保持空间清洁有序
Successful people have systems in place to help them find what they need when they need it – they can quickly locate the information required to support their activities. When you’re disorganized, that extra time spent looking for a phone number, email address or a certain file forces you to drop your focus. Once it’s gone, it takes a while to get it back – and that’s where the real time is wasted. Keeping both your living and working spaces organized is crucial.
成功人士的空间安排有条不紊，有助于他们及时找到所需要的东西。他们能迅速定位支持他们活动所需要的信息。如果你的空间很凌乱，搜寻电话号码、查找邮箱地址或某个文件用去的额外时间将会转移你的注意力。一旦注意力分散了，再集中注意力还要花些时间——时间就这样溜走了。所以一定要保持生活和工作空间有序。
