标上。这样做不但可以提醒自己,而且还有助于完成工作的工夫分配。
Write it Down (on Your Todo List) - What do you put on your todo list? Many people only
write down the big things.Ironically,the big things are usually pretty easy to remember.
It is the small ones that you need to write down.Put it on your list… that is what it is
for。
写下来(写在待办事项清单上)。你在待办事项清单上写了什么呢?很多人就只是写下大事情。讽刺
的是,记大事情通常都相当轻易。而那些小事情才是你真正需要写下来的。把它们写在这张清单上,这
才是它的真正功用。
Set a Reminder – Alarms are great for one-offs.However,for regular or repeating
tasks go ahead and set a reminder.For example,I have a reminder on my iPhone that goes
off every Wednesday at 7AM to tell me to put the trash out.9 times out of 10,I have
already put it out.But,the few times I hadn't… it worked like a charm。
设置提醒。闹钟对于一次性提示特别有效。但是对于定期或是重复的工作,就来设置一个提醒吧。
例如,我在iPhone上设置了一个提醒,让它在每周三早上7点钟的时分提醒我丢垃圾,10次中有9次我都
已经把垃圾丢了出去。但是也有为数不多的几次是我还没有去丢垃圾……这种提醒就像是个魔咒似的。
Do It Now,So You Don't Have to Remember Later – This one sounds like cheating,but
the best way to avoid forgetting a task is to do it immediately.When appropriate,do small
tasks right then and there.If it is only going to take a few seconds or minutes… Just Do
It Now。
赶紧做,这样你就不用之后还要记着了。这一条看起来比较投机取巧,但是避免忘记一项任务最好
的方法其实就是赶紧着手开始做。在恰当的时分立马着手做一些小事情。如果这些事情完成只需要分分
钟工夫……那么现在就赶紧做吧。
