Here’s four tips Evernote’s biggest fan has for staying organized all week long.
以下是他在一週內將事務維持井井有條的4個秘訣。
organized(adj.)有條理的
Firstly, give each workday a theme. Sometimes we have so many emails and little jobs that we forget what we really need to do.
首先，給每個工作日定下主題。有時候我們會有太多電子郵件和瑣事，讓我們忘記真正該做的事。
theme(n.)主題
Chris says that setting a topic for each day helps you stay focused. For example, Tuesdays are for business, Wednesdays are for marketing, Fridays are for finishing anything that’s left over.
克里斯說，每日設定主題工作能幫助你專注，例如，週二是商業日、週三行銷日、週五要完成所有未處理的事項。
topic(n.)主題focused(adj.)集中的、目標明確的marketing(n.)行銷
Next, always plan ahead. Chris has nine different calendars on Evernote, including travel, work, and his children’s activities.
接下來，要記得提前計畫。克里斯在Evernote上有9個日曆，包含旅遊、工作及小孩子的活動。
ahead(adv.)未來
Not only does this help the CEO keep track of everything, it also lets him look at his long term goals as well as how well he is doing.
這樣做不僅能幫助他追蹤每件事的進度，也能讓他檢視長期目標的進展。
keep track確保了解
Thirdly, stop planning your day according to your emails. Instead, write a “tomorrow list” before you go home the day before with three things you need to get done the next day.
第三，不要再以電子郵件去計畫你的一天，而是要在回家前寫下「明日待辦事項」，上頭記錄隔天需處理的3件事。
Chris recommends doing the most difficult problem first to get it out of the way. He also says you should only check your email twice a day, so it doesn’t get too distracting.
克里斯建議，從最困難的先做起，如此便可先排除最麻煩的事。他也提到，我們一天只需要查看電子郵件兩次，才不會讓我們太過分心。
recommend(v.)推薦distracting(adj.)使人分心的
Last of all, reduce the number of meetings you go to. At Evernote, Chris has a “no agenda, no attendance” rule.
最後，減少會議。在Evernote，克里斯有個「沒有議程就不參加」的會議規則。
reduce(v.)減少agenda(n.)議程attendance(n.)出席
That means if the meeting doesn’t have a clear goal then he doesn’t join it. When he does, he makes sure that somebody takes notes to share with everyone afterwards.
那代表了，如果會議沒有清楚的目標，他就不加入。如果他有開會，也會確保有人做紀錄，會後能跟所有人分享。
Remember, everyone is different and has their own way of staying organized, but finding the right approach is the key to getting more done in a day.
需謹記的是，每個人都不同，且有自己規劃的方式，但找到對的方法是讓每天更有效率的關鍵。
organized(adj.)有條理的approach(n.)方法
