The Work Environment: Color Your World…Productive工作环境：美化你的世界…生产率 30Now hear this! Never say “yes” without considering the time investment you are committing. Having the courage to say “no” to requests that are inappropriate or unnecessary could be your most effective time management tool! 现在再来看看这个！不要在没有对你的承诺仔细考虑一下时间投资之前就说“是”。对不是很合适或者不是必需的要求有勇气去说“不”实际上是你最有效的时间管理工具。 31Take the time to understand the role of every department in your organization. This time invested up front will eliminate your “panic” when someone has an urgent request outside your department.花点时间去了解你们企业里面每个部门所担当的角色。这点时间的投资会减少当你接到其它部门的紧急请求的时候惊慌失措的时间。 33Copy the world every time you send a memo? But, realistically, does “the world” really care? When writing a memo or sending an e-mail, only distribute to the people who really need to know the information. Some of “the world” feels obligated to respond and then everyone’s time is wasted. 每次你发一份备忘的时候是否每个人都会收到？但是事实上每个人都会关心吗？当写一份备忘或者发送一份邮件的时候，请仅仅发给确实需要的人。有些人会觉得他有义务需要回复他收到的每个消息这样大家的时间都被浪费了。 34Want to get your written point across — fast? Limit your sentences to fifteen words.
你想写得更快一点？请你每个句子都不要超过15个词。（备注：这条好像对中文不是很适用） 35Are you really listening! Every time you say, “But I thought you said,” you might as well be saying, “I wasted all this time doing the wrong thing.”
Listen, clarify, and make sure you understand the task before going forward. It is a good time investment for both parties.你确认你真正听明白了！每一次你说“我以为你说的是”的时候，你实际上是在说“我浪费了很多的时间在做错一件事情”。在开始执行你的任务之前，请听好，澄清并且确保你真正理解无误。这对双方来说都是划算的时间投资。 36Is it your job to pick up every ball that someone drops? Avoid this label at all costs! Think about it!你的工作就是拣起别人丢下的球吗？不要被人这么以为。好好想清楚。 37Don’t try to solve other people’s problems. You may be empathetic to their situation, but if you spend your time solving their problems, Surprise! Their next problem will become yours, too! The best thing you can do is help others learn how to solve their own problems.不要试图解决别人的问题。你也许可以理解别人的出境，但是不要用自己的时间去解决别人的问题。如果这样的话，下次那个问题也是属于你的。你能做的就是帮助别人去学习怎么解决他们自己的问题。
