Take Back 10 Minutes in Your Day
每天回收10分鐘的時間
You can’t save up your time. You have to use it all each and every day. However, you can choose how you use your time. And you can choose to eliminate those small time wasters that eat up your day.
你不可能把你的時間省下來，你不每天都得使用它。但是，你可以選擇如何利用你的時間。你也可以選擇剔除那些浪費你時間的小事。

Here Are 10 Ways to Save 10 Minutes in Your Day:
下面是10種讓你每天節省10分鐘的方法：
1. Get Up Early – Want more time in your day? Try getting up earlier. Even a few minutes will give your day a head start. Be an early bird.
早起——你想要更多的時間嗎？ 試着早一些起牀。 即使是很少的幾分鐘都會給你的一天開個好頭，做一隻早起鳥。
2. Plan Your Day – Don’t rush into your day without knowing what you need to do and what you are going to do. A few minutes planning now, can save you much trouble and stress later in the day.
規劃你的一天——不要在不知道你今天必須做什麼和將要做什麼的時候，就匆匆忙忙地開始你的一天。 事先規劃幾分鐘， 可以幫你在隨後的時間裏省去許多的麻煩和壓力。
3. Time-shift Your Commute – Do you spend too much time commuting to and from work? Shifting the time of your commute even a short bit earlier can make all the difference.
改變你的上下班時間——你是不是要花費很多的時間在上下班路上？試着改變你的上下班時間，哪怕只是早一點點都會讓所有發生改變。
4. Don’t Read the News – I am a big proponent of not reading the news. How many times a day do you check it? It’s probably the same 99% of the time. And it will be there for you later when you want to catch up.
不要看新聞——我堅決支持不看新聞。你一天有多少次看新聞？99%的時間裏新聞都是一樣的。而且當你之後想要趕上進度的時候，新聞還是會在那裏，可以等會兒再看。
5. Don’t Check Facebook - Do you really need to know what your “friends” are doing ever second of the day? Live your life instead of vicariously living through the status updates of others. Trust me, you aren’t missing anything.
不要查看社交網絡——你是不是真的需要知道你的“朋友們”每一秒都在做什麼？ 過你自己的生活，而不是那種由別人更新的狀態代替的生活。 相信我，你不會錯過任何事情。6. End the Meeting on Time – Don’t let that meeting go over its time limit. Don’t let it eat into the rest of your day. End it on time if it is your meeting. If you are stuck in someone else’s meeting, here is a magical phrase, “Excuse me, I have another appointment.”
準時結束會議——不要讓會議超過了它原定的時間限制，不要讓它霸佔你其他的時間。 如果這是你主持的會議，就要準時結束它。如果你被困在了其他人的會議中，有一個靈活的藉口幫你擺脫：“不好意思，我還有另外一個會面安排。”
7. Don’t Complain – Complaining doesn’t get anything done. Save your breath. Instead, do something. Take action. Take those 10 minutes and invest them in something productive.
不要抱怨——抱怨不會讓你完成任何事兒。省省力氣吧。做其他的事情，行動起來。利用這10分鐘把它們用在更有效的事情中。
8. Bring your lunch – Do you go out to lunch every day? How much time are you spending driving down the road to wait and eat mediocre food? Pack your lunch and eat at the office. You will regain time and might just get to go home early.
自帶午餐——你是不是每天都出去吃午飯？你要爲了一頓普通的飯，浪費多少時間在開車去吃飯的路上和等待上菜的間歇？自帶午餐然後在辦公室裏吃。你就可以回收時間，然後就可以早點下班回家。
9. Skip That Line – Where do you spend time in line? Again, moving your schedule up by 10 minutes might just save you twice that, whether it is running errands, at the doctor’s office, or even at the elevator.
跳過排隊等待——你在哪裏花費時間排隊等待？同樣的，把你的計劃提前十分鐘可能可以幫你節省兩倍的時間，無論你是出差在外還是在醫院甚至是在電梯裏。
10. Get Help – Don’t let your stubbornness or pride keep you from asking for help when you need it. Instead, of wasting time on a problem you are having difficulty solving, get some assistance.
尋求幫助——當你需要幫助時，不要讓你的固執和驕傲阻止你尋求幫助，你應該去尋求幫助而不是在一個你很難解決的問題中浪費時間。
Add Up Your Time
合計你的時間
Take back the time in your day 10 minutes at a time. It adds up pretty quick. Do just six of these and you will have an extra hour in your day today. Then you’ll have to ask, “What would I do with an extra hour today?”
每天節省10分鐘，它會積累得很快。只要節省六次這樣的時間，你就能在你的生活中有額外的1小時時間。然後你會情不自禁地問，“今天這1個小時我做什麼好呢？”
