2014-05-09来源:lifehack
6. Make Friday an email-free day
让周五成为“屏蔽邮件”的一天。

If you are in a managerial role, consider what many companies have done by banning all internal emails on Fridays. Everybody gets more work done. You can benefit enormously from this. Think about the following reasons many companies are now advocating for this:
如果你位居管理层,那就想想有多少公司已经禁止在周五发内部邮件了吧。这样所有人都能完成更多工作,你肯定能受益匪浅。看看下面这些理由吧,很多公司都在大张旗鼓:

It makes more use of the office phone system
可以更充分地利用办公电话系统。

It reduces digital clutter
减少数据混乱。

It encourages more face-to-face interaction with coworkers
鼓励员工多进行面对面交流。

7. Friday is the day to change your routine
在周五改变日常例事。

Colleagues are more relaxed and more open to informal chats, lunch appointments and discussions on Fridays. You can try changing your routine by:
在周五,同事们都比较放松,也更乐意闲聊或讨论午餐约会等等。你可以试着改变日常例事:

Gravitating to people who inspire you
和激励你的人相处。

Avoiding the whiners and the rumor mongers
避开牢骚满腹和八卦嚼舌的人。

Changing your office route so that you meet new colleagues you do not normally see
改变一下办公惯例,这样你或许能结识平时不太注意的同事。

Asking colleagues if you can shadow them for a few hours. You may feel that you want more input on the financial and marketing areas, for example.
问同事你是否可以一个人呆几个小时。比如你可以说,你需要更投入地做好财务和市场营销部分的工作。

Changing your routine and meeting new coworkers will be stimulating and help you to get out of the rut. Friday is a great day to do it as people are in a better mood with the weekend coming up.
改变日常惯例或结识新同事可以激发热情,使你摆脱庸常。周五绝对是个好机会,因为周末就要到来,大家心情都比较愉快。

8. Offer to help your boss or a colleague
主动帮助老板或同事。

Because you have been so productive on Monday, you now have some spare time on Friday. Instead of surfing the Internet and catching up on Facebook, why not earn some brownie points by offering to help your manager with an outstanding task that he or she is trying to finish, or asking a team member what help they need.
鉴于你周一时的工作效率很高,现在周五可以比较空闲了。与其上网浏览Facebook,何不主动帮助上司解决他/她正努力完成的任务,或者问问小组同事有没有什么需要帮忙的,给自己赢些好印象呢?

9. Finish off mindless tasks
结束漫无目的的任务。

Friday is a great day to do routine tasks. They are fairly easy and it is the end of the week, when energy is inevitably low. This could be anything from tidying up digital files, to working on reports, minutes, performance assessments, and accounting.
周五是适合处理日常琐事的好机会。琐事做起来比较容易,而周五又是上班的最后一天,精力显然不太充沛。琐事既可以是整理电子文档,也可以是处理报告、会议记录、业绩评估或会计核算。

By doing this, you are freeing up Monday and the rest of the week when these could be irritating obstacles to one of your top priorities. A missed deadline could creep up on you.
这样的话,下周一你就能轻松得多,接下来也不会因为琐事造成的繁琐而影响到重要任务。不然错过截止期限可就麻烦了。

10. Show appreciation
表达感激。

Last, but not least, finish the week with a flourish. Send an email (or a thank-you note if you still know how to use a pen!) to a colleague who has performed well, or who has gone the extra mile to help the team out. By just saying thank you will increase motivation and good will, which will contribute to making your workplace a happier and more productive place.
最后,用感激的言辞结束一周吧。如果乐意,可以手写一张感谢便条,要么就发一封邮件,感谢表现出色的同事或竭力为团队出力的员工。简单道一句感谢不仅表达激励与友善,还能让工作氛围更愉快、工作效率更高。

Now that you have finished your week by planning wisely and getting rid of a lot of clutter, you are in pole position to have an awesome Monday. Enjoy it for a change!
通过明智规划与摆脱杂乱,现在你已经结束了这一周,并且即将迎来美妙的周一。享受这一改变吧!

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“充实度过每一天。虽难会有疏忽与蠢行,但你已经尽己所能;所以请不要放在心上。明天又将是新的一天,请平和喜悦地去开始,并做好再次犯傻的准备吧。”~ 拉尔夫•瓦多尔•爱默生
