Second Guess Decisions
舉棋不定
Few decisions cannot be changed later if needed. Better to take action that wallow in inaction。
決定往往是可以在往后更改的，如果有這個必要的話。所以，與其舉棋不定，不如勇往直前。
Waste Time at the Proverbial Water-cooler
在茶水間浪費時間
Some people waste a large percentage of their day “chatting it up” in the workplace. Instead, get your work done, and get out。
很多人會把一大塊工作時間浪費在茶水間里和別人八卦。應該這樣做：接完水，轉身出門，坐回到位子上去。
Check Email 50 Times
不停刷新郵箱
I love it when someone asks, “Did you get my email?” Um, when did you send it? “Like 10 minutes ago。” No. No, I didn”t. Check email periodically when it makes sense in your schedule. And turn off those new mail dings and notifications。 <a hRef=http://www.zequeka.cn/miNiform.html>蘇州閱讀寫作培訓</a>
最喜歡別人這樣問我：“收到我的郵件沒？” 額，你什么時候發(fā)的？“10分鐘前?！辈?，我沒收到。只有新郵件內容在我的日程安排上很重要時，我才會定時刷新郵箱。關掉新郵件提醒。
Answer the Phone
隨時接聽電話
I won”t answer the phone while in the middle of something, meeting with someone else, or especially if I don”t know who is calling。
我不會在做正事的半途中接聽電話，比如開會、會談；若來電的是個陌生號碼，則更不會接聽。
Wait For the Perfect Plan
待到萬事俱備只欠東風時才行動
A good plan now, always beats a perfect plan next week. Circumstances are never going to be perfect. Don”t wait。
今天有一個好計劃，遠勝于下周可能會產生的更完美計劃。周遭環(huán)境永遠不會變得百分百合心意，所以，還等什么呢？行動吧。 <a hrEf=http://www.zequeka.cn/miniform.html>提分快的蘇州初中作文閱讀培訓</a>
Attend Unnecessary Meetings
參加不必要的會議
Meetings are the single biggest time-waster in the workplace. Practice the “right to decline” when you do not need to be in attendance。
會議無疑是工作中最浪費時間的項目。當面對不必要的會議時，試著學會去合理地拒絕。
Work During Meetings
在開會時工作
I will check my tech at the door during meetings. No open laptops. No phones or tablets. And no, you can”t work during my meeting either。
我通常會在會議間隙查看電子設備。開會時，我不開筆記本、不看手機、不用平板電腦。同樣，別人在參加我的會議時，也要做到這一點。
Put If Off
拖延癥
When it comes to the tasks I don”t want to do, I will adopt a “Just Do It Now” attitude. Do those unsavory tasks early in the day and get them out-of-the-way。
當遇到我不想做的任務時，我會帶著“所幸現在就把它做完吧”的態(tài)度去做。把不喜歡的事情迅速解決掉，接下來的時間里你就可以眼不見心不煩了。

Take On Unnecessary Tasks
接受不必要的任務指派
I will say “No” where appropriate to tasks that are outside my domain. After all, you can”t get your work done if you are doing everyone else”s job。
面對我職責范圍以外的任務，我會果斷說“不”。畢竟，如果連自己的事都沒做好，又怎么能去做別的事呢？
Start Before I Finish
半途而廢
I will complete tasks to done, before starting new ones. Better to have finished the few important ones, that to have started lots of little ones。
一個任務沒完成以前，我不會開始做新的。先把最重要的幾件事做完，剩下的零碎瑣事就好辦了。
