Waste Time at the Proverbial Water-cooler在茶水间浪费时间
Some people waste a large percentage of their day “chatting it up” in the workplace. Instead, get your work done, and get out.很多人会把一大块工作时间浪费在茶水间里和别人八卦。应该这样做：接完水，转身出门，坐回到位子上去。
Check Email 50 Times不停刷新邮箱
I love it when someone asks, “Did you get my email?” Um, when did you send it? “Like 10 minutes ago.” No. No, I didn’t. Check email [w]periodically[/w] when it makes sense in your schedule. And turn off those new mail dings and [w=notification]notifications[/w].最喜欢别人这样问我：“收到我的邮件没？” 额，你什么时候发的？“10分钟前。”不，我没收到。只有新邮件内容在我的日程安排上很重要时，我才会定时刷新邮箱。关掉新邮件提醒。
Answer the Phone随时接听电话
I won’t answer the phone while in the middle of something, meeting with someone else, or especially if I don’t know who is calling.我不会在做正事的半途中接听电话，比如开会、会谈；若来电的是个陌生号码，则更不会接听。
Wait For the Perfect Plan待到万事俱备只欠东风时才行动
A good plan now, always beats a perfect plan next week. Circumstances are never going to be perfect. Don’t wait. 今天有一个好计划，远胜于下周可能会产生的更完美计划。周遭环境永远不会变得百分百合心意，所以，还等什么呢？行动吧。
Attend Unnecessary Meetings参加不必要的会议
Meetings are the single biggest time-waster in the workplace. Practice the “right to decline” when you do not need to be in attendance.会议无疑是工作中最浪费时间的项目。当面对不必要的会议时，试着学会去合理地拒绝。
Work During Meetings在开会时工作
I will check my tech at the door during meetings. No open laptops. No phones or tablets. And no, you can’t work during my meeting either.我通常会在会议间隙查看电子设备。开会时，我不开笔记本、不看手机、不用平板电脑。同样，别人在参加我的会议时，也要做到这一点。
Put If Off拖延症
When it comes to the tasks I don’t want to do, I will adopt a “Just Do It Now” attitude. Do those unsavory tasks early in the day and get them out-of-the-way.当遇到我不想做的任务时，我会带着“所幸现在就把它做完吧”的态度去做。把不喜欢的事情迅速解决掉，接下来的时间里你就可以眼不见心不烦了。
Take On Unnecessary Tasks接受不必要的任务指派
I will say “No” where appropriate to tasks that are outside my domain. After all, you can’t get your work done if you are doing everyone else’s job.面对我职责范围以外的任务，我会果断说“不”。毕竟，如果连自己的事都没做好，又怎么能去做别的事呢？
Start Before I Finish半途而废
I will complete tasks to done, before starting new ones. Better to have finished the few important ones, that to have started lots of little ones.一个任务没完成以前，我不会开始做新的。先把最重要的几件事做完，剩下的零碎琐事就好办了。
