时间管理:一小时能做的21件事
爱思英语编者按:各位,大家起床的时候赶着挤地铁,上班的时候赶着完成任务,下班的时候赶着早点回家。有没有想过一天多一个小时呢?多出来的一小时,你可以完成以下21件事。 How odd that so much of life is dependent upon time. Lives are measured in years. We count down the minutes and seconds in a game and measure our productivity by months and quarters. The clock speeds when you're enjoying a project and drags when someone is droning on and on in a meeting. Your ability to control time is nonexistent, which can be frustrating when you really need it. And who doesn't want just a bit more time, an extra hour each day? Well here's your chance. So that you don't waste this precious time, I have put together a list of 21 ideas on how to make the most of this gift. 1.Catch up on all of your email. 2.Hand-write and send five thank-you notes to people who support you. 3.Brainstorm with a couple of colleagues on how to make the office run better. 4.Plan a romantic evening for your significant other. 5.Investigate two of your competitors. 6.Google yourself. If that takes five minutes, Google all your co-workers. 7.Make a list of pros and cons about yourself as a contributor to the company. 8.Identify a role model and send them a handwritten invitation to lunch. 9.Plan a weekend trip with your family. 10.Have lunch with your boss, partner or colleague. 11.Call an old friend or relative you have neglected. 12.Update your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter profiles and your resume. 13.Sharpen your powers of observation by watching people in a crowded area. 14.Volunteer for a charity you like. 15.Make a playlist of inspiring work music. 16.Meditate. 17.Clean up the desktop on your computer (or your desk). 18.Plan the perfect dinner party. 19.Read that business book that's been waiting. 20.Write a short story. 21.Give yourself a clothing makeover. (Yes, that means shopping.) |
