把你最重要的工作安排在你最能關注的時候

如果你像大多數人一樣,整天努力保持專注。也許你被你的辦公桌上的電話弄得心煩意亂,或者你似乎不能在會議期間遠離電子郵件和Facebook
與其責怪自己,還不如採取步驟,以更好地瞭解你的模式。
注意你在一周中關注力會在何時消退。一天中你能集中注意力幾天?你什麼時候發現你的重心在搖晃?大多數人的注意力都集中在早晨,午餐後下降到最低。這種模式是因人而異的,所以學習你的具體模式,並用它來計畫你的一天。
確保你將最重要的活動和會議安排在你的注意力最强的時候。當你的焦點最弱時,處理優先順序較低的項目。不要屈服於分心——注意什麼樣的事情會使你脫軌,盡力避免讓它發生。

Schedule Your Most Important Work for When You’re Most Focused
If you’re like most people, you struggle to maintain focus throughout the day. Maybe you’re distracted by your phone buzzing at your desk, or you can’t seem to stay off email and Facebook during meetings.
Instead of beating yourself up, take steps to better understand your patterns.
For one week, pay attention to when your focus waxes and wanes. What times of day are you able to concentrate? When do you find your focus faltering? Most people’s focus peaks in the morning and dips to its lowest after lunch. The pattern varies from person to person, so learn your specific pattern and use it to plan your day.
Make sure your most important activities and meetings are scheduled around the times when your focus is strongest. Tackle lower-priority items when your focus is weakest. And don’t give in to distractions — notice what kinds of things derail you and do your best to avoid them.
