做一个高效率的人

1. Create a plan for each day--use the plan to organize your day, but don't be married to the plan--remain flexible.

每天做一个计划——用这个计划来安排你的日子，但不要过于死板，要保持灵活性。

2. Keep a list of your priorities in view. Measure your to-dos and planned actions against them.

将考虑中的事情按主次列一个表，衡量它们的重要性并且有计划地对待。

3. Ask of each new task before you: "Who is the best person to be doing this task?"

对你面临每一个新任务的时候问一句，“谁是完成这个任务的最佳人选？”

4. Ask specifically for what you want, including conditions of satisfaction, and timeframes. Don't expect people to read your mind.

明确的提出你需要的东西，包括满意的条件以及时间的构成。不要指望别人了解你的心思。

5. Skip the morning news on TV. It's primarily negative. Skip the late night news on TV. It's even more negative than the morning news. Go to sleep earlier, read, or write a journal.

不要看早间新闻, 它们大多是消极的。不看晚间新闻, 它们更消极。早点上床，阅读或写一篇日记。

6. Start each day with 30-60 minutes of reading--business, educational or inspirational.

每天早上阅读30-60分钟——可以是商业的，有教育意义的或是启发心智的书籍。

7. Refine and clarify your vision. Where are your actions taking your organization?

精练地阐明你的见解。你行为的最终目的是什么？

8. Whatever you are currently complaining about--stop it.

无条件放弃你现下所有的抱怨。

9. Use the 80/20 rule to your advantage.

用80/20的准则对待你的收益。（注：80/20的准则——销售额的80%来自20%的客户或20%的产品，停止把你80%的时间花在只有20%生意的80%的顾客和产品上, 将你80%的时间化在带来80%生意的的顾客和产品上。）

10. Work on one item at a time.

在一个时间内集中精力做一件事情。
