STEP 2 (1 Minute Every Hour): Refocus. …Set your watch, phone, or computer to ring every hour and start the work that’s listed on your calendar. When you hear the beep, take a deep breath and ask yourself if you spent your last hour productively. Then look at your calendar and deliberately recommit to how you are going to use the next hour. Manage your day hour by hour. Don’t let the hours manage you.
第二步(每小时1分钟):重新调整注意力。把你的手表、手机或者电脑设定为每个小时响一次铃,以此提醒你日程表上列出的事项。当你听到铃声时,做一个深呼吸,然后反躬自问刚过去的一小时是否过得有效率。接着看看你的日程表,好好重新计划下你要如何利用接下来的一个小时。以小时为节点地支配你的一天,而不要让时间支配你。

STEP 3 (5 Minutes): Your Evening Minutes. At the end of your day, shut off your computer and review how the day went, asking yourself… questions like: How did the day go? What did I learn about myself? Is there anyone I need to update? Shoot off a couple of emails or calls to make sure you’ve communicated with the people you need to contact.
第三步(5分钟):你的晚间时光。在一天结束的时候,关掉电脑并回忆这一天是怎么过的,扪心自问这些问题:我是怎么过这一天的?我今天学到了什么?我有什么需要改进的吗?另外,大量回复邮件和电话以保证你已经和所有需要联系的人联系过了。
