3.Schedule Your Time
3.安排你的時間

I'm very excitedfor this episode because it's one of, as an executive assistant, managing acalendar is one of the primary things that I'm done for my career. Um, but it'snot just about. Booking meetings and, you know, sending invites, it's aboutthis idea of managing my executives most valuable asset, which is
我對這一集感到非常興奮，因為這是作為一名行政助理，管理日程表是我職業生涯中最主要的事情之一。嗯，但這不僅僅是關於。預約會議，發送邀請，這是關於管理我的主管們最寶貴的資產的想法

their time.
他們的時間。

And so what I'mexcited about for this episode is I'm going to help you manage your mostvaluable asset, which is your time, and I'm going to help you. And we're goingto talk about. Scheduling your time. And we're going to talk about thisgame-changing tactic that I am very, very excited to share that I truly believeis the number one tool for helping you kind of manage your calendar before itmanages you.
所以我為這一集感到興奮的是我將幫助你管理你最寶貴的資產，也就是你的時間，我將幫助你。我們要談談。安排你的時間。我們將要討論這個改變遊戲規則的策略，我非常非常興奮地與大家分享，我真的相信它是幫助你在日歷管理你之前管理好你的日程表的頭號工具。

And that'scalled the ideal week calendar. And I first heard about it from Michael Hyattwho heard of it through a couple of other people. Um, but we'll, we'll get tothat here in just a second. So to recap, key number one was tracking your time.So you took a good audit. Uh, you've got some real data.
這就是所謂的理想週日歷。我是從邁克爾和其他一些人那里聽說的。嗯，但我們馬上就到。總而言之，第一個關鍵是跟蹤你的時間。所以你做了一個很好的審計。呃，你有一些真實的數據。

Uh, you've been.
呃，你去過。

Tracking yourtime ongoing so that you really can look at the data objectively and say, thisis where I'm spending my time. And key number two was bucket your time. Soyou've bucketed your time. You figured out what you love to do, um, what youhave to do, what you don't like to do, but you have to do, um, and you've kindof tagged things and you've sorted things and you've.
跟蹤你正在進行的時間，這樣你才能真正客觀地看待數據，並說，這是我花時間的地方。第二個關鍵是浪費時間。所以你浪費了你的時間。你知道你喜歡做什麼，嗯，你必須做什麼，你不喜歡做什麼，但是你必須做，嗯，你有點標記，你把事情分類，你已經做到了。

Gained anawareness of where you're really spending your time and what things you'redoing. That's draining you and what's energizing you. So we're making a lot ofgood progress. Um, you should feel very, um, encouraged in some of the datathat you're seeing and some of the self-awareness that you're finding.
意識到你真正花時間在哪里，在做什麼。這讓你精疲力竭，讓你精力充沛。所以我們取得了很大的進步。嗯，你應該對你看到的一些數據和你發現的一些自我意識感到非常，嗯，鼓勵。

Um, but you mayalso feel discouraged. So how can you re. Work, your schedule, rework yourrhythms so that you're spending more time on what you love and less time onwhat drains you and what you don't enjoy doing. So again, key number three isschedule your time. We cannot sit back and let other people dictate how wespend our time.
嗯，但你也可能會感到氣餒。你怎麼能這樣。工作，你的時間表，重新調整你的節奏，這樣你就可以把更多的時間花在你喜歡的事情上，而把更少的時間花在那些讓你筋疲力儘和你不喜歡做的事情上。所以，第三個關鍵是安排好你的時間。我們不能坐視不管，讓别人支配我們的時間。

Now. For some ofus. Yeah, sure. At work, there are certain things that we don't have a say in,but you'd be surprised at how many things you do have a say in when it comes toyour calendar. You'd be surprised at how often you can say no to something. Andwe'll talk about that as a teaser. I'll talk about that in episode four, but.
現在。對我們中的一些人來說。是的，當然。在工作中，有些事情我們没有發言權，但你會驚訝地發現，當涉及到你的日程表時，有多少事情是你有發言權的。你會驚訝於你能經常對某件事說不。我們會把它當作一個玩笑來討論。我會在第四集里說的，但是。

