了解時間浪費在哪里

勇敢的嘗試是成功的一半。
In order to begin a time management program, you need to pinpoint exactly where you are wasting the most time. Likely, there will be many areas where you need better time management. Look at those areas and start working on them every day. Slacking off here or there won’t help you. Be rigid.

A bold attempt is half success
開始你的時間管理程序，你要非常精確的找出在什么地方你浪費了大量的時間。你很可能在許多地方更好的管理你的時間，審視這些，開始每天在這些事務上用心，對待任何事情都不要懈怠，那樣對你是沒有好處的。一定要嚴格要求自己。

Get Some Tools
Getting your life organized will help your time management because you won’t have to think about what is coming up next on your schedule. You can also look up directions if you have a meeting, what restaurants are nearby, and a million other handy things to save yourself some time. Some people use their iPhone for these functions and some still use the Palm Pilot system. Whatever you use, make sure you can surf the net and plug in your daily schedule at ease.
獲得工具
井井有條的生活是有益于你管理時間的，因為這樣你就不必去想接下來要做什么。你也可以查看自己的計劃表，是否有會議要參加，要去附近的哪個餐館，還有無數其他的瑣碎的事情，隨時查看自己的時間安排，這會節省你的時間。一些人用iPhone，也有一些人用Palm，無論你用什么工具，都要保證你能隨意的添加你的日常事務的時間計劃。
　
Multi-Task While Eating
Eating while just staring at the wall is a great time waster. Which is not a good thing. At least check your e-mail or read over a project you have to work on in the afternoon while you are munching your way through that tuna sandwich. If you read (dork!) in your free time, do it during lunch to give you some extra time later when you are usually reading.
吃飯時多做點別的事情
吃飯時僅僅盯著墻面，對時間是巨大的浪費。這是很不好的事情。這個時候你至少可以查看自己的郵件，或者在你大口咀嚼三明治的時候想想自己下午要做什么事情。如果你在自己閑暇的時候讀書--這真是太愚蠢了--把這些事情放到午餐的時候吧，為接下來的事務多留點時間，等到你真的閑暇的時候在去讀書吧。

Plan Ahead
Each night, there needs to be a moment where you review what will be happening the next day. If you have somewhere to be at 8:30am, plan accordingly. Set your alarm to wake up earlier. Plan your route to avoid as much of the morning traffic rush as possible. It will only take a couple of minutes to refer to your schedule, but will save you tons of time the next day.
提前計劃好
每天晚上花一點時間想想明天將要做什么，如果你要在八點半到達到某個地方，協調好你的計劃。將你的鬧鐘設置的時間稍微提前一點，計劃好你的路線，盡可能避免早上塞車。雖然這會花你幾分鐘時間來考慮，但是這會為你明天有效地節約時間。

Priorities
Making sure you are attacking a task in the order it should be conquered is also key to managing your time. Alphabetizing your record collection instead of doing your taxes is probably not a smart move. Make a list of things you need to do -- no matter how small -- and put them in order. You can then attack projects and tasks as they move up the list instead of trying to do pieces of projects at the same time. That just keeps you unfocused and wasting time.
優先考慮的事情
確保你的計劃井井有條，讓它有說服力，這也是合理安排時間的關鍵。收集音樂磁盤而不去完成你的稅務很明顯是不明智計劃。將你要做的事情--無論是多么小的事情--都一一按順序列在單子上。這樣你就可以開始構建你的時間安排了，優先考慮一些事你就不會浪費時間做一些瑣碎的事情了，這樣你就不會一下子有過多的事情聚到一起浪費你的時間。
