ESL Podcast 272 – Time Management
时间：2019-01-11 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
Ruby 1: I’m snowed under with work! I can’t seem to keep up with everything I have to do. You’re always so organized and efficient. How do you do it?
Ian: I’m not always organized and efficient, but I’ve gotten better since I read a book about time management. I use a few tools that the book recommends, which help me to plan and to keep track of deadlines.
Ruby: Do you think it would help me?
Ian: Definitely. This is what I do. I keep a to-do list of all of the things I need to do. Then, I decide which tasks are high-priority and which have low- priority. I write down the deadline I’m given for the task or I assign a deadline of my own, and I make a note of the most urgent tasks.
Ruby: That seems pretty simple, but how do I keep track of the progress I make on a task? Sometimes things just slip through the cracks for me.
Ian: I do a couple of things. First, I keep my list updated. I check off or cross off those that I’ve done. I also put reminders 2 for myself on my computer to help me with scheduling. It helps me to remember my appointments and to allocate 3 my time better.
Ruby: That sounds like a great system. All I need now is some extra time so I can start doing some time management!
