7. Limit your choices
7. 限制你的日常选择
While you can't change the number of decisions you make for your job, you can limit daily choices at home. For instance, President Obama wears only blue or gray suits to curb unnecessary decisions. He also uses "decision" memos with three check boxes: agree, disagree and discuss.
你无法改变出于工作需求所做的决定数量,却可以限制自己在家的选择。比如,奥巴马总统只穿蓝色和灰色西装以避免不必要的选择。他也使用只有三个选项的“决定”便笺:同意,不同意和再议。
"Too much choice is paralyzing," says Sheena Iyengar, a Columbia University business professor. "You walk into your office and a bazillion people will come at you from every side -- emails, calls, meetings. Ask yourself: Are you being proactive or just reacting? If you're reacting, then half the day goes by before you say, 'Wait a minute, what am I supposed to be working on?'" Establish routines that let you focus on what you need to do first.
“选择太多让人不知所措,”哥伦比亚大学商业学教授席娜·艾扬格讲道。“你走进办公室,一大拨人从四面八方向你袭来——通过邮件,电话和会议。问问你自己:现在的你,是主动的,还是只在被动接收?如果你实在被动反应,那么在你讲“等等,我该干什么来着?”之前,大半天已经过去了。建立例行程序,让自己首先集中在需要做的事情上。
