What?

做什麼？

Get jalepeño business. (Get all up in your business)

它會打聽妳的事情啊！（譯註： "Get jalepeño business" 唸快一點音似 "Get all up in your business"，即打聽某人的事情，而 jalepeño 原意指墨西哥辣椒，這裡的笑話是以雙關語作呈現）

Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business and a life that you love.

嘿，我是瑪莉·芙萊奧（美國跨多行業專家），你正在收看的是 Marie TV，這裡能讓你學會創造你所熱愛的事業與生活。

And today is our favorite day of the week because it's Q&A Tuesday.

今天是一週中我們最愛的一天，因為禮拜二是你問我答時間。

That means Q's and A's and this Q comes from Ashley and she writes:

表示我們將有疑問也會有解答。今天的問題來自艾希莉，上面寫道：

"Hi Marie, your videos are my go-to whenever I'm having issues with something.

「嗨瑪莉，每當我遇到問題，妳的影片總是我求助的地方。

I just watched the video where you talked about 4 habits of really productive people, but I'm still stumped.

我剛看了妳一部影片，是在討論工作效率高的人會有的四大特性，可我還是不太懂。

My schedule is never the same. I work in production and with private clients that means sometimes I'm on set for 4 a.m. and other times I see clients at 6 p.m.

我的計畫總是不一樣。我在一間生產公司上班，並接洽ㄧ些私人客戶，這表示有時候我凌晨四點就得起來，有的時候晚上六點得去見客戶。

I can't seem to get a handle on morning routines and non-negotiables.

我似乎無法應付早上的例行公事及無可妥協的事。

My dog never gets walked at the same time.

好比說，我無法按時帶我的狗去散步。

I never go to sleep at the same time, and I'll go days with no work only to work ten 12-hour days in a row.

我無法按時入眠，而我得連續工作十天，每天 12 小時才換得可以好好休息的日子。

Because I can't set a regular routine and everything is inconsistent, is there anything else I can do to be more productive and get it all done?

因為我沒辦法設立一個規律作息所有事情又不固定，有沒有什麼方法能讓我的工作效率提升，並把它們都完成呢？

Thank you for making incredible videos and content all the time. Ashley."

謝謝妳總是作出這麼讚的影片和內容，艾希莉上。」

Ashley, this is a great question.

艾希莉，這問題問得非常好。

My schedule is never the same either and I travel quite a bit, so I really understand the challenges of inconsistency.

我的行程也老是不一樣，而且我很常旅行，所以我非常能了解那種變化無常的挑戰。

That being said, there is one super simple and super powerful productivity habit that I think everybody should adopt, especially if you have an inconsistent schedule.

不過，話雖然這麼說，有一個非常簡單又極為有用的工作效率習慣，我覺得每個人都該採用，

It only takes 4 to 5 minutes every single day and it sets you up to win huge like never before.

尤其是你如果又有難以一致的行程表，就更該採用。這項習慣每天只花你 4~5 分鐘，卻能讓你大大贏得過去未曾所獲。

Know what it is?

知道是什麼嗎？

Buying a lotto ticket?

買張樂透彩券？

Bathing?

洗香香吧？

Neti Pot!

是洗鼻器啦！

Squatty Potty.

蹲式馬桶吧。

Nope, It's this: Planning your day out the night before.

都不對，是這個：在前一天晚上就將隔天的行程計畫好啦！

This is so darn simple, yet hardly anybody does it and it's one of the most powerful things that you can do for yourself.

這真的是簡單得要命，但卻很少人如實做到，它是所有最有力的方式中一個靠自己就能做得到的辦法。

So no matter how late at night you go, before you wrap up just take 4 minutes and really think through everything that you have to get done for the next day.

所以，不管你多晚才睡在一天作息結束以前，花四分鐘的時間，仔細想想所有隔天必須完成的事情。

So here's how I usually do it: first thing I do is I open up my calendar and I take a look at all the appointments that I have for the next day and the time that those appointments will take.

而我自己，則常會這麼做：首先，我先打開我的行事曆稍微看一下隔天所有的預定行程，以及這些行程會花費掉的時間。

Like this: 1:00, I've got a team call that lasts 30 minutes; 3:30, I have a MarieTV script review that'll take about an hour.

