a Post-It Wisely
巧用便籤

"Use a post-it note to record the 3 most important things I can do on that particular day. The post-it note is beneficial because it has a size constraint."
“使用便籤記下具體哪天要做的最重要的3件事情。小巧的便籤是非常好用的。”

Your Tasks on a Whiteboard
工作任務列白板上

"Use a whiteboard to list all of the tasks that are mine to accomplish. After . . . delegating out tasks, I put mine on a white board. Usually this is 10-15 tasks."
“在白板上列出所有我要完成的工作任務。完成一項刪除一項，我自己就是這麼做的，我把我的工作任務列在白板上，通常列出10-15項工作任務。”

ritize, Prioritize, Prioritize
重要的工作先做

"Prioritize the most important task you need to get done (often the one you are putting off). It is critical to set objectives before working."
“最重要的工作要先完成（有的人通常習慣把重要的工作推遲後做）。在開始投入工作之前，要設定好目標這一點非常重要。”

a Boss
像老闆一樣指派任務

"Delegate (LIKE A BOSS). When you enjoy what you do you will find yourself being much more productive. If you really suck at doing something, chances are there is someone out there that can probably do it for less than $5 per hr. Check out , , etc."
“像老闆一樣指派任務。當你對自己所做的工作感覺很享受的時候，你就會發現自己的工作效率非常之高。如果你真的不想自己做，那麼把機會讓給別人，有人可能會願意以不到5美元/小時的高效率出色完成，你可以在、、等網站上找人來做。”nce Is Golden
沉默是金

"Set iPhone in Do Not Disturb Mode. New feature in iOS 6 that turns off vibrate and all sounds."
“把iPhone手機設置爲不打擾模式。新版本的iOS 6系統能關掉振動和所有聲音。”

h Up Your Emails
處理郵件

"Batch Your Email (When people are unlikely to respond right away). Email is one of the biggest time wasters. Stay away unless it is absolutely critical to your previously set objectives. Remember that the more emails you send throughout the day, the more you receive. It's a vicious cycle."
“分批處理郵件（把不可能立即回覆的郵件進行分批處理）。郵件是最浪費時間的工作之一，重要的郵件除外，其它的郵件做分批處理。記住：你發送出去的郵件越多，收到的郵件就越多，收發郵件屬於惡性循環。”

"I batch emails at night or early in the morning when people are less likely to respond right away. It is amazing how fast you can blow through a few hundred emails when you are not replying to instant responses and can move on to other tasks."
“對於不大可能立即回覆的郵件進行分批處理。對於數百封並不立即回覆的郵件，你瀏覽郵件的速度越快，你開始下一項工作的速度就越快。”

ously a Smartphone Email
手機郵件，一目瞭然

"Add 'sent from my iPhone' to all email accounts signatures. This way people don't get upset with you for keeping your emails brief and getting right to the point."
“我用iPhone手機發送的所有郵件都添加簽名。你的郵件內容一定要簡潔明瞭直奔主題，這樣人們纔不會對你的郵件感到厭煩沒耐心讀完。”

Yourself a Break
放空自己，休息一下

"Take a break when you are not being productive anymore. For me I have a really short attention span, and I notice a significant fall off in productivity after about an hour or so of work. Take a break. Go for a walk, do something else, etc . . . then get back to work!"
“工作效率不高的時候就選擇休息一下。我自己的注意力集中時間真的有些短，工作一小時後，工作效率就低了。休息一下，出去散散步，去做做別的事兒，然後，再回來繼續工作！”

en to Music
聆聽音樂

"Not all music is the same when it comes to being productive. Try out different genres of music and see what works for you.
提高工作效率的音樂並不全是一樣的。嘗試聽一下各種類型、各種風格、各種流派的音樂，這樣你才能找到適合你用來提高工作效率的音樂。
