This is a great topic to talk about because everybody wants to be productive.

這是一個很好的話題，因為每個人都希望自己富有成效。

What does productivity mean?

生產力意味著什麼？

If you're productive, it means you produce a lot.

如果你有生產力，就意味著你生產了很多東西。

It means that you see good results from your effort or work.

這意味著你的努力或工作取得了良好的成果。

So, let's talk about some ways we can be productive. The first way we can be productive is by waking up early.

那麼，讓我們來談談提高工作效率的一些方法。提高工作效率的第一種方法是早起。

I know that many of you don't like this advice.

我知道你們很多人都不喜歡這個建議。

Not many people like waking up early.

沒有多少人喜歡早起。

I wake up pretty early, but it's not easy for me.

我醒得很早，但這對我來說並不容易。

I usually wake up at 6 a.m. every day.

我通常每天早上 6 點起床。

This is early, but some people wake up earlier than me, like at 5 a.m.

這很早，但有些人比我起得更早，比如早上 5 點。

I wake up early so I can be more productive every day.

我每天都早早起床，以便提高工作效率。

My official work starts at 7.30 a.m., but since I wake up at 6, I can do more things before I start working.

我的正式工作從早上 7:30 開始，但因為我 6 點就起床了，所以可以在開始工作前做更多事情。

For example, I read a little bit in the morning, and I study languages.

例如，我早上會讀一點書，我還會學習語言。

I usually read for about 15 minutes, and I can study languages for about 50 minutes.

我通常閱讀 15 分鐘左右，學習語言 50 分鐘左右。

If I don't do this in the morning, I might not have time to do it later.

如果我早上不這樣做，以後可能就沒時間做了。

So, I do all this before my work starts.

所以，我都是在工作開始之前做這些事情。

I'm pretty productive in the morning.

我早上的工作效率很高。

How about you?

你呢？

Are you productive in the morning? Okay, another way we can be productive is by removing distractions.

你早上的工作效率高嗎？好吧，我們提高工作效率的另一種方法是排除干擾。

A distraction is something that doesn't let you focus on your work.

分心是指無法讓你專注於工作的事情。

For example, if you're trying to work, and you hear dogs barking outside, that might make you lose focus.

例如，如果你正在努力工作，卻聽到外面有狗叫聲，這可能會讓你失去注意力。

Some distractions are hard to remove, like your neighbor's dog, but other distractions are easy to remove.

有些干擾很難消除，比如鄰居家的狗，但其他干擾卻很容易消除。

For instance, you can silence your cell phone.

例如，您可以將手機靜音。

If you hear your phone vibrate or ring, you usually want to look at your phone.

如果您聽到手機振動或鈴聲，您通常會想看看手機。

When my phone vibrates, I sometimes get distracted.

手機震動時，我有時會分心。

If you want to remove this distraction, you can put your phone on silent or on airplane mode.

如果您想消除這種干擾，可以將手機調至靜音或飛行模式。

For some people, this is hard.

對有些人來說，這很難。

Some people don't want to ignore their phone calls and messages.

有些人不想忽視他們的電話和資訊。

They think that it's very important to check their phone.

他們認為看手機非常重要。

This might be true, but it's also important to finish your work.

這也許沒錯，但完成工作也很重要。

If you silence your phone, it can help you finish your work faster.

如果把手機靜音，可以幫助你更快地完成工作。

So, removing distractions like this can be very helpful. Okay, another way we can be more productive is by making sure that we're comfortable when we work.

是以，消除這樣的干擾會很有幫助。好了，我們提高工作效率的另一個方法就是確保工作時的舒適度。

For example, if you're in an uncomfortable chair, or if you feel hot or cold, you might be less productive when you're working.

例如，如果你坐的椅子不舒服，或者你覺得冷或熱，你的工作效率可能就會降低。

In my case, I don't work well if my chair is uncomfortable.

就我而言，如果椅子不舒服，我就無法很好地工作。

Usually my back hurts and I want to change positions, so I need to sit in a comfortable chair when I work.

通常我的背會疼，我想換個姿勢，所以我工作時需要坐在舒適的椅子上。

Sometimes I sit on my couch when I work because it's comfortable there.

有時我坐在沙發上工作，因為那裡很舒服。

This helps me be more productive. Alright, one more way that we can be productive is by setting goals.

這有助於提高我的工作效率。好了，我們提高工作效率的另一個方法就是設定目標。

In my opinion, this is the best way to be productive.

在我看來，這是提高工作效率的最佳方式。

If you set goals for yourself, you feel motivated to work.

如果你為自己設定了目標，你就會感到工作有動力。

You want to achieve your goals.

你想實現自己的目標。

I always set goals for myself to help me be productive.

我總是為自己設定目標，幫助自己提高工作效率。

It's good to set short-term and long-term goals.

制定短期和長期目標都很好。

A short-term goal is a goal you want to achieve soon.

短期目標是您希望儘快實現的目標。

A long-term goal is a goal you want to achieve after a long time.

長期目標是指你想在很長時間後實現的目標。

You can set short-term and long-term goals to help you learn English.

您可以設定短期和長期目標來幫助自己學習英語。

For example, maybe your short-term goal is to watch all my A1 listening practice videos by next month.

例如，您的短期目標可能是在下個月之前看完我所有的 A1 級聽力練習視頻。

And maybe your long-term goal can be to read a whole book in English by the end of the year.

也許你的長期目標可以是在年底之前讀完一整本英文書。

You can set many types of goals for yourself.

您可以為自己設定多種類型的目標。

I like to set daily goals, too.

我也喜歡設定每日目標。

This helps me be productive every day.

這有助於我每天提高工作效率。

For instance, each day my goal is to practice my listening in French for one hour.

例如，我每天的目標是練習一小時法語聽力。

Every day, when I complete this hour, I feel great.

每天，當我完成這一個小時的工作時，我都感覺非常棒。

I know that I accomplished my goal. Okay, I hope you can use these tips to help you be more productive.

我知道，我完成了我的目標。好了，希望這些技巧能幫助你提高工作效率。
