【职场】职场技巧：*工作效率

职场上，效率很重要，怎么让自己的工作更有效率？来看看吧。

No matter what you do, doesn’t it seem like there are not enough hours in the day? That’s where I was a couple years ago. I used to pull all-nighters, and was working 7 days a week to finish all my tasks. I simply had no time to spare.

无论你做什么，你是不是觉得每天的时间都不够用？几年前我也是这样。为了完成任务，有时我需要熬夜加班，一周工作七天 一点儿空余时间也没有。

The strategies which I learned along the way are what I hope to share with you today. Here are the 4 main things I do consistently to be more productive.

今天我想和你分享的，就是我所学到的高效工作的一些策略。下面是我让自己高效工作而经常做的4件事情：

1. I Don’t Multitask

不要同时处理很多任务

The greatest “executioner of my productivity” was that I had convinced myself that I was multitasking — and therefore was doing work faster.

我之前工作效率*大的硬伤，是我认为自己可以“多管其下”——觉得这样工作效率会高。

Multitasking is not a real thing. What you are really doing when you are (apparently) multitasking is going back and forth between two separate tasks. So rather than giving * to one task at a time you are going back and forth between tasks, giving each task a monumentally less amount of focus. This simply means that you end up doing both tasks at less than * — and you gain a whole lot of stress and tension.

多任务处理并不存在。实际的情况是，当你进行多任务处理的时候，你要不断在两个单独的任务间往返。你不是把*的注意力都集中到一项任务上，而是在各项任务中不断往返，每次只分给一项任务很少的注意力。这就意味着到*后这些任务也不能完全完成，你还给自己增加了很多压力和紧张。

2. Break Things Down

把事情分解

Okay…so imagine a really large meatball. Got it? Good. According to animal instincts, the best way to eat it is to put the entire thing in your mouth and chew. Do that and you will be chewing and swallowing for the next 10 minutes.

好吧。想象一个真正的肉丸子。明白了吧？很好。按照动物的直觉，把肉丸吃掉的*好方法，是把它整个放到嘴里然后咀嚼。 要是这样的话，在接下来的10分钟里，你就会在那里一直咀嚼和吞咽。

Sensibly and productively speaking, the best and fastest way to eat the meatball is to cut it into smaller pieces so that you can take in as much as your mouth can handle, and swallow it in less than no time.
