Clear papers. Take all the papers on your desk, and around your desk, and put them in your inbox. If they don’t fit, just put them in a single pile. Now go through that pile, one document at a time. Don’t put any document back on the pile — deal with it immediately, and then move on to the next document, until you’ve cleared the pile (this may take several sessions for some people). With each document, your choices are to 1) Trash; 2) Delegate; 3) File immediately, 4) Do it immediately; or 5) Put the action on your to-do list and the document in an “action” folder.
第一、整理文件。将你办公桌上的所有文件放到你的文件柜中,如果文件太多那就将文件排放整齐就可以,现在按照顺序一项一项的处理这些文件,但是不要把任何文件放回文件柜中,而是立刻处理这些文件,然后处理下一个直至将所有文件处理完。将文件分类成:1)无用的,2)归档,3)紧急文件,4)马上处理,或者5)排出任务表并把这些文件放到执行文件夹下。
