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 -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.
给你日程表中的工作排序--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 –Determine your “Top 5″ tasks that must get done today.
选出最重要的5项---明确今天必须要做完的5件事。
Make Them Non-Negotiable –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.
要坚定不移---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 –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.
将其放在首位和中心地位---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 –Don’t wait to “find time” in your day. Make time.
安排时间--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。
