节约时间好方法只需五分钟学会时间管理

Here's a simple way to potentially save hours of your time each week, by investing a total of about five minutes.

介绍一种能够帮助你每周都能预先节约下好多时间的简单方法，总共仅仅需要投入约5分钟的时间。

First thing one morning, take a piece of paper and write a column of numbers representing each hour from the time you wake up until you go to sleep. For me, the list would start 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1 and go all the way back to 12. (So far, you have invested about fifteen seconds.)

在早晨做的第一件事，找一张纸，写下一列数字代表你从醒来到睡着的每个小时。对我来说，这列数字会是6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1然后再回到12(到目前为止你总共花了15秒)。

For this single day, at the top of every hour stop for 20 seconds and consider how happy you are with the way you spent your time. Did you invest it wisely? If the answer is yes, don't write anything.

在这天中，每个小时的开始花20秒思考一下你是否对过去1个小时的时间利用感到满意。你是否合理地利用了?假如答案是肯定的，不要写任何东西。

But if you wouldn't repeat the way you spent the last hour, next to the number representing that hour write a few words that describes what you did. On one of my lists, for example, at 3 o’clock I wrote "pointless to talk with Ralph; doesn't listen," meaning that it was a waste of my time to meet with him.
