放置大石头的艺术：让你的效率翻倍

放置大石头。检查你的一周安排，先把已经有预约的事情列出来，然后把你的大石头放进去。最好把它们放到一个你绝对能有时间去完成的时候，而非最忙碌的时刻，也不要放太少的时间，要让自己有时间去完成。

Leave space for the incoming pebbles. That’s your MIT for the day. If there are less important MITs, you can put them in the schedule, but don’t put too much. A tight schedule tends to bump into itself, pushing things back when other things inevitably take too long.

留些空间。每天早晨，检查你的大石头和MITs，不要让自己的日程安排太紧凑。紧凑的日程安排只会让安排的事情混淆，把已经订好的事情往后推迟。

Do it early. If you can, place your Big Rocks first thing in the morning. Don’t schedule them for later in the day if possible, because by that time, a few fires have come up, and the Big Rock will get pushed back as always.

尽早完成。如果可以，把大石头放在早晨做，尽量不要放到傍晚或者晚上。因为傍晚和晚上只会让你产生拖延的想法。

Be Proud. When your week’s done, look back on it — if you got any (or all!) of the Big Rocks done, be proud of yourself and happy. It feels good!

感到自豪。如果你的大石头都完成了，哇哦！为自己鼓掌，欢呼～

How does this simple method make you more productive? Well, productivity isn’t about doing a lot of stuff. It’s about getting the important stuff done. But if you’re running around doing all the little stuff … sure, you did a lot and you were very busy, but how much did you really accomplish? Oftentimes we can look back on our week and say, “I didn’t get a lot done, but I sure was stressed doing it!”
