哲理文章：如何按對的順序做對的事
摘錄：效率是按照對的順序做對的事情。爲了使工作效率最大化，你得按照合適的順序將最重要的事放在首位。效率並不總是與做完事情的多少有關，而是在於是否做了正確的事。確保你列好了今天的做事順序，以及每天做事的順序。
You work your to do list all day long.
However, when the day ends you find that several of your most important todos are still undone.
一整天都是根據日程表工作的，
但是，一天結束的時候你發現有幾件最重要的事情沒有做。
How can that be?
You got many things done, but are left wondering if they were the right things. Looking back, most of your completed items appear to be of low priority and low impact.
怎麼會那樣呢?
你做了很多事，但是想想這些事是否合適。回顧一下，你已經做完的事是不是不那麼重要，影響也不是那麼大。
The question you need to ask yourself is, “Am I doing the right Tasks in the right order?”
你應該問問你自己，“我是否是按照合適的順序做事?”
The Right Tasks
對的事
You keep a todo list and let it remember your tasks so you don’t have to.
按着日程表做事，讓它幫你記住你不必做的事。
You check your list regularly and stick to items from it.
Yet, when your day ends, you feel like you have accomplished many tasks, but not the ones that you needed to get done.
It doesn’t matter how many tasks you complete if you are doing the wrong ones or have them out of priority.
經常查看你的日程表，堅持按着日程表做。一天結束的時候，你感覺你已經完成了很多事，但是那個你應該做的事卻是沒有做。要是你沒有按照日程表的先後順序做，而且還把順序弄錯了，不管你做了多少都是沒用的。
“Productivity is about doing the right tasks in the right order.”
“效率是按照對的順序做對的事情。”
To maximize your productivity efforts, you need to be doing your most important tasks first.
爲了使工作效率最大化，你得將最重要的事放在首位。
In the Right Order
按照合適的順序
Take a look at your list now.
現在瀏覽一下你的日程表。
Are your tasks in priority order? Or are they all jumbled up with some of your most important tasks buried behind low impact ones?
待完成的事是否是按照輕重緩急順序排列的?或者那些重要的事都被排在了影響不是很大的事項之後的?
Capturing all your todos is key. However, the trick is to keep them in the right order.
抓住日程表中的關鍵事項。但是，這些小技巧都能保證做事的時候是按照合適的順序。
Here are 5 Tips to Make Sure You Are Doing the Right Tasks in the Right Order:
這裏有5個小技巧可以讓你按照對的順序做對的事：
Prioritize – Do you take the time to prioritize your todo list? It is amazing that so few people actually do this. In fact, many todo apps are missing the ability to prioritize tasks. Take a few minutes to put your tasks in order by their importance.
劃分優先順序-你會花時間去排列好做事情的先後順序嗎?奇怪的是很少有人會做這樣的事。實際上，許多電子備忘錄都沒有發揮其真正的作用。花幾分鐘把你的任務按照優先順序列好。
Today List – Keep your highest priority tasks together. These are the 3–5 tasks that will absolutely positively get done today… no matter what. You can put them in their own “Today List” category or in Wunderlist you can “star” your todos to identify them.
當日的日程表-把極其重要的事項放到一起。有3-5個任務是當天必須要完成的，不管那都是些什麼事。你可以按照合適的順序寫到“當天事項”那一欄或者雲計劃管理器中，以便你可以“標註”在你的待完成事項表中，同時能將其與其他事項區別開來。
Capture – Don’t let tasks slip by without capturing them to your list. Let your list remember so that you can clear your mind. What may seem like an inconsequential todo now, may be something of top importance later.
得引起注意-不要讓事請是由於你沒把握好時間而不能被完成。做好記錄，讓自己有更清晰的思路。那些在現在看來是不重要的事情，也許以後就是最重要的。
Do Your Work First - Make sure the tasks on your list are your tasks. You need to get your work done before you assist others. Otherwise, you will end up doing everyone else’s work, but none of your own.
首先是做自己的工作-一定要讓你自己的工作在你的日程表上。在幫助別人之前要先做好自己的工作。否則，你是幫別人把事做完了，但是自己的事卻是沒有做完。
At the Right Time – Some tasks are better performed at certain times. Time of day, mood, and energy level all play a factor in your productivity. Make sure you are doing the right tasks at the right time based on your daily cycles.
選擇對的時間-在某些時候做某些事情，得到的效果可能會更好。那一天的時間，心情，精力都會影響你的效率。確保自己每天都要是在對的時間做對的事情。
Do the Right Things First
首先是做對的事
Productivity isn’t always about getting the most number of todos done, but rather the right ones.
效率並不總是與做完事情的多少有關，而是在於是否做了正確的事。
Getting a few of your top tasks done is better than finishing 15 miscellaneous ones.
只做完最重要的幾件事也好過你做完15件亂七八糟的事。
Make sure you order your list today and every day.
確保你列好了今天的做事順序，以及每天做事的順序。
And always ask, “Am I doing the right tasks in the right order?”
時常問問自己，“我是否是按照正確的順序做的正確的事?”
