We all have the same 24 hours in a day.
When you see certain individuals achieve a level of unimaginable success, it's not because they have more hours in the day than you. It's because somehow they've figured out how to deploy those hours in a way that is more effective and more productive, and allows for compounding results.
我们所有人的一天都是24小时
当你看到某些人取得难以想象的成功时，并不是因为他们一天里的时间比你多。这是因为他们知道如何以一种更有效、更高效的方式来安排这些时间，并考虑到复杂的结果。
Whether your goal is to take your career to the next level or just to have more control over your schedule, these are the nine professional life hacks you absolutely need to implement in your daily routine:
无论你的目标是将你的职业生涯提升到一个新的水平，还是仅仅为了更好地管理你的日程安排，以下是你在日常生活中绝对需要实践的九项职业生涯技巧：
1. Set alarms for everything.
I know I'm not the only person who lives by the mantra, "If it's not in my mobile calendar, it doesn't happen."
With an increase in responsibilities, you can't expect yourself to remember everything. In fact, it's a waste of brainpower. Just set reminders and show up when you need to. It's that easy.
1.为一切事项设置提醒。
我知道我不是唯一一个符合“如果一件事不在我的手机日程里，我就会忘记”这句话的人
随着所负责的事项的增加，你不能指望自己什么都记得。事实上，这是在浪费脑力。只需设置提醒，并在到点的时候响起，就这么简单。
2. If someone wants to schedule a call, send a Google calendar invite.
Building on the above, if someone emails you are requesting a call--or if you email someone to schedule a call--always, always, always send a Google call invite.
2.如果你想安排一个电话，请发送一个谷歌日程邀请。
在上面的基础上，如果有人给你发邮件要求打电话——或者你给别人发邮件安排一个电话——务必，务必，务必发送一个谷歌电话邀请。
4. Don't start your day by answering emails. Start with your most difficult tasks.
Start your morning with a tough task. Work through the hard stuff earlier on, and save the mind-numbing email tasks for lunch or later in the day. But don't waste those precious morning hours responding to other people's requests.
They can wait. (And that's not out of disrespect--just an awareness of protecting your time.)
4.不要以回复电子邮件来开始你的一天。从你最棘手的任务开始。
从一项艰巨的任务开始你的早晨。早点完成那些困难的事情，把那些让人麻木的邮件任务留到中午或今天的晚些时候。但是不要浪费宝贵的早晨时间去回应别人的请求。
他们可以等。（这并不是不尊重——只是一种要保护自己时间的意识。）
5. Do free work for someone you very badly want to learn from.
If you're good at what you do, that free work almost always leads to bigger and better opportunities.
5.为你非常想学习的人做义务工作。
如果你擅长自己的工作，那么那项义务工作几乎总是会带来更大更好的机会。
6. Save more than you spend.
Having money in the bank is what allows you to take risks, build more significant ideas, and ultimately live a more fulfilling life. So, by any means necessary, work toward a lifestyle that allows you to save more than you spend.
This, in itself, will change your outlook on life.
6.相比花钱，请存下更多的钱
在银行里存钱会让你有能力承担风险，并且建立更重要的思路，最终过上更充实的生活。所以，无论如何，都要努力建立存钱比花钱多的生活习惯。
而这本身也会改变你的人生观。