The idea withscheduling your time, managing your calendar is that it's your time. It's yourcalendar. You can manipulate it. You can set it up in such a way that allowsyou to be more productive, reclaim your energy and. Really manage your time,the way you need to, and the way you want to. So what we're going to talk aboutis the ideal week.
安排你的時間，管理你的日程表的想法是這是你的時間。這是你的日歷。你可以操縱它。你可以這樣做，讓你更有效率，回收你的能量和。真正的管理你的時間，你需要的方式，你想要的方式。所以我們要說的是理想的一週。

So the idea, um,and some people called us time-blocking or. You know, segmenting, um, or to goback to key to bucketing your time, um, actually on the calendar. So you couldtake, um, and whatever you want to call it, whether it's bucketing, segmentingtime-blocking, whatever, now that you have those segments, those buckets, um,in your audit of the time that you spend and the tasks that you do now, youkind of have an idea.
所以這個想法，嗯，有人叫我們時間阻塞或。你知道的，分段，嗯，或者回到關鍵點，把你的時間，嗯，實際上在日歷上。所以你可以，嗯，不管你想叫它什麼，不管它是bucketing，segmenting time blocking，隨便什麼，現在你有了這些段，那些桶，嗯，在你對你花費的時間和你現在做的任務的審計中，你有了一個想法。

Okay. Like,These are the types of things that energize me when the question is now, nowthat you know the, what, what you're doing, um, and what drains you and whatenergizes you. The question now is when and where should I put these things onmy calendar? So. The general concept of an ideal week is you sit down and yougo day by day, hour by hour.
可以。比如，當問題出現的時候，這些事情會讓我充滿活力，現在你知道，你在做什麼，你在做什麼，什麼讓你精疲力竭，什麼讓你充滿活力。現在的問題是，我應該在何時何地把這些事情放在我的日程表上？所以。理想一週的基本概念是你坐下來，一天一天，一小時一小時地走。

And you say, ifI could choose where I spend my time, this is where I would want to checkemail. This is where I'd want it work out. This is where I'd want two hours ofuninterrupted time to focus on that project that energizes me. So you want togo through your days and you want to say, all right, do meetings energize me inthe morning or do they train me?
你說，如果我可以選擇我的時間花在哪里，這就是我想查看電子郵件的地方。這就是我想要解決的地方。在這里，我希望有兩個小時不間斷地專注於那個讓我充滿活力的項目。所以你想度過你的每一天，你想說，好吧，會議是讓我在早上充滿活力還是它們訓練了我？

Don't do thingsin the morning that drain you because by lunchtime you're, you're going to havedecision fatigue. You're not going to have any energy to do challenging, um, projects.So again, what, now that you know what you're spending your time on. And whattrains you and what energizes you let's figure out where and when to put thosethings on your counter.
不要在早上做那些讓你精疲力儘的事情，因為到了午餐時間，你會感到決策疲勞。你没有精力去做挑戰性的項目。再說一次，既然你知道你在花時間在什麼上面了。是什麼訓練了你，什麼讓你充滿活力，讓我們弄清楚什麼時候把這些東西放在你的櫃臺上。

Now, most peoplehave more focus and energy in the morning. Um, there are a lot of studies thatshow that we're clear clear-minded, um, energetic in the morning, but some,some people are night owls and they like to do creative work. Late at nightwhen everybody else is asleep and they've kind of decompress for the day,figure out what it is for you.
現在，大多數人在早上有更多的注意力和精力。嗯，有很多研究表明我們早上頭腦清醒，精力充沛，但是有些人是夜貓子，他們喜歡做創造性的工作。深夜，當其他人都睡著了，他們一整天都在減壓，想想這對你有什麼好處。

