Triple Your Personal Productivity
Have you ever had the experience of looking back on your week with the sinking feeling that you didn't get as much done as you'd hoped？ When building a successful career or a business of your own, your time is perhaps your most valuable asset, and your income is a direct result of how you spend your time. You cannot buy any more time than you're given, and the clock is always ticking.
A few years ago, I discovered a simple system that allowed me to nearly triple my productivity, and in this article I'll share some very practical ideas you can apply right away to increase your effectiveness without working any harder than you do now.
Keep a detailed time log.
The first step to better managing your time is to find out how you're currently spending your time. Keeping a time log is a very effective way to do this, and after trying it for just one day, you'll immediately gain tremendous insight into where your time is actually going. The very act of measuring is often enough to raise your unconscious habits into your consciousness, where you then have a chance to scrutinize and change them.
Here's how to keep a time log. Throughout your day record the time whenever you start or stop any activity. Consider using a stopwatch to just record time intervals for each activity. You can do this during only your working time or throughout your entire day. At the end of the day, sort all the time chunks into general categories, and find out what percentage of your time is being spent on each type of activity. If you want to be thorough, do this for a week, and calculate the percentage of your total time that you spent on each type of activity. Be as detailed as possible. Note how much time you spend on email, reading newsgroups, web surfing, phone calls, eating, going to the bathroom, etc. If you get up out of your chair, it probably means you need to make an entry in your time log. I typically end up with 50-100 log entries per day.
You may be surprised to discover you're spending only a small fraction of your working time doing what you'd consider to be actual work. Studies have shown that the average office worker does only 1.5 hours of actual work per day. The rest of the time is spent socializing, taking coffee breaks, eating, engaging in non-business communication, moving around papers, and doing lots of other non-work tasks. The average full-time office worker doesn't even start doing real work until 11:00 am and begins to wind down around 3:30 pm.
Analyze your results.
The first time I kept a time log, I only finished 15 hours worth of real work in a week where I spent about 60 hours in my office. Even though I was technically about twice as productive as the average office worker, I was still disturbed by the results. Where did those other 45 hours go？ My time log laid it all out for me, showing me all the time drains I wasn't consciously aware of—checking email too often, excessive perfectionism doing tasks that didn't need to be done, over-reading the news, taking too much time for meals, disturbed by preventable interruptions, etc.
Calculate your personal efficiency ratio.
When I realized that I spent 60 hours at the office but only completed 15 hours of actual work within that time, I started asking myself some interesting questions. My income and my sense of accomplishment depended only on those 15 hours, not on the total amount of time I spent at the office. So I decided to begin recording my daily efficiency ratio as the amount of time I spent on actual work divided by the total amount of time I spent in my office. While it certainly bothered me that I was only working 25% of the time initially, I also realized it would be extremely foolish to simply work longer hours.
Cut back on total hours to force an increase in efficiency.

听力原文：W: Mike! Long time no see. What's up？
M: Hey, Lydia. Fancy meeting you here. Are you keeping busy？
W: A little bit. Well, someone told me you've got bunches of good stamps, like a museum.
M: I do have a lot. I'm interested in stamp collecting. I guess it's actually a part of my life.
W: They cost a lot though. How can you afford them？
M: Sometimes I do have hard time with them. I've to save every penny. But it's worthy. And, when big days such as my birthday or Christmas come, most of my friends give me stamps as gifts.
W: That's good. Stamp collecting is also a long-term investment. The price keeps going up. You can earn a lot by bringing them to the market.
M: I'm afraid not. For me, stamp collecting is merely a bobby, a personal fondness. I'd be sad if I'd ever have to sell them.

M: I couldn't agree more.
W: By the way, have you ever been to other countries？
M: Not yet.
W: Then how do those foreign stamps come from？

W: I see. My friends travel a lot every year. Lf you like I could ask them to help you with that.
M: That would be too good if it's not trouble for them.
W: Not at all.
M: Now, I'm heading for the post office. I heard a new set of stamps is for sale for the World Cup. Do you have interest to go with me？
W: I'd love to. But I've to meet my friend at 4 o'clock at the airport. He's coming back for vacation. Anyway, I'll call you later.

听力原文： Last semester almost half the students in my class failed. Before you get scared and conclude that I don't like my students, let explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition there are certain rules of formality that must be followed in order to clearly communicate. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel that formal rules are not necessary. When 1 grade a paper and I see that you have misspelled a word, you have lost 10 points. If you have used inadequate punctuation, that can cost you up to 15 points. Additionally, any paper that you can not finish on time will not be accepted. Any theme that is not submitted on time will not be graded. You will have to read all the assignments. I will give quizzes on the reading assignments in order to make sure that you are keeping up on your readings. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursdays. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests, several quizzes and six theme papers. Any time you have a problem I would seriously recommend that you come to see in my office. My office is located on the fourth floor of the building directly in front of the building we are in now. The hour is 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm on the same days as class. For Thursday you write an essay about your readings from the short story on Page 74 of the textbook. If there are no questions, that will be all for today.

A．There will be a test on Tuesday.
B．There will be a quiz on Tuesday.
C．The class will read the story on Thursday.

听力原文：M: Why, Mary Smith. I haven't seen you for ages. How have you been？
W: John, John Brown. It has been a long time, hasn't it？ It must be at least a year.
M: No, we talked at the Johnson's Christmas party last December. Don't you remember？
W: That's right. Well, how are you？ Still working for the Jones and French Company？
M: No, I changed jobs about 3 months ago. I'm with the National Bank now. How about you？
W: I'm still teaching at the university. But I switched from the German department to the Spanish department.
M: Don't tell me you speak Spanish, too.
W: Sure. I grew up in Spain, you know. German was what I studied in college, but my Spanish is much better.
M: All I've ever managed to learn is a little Italian. I can get a pizza in Rome, but not much more.
W: Well, how is your family？ Are the children all in school now？
M: No, Billy is still at home. Tom is in the third grade and Jane's in the second. Billy could have gone to kindergarten, but we didn't want him to start school too early. So we're keeping him out until next year.
W: Our two children haven't started school yet either. But my daughter Sue will go in the fall, too. Oh, my bus band just came in. I want to go ask him something. I'll talk to you again later, John.

听力原文：M: What do you mean by a friend, Jean？
W: Oh, Robert, to me, friendship is the most important thing in life. It's more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life.
M: Someone who likes the same things that you do, who can argue with and not lose your temper, even if you don't always agree about things. I mean someone who you don't have to talk to all the time but can be silent with, perhaps. That's important, too. You can just sit together and not say very much sometimes. Just relax. I don't like people who talk all the time.
W: Are you very good at keeping in touch with your friends if you don't see them regularly？
M: No, not always. I've lived in lots of places, and, to be honest, once I move away, I often do drift out of touch with my friends. And I'm not a very good letter writer, either. Never have been. But I know that if I saw those friends again, if I ever moved back to the same place, or for stone other mason we got back into close contact again, I'm sure the friendship would be just as strong as it was before.
W: Several of my friends have moved away, got married, things like that. One of my friends has had a baby recently, and I'll admit I don't see her or hear from her as much as I used to...She lives in another neighborhood and when I phone her, she always seems busy. But that's an exception. I write a lot of letters to my friends and get a lot of letters from them. I have a friend I went to school with and ten years ago she emigrated to Canada, but she still writes to me every month, and I write to her just as often.
(23)
A．Those who like the same things that you do.
B．Those who you can argue and not lose your temper.
C．Those who you don't have to talk to all the time but can be silent with.
D．All the above.
