很多人都說(shuō)他們?cè)谝惶炖餂](méi)有足夠的時(shí)間去完成一些事情。然而,他們卻在不知不覺(jué)中讓時(shí)間一分一秒地流逝。對(duì)很多人來(lái)說(shuō),這就是造成效率下降的一個(gè)主要原因——零碎時(shí)間沒(méi)有利用好。
我們不要小看短短的10分鐘可以完成的小事,完成這些小事可以提高你整天的工作效率。
所以這里給大家列出了在10分鐘內(nèi)可以做的10件小事。
Too many people say that they do not have enough time in their day to get their stuff done. Yet, they let their time slip by bit-by-bit, minute-by-minute. For many people, it is this “in-between” time that becomes a major source of lost productivity.
Let’s not underestimate what we can get done in just 10 minutes. These little bursts of productivity can drive your whole day.
So, here are 10 little things you can do with those 10 minutes.
Respond to 10 Emails 回復(fù)10封電子郵件
Keep it short, and remember that not all email messages deserve a response. 10? Yes, and be ruthless with that inbox.
回復(fù)要簡(jiǎn)單一些,記住并不是所有的郵件都需要回復(fù)。10封?是的,對(duì)于收件箱內(nèi)的郵件要知道取舍。
Respond to 3 Phone Calls 回復(fù)3個(gè)電話
Return that call. Reach out to that colleague that you need to meet up with. And schedule that doctor’s appointment that you have been putting off for 6 months.
要回復(fù)電話。給那個(gè)需要見(jiàn)面的同事回個(gè)電話。并且要安排好已經(jīng)推遲了6個(gè)月的與醫(yī)生的會(huì)面。
Pay Some Bills Online 在線支付賬單
In just a few minutes, you can pay your bills with online billpay. You’re not still dealing with paper bills, are you?
只需要幾分鐘,你就可以在網(wǎng)上完成付款。你不會(huì)還一直在處理紙質(zhì)賬單,對(duì)吧?
Write 寫(xiě)點(diǎn)什么
You will be surprised how much you can write in 10 minutes. Write a memo. Start a blog post. Whatever you need to get done.
你會(huì)對(duì)在這10分鐘內(nèi)能寫(xiě)些什么感到驚訝。寫(xiě)一下備忘錄。寫(xiě)點(diǎn)博客。任何你想寫(xiě)的東西都可以。
Read 10 Pages in a Book 讀十頁(yè)書(shū)
Whether it is in the doctor’s office or the car dealership, use that time to read a few pages. Some people carry a book with them for these moments. Personally, with my iPhone or iPad, I always have books at my fingertips to keep me occupied.
不管是在醫(yī)生的辦公室還是在汽車(chē)專營(yíng)店,用這點(diǎn)時(shí)間來(lái)讀幾頁(yè)書(shū)。有些人會(huì)隨身帶一本書(shū)來(lái)利用這段時(shí)間。就我個(gè)人而言,我會(huì)把書(shū)籍下載到我的iphone或者ipad里面,指尖一觸隨時(shí)充實(shí)自己。
Catch up with a Co-worker 和同事聊聊天
10 minutes early to that meeting? This can be one of the best times to have a meaningful conversation with another colleague. You can reconnect with someone. At a recent meeting I had the chance to reconnect with one of our executives, someone who I might not normally have a chance to chat with on a personal level.
離會(huì)議開(kāi)始還有10分鐘?這可能是你和另一位同事展開(kāi)一個(gè)有意義會(huì)話的最佳時(shí)間段了。你可以重新和一些人取得聯(lián)系。在最近的一次會(huì)議上我就有機(jī)會(huì)重新聯(lián)系上了我的一位主管,他是那種我一般私下不會(huì)有機(jī)會(huì)能與之交談的人。
Prepare 準(zhǔn)備
Get ready for a future appointment. Look at tomorrow’s calendar. Is there any prep-work you need to do? It could be as simple as getting some documents together or researching a topic.
為即將到來(lái)的約會(huì)做準(zhǔn)備??聪旅魈斓娜諝v,有什么準(zhǔn)備工作你需要做嗎?它可能是像把一些文件準(zhǔn)備到一起,或者準(zhǔn)備研究一個(gè)話題這樣簡(jiǎn)單的事情。
Reflect 反思
Spend the few moments, reflecting on your day. What have you accomplished? What has made you happy today? What do you still need to address?
花幾分鐘來(lái)反思一下這一天。你完成了什么?今天什么事情讓你很開(kāi)心?還有什么事情需要你處理?
Reach Out & Touch Someone 走出去和某人說(shuō)說(shuō)話
In these days of email, microblogs, text msgs, and more… It has become increasingly rare to actually communicate in person. When I find I have a 10 minute block of time to spare, I will walk down the hall and speak to someone face to face that I normally would not see.
在今天,有郵件、微博、短信以及更多和人聯(lián)系的方式,人們?nèi)狈εc人面對(duì)面的交流。當(dāng)我發(fā)現(xiàn)我還有10分鐘的時(shí)間時(shí),我會(huì)在大廳里走走,和一些我平時(shí)不怎么碰面的人面對(duì)面地交流。
Do Nothing 什么也不做
Of course, you could just waste the 10 minutes surfing the net or checking the news. Unfortunately, too many people choose this last option.
當(dāng)然,你也可以完全用上網(wǎng)和刷新聞來(lái)打發(fā)這10分鐘的時(shí)間。不幸的是,很多人都選擇了最后這一項(xiàng)。
