My name is Adriana Girdler, I'm a productivity expert with over 20-plus years in the business.

我的名字是 Adriana Girdler，我是一名生產力專家，用有超過 20 年的工作經驗。

Staying focused at work matters, so I'm gonna teach you some tried and true techniques, so pay attention, wink wink.

在工作時保持專注是很重要的，所以我將教導各位一些被證明有效的技巧，要注意聽了。

Start Early

儘早開始

If you're in the habit of starting at a certain time, try to start at least 15 to 30 minutes earlier than that.

如果你習慣在某個時間點開始，那就試著提前個至少 15 到 30 分鐘開始。

It truly makes it different.

那真的會改善情況。

That extra bit of time in the morning dedicated to what you need to do in getting organized can really give you a fresh start and keep you on track, which is critical for staying focused.

早上多挪出一點時間，去做需要組織好的事情可以給你一個嶄新的開始並讓你維持在正軌上，這對維持專注是很重要的。

Make a To-Do List

制定待辦清單

Now, I want you actually to have several to-do lists, not from several separate things, but I want you to look at it from several different perspectives.

我希望各位有幾份實際的待辦清單，不是為了做數種不同的事，但我希望你能從幾個不同的面向看待它。

Your to-do list should be one that's long-term, so you're looking out, like, a month from now, even a couple months from now.

你的待辦清單應該有一個長期的，所以你會展望未來的一個月，甚至兩個月。

You should have one that is looking out a week from now, and one that you need for today.

你應該也有一份一週的清單以及一份當日的清單。

By doing that, you can really analyze what is it that you have to do, and you can start planning in advance for things accordingly and dropping it into your specific day for your to-do list.

透過這個做法，你可以真正地分析自己必須做的事，然後開始根據清單提前規劃並安排到特定日期的待辦清單。

Now, for today, what are you doing today?

那今天你打算要做什麼呢？

Pick three core things that you're gonna work on⏤stuff that's really important to you that's going to help you achieve your overall goals that you're trying to achieve,

選三件你要做的核心任務，對你而言非常重要、有助你達成想要完成整體目標的事，

not just stuff because it has a deadline associated with it.

而不是因為僅僅是有期限壓在上面的事。

So, really keep to that to-do list, be disciplined with your to-do list, and think broadly as well as focused for what you have for today.

所以說，真正地遵循那待辦清單且要有紀律，並同時廣泛地思考並專注於你當天該做的事。

To-do lists come in all shapes and sizes; some electronic, some are paper.

待辦清單有各種形式，包含電子與紙本。

Please tell me what it is that you use for your to-do list; comment below.

請在下方評論並告訴我，你都用什麼方式制定你的待辦清單。

Confront Blockages

面對障礙

So, what I mean by this is: Do the things that you really don't want to be doing but are important, and get them done.

我這話的意思是，要去做你真心不想做，卻很重要的事情，並完成它們。

This is why Facebook and Instagram are so popular; when we have something that we know we have to do but we're not excited about it but it's really important still...

這就是 Facebook 汗 Instagram 如此受歡迎的原因，當我們有知道需要做的事，但我們卻提不起勁又知道它很重要⋯⋯

What do we do?

我們會怎麼做呢？

We tend to go on our social media, our computers, and we get a little distracted, and that distracted can lead to not just minutes of distractions⏤hours of distractions, and then we really feel pressure.

我們傾向登入我們的社交媒體帳號、電腦，然後稍微被分心，那這樣的分心最終不只導致數分鐘、數小時的分心，還會讓我們感到壓力。

So, I want you to focus on things that you have to get done⏤it is really important.

所以我要你專注在你必須完成的事情，這是非常重要的。

And confront those roadblocks that you yourself are putting in front of you.

並面對那些你自己擺在自己面前的障礙。

Just get it done, out of the way.

就把它完成了事就好。

Eliminate Distractions

去除分心因素

Small little things that we don't even think about, like talking to a colleague, stopping what we're doing, answering a phone, or checking out an email,

小道我們不會去想的事情，例如跟同事聊天、停下手邊工作、接電話或是收電子郵件，

actually all add up in regards to us not having the time we need to get our work done, let alone anything on our to-do list.

其實都會累加讓我們沒有足夠時間完成該做的事，更別提做到待辦清單事項了。

So, it is really important that⏤and I usually call these minor stoppages⏤that we eliminate them.

所以說，消除這些我稱為微小停頓的障礙是非常重要的。

What can you do for a minor stoppage?

你可以怎麼應付微小停頓呢？

Well, first and foremost, turn off that notification for email and for your texts⏤those are extremely distracting⏤as well as give yourself a power hour.

嗯，首先可以關閉電子郵件和訊息的通知，那些極讓人分心，並給自己奮力的一鐘頭。

That is something that you can put on your door, on your⏤or on your cubicle to let people know, "I need an hour, please don't distract me."

那是你可以放在你的門上、你的小隔間上讓人們知道：「我需要一小時的時間，請不要干擾我。」

You can also do a power hour on your calendar by actually blocking out an hour of time and honoring that to actually get your work done.

你也可以在行事曆上排定奮力鐘頭的時間，並遵循安排完成工作。

These small tried and true techniques make a big difference in you getting your work accomplished and focusing and being productive at work.

這些微小但被證實有效的技巧可能大大地改善你完成工作的效率並專注於提升工作生產力。

Recognize Your Own Work Cycles

認清自己的工作循環

Whenever I do process improvements for organizations to make them more productive, the first thing we do is benchmark.

每當我替組織進行進度提升計畫讓他們提高生產力時，我們做的第一件事就是設立標竿。

Well, I want you to do the same thing for yourself.

我想要你們也為自己做同樣的事。

Understand how you work.

了解自己的工作模式。

Are you a morning person, an evening person, do you drain in the afternoon?

你是習慣早上工作還是夜間工作的人，你在下午會用盡活力嗎？

Understand what makes you tick can really help you in order for you to plan your days accordingly so that you can be more productive at work.

了解可以讓自己動起來的事物可以真正地幫助你自己，讓你可以因應規劃你的日子讓你可以工作更有生產力。

Now that you know how to rev up your productivity at work, I want you to check out this amazing checklist on amazing hacks that are gonna help you even notch it up one more.
