職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)：學(xué)習(xí)超級(jí)準(zhǔn)時(shí)的成功人士的7個(gè)習(xí)慣

1. They're realistic.

他們非?，F(xiàn)實(shí)

People who are chronically late underestimate how long it will take them to take a shower, get dressed, and reach a destination. Punctual people are realistic about their time and will often add a few extra minutes to give themselves some wiggle room.

那些經(jīng)常遲到人往往錯(cuò)誤地預(yù)估了他們洗澡、換衣服以及到達(dá)目的地的時(shí)間。守時(shí)的人時(shí)間觀念極強(qiáng)，也會(huì)預(yù)留出額外的時(shí)間來(lái)讓自己不至于太緊張。

If you want to start planning realistically, write down how long you think it takes you to do your morning routine. Then for a week, track how long it actually takes you to get ready, and use that new estimate when planning out your mornings.

如果你想要開(kāi)始切實(shí)的計(jì)劃，不妨記錄一下你覺(jué)得早晨你那些例行公事所需的時(shí)間。然后花一周時(shí)間看看你實(shí)際到底花了多久，然后用這個(gè)時(shí)間來(lái)規(guī)劃你的早晨吧。

2. They prepare for unexpected delays.

他們考慮到了意料之外的耽誤

This habit is related to the one mentioned above about giving yourself buffer time. Punctual people prepare for any unforeseen delays due to traffic, getting lost, forgetting something at home, etc.

這個(gè)習(xí)慣其實(shí)就是指上面提到的給自己一些額外時(shí)間。守時(shí)的人會(huì)為了交通、迷路、忘帶東西等這些事先無(wú)法預(yù)計(jì)到的事情做好準(zhǔn)備。

If they're going somewhere that is 10 minutes away, they leave 20 to 25 minutes ahead to account for any unexpected scenarios. By giving themselves buffer time, they often arrive early — but never late.

如果他們?nèi)ヒ粋€(gè)地方需要十分鐘，那么至少會(huì)預(yù)留出20-25分鐘來(lái)照顧那些突發(fā)事件。為了給自己額外的時(shí)間，他們常常早到——但絕不遲到。

3. They're fine with downtime.

他們不怕等人的無(wú)聊

Because punctual people give themselves buffer time, they often arrive early — and they are more than comfortable enjoying a few minutes waiting. Whether they are checking emails, reviewing notes, reading a book, or clearing their heads, punctual people not only enjoy their downtime, but also come prepared with something to do.

守時(shí)的人給自己較多的緩沖時(shí)間，他們經(jīng)常早到——所以也習(xí)慣了去享受那幾分鐘的等待時(shí)間。無(wú)論是看看郵件，新聞，讀書(shū)或者是放空發(fā)呆，守時(shí)的人不僅享受這個(gè)空白段，還會(huì)有事可做。

People who are chronically late, however, do not enjoy their downtime and prefer the thrill of rushing to and from a place. If you want to be more comfortable waiting for someone, then bring a book or an iPad to help pass the time.

而那些經(jīng)常遲到的人，沒(méi)有那個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)去享受這個(gè)空白段，總是在急忙中不斷地從一個(gè)地方到達(dá)另一個(gè)地方。如果你想要更加開(kāi)心的等人，不如帶本書(shū)或是iPad去打發(fā)這段時(shí)光吧。

4. They plan everything down to the T.

他們每天有計(jì)劃的過(guò)

Extremely punctual people not only show up to places on time, but also lead highly structured and organized lifestyles. They plan out their mornings, days, and nights with a set of activities and routines and stick to them every day. They keep calendars up to date with new meetings and appointments and try not to overschedule.

那些時(shí)間觀念極強(qiáng)的人不僅會(huì)按時(shí)出現(xiàn)在某個(gè)地方，也會(huì)有著高度規(guī)劃好的生活模式。他們?yōu)槊刻煸绯?、白天以及夜晚設(shè)定了一系列的活動(dòng)和安排，并且每天都嚴(yán)格遵守。他們不斷更新日歷添加新的會(huì)議和約會(huì)，但絕不安排過(guò)量。

Being organized with your belongings can also save you time when you're getting ready — keep your keys, wallet, and phone in a designated area so that you don't have to search for them in the mornings. To become more punctual, try adding more structure to your daily routine!

對(duì)自己的時(shí)間有規(guī)劃不僅能大大節(jié)省你的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間——比如把鑰匙、錢(qián)包和手機(jī)放在固定的地方，這樣早上就不用到處尋找。要想更加守時(shí)，讓自己的每天過(guò)的更加有計(jì)劃吧。

5. They get things done ahead of time.

他們都提前完成任務(wù)

Punctual people get everything done ahead of time, because procrastinating means stressing out and scrambling at the last minute. They pick out what to wear and pack their bags the night before. If they're packing lunch for work, they do that the night before as well. By getting things done early, they have less to worry about in the morning and can focus on being punctual.

守時(shí)的人往往提前完成任務(wù)，因?yàn)橥涎右馕吨黾訅毫?，越到最后越抓狂。他們?huì)在頭一天晚上選好第二天穿什么，包里放什么。如果他們要帶午飯，就也會(huì)提前一天晚上準(zhǔn)備好。早早做好這些事，他們?cè)缟暇筒恍枰偃?dān)心什么，就肯定可以守時(shí)啦。

6. They go to bed early.

他們?cè)缭缛胨?/strong>