#5: HACKS TO GET MORE TIME!
1. Learn to say NO to things that don’t align with your goals.
2. Screw perfectionism. Nothing is perfect. Screw perfect, Aim for “good enough”.
3. If a task can be automated. AUTOMATE IT! E.g. monthly bank payments.
4. Learn to delegate. You don’t need to do everything yourself, let people help you.
#6: THE DIVIDE & CONQUER PRINCIPLE
How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at the time.
Achieving a goal is like eating an elephant, you've got to do it one bit at the time.
You can’t eat an elephant in one sitting. But you can build your appetite for planning–and take small bites out of your biggest goals every single day.
When you break your goals into a thousand small chunks, it will be much easier to stay focused. Why? Because the baby-goals are realistic and motivate you to stay focused.
Therefore…
Presenting the Divide & Conquer Principle
1. Divide your goals into a thousand pieces.
2. Conquer each one of those goals.
3. —> Success!
#5：得到更多的时间的技巧！
1.学会对不符合你目标的事情说不。
2.丢掉完美主义。没有什么是完美的。丢掉完美主义，以“足够好”为目标。
3.一项任务如果能自动化完成，就让它自动化！比如：每月银行付款。
4.学会委托。你不需要什么事情都自己做，让别人来帮你。
#6： 分而治之原则
如何吃下一头大象？
答案是一次咬一口。
实现一个目标就像吃一头大象，你必须一次做一点。
你不能一次吃掉一整头大象。但是你可以培养做规划的习惯——每天从你最大的目标中咬下一口。
当你把你的目标分成一千小块时，你会更容易集中注意力。为什么？因为小目标更加现实，激励你保持专注
因此…
贯彻分而治之原则
1.把你的目标分成一千块。
2.征服每一个目标。
3.->成功！
#7: DRINK A GLASS OF WATER BEFORE YOU EAT
Nothing counteracts overeating like this.
Try it out and be amazed!
Wow. That was a short one. 3 to go!
#7:吃饭前喝一杯水
没有什么能比这样做更能对抗暴饮暴食。
尝试一下吧，你会感到惊讶的！
哇，这一条真短，还剩3条了
#8: CREATE A MORNING ROUTINE
There is a reason that every productivity expert out there recommends having a daily morning routine. How you start your day makes you focused on what's important.
Want some motivation? Productivity coach Zack Sexton’s morning routine looks like this:
1. Water (20oz. often w/ lemon)
2. Cuddles (w/ fiancée Nikida)
3. Coffee
4. Meditation
5. Read something inspirational (often in sauna)
6. Shower (if sauna-ed)
7. Look at calendar
8. Start first journal entry in Evernote (including prompts about something learned, things to be grateful for, and what to focus on for the day)
#8： 建立一个早晨的例行事项
每一位效率专家都建议设立日常早晨事项是有原因的。如何开始你的一天会让你集中精力于最重要的事情上面
想要点动力吗？效率教练扎克·塞克斯顿（Zack Sexton）早上的例行事项如下：
1.水（20盎司，通常含柠檬）
2.拥抱
3.咖啡
4.冥想
5.读一些鼓舞人心的东西（通常在桑拿房里）
6.淋浴（桑拿）
7.看日历
8.在Evernote中开始第一个每日条目（包括关于学到的东西、要感恩的事情以及这一天要关注的事情的提示）
#9: EXERCISE
I know. You can’t read a self-improvement tip without reading about this one.
But there is a reason for that.
Exercise is amazing.
Why?
· Health improvement —> Adding muscle mass. Weight loss.
· Mental improvement —> Develop brain health and memory. Reduce depression.
· Mental Break from life —> See exercise as an opportunity to take a break from life. A place where your mind can rest and your body can work.
· Capacity boost —> Boost energy levels. Helps you conquer the world.
· Creative flow → Having trouble solving your problems? Go out for a run and experience flows of creativity!
#9： 锻炼
我知道。如果你没有读到这一条，你看的就不是一篇真正的关于自我提升的指南
但这是有原因的。
锻炼好处多多。
为什么？
·改善健康状态->增加肌肉量，减肥。
·改善心理状态->促进大脑健康和记忆力。减少抑郁。
·从生活中获得精神上的休息->将锻炼视为从生活中获得喘息的机会。它是一种让你的大脑得以休息，让你的身体可以工作的方式。
·能力提升->提升能量水平。帮助你征服世界。
·创意的源泉→解决问题遇到困难？出去跑步，体验一下创意的源泉！
#10: Just do it.
Throw caution to the wind and just do it. - Carrie Underwood
These tips are useless if you don’t start taking action. Every self-help book comes down until this one principle. JUST DO IT!
#10： 说做就做。
把谨慎抛诸脑后，就这么做吧。-凯丽·安德伍德
如果你不采取行动，这些建议是没有用的。每一本关于自我帮助的书都会有这么一条原则，说做就做！

Actually, learning for yourself allows you to understand it from the ground up, not as someone else understood it, which means you have a chance to innovate and create, and make something better. What you’re saying is that you should never learn to draw, you should just get tracing paper and copy everyone else’s work… which will never impress anyone OR give you any skill sets.
事实上，自学可以让你从一开始就理解它，而不是像别人理解的那样，这意味着你有机会去创新和创造，做得更好。你的意思是，你永远不应该学画画，你应该拿着描图纸，复制别人的作品……这不会给任何人留下深刻印象，也不会让你获得任何技能。

真正的唯一力量是执行力

It seems too ideal, i don’t think that everyone have time to read something in the sauna in the morning …
这太理想化了，我不认为每个人都有时间在早晨的桑拿浴中阅读