So an example,I'm going to share some examples of my, uh, executive that I managed his, histime for his ideal week. He typically, he's not really a morning person. So hetypically does not like to have meetings in the morning. He likes to have kindof uninterrupted. Focus time in the mornings. So what I'll do is I'll block offTuesday and Thursday mornings as focused block time.
舉個例子，我要和大家分享一些我的，呃，主管的例子，我在他理想的一週里管理他的時間。他通常不是一個真正的早起的人。所以他通常不喜歡在早上開會。他喜歡不受打擾。把時間集中在早晨。所以我要做的是把星期二和星期四的早上作為重點街區時間。

And this iswhere he can do what, um, some people call it deep work, um, really focuseduninterrupted time to tackle challenging problems, you know, maybe right. Thatboard deck that. Knee is due next week, but he really just needs to sit downand do it. Um, so again, what I'll do is I'll set those focus blocks up, butthen in the afternoons, I might have meetings because he's an extrovert.
這就是他可以做的，嗯，一些人稱之為深度工作，嗯，真正專注於不間斷的時間來解決挑戰性的問題，你知道，也許是對的。那個板子裝的那個。膝部下週就要到了，但他真的需要坐下來做。嗯，我要做的是，我要做的是把那些重點放在一起，但是下午，我可能會開會，因為他是個外向的人。

People energizedhim, but after four or five meetings in a row, he's pretty wiped. So he's notgoing to be, you know, Maybe had as much focus to review a, um, investor updateletter. So figure out what is that, that you enjoy again, the it's called anideal week for a reason. So go dream big in this, uh, exercise and don't letthings was like, Oh, well, you know, I have to meet with my boss on Mondaymornings, but I'd rather have focused time on Monday mornings as well.
人們讓他精力充沛，但一連開了四五次會，他就徹底完蛋了。所以他不會，你知道，可能會有那麼多的精力去審查，嗯，投資者更新信。所以弄清楚那是什麼，讓你再次享受，這被稱為理想的一週是有原因的。所以，在這個，呃，鍛煉中做個大夢，不要讓事情變得像，哦，好吧，你知道的，我要在週一早上見我的老板，但我寧願把時間集中在週一早上。

Don't let thatstop you from putting money mornings as focused time. Maybe you can talk toyour boss and change the schedule up a little bit. Um, you know, maybe yeah. Ihave to pick up kids from daycare at certain times. So you just shifted aroundagain. The idea is that start dream big and start with the perfect idea weekin, honestly, if this includes, Oh, I go for a 20 mile bike ride on Mondays.
别讓這阻止你把錢花在早上。也許你可以和你的老板談談，把日程安排稍微改一點。嗯，你知道，也許是的。有時候我得去托兒所接孩子。所以你又換了個地方。我的想法是，從一週的完美想法開始，老實說，如果這包括，哦，我星期一去騎20英里的自行車。

At three o'clockin the afternoon, put that on there. Maybe your, maybe that's what you need tostart your week and you can convince your ex your, your boss or your businesspartner or your employer, um, to let you, you know, come in early on Monday andleave early or whatever, um, so that you can
下午三點，把它戴在那兒。也許你的，也許這就是你一週的開始，你可以說服你的前任，你的老板，你的商業夥伴，或者你的雇主，嗯，讓你，你知道，星期一早點來，早點離開，嗯，這樣你就可以

get that and really.
明白了，真的。

That willsustain you. If that, if that energizes you and that sustains you for longerperiods of time, then do that. Don't be afraid to be ambitious with the, withthe idea week. So go through hour by hour, do it on the weekends too. Iliterally put in things like hanging out with kids, watch a movie, family,dinner nap, um, prayer, meditation workout.
那將支撐你。如果那樣，如果那能激勵你，讓你持續更長時間，那麼就這麼做吧。不要害怕對創意週有雄心壯志。所以，一小時一小時地進行，週末也要這樣做。我真的會做一些事情，比如和孩子們出去玩，看電影，家庭聚會，午睡，祈禱，冥想鍛煉。

