世界五大著名杂志主编分享提高效率诀窍

　　People occasionally tell you，"Do that in your free time，"but in fact there's no such thing as"free"time. Even when you're lying by the swimming pool，that's leisure time --but it isn't free time.

　　人们有时候会对你说：“在你空闲的时候做那件事吧，”但是，实际上这种“空闲”时间是没有的。即使当你躺在游泳池边时，那也是休闲时间，而非空闲时间。

　　The most successful people are those who've mastered the time-saving tactics described here.

　　大多数成功者就是那些掌握了以下几种节约时间方法的人们。

　　Stay Focused 专心致志

　　All top performers establish priorities. Helen Gurley Brown，editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan，always keeps an issue of the magazine on her desk. Whenever she's tempted to fritter away time，doing something that doesn't contribute to the magazine's success，she glances at that issue，and it gets her back on track.

　　所有获得成功的人做事都分主次。《世界主义者》月刊的主编海伦-格利-布朗总是在办公桌上放一本自己办的杂志。每当她受到什么事情引诱而消磨时间、做一些与杂志成功无关的事情时，看看那本杂志，她的注意力就会回到正事上来。

　　One way to order your priorities is to create a"to do"list. Every evening，jot down the top20 tasks to be done the next day，and review the list several times throughout the day. The best way to accomplish what's on the list is to give each task a specific time slot.

　　安排事情先后顺序的一个方法是把要做的事情列成单子。每天晚上，把第二天要做的前20项工作简要地写下来，并在这一天当中，反复看几遍这个单子。完成单子上的各项任务的最好方法是给每项工作留出一个专门的时间。
