Keep reading materials handy when you go to the doctor’s office. Most magazines in waiting rooms are from last year anyway, and you waste time just sitting.

当你到医生办公室的时候可以读一些容易拿到的资料。在等待室里面有很多去年的杂志，你在那里坐着也是浪费时间。

 

157

Never open e-mails from people whose names you do not recognize or subjects are not important to you. There’s too much “spam” requiring too much time to filter through every e-mail that you receive — and there’s too many viruses floating around out there.

不要打开那些你不认识到人的或者主题对你不重要邮件。在你收到的邮件里面有很多垃圾邮件会花你很多时间去过滤它－而且那里有很多病毒。

 

158

Rip and read. Quickly scan the magazines that show up on your desk, evaluate which articles you want to read, tear them out and save for the right time for you to read. Throw away the rest of the magazine. You waste time flipping through the same pages to get to the one article you want to read.

撕开和阅读。快速度浏览一下你桌子上的杂志看看里面有哪篇文章是你想读的，把它们挑出来并且保存起来等到合适的时候来读。把杂志剩余部分扔掉。为了读一篇文章而翻了很多页到那里是浪费你的时间。

 

159

Gr-r-r! Attack procrastination! Do it now! Putting things off seldom improves the quality of your work. It also adds stress when you know that you have something to do that should have already been done.

不要拖延！马上去做！拖延事情很少可以改善工作的质量。而且只会让你感觉到有时期应该完成而没有完成的压力。

 

160

Reward yourself when you complete a task you wanted to delay. It will give incentive to knock out other unpleasant tasks.

当你完成了你本来打算延迟到任务的时候奖励一下自己！它会激励你去完成那些令人厌恶的事情。

“Learn how to separate the majors from the minors. A lot of people don’t do well simply because they major in minor things.”

— Jim Rohn

You can never get much of anything done unless you go ahead and do it before you are ready.

“学习如何从次要里面区别出主要。很多人没有做到很好仅仅是因为他们热衷于次要的事情。”

— Jim Rohn

你不可能完成所有的事情，除非你在准备好之前就开始去做。
