手忙腳亂卻效率低下?學學時間管理

　　如何有效地進行時間管理，是每個人的職場必修課。時間管理本身不在于時間，而是在于如何善用及分配自己的時間。每個人一天的時間都是相同的，成功人士能夠巧妙利用瑣碎時間、合理安排工作計劃而擁有更高的效率。如何將一天的時間超過二十四小時?EF英孚教育職場發(fā)展部的Annie導師用三個簡單而有效的方法，幫你做好時間管理,做一個高效的人。

　　1) Set up reasonable work goals, and give priority to important and urgent items. People who have good time management skills will make a to-do list in regards to their workload every day and set priorities based on four focused principles: important & urgent events; important, but not urgent events; unimportant, but urgent events, and finally, unimportant, and not urgent events. Finishing your tasks according to this principle can help you improve your work efficiency.

　　合理定制工作目標，優(yōu)先處理重要緊急的事情。善于管理時間的人會把每天要做的事情列個清單，確定優(yōu)先次序:(1)重要緊急、(2)重要不緊急、(3)緊急不重要、(4)不重要不緊急，以此按照事情的重要和緊急程度來安排時間完成，有效提高了辦事效率。

　　Example：Ava is the secretary to a foreign company’s president. Even though she has a heavy workload and a lot of complex things to deal with every day, she can easily cope with them and finish them in an orderly manner. The reason for this is that she will clear her mind every morning before she starts work. She will then spend 10 minutes to make a schedule and label various tasks in order of importance. She gives priority to important and urgent projects, which also have closer deadlines. This habit helps Ava to complete tasks effectively with high quality. She will soon be promoted to Office Manager.

　　例如：Ava是一家外企的董事長秘書，工作多且繁瑣，但她都能夠輕松應對有條理地完成，原因在于她每天早上開始工作前都會首先理清思路，然后花10分鐘制定一份工作計劃，將各項任務按照重要緊急程度歸類，優(yōu)先處理重要緊急且截止日期較近的項目，這一習慣幫助Ava高效、有質量地處理各項任務，她也很快會被提升為首席秘書長。

　　2)Apply the Pareto Principle, which is also called Principle of Least Effort. You regard it as a reminder that you put 80% of your effort to deal with the 20% of things that you consider most important. Only 20% of things need you to spend most of your time and effort to finish, which can lead you to the path of success. We all have limited time and energy. Therefore, you should give more focus to the right things that give the biggest return.

　　二八原則又叫最省力法則：你應當將它作為一個提示器，每天提醒你將主要80%的精力放在最重要20%的事情上。只有20%的事情，才是你最應該花費時間和精力去努力完成的，它們也是你成功的最重要部分;每個人的時間和精力都是有限的，所以不僅僅是工作，而應做到的是在正確的事情上巧工作。

　　Example: Jake is a sales person in a foreign company. Every month, he would sort tables, contact important customers and analyse sales report for the department at his own initiative. After half a year, he accumulated a lot of customer information and discovered that most of the departmental revenue came from 20% of the customers. Slowly, Jake began to spend most of his energy on the 20% of customers who had the most potential. He then became the sales champion every month. He could take his extra time he now has to conduct new staff orientation. Now he has become a favourable manager candidate of the company.

　　例如：Jake是某外企銷售，他每個月都會整理、聯(lián)絡其重要客戶并且主動分析部門銷售報表，半年時間下來，他積累了大量的重要客戶并掌握了大部分的收益都來自于20%的客戶。慢慢地，Jake會將自己的主要精力集中于最具有潛力的20%客戶上，每個月的銷售冠軍非他莫屬;他還可以抽出時間給部門新來的同事進行培訓，成為公司重點培養(yǎng)的銷售經(jīng)理候選人。

　　3) Change your working habits and arrange your time according to your own habits and working pace. Most people always use their intuition to improve things that are usually thought of as being inefficient. Therefore, it is important to record what is the best condition both of your mental and physical status. Arrange the most important work schedule in this period of time, so that you get twice the result with half the effort.

　　改變個人的工作習慣，并根據(jù)個人的不同習慣和節(jié)奏安排時間。很多人在做事情時常常會運用自己熟悉直覺的方法去做，但通常并不是自己最有效的方法。因此，記錄自己腦力體力狀態(tài)最佳時期就顯得尤為重要，把最緊要的事情安排在這個時間，在精力充沛的情況下專心工作就會事半功倍。

　　Example: Alex was highly efficient in his work. He didn’t only need to write an internet series for his blog, but also had time to accompany his family and go exercise. Many people asked him for advice about time management. He taught people to use their short spare time to organize their thoughts. It was good to work when you were in a good mood because a clear mind and quick thinking could help improve work efficiency. If Alex felt tired or felt unable to concentrate on his work, he would take the opportunity to relax through activities such as going to Gym or accompanying his family out. Then he would get back to work with a better mindset.

　　例如：Alex工作起來效率很高，既要趕寫大V博客網(wǎng)絡連載，又可以抽出時間去健身陪家人出游。很多人向他請教時間管理的秘訣，他教大家用零碎時間去整理自己的思路，趁著自己精神好的時候埋頭工作，頭腦清醒，思維敏捷，效率自然就隨之而提高;如果感覺疲勞或者力不從心時，Alex就會適當放松自己，換一個頻道去健健身，陪家人打打球，然后以最佳狀態(tài)重新回到工作中。
