There are tons of books about time-management, but increasingly I hear the topic discussed in terms of energy management. Our minds, the thinking goes, only have so much capacity for any one type of activity, so we have to build that limitation into our daily routines if we want to work effectively. Our email inbox may seem to be our highest priority, but “inbox zero” can lead to “energy zero” if you are not careful. 关于时间管理的书籍已经出了不计其数，但我越来越经常听到大家在讨论的一个话题是“精力管理”。我们的头脑，也就是思维，对任何一类行为都有着很大的容纳能力，因此如果我们想要高效工作的话，我们不得不在我们的日常工作中做出限定。我们的电子邮件收件箱看起来可能是我们的最高优先事务，但如果你不加小心的话，“收件箱有零封未读邮件”可能会导致“零活力”。 I just finished reading a new book by 99U called Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus & Sharpen Your Creative Mind. The recurring advice across many of the 20 experts who contributed essays to the book was simple: don’t start the day by dealing with your email. Instead, the experts overwhelmingly suggest that you start with your hardest work of the day and defer the distractions of email for later. 我刚刚读完一本由99U出版的新书，名为《管理你的每一天：订立日常规划，找到你的关注点并锻炼你的创造性思维》。为这本书撰写了文章的20位专家中，很多人反复提及的建议非常简单：不要将处理邮件作为一天的开始，相反，这些专家强烈建议你从一天中最艰苦的工作着手，并推迟处理邮件的时间。 |
