讀書的時候可能覺得虛度時光沒什么，但步入社會開始工作后，原本充裕的時間似乎一下子，就變得稀少寶貴了起來。如何創造更多時間，如何擁有更多時間，如何擠出更多時間，一起來看一下吧!

Three Ways to Create More Time In Your Day

每天創造更多時間的三大方法

1. Get up earlier

早起

Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing space. Perhaps it’ll give you time to actually sit down and enjoy your breakfast for once. Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through that book or stack of journals that you keep meaning to get to.

稍微早點起床就不至于那么匆忙。或許至少可以真正坐下來吃頓早餐。你也可以利用每天早起的15分鐘看看書或者整理一下記事本。

2. Create a plan

制定計劃

At the start of your workday, before you even check your emails, make a plan. Jot down the three most important tasks you want to accomplish that day. Put a big star next to the most important. Now, before you get into the busy work of emails and photocopying and tidying your desk, start on that important task and see it through to the end.

在你剛開始工作時，趁著還沒查看郵件，趕緊定個計劃吧。寫下當天必須完成的三個最重要的任務，最重要的那個打上標記。然后趁著還沒開始檢查郵件、影印資料或整理辦公桌等工作內容前，趕緊著手那個最重要的任務并保證完成它。

Surprisingly few people take the time to plan their workday, and end up spinning their wheels on a number of low-priority tasks without really accomplishing anything big.

奇怪的是，很少有人能有計劃地工作，一天下來后還是周旋在幾個效率甚低的任務上，最后其實什么實事都沒做成。

3. Stay focused

保持專注

When you are working on a task, make a conscious effort to remain focused. Sure, you’ll have intrusive thoughts like maybe I should check my email or this desk could really do with tidying. Just recognize that those thoughts are impulses which you don’t need to give into. If you think of something while you’re working on your task like I really must phone Joe, then just make a note on a bit of paper or in your diary so you don’t forget--and get on with the task at hand.

工作時一定要努力保持專注。當然，你可能會時不時想到“該查看郵件了”或“辦公桌真該整理一下了”，但請記住：這些都只是一時想法，不要陷進去。如果你工作時想到別的事情，比如“我真得打電話給喬了”，那就在紙上或記事本上寫下來以免忘記，然后繼續手頭的工作。

You’ll accomplish much more by working in a deliberately focused way than if you let yourself jump around from task to task as things come to mind.

刻意保持專注比思想散漫時的工作效率要高得多。
