IT人员的时间管理

Think Leverage

　　If there is one keyword in your mind, that word should be “leverage.” There are enough resources out there that can help you make your work and life easier. What is common among all these resources is that you need to invest first before you get a return.

　　It seems logical but it’s hard to put into practice. Invest in resources (i.e., relationships) for the long haul and keep configuring these resources for projects with a win-win approach to get the highest leverage.

　　我们头脑里面最关键的词就应该是平衡。有太多的资源可以使我们的工作和生活变得更加容易，而一个普遍法则就是在你想获得回报前你需要提前进行投资，努力涉猎你任务将会对你工作和生活有价值的所有资源。

　　这道理上将很简单，但却很难付诸于实践，首先对资源的投资必须是一个长期努力的结果和回报，同时你还需要计划对这些资源进行高效的配置和平衡。

　　Building Future Capacity

　　As you progress in your career, your job responsibilities will change and you will need new skills to excel in your roles. While you are very busy with sharpening your skills that are required to flawlessly execute on your current job, it is extremely important to carve out time to acquire the necessary skills required for your future roles. In essence, you need to invest in building your future capacity.

　　当你的职业生涯取得进步的时候，你的工作职责将会改变而且你需要新的超过你当前角色的技能。而在你磨练当前岗位或角色技能的时候你可能更需要花时间来学习＆锻炼你未来岗位或角色所需要用到的技能。简而言之，你需要对你的将来能力提前投资。

　　In summary, rather than trying to check off more items on your “To Do” list, start thinking about getting higher leverage from every hour of your life.

　　根据上文我个人的总结为时间管理的境界并不是关注重要而紧急的事情，而是关注重要而非紧急的事情。关注重要而紧急的事情是局眼于现在，关注重要而不紧急事情则是为未来投资。
