4. Being perfect 4、力求完美
Although striving for perfection may be a noble principle for some, it is a huge time and energy waster. Instead of spending too much time on tweaking something, create a checklist to go through on your finalization phase. When you realize that all the items on your list are checked, you can finish your work and move on。
有些人可能喜歡力求完美,但這個習慣會浪費大量時間和精力。不要把大量時間花在工作的某一部分,做張清單,工作結尾階段用它來核對。等到單子上所有項目都核對完了,那么你的工作也就完成了,可以開始做下一項工作了。
Not only are you relieved of your accomplishment, you will also give room for your brain to focus on other things instead。
這樣做你不僅能喘口氣,而且頭腦也有充分空間來想其他事情。
5. Letting television to overrun your passion 5、把工作熱情用來看電視
When television is preventing you to take action on your passion, maybe it is time to rethink your priorities。
如果你把工作熱情用來看電視,那么你該重新考慮生活的主次問題了。
Save your TV show to your digital set-top box for later viewing instead. If you do this operation a couple of times you will form a new success habit – working on your passion first and watching television second。
你可以把電視節目存在機頂盒里,晚點再看。這種做法重復幾次,就會養成一個好習慣——先把熱情放在工作中,再看電視。
6. Multitasking 6、一心多用
You are spreading your focus and effort on too many places at once. Although you might be able to proceed on many fronts at once, it is still a very slow and error-prone way of working。
多個工作同時執行會分散注意力和精力。雖然你也許有能力同時兼顧,但是工作速度會慢,也容易出錯。
Instead, when you focus solely
on one task, you get all the work done much faster. You can put your mind fully to that task, complete it fully and move to the next task。
相反,如果你把所有注意力都集中在一項工作上,完成所有工作花的時間要少得多。你可以把自己的思想完全集中在這項工作上,完成后進入下一項工作。
