Daily Time Management with Todoist and Google Calendar
目录
Have you ever been in flow? Each action comes smoothly, step-by-step. You feel in control. The work is stimulating and you feel like you could do this all day. You're unstoppable. 你曾经去过流吗?每一步行动都很顺利,按部就班。你感觉一切尽在掌握。这份工作很刺激,你觉得你可以一整天都做这个。你是不可阻挡的。
But then you finish an action, and you're not really sure what to do next. 但是当你完成了一个动作,你不知道下一步该做什么。
It all collapses. 一切都崩溃。
You find yourself checking facebook, twitter, email. 你发现自己在查看facebook、twitter和电子邮件。
You were on a roll, and then your brain shut off. 你的大脑一片混乱。
What happened? 发生了什么事?
What happened? 发生了什么事?
You were unsure of what to do. In the moment, you should've picked the next action instead of picking which website to check. 你不知道该怎么办。此时,您应该选择下一个操作,而不是选择查看哪个网站。
But thinking about the next action is hard. 但考虑下一步行动是困难的。 Switching from an immersive flow state, to a more cognitive planning state, takes some context switching. Your brain would rather default to another immersive, rewarding state, like scrolling through reddit. 从沉浸式流状态切换到更认知的规划状态需要一些上下文切换。你的大脑宁愿默认进入另一种沉浸式的、有益的状态,比如浏览reddit。
Thinking about the next action is hard, so we don't do it in the moment. 考虑下一步行动是困难的,所以我们现在不做。
The common advice is to block social media, or unplug the internet, or move to a cabin by a lake. Surely this will force you to do the work? 常见的建议是屏蔽社交媒体,或切断互联网,或搬到湖边小屋。这肯定会迫使你做这项工作吧?
But this isn't fixing the underlying problem: you stopped because you didn't know what to do next. 但这并没有解决根本问题:你停下来是因为你不知道下一步该做什么。
The better way is to plan ahead and schedule your day. 更好的方法是提前计划和安排你的一天。
Have your next actions laid out in front of you. 把你下一步的行动摆在你的面前。 Keep ‘planning' and ‘doing' separate. 把“计划”和“行动”分开。 Now when you reach an impasse, you don't have to think. Just look at the plan. 当你陷入僵局时,你不必思考。看看这个计划。
The plan might adjust and flex throughout the day, but there's a plan. 这个计划可能会在一天中调整和灵活,但是有一个计划。
Later, I'll show you step-by-step how I plan my day. But first, let's lay out what's necessary for a great daily time management system. 稍后,我将逐步向您展示我如何计划我的一天。但首先,让我们列出什么是必要的一个伟大的日常时间管理系统。

- Gives enough breathing room to be flexible, and to seize opportunities when they arise.
-给自己足够的喘息空间,让自己变得灵活,并在机会出现时抓住它。

