職場(chǎng)之風(fēng)“晚著急”late rush盛行.

　　We all know the “l(fā)ate rush.”

　　我們都知道“晚著急?！?/p>

　　It’s not fun.并不是開玩笑。

　　Hurrying to that next meeting. Driving too fast to an appointment. Or even doing less than your best work on a deliverable that is now overdue.

　　急著趕去參加下一場(chǎng)會(huì)議。開車開得很快也趕不上會(huì)面了。或者工作比平時(shí)做的少些，但是還是沒趕在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成。

　　When was the last time you were early? To a meeting? With a deliverable? Or reaching a goal?

　　上次覺得時(shí)間還早是什么時(shí)候?是在參加一個(gè)會(huì)議的時(shí)候?是在規(guī)定的期限內(nèi)?或者是達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)了嗎?

　　You might be wondering, “How early is early anyway?”

　　也許你還在想，“還早是有多早?”

　　How Early is Early?

　　是在怎樣的情況下才可以稱之為早?

　　We live in a world where late seems to have become the norm. It is acceptable in many companies and circles.

　　我們生活在一個(gè)對(duì)遲到已經(jīng)習(xí)以為常的世界里。在很多公司，很多場(chǎng)合都認(rèn)為遲到是可以接受的。

　　No one wants to be late, even while there are many excuses used to explain tardiness.

　　即使遲到的理由很多，但是沒人愿意遲到。

　　Yet, there are many advantages to being early at almost everything you do.

　　還有，不管做何事，早到總是有很多好處的。

　　Less time. Less fort. Less stress.

　　時(shí)間少了，努力少了，壓力也少了。

　　Early sounds much better than late.

　　早似乎聽起來總要好過晚。

　　However, early is an elusive habit for most. It can be difficult to adhere to, and even harder to actually dine.

　　但是，提早是一個(gè)可望而不可即的習(xí)慣。也很難堅(jiān)持下來，甚至定義起來就更難。

　　After all, “Just how early is early?”

　　畢竟，“是要多早才叫早呢?”

　　Minutes?幾分鐘?

　　Meetings – 10 minutes early to that meeting is on time.

　　會(huì)議---提前十分鐘到達(dá)，只可以被稱作為準(zhǔn)時(shí)。

　　Conference Calls – Get on the line bore the start time.

　　電話會(huì)議---在既定的開始時(shí)間之前開始。

　　Appointments – Whether it is an interview, sales call, or even personal, getting to an appointment ahead of time shows your commitment.

　　會(huì)面----不管是采訪，銷售電話，還是私人事件，提前到達(dá)都體現(xiàn)出了你的真誠。

　　Hours?

　　幾個(gè)小時(shí)?

　　Changes in plans or cancellations – Don’t cancel meetings 5 minutes bore the meeting.

　　計(jì)劃的改變，或者是計(jì)劃的取消---不要在會(huì)議開始前5分鐘才取消會(huì)議。

　　Preparation – Plan and prepare for your events, meetings, and more bore charging into your day.

　　準(zhǔn)備---計(jì)劃好，準(zhǔn)備好你的活動(dòng)，會(huì)議，至少提前一天準(zhǔn)備好這些事。

　　Days?幾天?

　　Meeting invites – Never send meeting invites the same day as the meeting. At least 1 day in advance. Two or three is even better.

　　會(huì)議通知---不要在會(huì)議當(dāng)天才通知，至少提前一天通知，提前2-3天會(huì)更好。

　　Deliverables – Delivering a document at the last-minute results in less than quality results. Allow enough time for editing and review.

　　交付東西---在最后一分鐘交出來的東西質(zhì)量都會(huì)差一點(diǎn)。給自己都留些時(shí)間來編輯，好好檢查。

　　Projects – Finishing projects ahead of the deadline allows for corrections and polish.

　　項(xiàng)目---在截止日前完成這個(gè)項(xiàng)目，給自己留些時(shí)間來糾正錯(cuò)誤。

　　Even earlier?

　　更早?

　　Goals – Finishing a goal feels great. Finishing it ahead of schedule feels fantastic. This allows time for unforeseen obstacles, delays.

　　目標(biāo)---實(shí)現(xiàn)一個(gè)目標(biāo)以后會(huì)覺得很不錯(cuò)。但是提前完成的話感覺會(huì)更好。這樣會(huì)預(yù)留出很多時(shí)間來應(yīng)對(duì)未知的障礙，延誤等。

　　Major plans - Finishing a large event ahead of a deadline allows time for final adjustments. It provides a time buffer in case of final course corrections.

　　主要計(jì)劃---在截至日以前提前完成一件大事，會(huì)給自己留很多時(shí)間來做最后的調(diào)整。為事情的最后調(diào)整流了很多緩沖時(shí)間。

　　Important decisions – Important decisions should always be made ahead of time. Otherwise, opportunities will be missed or even penalties incurred.

　　重要的決定----重要的事件應(yīng)該提要計(jì)劃好。否則，就會(huì)失去機(jī)會(huì)，甚至還會(huì)招致處罰。

　　Make Early a Habit

　　養(yǎng)成一個(gè)提前做事的習(xí)慣

　　If you’re tired of the late rush maybe it’s time to change your tactics.

　　要是你厭倦了趕時(shí)間的匆忙，或許是時(shí)候改改你的習(xí)慣了。

　　Last-minute and just-in-time are exhausting situations to always be in.

　　厭倦了在最后一分鐘，剛剛趕上的情況。

　　Instead, try going for early.

　　試著提前一些吧。

　　Early gets it done right, ahead of schedule, and with the least fort

　　提早做好，還會(huì)少花精力。