Check email, um, pay the bills. I mean,literally just block out everything. And now that you have an audit and nowthat you have, you know, buckets of types of activities and you know whatyou've been doing with your time, you can kind of put it together like apuzzle. So pull, pull things from those buckets and put them together in a waythat looks exciting to you.
查郵件，嗯，付賬單。我是說，把所有的東西都擋在外面。現在你有了一個審計，你知道，現在你有，你知道，各種類型的活動，你知道你一直在做什麼，你可以把它像拚圖一樣拚在一起。所以，把那些桶里的東西拉出來，然后用一種你覺得很刺激的方式把它們放在一起。

That feels like,okay, This is something that I could do. This is something that I could, thisis a sustainable idea week where I'm not going to burn out, I'm going to beenergized. I'm going to be excited to go to work. I'm going to be excited towake up. I'm going to look forward to each day because this is how
感覺好像，好吧，這是我能做的。這是我能做到的，這是一個可持續的創意週，我不會精疲力竭，我會充滿活力。我要去上班了。我會很興奮醒來的。我會期待每一天，因為這就是

I've orchestrated my, myweek.
我已經安排好了我的，我的一週。

All right. Onceyou go in and go big and dream big and figure that out. Then you may have tocome back to reality and you may not be able to just rip the bandaid off onyour current system and go straight full on into your perfect ideal week. Youmay have to take baby steps. You may have to. Do small incremental improvementsover time.
好吧。一旦你走進去，去做一個偉大的夢想，然后弄清楚。然后你可能不得不回到現實中去，你可能無法僅僅撕掉你現有系統上的繃帶，直接進入你完美的理想一週。你可能得慢慢來。你可能不得不這麼做。隨著時間的推移，做一些小的增量改進。

So you couldstart with no Mo no Monday meetings at all, or no Monday afternoon meetingsevery week. Maybe that's the simple start. Maybe you have a two houruninterrupted focus block every Wednesday morning, and that's all you can doright now. That's fine. You've got to start with something even a little tweakto your calendar, like that can make a huge, huge difference.
所以你可以從不開週一會議開始，也可以從每週週一下午不開會開始。也許這就是一個簡單的開始。也許你每週三早上都有一個兩小時不間斷的焦點鎖定，而這就是你現在所能做的。没關系。你得先做點什麼，哪怕是對你的日歷稍作調整，這樣就能產生巨大的、巨大的改變。

Then over time,you can kind of add in more, well, maybe Fridays I'll have a two houruninterrupted block as well. Maybe I'll go to only having meetings on Tuesdaysand Thursdays. Um, over time, maybe that I can shift to that, or maybe I onlyhave meetings in the afternoons and I never have meetings in the morning.
然后隨著時間的推移，你可以加入更多，嗯，也許週五我會有兩個小時不間斷的街區。也許我只去星期二和星期四開會。嗯，隨著時間的推移，也許我可以轉移到那個位置，或者我只在下午開會，而我從來不在早上開會。

So get creativeagain. Think through when you're most. Creative. And when you're most energeticand plop in those important energizing tasks in those times, so that you kindof feel are always filling your bucket up and staying energized. Now, anotherkey is as you kind of move and shift more toward your ideal week, You're goingto have life stage changes.
所以，重新開始創作吧。當你最重要的時候好好想想。有創意。當你最精力充沛的時候，在那些重要的充滿活力的任務中撲通一聲，這樣你就會覺得你總是在裝滿你的桶，保持活力。現在，另一個關鍵是，當你朝著理想的一週前進和轉變的時候，你的人生階段會發生變化。

You're gonnahave job changes. You're gonna have time, you know, you're gonna do it for afew months or you're gonna realize you don't actually like the way it is. Yourealize that you actually like meetings in the mornings better in theafternoon, whatever it is. That's fine. So work to get to that ideal week, butrevisit your rhythms on a regular basis.
你要換工作了。你會有時間，你知道，你會做幾個月，否則你會意識到你其實並不喜歡現在的樣子。你意識到你其實更喜歡早上開會，下午開會，不管是什麼。没關系。所以，努力達到理想的一週，但要定期回顧你的節奏。