For a daily planning system to work, we will need: 要使日常规划系统发挥作用,我们需要:
- A Todo-list\
A list of well defined projects and a breakdown of actions needed to accomplish those projects\
- A Calendar\
With appointments, meetings, and everyday routines already scheduled\
If you don't have a todo-list and a calendar in place, the rest of this article won't be very helpful to you. Go ahead and set that up first. 如果您没有一个待办事项列表和日历,那么本文的其余部分对您就没什么帮助了。先把它设置好。
If you can, I'd highly recommend one of the following: 如果可以的话,我强烈推荐以下方法:
Calendar Vs. Todolist?
**日历vs全能运动?
属性: :CUSTOM_ID: calendar-vs-todolist :CUSTOM_ID calendar-vs-todolist
结束:
Many people use either a todolist or calendar. 许多人要么使用日程表,要么使用日历。
A todolist is excellent at collecting and organizing actionable tasks. You can break down large projects into subtasks, and keep everything organized. 托多尔主义者擅长收集和组织可执行的任务。您可以将大型项目分解为子任务,并保持一切井井有条。
Todolists are awesome, but they can break down too. Look at some of the biggest complaints people have: “my list is too long”, “looking at it feels overwhelming”, “I have too many things to do!” 托多尔主义者很棒,但他们也会崩溃。看看人们最大的抱怨:“我的清单太长了”,“看着它感觉压倒性的”,“我有太多事情要做!”
Why is this so common? Because todolists are not good at rectifying tasks with the amount of time you really have. 为什么这种情况如此普遍?因为托多尔主义者不擅长用你真正拥有的时间来完成任务。 We are all given the same number of hours in a day, but a todolist has no way of indicating that. You can keep adding tasks and new projects with no limit. 我们每天的时间都是一样的,但是一个托多尔主义者没有办法表明这一点。你可以无限制地添加任务和新项目。
If you keep pushing todo items to the next day, it's not a sign that you're unproductive. It's a sign that you're taking on too many tasks. Get better at eliminating the inessential, at choosing what's most important, at saying no. You aren't being realistic with your time. 如果你一直把要做的事情推到第二天去做,这并不意味着你没有效率。这表明你承担了太多的任务。在消除不必要的、在选择什么是最重要的、在说“不”方面做得更好。你对你的时间不现实。
This is where calendars come in to work their magic. 这就是日历发挥魔力的地方。
The real power of a calendar comes when you use it to combine your todo-list with the reality of time. 当你把待办事项和时间结合起来的时候,日历的真正力量就来了。
A calendar is a big reality check: you only have this many hours today. It's like making a budget, but with your time instead of money. 日历是一个很大的现实检查:你今天只有这么多时间。这就像做预算,只不过是用你的时间而不是金钱。
The calendar says: “You thought you had 6 hours to work, but look at all these things you have scheduled, you really only have 4 hours today” 日历上写着:“你以为你有6个小时的工作时间,但看看你安排的这些事情,你今天真的只有4个小时了。” The boundaries of time are frustrating, but empowering. 时间的界限让人沮丧,但也让人充满力量。 They force you to make decisions about what end up on your tasklist for today. 它们迫使你决定今天的任务清单。 You end up making better choices about what's important when you use both a calendar and a todolist. 当你同时使用日历和日程表时,你最终会对什么是重要的做出更好的选择。

If planning our day takes 4 hours but only saves us 30 minutes, we've wasted our time. 如果一天的计划只需要4个小时,却能节省30分钟,那就是在浪费时间。 Fortunately this process is quicker than you'd think. 幸运的是,这个过程比你想象的要快。
With a few days of practice, planning your day takes about 10 minutes. Add in a few minutes for making adjustments throughout the day. 经过几天的练习,规划你的一天只需要10分钟。增加几分钟的时间来调整一天的工作。
The time you spend planning will be more than made up with improved flow, reduced procrastination, and a better choice of tasks. 你花在计划上的时间将会被改善的心流、减少的拖延和更好的任务选择所弥补。
Alright, lets get to some actionable stuff! 好了,让我们来看看一些可操作的东西吧!

I use todoist and Google Calendar, mostly for their sync capabilities. If you haven't setup 2-way syncing between Todoist and Google Calendar, there's a short guide at the bottom of this article. If you use different applications, you should still be able to follow along with this guide. 我使用todoist和谷歌日历,主要是为了它们的同步功能。如果你还没有设置Todoist和谷歌日历之间的双向同步,本文底部有一个简短的指南。如果您使用不同的应用程序,您应该仍然能够遵循本指南。
(Click here if the above link doesn't work) ([http://www.evernote.com/l/ap-jg3gk5ve6a5ivcut3ny6pfy74jtvwlu/][点击这里,如果上面的链接不工作])
First, open up your todo-list. Look at each project, and prioritize the actions so that the most important items are at the top. 首先,打开你的待办事项列表。查看每个项目,并对行动进行优先排序,以使最重要的项目位于顶部。
In a few cases, a less important action may need to come first: 在一些情况下,一个不太重要的行动可能需要放在前面:
- The action is needed for a more important action to get started
-行动是需要一个更重要的行动开始
- The action takes a long time, but is a ‘set it and forget it' style action. (Think, starting laundry, starting rice cooker, starting computer simulation)
-行动需要很长时间,但是一个“设置它和忘记它”的风格的行动。(想一想,开始洗衣,开始电饭煲,开始电脑模拟)
Our project subtasks have been prioritized, it's time to choose what to do. 我们的项目子任务已经排好了优先级,是时候选择要做什么了。
Choosing What to Work On

