改變這幾件事 讓週五工作效率更高

Here are 7 Things to Eliminate From Your Fridays to Make Them More Productive:
有七件事情必須從週五的日程中刪除，那樣會使你的工作更有效率：

Email – Get out of your inbox and get productive. Stop waging the email war. Some companies have designated Friday “email free” and it has made a tremendous impact of their team’s ability to get work done.
Email—關掉你的收件箱，變得高效點。別再跟打仗似的瘋狂收發email了。有些公司已經把週五定爲了“無email日”，而這對工作效率產生了巨大的影響。

Meetings – Meetings take up way too much of our work week already. Let’s declare “No Meeting Fridays” and reclaim at least one day a week from scheduled meetings.
會議—開會每個禮拜已經佔用了你太多的時間了。不如宣佈“週五無會議”然後從安排好的會議裏每週至少去掉這一天吧。

Negativity – It’s the end of the week, there is no time for being negative. Leave out the complaining, whining, and gossiping. Don’t associate with those who do it. You’ll be long gone for your weekend while they’re still telling stories.
消極情緒—到一週的結束了，沒時間讓你消極了。別再抱怨和傳播謠言了，也別和這麼做的人打交道。在他們還在侃侃而談的時候，你早就能投入週末的懷抱了。

Phone – Friday is a great day to stay off the phone. Instead of talking on the phone, go see people in person. Go down the hall and talk to someone face-to-face. For those who are remote workers, this may not be possible. But, you can try other more personal ways to communicate such as Facetime or Skype. The extra effort almost always pays off in the relationships built. You can’t communicate at the same level when you can’t see someone.
手機—週五是遠離手機的好日子。與其聊手機，不如去看望下別人吧。下樓去和某人面對面地交談一番。對於那些從事遠程工作的人而言，或許這很難做到。但是你也可以用其他一些更私人的方式和別人交流，諸如Facetime或者Skype。這些額外的努力總能在建立人際關係方面給你帶來回報。如果你不能見到某人的話，你們是沒法在同一個水平線上交流的。

Interruptions – One of the best ways to reclaim your Friday is to limit interruptions. Find a place to do uninterrupted work. Maybe it means reserving a meeting room or even going offsite. Of course, set expectations with your team before you “go silent” so that they know how to reach you for a true emergency.
打擾—回收星期五的最好辦法之一是限制外界的打擾。找個不受打擾的地方去工作。或許那意味着預約一間會議廳或者乾脆到外面去。當然，在你“不告而別”之前要通知好你的團隊，以免他們遇到真正緊急的情況時找不到你。

Unnecessary Paperwork – Keep Friday for the important work. The creative work that you can’t seem to get large time blocks for during the week. Leave the unnecessary paperwork for later. This is also a good time to look at what paperwork needs to be eliminated on a permanent basis, as well. Much of the paper-shuffling we do is unneeded in the big scheme of things.
不必要的文書工作—把禮拜五留給重要的工作。那些你平時很難找出大量空閒時間的創造性的工作。把那些不必要的文書工作推後。這也是檢查哪些文書工作應該被永久刪除的好機會。從整體計劃的角度來看，很多我們在做的文書編排工作都是不需要的。

Work Hours – I am a big proponent of the “results oriented work environment.” Get your work done and get out. There is no reason to expand your work to fit the time. The traditional work week is dead. In a ROWE, those who have been working hard all week can go home early. The rest can stay and finish their work.
工時—我是“結果導向型工作環境（ROWE）”的忠實支持者。沒必要爲了湊時間而延伸你的工作。傳統的工作周已經過時了，在ROWE中，那些一整週都用功工作的人能早點回家。而其他人則要留下完成他們的工作。
