放置大石头的艺术：让你的效率翻倍

Make a list. At the beginning of the week — Sunday evening or Monday morning — write out the Big Rocks that you want to accomplish this week. These should be the important things — if you looked back on the week and said you did them, you would be proud of having done them. Be sure to include not only work stuff, but some of the tasks that will further along your life’s goals and dreams.

列任务清单。在每周的开始——周日晚上或是周一早晨——列下你本周最希望完成的任务。必须是那些最重要的事情——那些当你回顾一周所做的事时你会为你做了它们而感到自豪的事情。你要确保你列下的不止是那些工作事项，而是那些和你更长远的目标和梦想相关的任务。

Keep it short. In the beginning, just have 4-6 … you don’t need to try to do 10 or more Big Rocks, especially not at first. Later, you may get better at judging how many Big Rocks you can do in a week, but for now, shoot for about one per day.

任务不要列太多。刚刚开始为下一周做计划时，只需要写4～6个大石头。不要一开始就列出10多个大石头，如果未完成它们，就只会打击你的自信心。以后你就要判断自己每周应该能完成多少重要的事，不要超额。

Place the Rocks. Look at your weekly schedule. If you don’t have one, write out the days of the week with one-hour blocks. Write out pre-existing appointments. Now take your Big Rocks, and put them in the schedule. Try to put them in a spot where you know you’ll get them done. Not a spot that’s traditionally too busy to concentrate, and not in a little half-hour window between meetings. Give yourself time to do it.