像這個：1點我要接一通製作團隊打來的電話，會講半小時；3點半我要審核MarieTV的劇本，大約會花一個小時，

And then I have a 6:30 spin class.

接著，6點半的時候還有飛輪課。（譯註： spin class 飛輪課，是指在健身房中，由教練在前面帶動一群人集體踩腳踏車的活動）

Then, I write down all the projects and the tasks that I need to get done and I give myself a little bit of an estimate about how long I think each project or task will take.

然後我會寫下所有必須完成的計畫和任務，此外，我還會在每一項計畫與任務上稍微評估一下自己可能會花費的時間為何。

Of course, these are estimates, sometimes I get things done faster and sometimes they take longer but at least I give myself a baseline to work off of.

當然，這些就只是粗估，有的時候完成事情的速度會比料想的還快，但也有時得花更久的時間不過至少我給自己一條底線，來完成所有事情。

9 - 10:30 a.m., I'm gonna write a first draft of a sales video script. I'm gonna givemyself about 90 minutes.

早上9點到10點半，我會先寫第一份銷售影片劇本的草稿，我給自己90分鐘將其完成。。

Then from 11:30 - 12:30, I'm gonna review my social media schedule, give myself an hour for that.

接著，11點半到12點半，我會再度檢閱社群媒體的行程表我給自己約1小時的時間完成之，

And from 2:30-3:00, I'll do a little email clear out.

再來，從2點半到3點，我會稍微整理一下電子信箱，

And finally, I make a new little section at the bottom of my notepad with personal things that I need to handle for that day.

最後，我會在記事本底下，再弄出一個小區域，提醒自己那一天必須要處理的ㄧ些個人私事。

For example, get Nanny a birthday card and mail it. That'll take me about 30 minutes.

舉例來說，幫奶奶買一張生日賀卡並寄送過去，大概會花我30分鐘的時間。

Order more Kuma food, all of 10 minutes, and book a haircut for the next month, takes me about 5 minutes.

訂購更多的庫瑪美食，大約10分鐘，以及預約下個月的美髮，大概花我5分鐘的時間。

Boom, that is it. Super simple.

碰，就這樣！超級簡單。

So when I do this, it informs [me] exactly when I need to be at my desk and working,

當我在規劃事宜的時候，就已準確地告訴我什麼時候該坐在辦公室工作，

which tells me when I need to wake up to have enough time to do my little morning routine and get everything done without feeling rushed or stressed.

告訴我什麼時候該起床，才能有足夠的時間完成每天早上小小的例行事務，並且能在不疾不徐的情況下完成所有事情。

The worst thing you can do is wake up in the morning and go straight to your computer and open up email and then all of a sudden you're pretending to work all day, and at the end of the day, nothing important ever got done.

最糟的情況就是，你早上起來，直接打開電腦收取電子郵件，然後突然間，假裝自己工作了一整天，但實際上，一天結束過後 卻什麼重要的事情都沒完成。

Nobody's perfect and, of course, not every day goes as planned, but this system gives you the best chance possible at making sure that your most important projects get done, especially if you have an inconsistent schedule.

沒有人是完美的，當然，計畫總趕不上變化，但這樣的方法或許給了你很棒的機會，得以確保你最重要的計畫都能完成，尤其是如果你的行程表又不固定的時候，將更加受用。

And, by the way, if you haven't seen our other MarieTV about urgent versus important, you should really watch it because I think you're gonna love it.

此外，順帶一提，如果你沒看過 MarieTV 在過去一些集數中提到的「緊急V.S.重要」，建議你應該去收看它，因為我認為你會愛上它的。

So let's wrap this one up on a tweetable.

現在我們就以一則推特訊息為節目作收尾吧！

If you plan on having a successful life, start by planning your day.

若你計畫著擁有一個成功的人生，就從規劃你的每一天開始吧！

That was my A to your Q, Ashley, I really do hope it helps.

以上就是我對妳提出的問題之解答，艾希莉，我真的非常希望這能幫助到妳。

Now I would love to hear from you.

現在，我將十分樂意聽聽看你們的想法。

Whether you have an inconsistent schedule or not, what's the single most important thing that you do each and every day to make sure your most important projects get done?

不論你的行程表是否固定，你每一天都會做什麼非常重要的事，以確保你最重要的計畫都能如實完成呢？
