When it comes to time management, productivity and organization, I’ve found that your personality and habits play huge roles in determining the techniques that are natural to you. The more you know about yourself, the easier it will be to create a workable system that will organize your work.
当谈到”时间管理“、”效率“和”条理性“等问题时,什么样的方式、方法适合你,很大程度上取决于你的性格和习惯。你对自己越了解,就越容易形成一套行之有效的工作方式。

The Fantastical
天马行空式

The Fantastical is a visual thinker. I’ve found that a LOT of creative entrepreneurs tend to be Fantasticals. If you’re a Fantastical, you excel at taking interesting problems and producing unique solutions.
天马行空式的人通过视觉进行思考。很多创新型的企业家都是这样的人。这一型的人善于处理富有挑战性的问题,并总是提供与众不同的解决方法。

If you’re a Fantastical, you need to have all the pieces of your work spread out in front of you. If it’s not within your line of sight, it may as well not exist.
如果你属于天马行空式的人,你需要让自己的所有工作出现在眼皮底下,否则,它们就相当于不存在。

The Analytical
分析式

The Analytical is driven by ambition and logic. This is a person found in the board room, occupying the CEO’s chair, or in some other position of power. If you’re an Analytical, you’re able to quickly assess situations and link them to longer term outcomes, and you need information at your fingertips almost instantaneously.
分析式的人雄心勃勃,擅长逻辑。这样的人要么成为CEO,要么成为坐在其他位子上的掌权者。如果你是这一型的人,你能够迅速评估事态,并结合长远效益进行思考,你需要能够很方便的获取信息。

Analyticals often do well with entirely electronic systems that allow the necessary files and folders to appear with just a few keystrokes.
分析式的人需要被电子系统充斥的环境,这样它们仅仅按几个键就能获得需要的文件。

The Environmental
环保式

The Environmental looks at the people around him or her. Are they comfortable, feeling well, and enjoying themselves? An Environmental is the person everyone goes to when they need help, advice, or a shoulder to cry on.
环保式的人关心周围环境中的人。它们是不是正感觉良好,是不是在享受生活?当我们需要帮助、建议和倾诉时,我们常常去找这一型的人。

As might be guessed by the name, environment is extremely important for an Environmental. Sterile filing cabinets and strict systems don’t work well for them.
顾名思义,环境对于“环保”式的人非常重要。呆板的档案柜和严格的制度不适合它们。

The Structural
结构式

Organization comes naturally to a Structural. Everything has its place and everything happens on its own schedule. They don’t understand the trouble that the rest of their colleagues have with their systems.
结构式的人天生讲究条理性。每样东西都有自己的位置,每件事情都按日程表上的顺序发生。

Trouble for a Structural comes in the form of volume. Their systems are often complex, and can buckle under an increase in work load. If you suspect you are a Structural, spend some time now looking for ways to break your system. Are there changes you can make to streamline and avoid those problems?
结构式人的麻烦在于“量”。它们的系统会因为过于复杂而在工作量增加时失灵。如果你怀疑自己是这一型的人,花点时间来打破自己的系统。或者想想能不能做出一些改变来使系统更加合理?
