The average person is productive for less than three hours per day.

平均每人每天的工作時間不到三小時。

In the UK, the average employee spends two hours and 11 minutes procrastinating daily.

在英國，員工平均每天要花 2 小時 11 分鐘來拖延時間。

US office workers get interrupted up to 11 times an hour.

美國上班族每小時被打斷的次數高達 11 次。

For those who work in offices, this includes talkative co-workers 80%, office noise 70%, feeling overwhelmed by work challenges 61%, meetings 60% and social media 56%.

對於在辦公室工作的人來說，這包括多嘴的同事佔 80%，辦公室噪音佔 70%，被工作挑戰壓垮的感覺佔 61%，會議佔 60%，社交媒體佔 56%。

For those remote working, the challenges are completely different. 39% of people are distracted by responding to household demands. 31% are distracted by browsing social media or other content. 16% are distracted by household chores.

對於那些遠程工作的人來說，挑戰則完全不同。39% 的人因應對家庭需求而分心。31%的人因瀏覽社交媒體或其他內容而分心。16%的人因家務而分心。

It feels like we're more busy than ever and we're more distracted than ever.

感覺我們比以往任何時候都更忙碌，比以往任何時候都更分心。

We're finding ourselves overthinking, procrastinating, constantly trying to figure out how to be more productive and more effective.

我們發現自己思慮過多，做事拖沓，不斷試圖找出提高工作效率和成效的方法。

Today, I'm going to share two steps with you that will change the way you manage your time.

今天，我將與你分享兩個步驟，它們將改變你管理時間的方式。

Step one is understanding the difference between efficient and effective days.

第一步是瞭解高效日和有效日之間的區別。

So many of us are doing just different tasks every single day without any sort of organization, focus or prioritization.

我們中的許多人每天都在做不同的工作，沒有任何條理、重點或優先順序。

When I discovered this tool, it changed my life.

當我發現這個工具時，它改變了我的生活。

I started looking at days as either being efficient or effective.

我開始把日子看成是高效或有效。

Efficient days were days where you got lots of things done.

高效率的日子就是能完成很多事情的日子。

You ticked off things off your to-do list.

You felt really accomplished because you got lots of little tasks done.

因為你完成了很多小任務，所以你覺得很有成就感。

Now, effective days were completely different.

現在，有效的日子已經完全不同了。

Maybe you only got one thing done, but it was so big.

也許你只完成了一件事，但它是如此之大。

It was such a priority that that felt like a huge accomplishment.

這是一個優先事項，感覺就像一個巨大的成就。

I'm sure you've had experiences of days where you do so many things, but you don't feel accomplished because you didn't do the one big thing.

我相信你一定有過這樣的經歷，在很多天裡，你做了很多事情，但卻沒有成就感，因為你沒有做那件大事。

Or you've had other days in your life where you do one thing, but you don't feel accomplished because you feel you should have done more.

或者，在你生活中的其他日子裡，你做了一件事，但卻沒有成就感，因為你覺得自己應該做得更多。

When you start to look at your days, weeks, months, and quarters as divided by is this an efficient day or is this an effective one, you'll start to make better decisions.

當你開始用 "這是高效的一天還是有效的一天 "來衡量你的每一天、每一週、每一月、每一季度時，你就會開始做出更好的決定。

For example, if I'm working on my book and I'm writing my next book proposal, that's a big task.

例如，如果我正在寫我的書，我正在寫下一本書的計劃書，這就是一個很大的任務。

If I try and fill that day up with lots of other to-do lists and lots of other tasks, I'll probably fail at all of it.

如果我試圖用很多其他待辦事項和很多其他任務來填滿這一天，我可能會全部失敗。

So I know that I'm going to have to free up a considerable amount of time to make sure that I can focus on that one big task.

我知道我必須騰出大量時間，以確保我能專注於這一重大任務。

Now, at the same time, I've got to reply to emails.

Those are all things that I can put into one day so that when my head hits the pillow at night, I can feel accomplished because I've checked off a number of items.

這些都是我可以在一天內完成的事情，這樣當我晚上枕著枕頭的時候，我就會覺得很有成就感，因為我已經勾選了很多項目。

Start looking at your days and weeks as effective or efficient.

開始將你的每一天和每一週視為有效或高效。

The next step is to understand the difference between creative and logical work.

下一步是瞭解創造性工作和邏輯性工作之間的區別。

A few years ago, I read a study that said you can't be creative and logical at the same time.

幾年前，我讀過一篇研究報告，說你不可能同時具備創造力和邏輯性。

It's like trying to drive from one side of New York to the other side in the middle of the day.

這就好比大白天從紐約的一邊開車到另一邊。

And a lot of us find our days stacked with both creative and logical tasks.

我們中的很多人發現，每天都有大量的創意和邏輯任務。

Maybe you're starting your day with a creative brainstorm meeting.

