There is no one secret to time management. In fact, there are three time management secrets. They are easy to learn and remember. The hard part is making yourself use them consistently. Do that, however, and you will master the time management secrets and you will get more done - in your business and in your life.
時(shí)間管理，沒(méi)有什么所謂秘訣可言。事實(shí)上，時(shí)間管理上有三大秘訣，這三大秘訣很容易學(xué)習(xí)與記憶，而最難的部分無(wú)非是讓你自己持續(xù)的使用這些秘訣。如此，你會(huì)掌握時(shí)間管理方面的秘訣，而且也能夠在事業(yè)與生活上獲得更多的東西。
The Three Secrets of Time Management
時(shí)間管理的三大秘訣
There are three key elements of time management. You have to focus first on using your limited amount of time on the most important things.
時(shí)間管理，擁有三大核心要素，你首先得重點(diǎn)將有限的時(shí)間花在最為重要的事情上。
You have to use that time efficiently. And you have to actually do those things instead of just talking or thinking about them.
你得有效地利用時(shí)間，并且需要實(shí)際去做一些事情，而不是僅僅討論或者想象而已。
Do The Right Things First
首先要做正確的事情
Perhaps the most important of the time management secrets is to do the right things first. It's easy to lose focus and spend a lot of time on things that are urgent, but not important. The trick is to stay focused on the important things and not waste your limited amount of time on anything else.
也許，時(shí)間管理最為重要的秘訣是：首先要去做正確的事情。我們?cè)诰o急但不重要的事情上，很容易失去重點(diǎn)，并會(huì)花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間。訣竅在于，我們要重點(diǎn)關(guān)注重要的事情，而不要把有限的時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在其他的事情上。
-The 80/20 Rule, also known as Pareto's Principle, says that 20 percent of something always are responsible for 80 percent of the results. For example, twenty percent of the products will have eighty percent of the flaws. This article explains the rule in more detail and tells how you can use it to more effectively manage time and many different aspects of your life.
80/20法則，或者叫做帕累托法則，稱：某件事情的20%決定了結(jié)果的80%。比如，20%的產(chǎn)品會(huì)占到缺陷的80%。本文主要是要更為詳細(xì)地解釋80/20法則，并告訴你如何利用該法則有效地管理時(shí)間，以及生活中的方方面面。
-You can save time by knowing when to step in and when to hang back if an employee has a problem. Managers need to let employees make their own mistakes so they can learn from them. We can train them and advise them, but actual experience is often the best teacher. A good manager, therefore, will hang back and resist the impulse to jump in every time an employee encounters difficulty.
你可以節(jié)約時(shí)間，在員工有問(wèn)題時(shí)，你要知道什么時(shí)候該介入，什么時(shí)候該停下來(lái)。管理者需要給員工犯錯(cuò)，這樣，他們才能從中吸取教訓(xùn)。我們可以培訓(xùn)他們，并給他們提供建議，而往往實(shí)際的經(jīng)驗(yàn)才是最好的老師。因此，在員工每次遇到困難時(shí)，一個(gè)好的經(jīng)理會(huì)停下來(lái)，并抵制突然其來(lái)的念頭。
-One time you can't hang back is the difficult employee. Many managers struggle with managing difficult employees. You may be tempted to not deal with them and hope the situation will get better on its own. It won't. These types of tasks will take less time if you address them immediately instead of waiting and then having to spend more time on them later.
有一種情況你不能退縮，那就是遇到難管理的員工，而許多經(jīng)理試圖去管理難以管理的員工。你可能會(huì)被誘惑不要去處理他們，希望情況會(huì)自行變好。這是不可能發(fā)生的！如果你馬上處理，這類任務(wù)不會(huì)花費(fèi)太多時(shí)間，而如果你一直拖著不去處理，那么以后你需要花更多的時(shí)間去處理它們。
Use Time Efficiently
有效利用時(shí)間
Even when you master the time management secret of only working on the important tasks, you still need to be efficient with your time if you want to get everything done.
即使，你已經(jīng)掌握了只處理重要任務(wù)的時(shí)間管理的秘訣，如果你想把所有的事情都做完，你仍然需要有效地利用時(shí)間。
-You Can't Really Multitask. I used to be a major fan of multi-tasking, but I've become a convert to "chunking". The name isn't as exciting, but the results are impressive. Use Chunking Instead of Multi-tasking and you will get more done in less time.
你做不到多任務(wù)。我曾經(jīng)是多任務(wù)的愛(ài)好者，而現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)換到“分塊”?！胺謮K”，這個(gè)名字并不會(huì)令人興奮，但結(jié)果卻讓人印象深刻。利用“分塊”而不是多任務(wù)，你將能做到事半功倍。
-Many people try using to do lists to help them with time management. Still there somehow never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done. You have to use a to-do list that helps you stick with your priorities. Here is the system that has worked for me. It can work for you too.
許多人會(huì)嘗試使用待辦事項(xiàng)來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)間管理。但看起來(lái)，一天當(dāng)中似乎并沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間去完成所有的事情。你必須堅(jiān)持使用輕重緩急優(yōu)先級(jí)的待辦事項(xiàng)清單，這一方法對(duì)我確實(shí)有用，而對(duì)你也一樣！
-One final key to using your time efficiently is to not take on more than you can handle. Many times, that means knowing when to say no to your boss.
有效利用時(shí)間的最后一個(gè)關(guān)鍵是：不要承擔(dān)太多你所能處理范圍之外的事情。很多時(shí)候，這也意味著那你得知道什么時(shí)候要對(duì)老板說(shuō)“不”。
Get Things Done
把事情做好
You know the importance of doing the right things first and you are good at using your time efficiently. But neither of those will do you any good without the third time management secret - you have to actually get things done. It is not enough to know what to do, to think about doing something, or to talk about doing it.
你知道“首先要做正確的事情”和“有效利用時(shí)間”的重要性。如果沒(méi)有時(shí)間管理的第三個(gè)秘訣-你得確實(shí)把事情給做好了，“首先要做正確的事情”和“有效利用時(shí)間”這兩個(gè)秘訣也不會(huì)對(duì)你有什么好處。僅僅知道做什么是不夠的，你得思考或者探討去做一些事情。
You have to actually get things done.
你得真正把事情給做好了。
-Don't let "analysis paralysis" keep you from getting things done. Planning is an important part of the job we do, but it is not an end goal. Don’t let process get in the way of results. Do your planning, but don't lose sight of the need to get the job done.
不要讓優(yōu)柔寡斷來(lái)阻止你完成任務(wù)。計(jì)劃，是我們工作的一個(gè)重要組成部分，但它卻不是最終的目標(biāo)。不要讓過(guò)程妨礙結(jié)果！做好計(jì)劃，但千萬(wàn)不要無(wú)視完成工作的必要性。
Bottom Line
時(shí)間管理的底線
There are three time management secrets. Focus first on the most important things. Use time efficiently. And actually get things done. The more you use these, the more you will get done of what really matters.
時(shí)間管理有三大秘訣，分別是：首先要做正確的事情、有效利用時(shí)間，以及真正把事情做好。你使用這三大秘訣越多，就越能完成真正重要的事情。
