    你是否有个大计划总想花时间去做？比如写小说、创业、或马拉松训练，不管个人想法或目标是什么，你就是还没时间去落实吧？

    Thebestwaytotacklebigprojectslikethisistoforcethemintoyourschedule.Sparetimedoesn'tjustappearfromnowhere–youneedtomakeaconsciousefforttocreateit.Blockoutaweekendafternoon,forinstance:tellfamilyandfriendsyouhaveanotherengagementthatday.Thenstormonaheadwiththatproject.Trustme,you'llfeelgreatforhavingmadeastart.

    对付这种大计划的办法就是强行做出安排。时间就像海绵里的水，你得用心去挤才行。比如，你可以腾出一个周末下午的时间，告诉亲友自己另有安排，然后开始拿出行动吧。相信我，一旦开始你就会感到妙不可言。

    5.Don'tMultitask

    不要一心多用

    虽然同时处理多个任务会使你感到很有效率（因为一直在忙），但其实很耗时间。坚持一次只做一件事，你会更专注更有效率：与其匆忙“鬼画符”后又返工，还不如先专心做好一件事呢。

    6.StayFocused

    保持专注

    工作时一定要努力保持专注。当然，你可能会时不时想到“该查看邮件了”或“办公桌真该整理一下了”，但请记住：这些都只是一时想法，不要陷进去。如果你工作时想到别的事情，比如“我真得打电话给乔了”，那就在纸上-->>
