雅思阅读材料之影响成功的是个习惯

1 Start Before I Finish半途而废；

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.

2 Put If Off 拖延症；

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.

3 Take On Unnecessary Tasks接受不必要的任务指派；

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.

4 Second Guess Decisions举棋不定；

Few decisions cannot be changed later if needed. Better to take action that wallow in inaction.

5 Check Email 50 Times不停刷新邮箱；

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.

6 Waste Time at the Proverbial Water-cooler在茶水间浪费时间；

Some people waste a large percentage of their day “chatting it up” in the workplace. Instead, get your work done, and get out.

7 Answer the Phone随时接听电话；

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.

8 Wait For the Perfect Plan 待到万事俱备只欠东风时才行动；

A good plan now, always beats a perfect plan next week. Circumstances are never going to be perfect. Don’t wait.

9 Attend Unnecessary Meetings参加不必要的会议；

Meetings are the single biggest time-waster in the workplace. Practice the “right to decline” when you do not need to be in attendance.

10 During Meetings在开会时工作；

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.
