Learn to Delegate
One reason that many of us end up too busy is because we have the attitude that "If you want a job doing, you have to do it yourself." The truth is,there are plenty of tasks – especially low-level ones – which we should be delegating. It's not only better for us, it's better for other people who can learn and grow their skills by taking on those tasks.
At work, delegating usually means handing on tasks and responsibility to a junior colleague (see here for some tips on delegating effectively). But you can also delegate at home: perhaps getting your teens to help with dinner, or even paying a professional for help with jobs such as cleaning, gardening or decorating.
学会委托
大多人整天忙碌的一个重要原因就是其认为“如果你想完成某件事,你就必须亲自去完成它。”事实上,有很多任务——特别是低水平任务——我们应该委托他人去做。这不仅对我们有好处,他人也可以从中学习和增长技能。
在工作中,委托通常意味着把任务和责任给下属。但是如果是在家中:可能就是让你十多岁的孩子帮忙准备晚餐,或让专业的清洁工、园丁、装修工做相应的工作。
