For example, today I started work at 9:30 and I am finishing this article at around 11:30.例如,今天我從9:30開始,大約到11:30,寫完了這篇文章。假如我夠誠實,在我兩小時的工作時間里,我花了大約40分鐘寫這篇文章,大約20分鐘回復(fù)業(yè)務(wù)相關(guān)的電子郵件。My productivity then was 60 minutes of work / 120 minutes of available time = 50%那么我的工作效率就是 60分鐘的工作時間/120分鐘的支配時間=50%。I have now measured my productivity and realized the painful truth: I spent only 25% of my available time working towards my goals and wasted the rest of my time doing unimportant things.我衡量過我的工作效率并痛苦的發(fā)現(xiàn):我的時間只有25%用來做正事,而大部分時間都浪費在了無關(guān)緊要的事情上了。我相信意識到自己浪費了多少時間是至關(guān)重要的,因為這個痛苦的發(fā)現(xiàn)將促使我們下定決心去最合理的利用我們的時間,也使我們更加警惕時間的浪費。Consciously being aware of the benefit of greater productivity and of our wasted time are then the necessary ‘carrot and stick’ that will drive us to success and fulfillment.有意識的去體驗高效工作的效益和浪費時間的弊端,這種必要的“胡蘿卜加大棒”,定會推動我們走向成功
