Time Management

Do you ever wish you had more time? Everyone gets the same amount of time each day. But here are some ways to use those hours better. As a popular saying says, “Work smarter, not harder. ”

The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities（优先权）.【1】Also, consider whether or not they are urgent—if they need to be done right away. It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent, so make time for them.

Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day. Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone. Then you can make sure everything gets done.

【2】Are you smarter in the morning, afternoon or evening? Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good, saving easy ones for when you're tired.

Write down what you need to do and when. I keep two to-do lists: one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on.【3】 And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish. I focus on the shorter list of each day's tasks.

【4】When someone wants to give you a task, think carefully. Is it really important enough to spend your precious（宝贵的）time on? Could someone else do it instead?

【5】If you're in charge of running a meeting, keep it short. Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time. Don't allow it.

In the end, using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it.

A. Think about the time of day you work best.

B. That way I can make sure I don't forget anything.

C. Figure out（弄明白）which of your tasks is the most important.

D. Often, managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important.

E. Meetings also tend to be a waste of time, so avoid them whenever possible.
