1. Embrace Your Fear
You are not, contrary to what your mother may have told you, different from the rest of us. We all get distracted. We all get annoyed when a productive moment is interrupted. We all get fed up when scheduled events don』t go as planned. If you allow trepidation to sneak into your mind at the prospect of distractions, you』ll cripple your productive abilities.
Fearing distractions also fosters resentment against the ones doing the distracting. Recognize that you will be distracted sometimes and accept those distractions as opportunities to improve. You can』t stop distractions but you can keep them from taking over your day. This is your time!

鼓起勇氣,不要害怕
你就是你,和你母親口中要求的那個人,身邊的其他人都不一樣。每個人都會有分心的時候,告訴自己,沒有人能做到一直聚精會神,全神貫注,你也不例外。


2. Plan For Interruptions
Effective planning is a cornerstone of the productive lifestyle. Planning for interruptions might seem impossible. Does it to you? Here』s an easy visualization that will help you get started with your planning:
Start each work session by drawing a few squares on a small piece of scrap paper. These represent distractions that will almost certainly pop up. As you encounter and conquer distractions, put a check mark in the appropriate box. After awhile you』ll be able to do this in your head. Sounds easy, right? An expected distraction has no power over your day. You still have control.

為那些打岔的事做準備
一個有效的計劃必須包括以外情況所需的時間,雖然這看起來很難做到。每天,你都提前在便條紙上,留下解決難題的時間,當碰到一個難題時,就記下來,常此以 往,你就清楚自己可能會遇到的問題了。是不是很簡單呢,這樣你的生活就很難被打斷了。


3. Delegate And Postpone
Once you』ve identified an interruption as something that needs attention and not just a nascent longing to goof off, try to postpone your involvement. The brute way of doing this is to shout out, 「I don』t have time right now. Don』t bother me!」
The classy option is a bit more involved. Take a moment to understand what the distraction involves. Is somebody dying? Is there a deadline you』ve forgotten? Is there a networking opportunity here? If it turns out that you』re not facing an emergency, postpone your involvement and delegate as much of the detail work to somebody with available resources.

委託或者推遲
如果你的計劃被一件複雜的事給絆住了,很難脫身,如果不是很急或必須你來完成的事的話,試著交給其他人去完成。


4. Attack Procrastination
It』s safe to say that most of us welcome far more distractions than we should. Why? Because we』re chronic procrastinators and distractions offer us a way to slack off without being overtly lazy. The simplest way to attack procrastination is to synthesize urgency with truncated deadlines. If it normally takes you 3 hours to do something, hit the bathroom, grab a glass of water, set a timer for 90 minutes, and tear into your work! This won』t work for every project but it』s a lot of fun when it does!

拒絕拖延
每個人都有惰性,打擾我們的事情正好得了我們拖延的藉口,但我們必須拒絕它,告訴自己,如果這件事最遲3小時完成,你就設定一個計劃在2小時內完成。


5. Split Your Day Into Targets
Distractions are most dangerous to the person working without short-term goals. You can keep yourself out of the danger zone by setting targets throughout your day. You』ll probably only need to do this for tasks you really don』t want to complete. For example:
Send uncomfortable email by 9am
Complete meeting agenda by 12pm
Say pleasant thing to annoying boss by 2pm
The power in this process is that you now have time-sensitive targets to steer toward once you』ve escaped distractions. That 8:45am phone conversation that might have gone on for an hour? Nixed by the email deadline. Crops dying on Farmville at 11am? Overruled by the meeting agenda!

定一個日計劃
正常的工作被打斷後,一天的任務就很難完成了,除非你提前給自己定了一寫小任務。每一天給自己定幾個小任務可以讓自己更容易收穫


6. Limit Inputs
The more you limit channels people can use to distract you, the less likely it is that you』ll be distracted. It takes strength of character to ignore social media and your ever-friendly smartphone. It takes trust in the people who work for you to step away from the rush of business and crunch numbers in the back room. It』s hard to disconnect because we often feel a tinge of irrelevance when we step out of the rush.
Do it. Your results will be proof that it was worth the effort.

減少受干擾的機會
你越是減少與容易干擾自己的人的接觸的機會,你就越不容易受干擾。


7. Batch Outputs
Responding to emails in batches and scheduling a block of time to make phone calls can seem like a dreary way to do business but it』s a highly effective way to keep distractions at arms length. Batching is even more effective in minimizing the collateral damage caused by Twitter and other social networks if you jump in without a set time frame.
To get started, make a list of the things you must do every day to maintain good communication in your business and throughout your social networks. Give each tool or action it』s own time slot and allow a bit of margin at the end. You won』t get the momentary social high of constant real-time interactions but the long-term benefits will make up for your loss.

分批完成
每天的一開始,弄清楚自己要做哪些事,並劃出固定的時間來進行人際交流,這麼做在短時間裡好像是沒必要的,但是長期來看你還是很受益的。


8. Communicate Your Schedule To Others
When it comes to managing people-based distractions, communication is key. Need to finish a project? Let the people in your work group know that you』ll be off-limits until a certain time. Trying to finish a freelance project in a houseful of kids? Let them know that unless somebody is dying or the house is burning down, you』ll murder a kitten if they interrupt you.
Obviously, if you haven』t taken the time to create a realistic schedule for yourself, sharing that schedule won』t help as much.

與別人交流。
當你的計劃被別人打斷的時候,交流也很重要,你可以告訴對方,你正在趕一個項目,讓對方瞭解你暫時無法脫身。


9. Begin With The Main Point
When you encounter a distraction, get to the heart of it immediately. Your 「get to the point」 style may go over badly with some people who prefer to give back story before sharing their main point. Apologize for any possible rudeness and ask for the main point anyway.
Once you know the main point you can ask for supporting information and make a smart decision about what to do before getting back to work.

分清主次,抓住要害。
當你別意外的事干擾的時候,試著去找這件事的核心,如果可以,你直接問一下知道的人,雖然這看起來不是很禮貌,但會節省你的時間。知道關鍵點之後,你就可 以收集相關的信息,準備接下來做的事。
