doing important work, I also switch off my phone. Calls during this time are recorded and I contact them afterward if it’s something important. This helps me concentrate better.
什么事情使你在工作时分心？即时消息？电话铃声？跳出来的短消息？我现在几乎不使用聊天工具。只有在我不打算工作时我才登录到聊天工具上，否则的话会让人分心。当我在做重要工作的时候，我也会关掉电话。这段时间的来电会被录音下来，把重要的事情做完后我会联系他们。这样我能更好地专心工作。

11. Track your time spent.
记录所用的时间。

Egg Timer is a simple online countdown timer. You key in the amount of time you want it to track (example: “30 minutes”, “1 hour”) and it’ll count down in the background. When the time is up,the timer will beep. Great way to be aware of your time spent.
Egg Timer是一个简单的在线倒数计时器。你输入想让它倒数的时间（比如：“30分钟”，“1小时”），它会在后台倒数。当时间到时，计时器会发出蜂鸣声，这是知道所用时间很好的一种方式。

12. Don’t fuss about unimportant details.
不要计较那些不重要的细节。

You’re never get everything done in exactly the way you want. Trying to do so is being ineffective.
你不可能让所有的事情都以你想要的方式完成。尝试这样做会让你效率低下。