So. One of thekeys to kind of maintaining this ideal week and having a sustainable, um,long-term schedule is, and where you're not burning out is to regularly revisityour rhythms. So maybe after a couple of months you realized that you reallylike checking email in the afternoon and you really, it really just drains youin.
所以。保持這個理想的一週並有一個可持續的，嗯，長期的計劃的關鍵之一是，你不會精疲力竭的地方是定期重溫你的節奏。所以也許幾個月后，你意識到你真的很喜歡在下午查看電子郵件，你真的，它真的讓你精疲力竭。

Creates moredecision fatigue in the morning and decision fatigue, by the way, if you don'tknow what this is, uh, it's this concept and this study and the scientific ideathat like, even if you have to make a bunch of little easy decisions, uh,throughout the day, Your going to get fatigued. And so then when you have tomake a bigger decision, you're not gonna, we'll be able to, or it's going to bevery challenging for you too, because you've worn yourself out, making allthese little decisions.
早上會產生更多的決策疲勞和決策疲勞，順便說一句，如果你不知道這是什麼，呃，這是一個概念，這項研究和科學的想法，即使你不得不做一些簡單的決定，呃，一整天，你也會感到疲憊。所以當你必須做出更大的決定時，你不會，我們可以，或者對你來說也是非常有挑戰性的，因為你在做這些小決定時已經筋疲力儘了。

So that's, youknow, to apply that to the ideal week, there are times when you need toschedule, you have to make a big decision. And so you want to schedule those inthe morning before you. Succumb to decision fatigue by the end of the day. Soagain, block out, take those blocks and those buckets of time or thoseactivities in those different buckets, put them in different time, blocks onyour calendar.
所以，你知道，要把它應用到理想的一週，有時候你需要安排時間，你必須做出重大決定。所以你想把這些安排在早上你之前。在一天結束的時候，你會因決策疲勞而屈服。所以，再一次，把那些積木和那些時間桶或那些活動放在不同的時間段，放在不同的時間段，放在你的日歷上。

When, when it'senergizing to you, um, set up your ideal week, slowly implement it. If youcan't just do it all at once. And in regularly revisit your rhythms so that youcan improve it over time. I redo my executives idea week. I do my re-do my ownidea week on a regular basis because some things work for a while and then theystopped working.
當它讓你精力充沛的時候，嗯，設定你理想的一週，慢慢地去實現它。如果你不能一次完成。定期重溫你的節奏，這樣你就能隨著時間的推移而改善。我重做我的高管創意週。我會定期重新做我自己的創意週，因為有些東西工作了一段時間，然后就停止了工作。

And I startedrealizing that I'm more tired on Thursday afternoons. So I want to shiftsomething. Um, don't be afraid to change it, but do be afraid to not try it atall because. If you do not manage your calendar, it will manage you. And thenumber one way that I've seen people burn out is when they just passively letpeople dictate how they spend their time instead of proactively managing
我開始意識到週四下午我更累了。所以我想轉移一些東西。嗯，不要害怕改變它，但是要害怕一點也不要嘗試，因為。如果你不管理你的日歷，它會管理你。我看到的最讓人筋疲力儘的方式是，他們只是被動地讓人們支配自己的時間，而不是主動管理

their time.
他們的時間。

Um, they burnout. So be proactive. Don't passively sit by and let other people dictate. Howdo you schedule your time or what you do with your time? We're going to jumpinto lesson four, uh, in the next episode, which is in key four, which is guardyour time. So really excited to talk about that. Stay tuned.
嗯，它們都燒壞了。所以要未雨綢繆。不要被動地坐在旁邊讓别人指手畫腳。你是如何安排你的時間或你的時間做什麼？我們要跳到第四課，在下一集，在第四個關鍵部分，那就是守護你的時間。我真的很興奮能談這個。敬請期待。