也許你的一天是從創意頭腦風暴會議開始的。

Then you're going back into an artistic meeting and then flipping back into doing an analytics meeting.

然後，你再回到藝術會議，然後再翻轉回來開分析會議。

And we're literally going back and forth.

It puts strain on our ability to be flexible and be adaptable no matter how smart or thoughtful you might be.

無論你有多麼聰明或深謀遠慮，它都會對我們的靈活性和適應能力造成壓力。

Since I learned this, I changed the way I work.

自從瞭解到這一點，我改變了工作方式。

So now I look at days as either creative or logical.

所以，現在我把日子看成是創造性的或邏輯性的。

And I'm going to show you how some of my tasks break down using this system.

下面我將向大家展示我是如何利用這個系統來分解任務的。

You can start off by using this table as well when you're starting to understand the difference and make sense of it.

當你開始瞭解其中的區別並理解它時，也可以先使用這個表格。

Here we have a list of tasks that I may have on any given day.

這裡有一份我每天都可能有的任務清單。

We then have a checklist to check whether it's creative or logical.

然後，我們會有一份檢查清單，檢查它是否具有創造性或邏輯性。

We have a time estimate, which I'll explain in a second.

我們有一個時間估算，稍後我會解釋。

And finally, the day that we're going to schedule it on.

Now, the time estimate for emails, depending on your own email hygiene and how quick you are, for me, I'm going to sort 30 minutes for that.

現在，電子郵件的估計時間取決於你自己的電子郵件衛生狀況和你的反應速度，對我來說，我打算用 30 分鐘來排序。

And then the day I'm going to put it down for is Monday, which is now going to become my logical day for the week.

然後，我要把它放下來的日子是週一，現在週一將成為我一週中最合理的一天。

Now, I may end up having more than one logical day in a week, but I'm going to start off with the first day.

我可能一週會有不止一個合理的日子，但我打算從第一天開始。

Now, if I look at something like writing chapter one of my new book, which could take so many hours, so I'm making it more simple for this exercise.

如果我寫我新書的第一章，可能要花費很多時間，所以我把這個練習變得更簡單。

But this time, of course, it's a creative task.

當然，這次是一項創造性的任務。

I don't want to be doing it on the same day as when I'm checking emails.

我不想在檢查電子郵件的同一天做這件事。

I'm not going to be able to get into that creative space, that deep work, that deep mode that I need to be in to discover new ideas to place into the book.

我無法進入那種創作空間、那種深入的工作、那種深入的模式，而這正是我發現新想法並將其寫入書中所需要的。

Now, chapter one of my new book will take a hell of a lot of time, but if I'm only going to focus on the first thousand words, that may take me half a day.

我的新書第一章需要花費大量時間，但如果我只專注於前一千字，可能需要半天時間。

So I'm going to put down four hours to do that work.

所以我要花四個小時來完成這項工作。

And now I realize I'm going to put down Tuesday as my creative day.

現在我意識到，我要把星期二作為我的創作日。

Moving on to the third one, preparing for a podcast.

Maybe I've got an exciting guest coming on.

也許我有一個令人興奮的客人要來了。

I really want to prepare for the podcast.

我可能需要和我的製片人一起做準備。

It's a task that we've repeated, we've done often.

這是一項我們反覆做、經常做的任務。

這需要我們親臨現場，兢兢業業。

And that prep time, as we've developed and gotten smarter and better at it, probably takes around two hours of my time.

隨著我們的發展，我們變得越來越聰明，也越來越擅長於準備工作，這些準備時間大概需要花費我兩個小時左右的時間。

If there's a book involved, it would probably take up to 10 hours of my time.

如果要寫一本書，可能要花費我 10 個小時的時間。

And there again, I'll put that down as a logical task.

同樣，我也會把這當作一項合乎邏輯的任務。

So that's a simplified version of what it may look like as you walk through the tasks that you have for the upcoming week and trying to break it down.

所以，這就是簡化版的任務，你可以把下一週的任務進行分解。

Now, what gets really incredible about this is sometimes I'll do a whole week of being creative and a whole week of being logical.

真正令人難以置信的是，有時我會做一整週的創意和一整週的邏輯。

What it allows me to do is get better at my craft, focus more on my ability to deliver in that moment.

這讓我能夠更好地掌握自己的技藝，更加專注於自己在那一刻的表現能力。

And best of all, it takes the stress off my brain and stress off my mind.

最重要的是，它能減輕我的大腦和精神壓力。

I hope those two steps help you think differently about your work.

希望這兩個步驟能幫助你換個角度思考自己的工作。

And I really hope that you lock into that deep work mode that will allow you to enhance your creativity and launch your productivity to another level.

我真心希望你能鎖定這種深度工作模式，從而提高你的創造力，讓你的工作效率再上一個臺階。
