Weekends, ideally, provide you the opportunity to catch up on sleep, get some needed social and family time, and generally recharge your batteries. With that in mind, you might want to consider really getting off and running early in the next week, before your batteries become depleted again.

周末，通常你可以美美地睡上一觉，也可以和家人朋友小聚一番，这样你就又浑身充满了活力。考虑到这个，下周在你的电力再次耗尽之前，你可能会想早点下车飞奔到公司。

That's the logic behind one productivity tip: Schedule your most important tasks each week for Monday and Tuesday.

高效工作的秘密就是：把你最重要的工作通通安排在一周的前两天。

Spend less time worrying about planning exactly how long every activity will take you to do and more time front-loading your calendar by putting your most important activities with deadlines early in the day and early in the week. For example, something due on Friday should start appearing in your schedule by Tuesday afternoon.

别费神去想做每件具体的事情会花掉你多少时间，而是要在每天、每周的时间节点前尽早完成你最重要的事情。举例说来，星期五截止的事情你应该星期二下午就着手去做了。

Why Pay It Forward? The benefits of this strategy are plentiful.

为什么要把事情提前做呢？好处是非常多的。
