委派任務(wù)
It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and burnout. Delegation is not running away from your responsibilities but is an important function of management. Learn the art of delegating work to your subordinates as per their skills and abilities.
我們或多或少都遇過(guò)多得超出承受范圍的任務(wù),并因此壓力重重、精疲力竭。委派任務(wù)并不是逃避責(zé)任,而是一種管理技巧。根據(jù)下屬各自的優(yōu)勢(shì)長(zhǎng)處,你可以考慮把任務(wù)分派給他們。
Prioritize Work
優(yōu)先次序
Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important.
每天工作前,先列出需要占用大量寶貴時(shí)間的重要緊急任務(wù)。有些任務(wù)當(dāng)天必須完成,而有些則可以拖到第二天??傊瑑?yōu)先安排重要的任務(wù)。
Avoid Procrastination
杜絕拖延
Procrastination is one of the things that badly affect the productivity. It can result is wasting essential time and energy. It should be avoided at all costs. It could be a major problem in both your career and your personal life.
拖延是嚴(yán)重影響效率的一大惡因,既浪費(fèi)時(shí)間又耗費(fèi)精力,無(wú)論如何都要杜絕,否則會(huì)極大危害你的工作和生活。
Schedule Tasks
計(jì)劃任務(wù)
Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple ‘To Do’ list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better manage your time management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal.
隨身攜帶便簽或筆記本,一旦想到什么就記下來(lái)。每天早上列個(gè)“任務(wù)清單”,按優(yōu)先次序排列,并確保任務(wù)能夠完成。若想進(jìn)一步提高自己的時(shí)間管理能力,你可以按“工作-家庭-個(gè)人”來(lái)分類(lèi)清單。
Avoid Stress
遠(yuǎn)離壓力
Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling tired which can affect our productivity. Instead, delegate tasks to your juniors and make sure to leave some time for relaxation.
當(dāng)工作量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出我們的承受范圍時(shí),壓力就會(huì)接踵而來(lái),而一旦感到身體疲憊,效率也會(huì)大打折扣。所以,你要學(xué)會(huì)把任務(wù)分派給下屬去做,給自己一點(diǎn)放松的時(shí)間。
Set up Deadlines
設(shè)定期限
When you have a task at hand, set a realistic deadline and stick to it. Try to set a deadline few days before the task so that you can complete all those tasks that may get in the way. Challenge yourself and meet the deadline. Reward yourself for meeting a difficult challenge.
處理任務(wù)時(shí)先設(shè)定一個(gè)期限,然后盡量在期限內(nèi)完成。你可以嘗試把任務(wù)期限提前幾天,那樣,如果中途出現(xiàn)新任務(wù),你也能游刃有余了。挑戰(zhàn)自己在期限內(nèi)完成任務(wù),然后在做成后獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)一下自己。
Avoid Multitasking
勿一心多用
Most of us feel that multitasking is an efficient way of getting things done but the truth is that we do better when we focus and concentrate on one thing. Multitasking hampers productivity and should be avoided to improve time management skills.
很多人以為同時(shí)處理多個(gè)任務(wù)能提高效率,但事實(shí)是,一次只專(zhuān)心做一件事的效果更好。一心多用并不利于提高效率,我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間管理技巧時(shí)千萬(wàn)要避免。
Start Early
及早開(kāi)始
Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives them time to sit, think, and plan their day. When you get up early, you are more calm, creative, and clear-headed. As the day progresses, your energy levels starts going down which affects your productivity and you don’t perform as well.
很多成功人士有一個(gè)共同點(diǎn):他們習(xí)慣早起,趁著早上的時(shí)間思考并計(jì)劃新的一天。早起使人頭腦清醒活躍、更加從容鎮(zhèn)定;而晚些時(shí)候人的精力會(huì)漸漸消耗,效率和工作表現(xiàn)遠(yuǎn)不如早上。
Take Some Breaks
間歇休息
Whenever you find yourself for 10-15 minutes, take a break. Too much stress can take toll on your body and affect your productivity. Take a walk, listen to some music or do some quick stretches. The best idea is to take off from work and spend time with your friends and family.
只要有那么10-15分鐘,就稍微休息一下吧。壓力太大既傷身體又影響效率。散散步、聽(tīng)聽(tīng)音樂(lè)或伸展一下胳膊,最好能暫時(shí)撇開(kāi)工作,跟家人朋友呆一會(huì)兒。
Learn to say No
懂得拒絕
Politely refuse to accept additional tasks if you think that you’re already overloaded with work. Take a look at your ‘To Do’ list before agreeing to take on extra work.
如果感到工作量太大,可以嘗試委婉拒絕額外工作。接受額外工作前先看下自己的任務(wù)清單吧。
