How many times every week do you hear co-workers, friends, and family members complain that they wish there were more hours in the day? The thought of knocking off everything on your to-do list and heading out the door before dark every evening is pretty much a myth. 每周你会听到多少次你的同事、朋友和家人向你抱怨，说要是每天再多几个小时就好了？能完成任务清单上所有的任务、天黑之前就结束工作的想法简直就是神话。 Well, not for Cal Newport. 不过，卡尔·纽波特就做到了。 Newport is a Georgetown professor as well as a father, a four-time author, a frequent publisher in his field of study, and a constant blogger. Oh, and he still stops work every day at 5:30 PM and doesn't work most weekends. He sounds like a superhero, right? 纽波特是美国乔治敦大学的教授，同时他也是一位父亲、四本书的作者、在他的研究领域里活跃的出版人，还是持续更新的博客写手。喔，而且他还能每天下午5:30就下班，大部分周末都不用工作。听起来根本是个超级牛人，对吧？ Turns out, almost anyone can be just as productive as he is by learning from his methods. One of Newport's top time-savers is what he calls a "fixed productivity schedule:" He plans his day backward, starting at 5:30 and working his way to the earlier hours. The main idea is that he gives himself a set amount of time to work, strictly schedules his day accordingly, and forces himself to focus. |