结束:
Next, we need to select a day's worth of tasks. Pull items from the tops of your project lists, prioritizing for approaching deadlines, important actions, and tasks that allow others to get their work started. 接下来,我们需要选择一天的任务。把项目从你的项目列表的最前面拉出来,为即将到来的最后期限、重要的行动和允许其他人开始工作的任务划分优先级。
For todoist users, schedule each action for ‘tomorrow'. You can click on the 3 dots next to an actions and pick ‘tomorrow', or edit the action and type ‘tmrw'. This will put all of your day's tasks into the ‘Next 7 Days' list for quick perusal. (If you plan in the morning, pick ‘today'). 对于todoist用户,将每个动作安排在“明天”。你可以点击一个动作旁边的三个点,选择“明天”,或者编辑这个动作,然后输入“tmrw”。这将把你一天的所有任务放到“未来7天”的列表中,以便快速浏览。(如果你计划在早上,选择“今天”)。
Don't assign too many tasks to a day. Keep it under 10, if possible. 不要一天分配太多的任务。如果可能的话,保持在10以下。 Don't be afraid to delete tasks. 不要害怕删除任务。

Now, put Todoist and Google Calendar next to each other on the screen. 现在,将Todoist和谷歌日历并排显示在屏幕上。 In Todoist, look at the ‘Next 7 Days' list to see what's coming up tomorrow. In Calendar, switch to the daily view with the keyboard shortcut 'D' (for daily). 在Todoist中,看看“未来7天”清单,看看明天会发生什么。在日历中,用键盘快捷键“D”切换到“每日”视图。
Look at your calendar, and figure out how much time you really have. 看看你的日历,算出你到底有多少时间。 How long are blank periods of time between appointments? 预约之间的空白时间有多长? All told, how much time do I have today? 总而言之,我今天还有多少时间? Remember to account for extra buffer room to get to and from meetings, errands, etc. 记住要留出额外的缓冲空间,以便往返会议、出差等。
Let's look at the example calendar above. Realistically today I have ~5 hours, made up of two 1-hour blocks and one 3-hour block. 让我们看看上面的示例日历。实际上,今天我有大约5个小时,由两个1小时的时间块和一个3小时的时间块组成。

Immersive vs Process tasks
沉浸式vs进程任务
属性: :CUSTOM_ID: immersive-vs-process-tasks :CUSTOM_ID immersive-vs-process-tasks
结束:
Cal Newport of “Deep Work” makes a distinction between two types of work: deep work, and shallow work. Building the skill of deep work is important in today's economy. But the term ‘shallow work' denigrates the value of certain tasks: unblocking a stuck coworker, delegating tasks, starting automated processes. These ‘shallow' tasks enable your team or company to get more done, even if you have to sacrifice some of your own ‘deep work' time. Cal Newport of " Deep Work "区分了两种类型的工作:深度工作和浅层工作。在今天的经济中,培养深入工作的技能是很重要的。但“浅层工作”这个词贬低了某些任务的价值:比如为陷入困境的同事解堵、委派任务、启动自动化流程。这些“浅层”任务能让你的团队或公司完成更多工作,即使你不得不牺牲自己的一些“深层工作”时间。
I much prefer the terms used by Dan Charnas in “Work Clean”: Immersive time, and Process time. 我更喜欢丹·查纳斯在[[http://amzn]中使用的术语。[" Work Clean "]]:沉浸时间,以及处理时间。
Immersive actions are anything requiring significant focus. It takes some time to load your brain up with relevant information. Immersive tasks take longer and therefore need to be scheduled in larger time slots. 身临其境的动作是任何需要重点关注的事情。让你的大脑装满相关信息需要一些时间。沉浸式任务需要更长的时间,因此需要在更大的时间段内进行调度。
“Process time includes replies, quick decisions, short personal interactions, or small errands. Process tasks are the little management “noodges” that keep projects and people around you going. ... Process time unlocks work on your behalf; delaying process tasks will delay their benefits to you and others.” 处理时间包括回复、快速决策、简短的个人互动或小任务。过程任务是小的管理“面条”,让项目和你周围的人继续。进程时间解锁工作代表您;拖延过程任务会拖延它们对你和其他人的好处。”
Process tasks are short little actions that just need to get done. These can be fit in during smaller blocks of time, or they can be scheduled together in a larger block of time. 流程任务是需要完成的简短动作。这些任务可以在较小的时间段内完成,也可以在较大的时间段内一起安排。
With the paid version of todoist, you can label tasks as immersive, or process with the @ symbol. I don't always do this. If today's task list is getting long, the separation can grant some clarity. 使用付费版本的todoist,您可以将任务标记为沉浸式的,或者使用@符号标记为过程。我不总是这么做。如果今天的任务列表很长,那么这种分离可以提供一些清晰度。

