2015-02-03
Do you know what your most important tasks are, right now?
现在你是否清楚自己最重要的任务是什么吗?
Perhaps they are lost in your todo list which is a mile long.
也许它们已经在你的日程表里尘封好久了。
Or maybe you haven't written them down, even though they are weighing on your mind.
即使你知道这些事情一直重重的压在心头,但也许你还没将这些任务写下来吧。
What are your top tasks today and what will it take to actually get them done?
今天最重要的任务是什么?要怎么做呢?
What Are Your Most Important Tasks?
最重要的任务是什么?
Your todo list is seemingly endless.
日程表上的待办事项已经很多了。
You have more todos than you can possible get done today or any day.
每天需要完成的事项都要比你能完成的多很多。
"You can't do it all, but you can get your most important tasks done."
“要是不能全部做完,那就挑最重要的来做。”
Do you work frantically through the day only to find at the end that you have started many tasks but completed few? Or perhaps, the ones you did complete were of lesser priority, and your most important work remains undone?
你疯狂的工作了一天最后也只发现:很多事情都已经着手做了,但是真正做完的却是很少?或者说你完成得任务也不是很重要,最重要的任务还是没有做?
Often, it seems that your most important tasks are the last ones to get your time and attention.
似乎往往最重要的任务你反而没有花时间,没有引起足够的重视。
How do you ensure that you accomplish your most important work?
你怎么能知道你做完的任务就是最重要的呢?
Pick Your 5 Most Important Tasks
挑出最重要的5项工作
Each day spotlight your five most important tasks that need to get done.
每天都画出需要完成的最重要的5件事。
Then focus your time and attention on those tasks first and foremost.
然后先花时间和精力去做这几件事。
Here are some tips to ensure that your 5 most important tasks get done today:
这里有些小方法:
Order Your Todo List -
给你日程表中的工作排序——
Very few people do this. Order your todo list by priority. Don't leave your list in random order. Make sure that your important tasks are at the top.
几乎很少有人这样做。把要完成的工作排好序,不要随意的排序,要让重要的工作排在最前面。
Pick Your Top 5 Tasks –
选出最重要的5项——
Determine your "Top 5" tasks that must get done today.
明确今天必须要做完的5件事。
Make Them Non-Negotiable –
要坚定不移——
Make a commitment that you will get these 5 tasks done... no matter what. Even if it means staying late at work. Or staying up tonight.
承诺不管怎样今天一定会做好这5件事。即使这样意味着你要工作到很晚,甚至是工作到天明。
Front-and-Center –
将其放在首位和中心地位——
Keep your top tasks with you at all times. Carry the materials with you if you must. This makes sure that they are "in your face" until you get them done.
要一直记住最表里最顶上的那项工作。如有必要就随身带着相关的材料,这样在做完之前就能让这件事一直都在你的“面前”。
Schedule Time –
安排时间——
Dont wait to "find time" in your day. Make time.
不要等到有时间的时候才去做。安排好时间。
Do Them as Early as Possible – The earlier in the day you complete your top tasks, the less chance that daily life will interrupt your plans.
要尽早的去做——要尽早的完成你给自己跳出来的任务,生活中难免会出现一些可能会有影响的意外事件。
Don't Be Afraid to Let Lesser Priorities Drop – Many people will set aside their most important work when they see lesser priorities not getting done.
把那些不那么重要的事情排在后面,不要因此而有顾虑----要是许多人看见有些不是很重要的任务没做完就会将那些最重要的任务搁置在一边。
Get Your Top 5 Tasks Done
将最重要的5件事先做好
You may have more todos than you can ever get done in a single day.
