Work = Time * Speed
时间是固定的，所以要收获更多，需要提高速度 / 效率.
明确目标
清楚自己到底要的是什么。集中经历做最重要的事情，避免在无关紧要的事情上浪费时间。
减少打断
大脑在每次任务切换后，都需要一些爬坡时间才能恢复到之前的效率。减少碎片化任务，避免被外部事情打断，就可以一直保持高效率。
高效人士的七个习惯
- Act Proactive: They take time to formulate their responses to situations
they find themselves in rather than simply making knee-jerk reactions to
them. - Begin with the End in Mind: They visualize the desired results and then
take the steps necessary to achieve them. - Put First Things First: As the masters of time management and
organization, they successfully prioritize their tasks to reach their goals. - Think Win/Win: They seek accords and results that are mutually satisfying
to everyone involved rather than simply seeking to triumph at any cost. - Seek First to Understand, and Then Be Understood: They practice
“empathic listening” whereby they listen to others with the intention of
understanding what others are saying, rather than preparing a reply to it. - Synergize: They practice creative cooperation whereby they remain
open to new possibilities, alternatives, and options. - Sharpen the Saw: They practice principles of balanced self-renewal that
enable them to reenergize themselves physically, mentally, socially, and
spiritually.
Getting Things Done
- Collect: This stage involves using your own preferred tools to accumulate
all of the stuff in your professional and personal lives that you consider
incomplete or requiring some sort of change. - Process: This stage involves determining the relative importance of
all the stuff you identify as incomplete and deciding what steps are
required to make them complete. - Organize: This stage involves deciding where to store all the stuff that
you determine still needs completing. - Review: This stage involves routinely reviewing (Allen usually recommends
on a weekly basis) all the stuff that you still identify as incomplete. - Do: This stage involves deciding whether or not the stuff you see as
incomplete is worth taking up now or at some later time.
记录待完成事项
将待完成事项记录下来，而不是脑子里，可以减少心理压力。清理列表，清理收件箱：
- Do It: You perform the action if you estimate that you can complete it
within two minutes or less (Allen’s two-minute rule). - Delegate It: You send it to someone else on the team if you determine
that you’re not the best person to undertake the action. - Defer It: You place it in a Someday or Snooze file if you determine that
you need more information to do it or it will take longer than a couple of
minutes. - Delete it: If you read a message (or its preview lines, if you view your
e-mail messages using Messages with AutoPreview as your current Mail
view) and find that it clearly falls into the junk category, move it into
your Deleted Items folder by pressing the Delete key.