Remember: your calendar is not set in stone. If something comes up later, you can adjust it. 记住:你的日历不是一成不变的。如果以后出现问题,你可以调整它。
Schedule immersive tasks first. Why? 首先安排沉浸式任务。为什么?
- Longer blocks of time are more scarce.
-更长的时间块更稀缺。
- Most people find it easier to focus in the morning\
Avoid filling the morning with process tasks, then not having the energy to do deep work in the afternoon. 避免在上午处理大量的流程任务,然后在下午没有精力做深入的工作。
In Todoist, click to edit the action, and type in the time. The tasks you assign times to will sync with your Google Calendar shortly. 在Todoist中,单击以编辑操作,并输入时间。分配时间的任务将很快与谷歌日历同步。
Todoist automatically detects that you've written a time, and schedules the task for you. Todoist会自动检测到你写了一个时间,并为你安排任务。
Here's what our todolist looks like with immersive tasks scheduled. 这是我们的todolist在安排沉浸式任务时的样子。
Over in Google Calendar, lengthen each of the immersive actions to a reasonable block of time, typically 60 to 90 minutes. 在谷歌日历中,将每个沉浸式动作延长到一个合理的时间段,通常是60到90分钟。
Here's what our calendar looks like with immersive tasks scheduled in. 下面是我们的日程表,其中安排了大量的任务。
When you've slotted in a few immersive actions, you'll see that your day is quickly filling up. 当你沉浸在一些动作中时,你会发现你的一天很快就被填满了。 There might be a few left on your todolist that aren't scheduled. Be realistic, if you don't have room to get to all of your tasks, reschedule or deschedule some of them. 你的日程表上可能还有一些没有安排的任务。现实点吧,如果你没有足够的空间去完成所有的任务,那就重新安排或者取消其中的一部分。
Balance immersive and process actions
***平衡沉浸式和过程动作

结束:
Some days, you might have the whole day available for immersive tasks. While immersive work is important, and often neglected, you need to leave space for process tasks. Unblocking coworkers, and getting admin work done is a necessary part of our world. 有时候,你可能会有一整天的时间来完成沉浸式的任务。虽然沉浸式工作很重要,但常常被忽略,您需要为流程任务留出空间。疏通同事,完成行政工作是我们这个世界的必要组成部分。
How to balance? Charnas suggests starting with a 50⁄50 split, and adjusting from there. A writer might have something like 90⁄10 immersive/process, while a CEO more like 10⁄90. 如何平衡?查纳斯建议从对半分开始,并在此基础上进行调整。作者可能会得到类似于10的浸入式工作/过程,而CEO则更可能得到10个这样的工作机会。
Now it's time to schedule some process tasks: 现在是时候安排一些流程任务了:
We can take one of two approaches: 我们可以采取两种方法之一: Block out a period of time just to do some process tasks 留出一段时间来做一些流程任务 Schedule each task at a specific time, and let them stack up in your calendar 把每个任务安排在一个特定的时间,让它们堆积在你的日历上
Blocking out a period of time leaves your calendar cleaner. It helps to group similar 划掉一段时间可以让你的日历更简洁。它有助于相似的分组 either block out period of time to just do them (can group by email/phone/whatever) 或者是留出一段时间来做这些事情(可以通过电子邮件/电话/其他方式进行分组)
Here I've scheduled 45minutes of process time. That should be enough to finish the 3 process tasks we've got today. 这里我安排了45分钟的处理时间。这应该足以完成我们今天的3个流程任务。
Stacking tasks at the same time looks more cluttered. But doing it this way leaves no room for doubt about what you should be doing and when. 同时堆积任务看起来更杂乱。但以这种方式做这件事,就不会让人怀疑你应该做什么,什么时候做。
Either approach is fine. Just don't tell your boss you're looking at animal shelter cats during the workday. 两种方法都可以。只是不要告诉你的老板你在工作时间看动物收容所的猫。