Below are 10 professional life hacks which will make your life a lot easier:
1. Begin your work with the most important/hardest task
This technique is also referred to as “Eat the frog”. According to this, do that task which is hardest and of the utmost importance first. This helps you overcome problems like procrastination, and provides the feeling of accomplishment which keeps you motivated.
以下是10个职业生活小技巧，可以让你的生活轻松很多：
1从最重要/最难的任务开始你的工作
这个技巧也被称为“吃青蛙”。根据这一点，首先要做最困难和最重要的任务。这有助于你克服拖延症等问题，并提供成就感，使你保持动力。
2. Plan for Monday, on Friday
Monday mornings suck for most people. If you plan for your Monday before the weekend, you won’t have to play catch-up, you can get back to work. Monday sets the tone for the whole week, so if your Monday is productive, so will the rest of the week.
2在星期五的时候做好星期一的规划
星期一早上对大多数人来说都很糟糕。如果你在周末前规划好星期一，你就不用赶时间了，你可以回到工作中来。星期一为整个星期定下基调，所以如果你的星期一是富有成效的，那么这周的其余时间也会如此。
3. Buy plants for your office
Instead of buying air-fresheners for your office, go down to your local garden store and pick up some herbs like rosemary, mint, or basil. Not only will these plants leave a good smell, but research suggests that gazing at it for a few minutes can reduce your stress and increase productivity.
3.为你的办公室买一些盆栽
与其为你的办公室买空气清新剂，不如去当地的花店买一些香草，比如迷迭香、薄荷或罗勒。这些植物不仅会留下很好的气味，而且研究表明，盯着它看几分钟可以减轻你的压力，提效率。
4. Make a schedule and stick to it
Only making a schedule is not enough. Make sure you stick to it. Set up a reward system to make sure you are doing the tasks.
4制定一个时间表并坚持下去
仅仅制定时间表是不够的。一定要坚持下去。建立一个奖励系统来确保你专注于任务。
5. Type the address in last
There must have been moments in your life when you’ve mistakenly sent the mail before typing it whole. This happens to everyone at some point in their lives. You can avoid this by typing the email address at the end.
5在最后才输入地址
在你的生活中，你一定经历过，你在把邮件打完整之前就把它错发了。这在每个人的生活中都会发生。您可以通过在最后才输入电子邮件地址来避免这种情况。
6. Don’t give a reason unless asked
Whenever you are late for a deadline, the first thing we do is apologise and list out the reasons/excuses for not being able to do the task. The other person might have even noticed that you submitted it late. So, don’t give out reasons unless asked.
6除非被询问，不然不要说明缘由
每当你在截止日期前未能完成任务时，我们首先要做的就是道歉，列出不能完成任务的原因/借口。对方可能已经注意到你迟交了。所以，除非被问，否则不要说明缘由。
7. Make 2 deadlines
For every task you have to do, make two deadlines. One is the deadline when you have to actually submit. But make another deadline for yourself which is before the actual deadline. This is to make sure that if something wrong happens, you have some time left.
7设定2个截止日期
对于你要做的每一项任务，都要设定两个截止日期。一个是你必须提交的最后期限。但是给自己定一个比实际截止日期早的截止日期。这是为了确保如果发生了意外，你还留有一些时间。
8. If you’re running late, pick up coffees and doughnuts
Everyone is late to work at some point in their lives. When you’re late the next time, grab some coffees and doughnuts. No one will scold you- instant smiles.
8如果你要迟到了，去买咖啡和甜甜圈
每个人在一生中都会迟到几次。下次迟到的时候，带些咖啡和甜甜圈。没有人会责骂你-大家会瞬间露出微笑。
9. Put your phone on ‘do not disturb’
Whenever you’re working on something important, put your phone on silent or ‘do not disturb.’ This will help you concentrate on your work.
9把电话设置成“请勿打扰”状态
当你在做重要的事情时，把手机调到静音或“请勿打扰”状态，这样可以帮助你集中精力工作。
10. Network
You must have heard “Your network is your net worth”. And trust me, it’s true. You must network with people outside your office. But have you ever tried networking with people in your office? Start networking with the HR personnel, IT staff, assistants, etc. These people understand how the company works and can help you out in sticky situations. You can even use my app Metvy to do the same :)
10关系网
你一定听说过“你的关系网就是你的净资产”。相信我，这是真的。你必须和办公室外的人建立关系。但你有没有试过和办公室里的人建立关系？开始与人力资源人员、IT人员、助理等建立关系。这些人了解公司的运作方式，可以在你困难的情况下帮助你。你甚至可以使用我的应用程序Metvy来做同样的事情：）
