今天起做得更好：10招提升工作表現
1. Get organized
要有條理
First, conquer your email inbox with a system of prioritizing urgent items, putting less pressing tasks on a to-do list, and responding to and deleting any messages you can dispose of quickly.
首先，征服你的電子郵件收件箱，制訂一套優先處理緊急事項的方法，將不那麼緊迫的問題列在待辦事項清單上，回覆你能很快處理的任何信息並在完成後刪除。
2. Stop trying to multitask
停止同時處理多項任務
A 2009 Stanford study showed that heavy multitaskers had much weaker concentration than those who focused on one or two projects at a time.
2009年，一組斯坦福研究人員發佈了一份研究報告，顯示一心多用的人不能象一次專注於一或兩個項目的人那樣集中注意力。
3. Put yourself in the mindset of your boss
適應你老闆的思維方式
Empathize, pay attention to her style, and try to stay one step ahead.
體會你老闆的心理，注意她的風格，並努力先行一步。
4. Forge good relationships with colleagues
與你直接領域外的同事建立牢固的關係
That includes the staff in the human resources department, the information technology pros, and the cleaning and security work.rs.
這包括人力資源部門和信息技術部門的員工，以及保安和清潔工。
5. Focus on listening
注意傾聽
Listen closely to your boss’s requests but also listen to your colleagues and subordinates.
注意聽你老闆講什麼，但還要留意傾聽你的同事和下屬。6. Get in early
提前到達辦公室
Even 15 minutes can give you a jump start on the day. Reward yourself by leaving early if you’ve finished your work ahead of time.
哪怕15分鐘也會讓情況有所不同。如果你提前完成了工作，你就能獎勵自己提前回家。
7. Give yourself genuine downtime
確保你真正給自己放個假
This means time away from the office when you don’t check work email or think about work. Everyone needs to refuel.
這意味着你在離開工作的時候不去查看工作郵件，也不去思考與工作有關的事情。所有人都需要充電。
8. Aim for clarity and precision in communication
確保在溝通時做到清晰準確
If an email doesn’t convey the subtlety of what you’re trying to communicate, pick up the phone or schedule an in-person meeting.
如果郵件不能準確傳達你的信息，那麼請拿起電話或安排面談。
9. Be prepared
做好準備
Do plenty of research in advance of any meeting or negotiation.
在舉行任何會議或磋商前，先要進行大量的研究工作。
10. Be humble
態度謙遜
Most career advice encourages relentless self-promotion. But it can be more effective to lay out your accomplishments in an un-hyped, straightforward manner.
大多數職業建議都在鼓勵人們要不遺餘力地自我推銷，但以平實簡明的語言列出自己取得的成果會更有效果。
