Success tends to create clutter: more meetings, more projects, more decisions, more items on your to-do list. But often doing more can mean achieving less. 成功往往会引起生活的纷乱：开不完的会、做不完的项目和决定，任务清单上的事情越来越多。不过很多时候，做得越多反而收获的越少。 That's why subtraction can be the best addition, especially when you streamline your workday and, in the process, your professional life. 这就是为什么有时候减法往往是最好的加法。你在精简每日工作的同时，你的职业生涯也变得越发清晰。 Try a few of these: 你可以尝试下这些方法： Eliminate one "permission." 取消一种“允许” You probably don't think of it this way, but everything you do "trains" the people around you how to treat you. Let employees interrupt your meetings or phone calls because of "emergencies" and they'll feel free to interrupt you any time. Drop what you're doing every time someone calls and they'll always expect immediate attention. Return emails immediately and people will expect an immediate response. 你也许不会这么觉得，但你做的每件事都会影响你身边的人如何对待你。如果你允许你手下的人在“紧急情况”下可以随意打断你的会议和电话，他们会觉得可以随便在任何时候打扰你。在别人给你打电话时马上就放下你在做的事情会让他们觉得总是可以得到及时的注意。及时地回复邮件会让别人期待你总是立刻回复他们。 |