Unblock others 开启别人
First things first, unblock your colleagues. Have you ever wanted to work on a task, but needed that one piece of information from Bob before you could start? And Bob hasn't responded to your email in 2 days? Dammit Bob. 首先要做的是,让你的同事畅通无阻。你是否曾经想要完成一项任务,但是在开始之前需要从Bob那里得到一条信息?Bob两天没有回复你的邮件了?该死的鲍勃。 Don't be a Bob. 别当鲍勃。
The common advice is to do your most energy intensive, immersive tasks first thing in the morning (I've even said that in this article). But you are almost always not the constraint. Your personal productivity takes a hit by answering emails first thing in the morning, but your company's overall productivity rises. 常见的建议是,把精力最集中、最具沉浸感的工作放在早上做(我甚至在这篇文章中也提到过这一点)。但你几乎总是不会约束。早上第一件事就是回复邮件,这会降低你的个人工作效率,但是公司的整体工作效率会提高。
If an email requires more than a few minutes to generate a response, schedule a call, or a face-to-face meeting. We've all seen those horrible back-and-forth email threads that take weeks to resolve. Most of them can be cleared up with a 15 minute phone call. 如果一封邮件需要超过几分钟的时间来回复,那就安排一个电话,或者一个面对面的会议。我们都见过那种可怕的来回邮件的情况,需要几周的时间才能解决。他们中的大多数人都可以通过15分钟的电话来解决。
It's important not to get tied up answering emails all day. But when others need your input, getting them unblocked means the whole organization gets things done quicker. 不要整天忙着回复邮件,这很重要。但是当其他人需要你的投入时,让他们畅通无阻意味着整个组织可以更快地完成工作。
I have two 30min blocks of time dedicated to unblocking others, one at the start of the day, and one just after lunch. A book author might to unblock others once every few days, while a CEO might need to unblock people every hour. 我有两段30分钟的时间,分别是在一天的开始和午饭后。一个图书作者可能每隔几天就会为别人解封一次,而一个CEO可能需要每小时就为别人解封一次。

Make sure to take breaks. The restored attention more than makes up for the time ‘wasted'. 一定要休息。重新获得的关注远远弥补了“浪费”的时间。 I like a 10 minute break each hour, and a lunch break. If the afternoon is slow and I can fit it in, a 20min nap can give the day a second fresh start. 我喜欢每小时10分钟的休息时间,还有午餐时间。如果下午的时间比较慢,而我又能适应的话,20分钟的小睡可以让这一天重新开始。
Besides the immediate benefits, breaks are a nice time for your brain to synthesize ideas in the background. Have you ever heard the term ‘shower thoughts'? Some of our best epiphanies occur when our brain isn't preoccupied with work, like when we're showering, driving, or walking. 除了眼前的好处,休息时间也是大脑在背景中合成想法的好时机。你听说过“淋浴想法”这个词吗?一些最好的顿悟发生在我们的大脑没有被工作占据的时候,比如我们洗澡、开车或走路的时候。 There's a whole subreddit dedicated to these type of thoughts (though usually more humorous than insightful). 有reddit的整个版块专门讨论这些类型的想法(虽然通常更幽默而非深刻)。
