時間管理課堂：工作總是做不完 怎麼趕進度？
When you are behind, it can be overwhelming. It may feel like you will never be back on track. You might not be able to immediately get All your work done. However, you can always be catching up.
當你落後了，你會覺得工作難以應對，感覺像是你永遠無法回到正軌。你好像無法馬上做完你的工作。然而，你總是可以趕上來的。
Are you falling behind on your work? Do you ever find yourself behind? Too many to dos. Not enough time. So much work, that is feels like the flood of tasks will never stop.
你在工作中落後了嗎？你是否曾經發現自己落後了呢？很多待辦事項。時間不夠用。太多工作，好像如潮般的工作永遠不會停止。
When you are behind, always be catching up. A little bit here and a little bit there. Productivity is not accomplished in one fell swoop. It probably took you quite a bit of time to get into your current situation; it’s going to time to get out of it.
當你落後的時候，總是會趕上來的。這裏完成一點，那裏完成一點。工作效率不是一下子就能實現的。你可能是花了一些時間纔到你現在的處境，擺脫這種情況也需要花時間。
Here are 7 Ways to Always Be Catching Up:
七個方法讓你趕上進度：
1. Stop Digging
停止挖坑
When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. Address the issues and behaviors that are causing you to not get things done.
當你發現自己在一個洞裏，首要事情是停止挖坑。找出那些造成你沒有完成工作的問題和行爲。
2. Clean Up Your Workspace
清理你的工作區域
Taking a few moments to clean up the mess can help you see your work and have room to actually do it. Don’t underestimate how your workspace affects your productivity.
花點時間收拾髒亂無章的工作區域，可以讓你看到有哪些工作要做，並且騰出空間來做這些工作。不要低估你的工作區域對你工作效率的影響。
3. Check Your List
檢查你的待辦清單
When you are behind, you stress about the things that are not getting done. Make sure you look at your todo list, so that you can address your highest priority tasks first.
當你工作滯後了，你會對沒做完的事情感到很緊張。確保你看過待辦事項清單，這樣你可以先解決當務之急的工作。4. Shut Your Door to Interruptions
免於外界干擾
If interruptions are keeping you from getting your work done, you may need get some peace and quiet. Find an isolated place to work, or simply close your door until you complete the task at hand.
如果外界干擾時造成你無法完成工作的原因，那你需要一個遠離喧囂的地方。找到一個單獨的環境來工作，或者乾脆關上門，直到你完成手頭上的工作爲止。
5. Eat that Elephant Bite by Bite
大象要一口一口的吃
You probably have an “elephant task” that is so big that you think you will never get it done. When you need to eat the elephant, dedicate yourself to doing a little bit each day.
或許你有一個“大象工作”，任務如此巨大，你覺得你永遠也完成不了。當你需要吃掉大象時，你要堅持每天都做一點。
6. What Do You Need to Stop Doing?
你需要停止做什麼？
If you don’t have enough time, you need to remove some activities from your day. Sometimes it isn’t what you need to get done, but rather what you shouldn’t be doing in the first place. Take a hard look at where you are spending your time and what you can cut out of your schedule.
如果你沒有足夠的時間，你就要取消一部分日常活動。有時問題不是出現在你要完成什麼，而是你不應該先做什麼。認真的看一下你每天都將時間花費在什麼地方，仔細想一下哪些活動應該從你的日程中刪除。
7. When You Can’t Do A Lot… Do a Little
當你無法做很多時……少做一點
You won’t always be able to get all of your work done. When you can’t do it all, do one thing. A little bit done today, always beats the promise of more done tomorrow.
你不可能總能可以將全部工作做完。如果你無法做完所有的事情，就去完成一件。今天完成一點，明天就有少做一點的希望。
Sometimes you will find yourself behind. You won’t be able to do all the things you need to do. Instead of letting it overwhelm you, take small productivity steps in the right direction.
有時你發現自己落後了，你不可能做完所有要做的事情。與其讓工作將你壓到，不如在正確的方向上採取有效率的步驟。
