今年《財富》全球40位40歲以下商界精英的飛行里程和開會時間很可能比大多數人想象中的都要更長。我們請他們分享提升效率的技巧,應用技巧之后可以有時間做大量的工作,甚至還能夠留出一點時間去享受個人生活。 下面是其中的一些回復。 杰茜·威茲德姆,37歲 Humu聯合創始人兼首席執行官 每周伊始,我就列出一周里想完成的事情,寫的時候用已經做完的語氣,比如說“白皮書撰寫完畢”,或是“成功會見了團隊的每個成員”等。顯然,每周實際情況都不會完全按照計劃進行,但是用這種框架來小小地推動一下,確實能夠鼓勵我擔起責任。 特雷弗·馬丁,30歲 Mammoth Biosciences聯合創始人兼首席執行官 確保有避免電話或短信干擾的空間,留出時間專注完成重要的事情,而不是等到事情變得緊急時才去做。 艾莉森·阿特威爾, 31歲 亞馬遜語音用戶界面設計師 我有個原則:總是全神貫注于面前的東西。做X事時,Y事就要往后排。如果我在會議中聽某個人講話,就不會讓手機分散注意力。這已經成為我用來平衡生活的強制手段。如果我對某件事、某個項目、又或是某個關系做不到全神貫注爭取成功,就表明我該調整了。如果抽不出時間,就意味著我的注意力太過分散。這種習慣提升了我的工作效率,在各種關系中更加快樂,也變成了技術更嫻熟的登山家。 邁克·戈倫斯坦,33歲 Cronos集團首席執行官 我工作中最大的秘訣是,對每件事情都用解決方案為導向的方法。與其糾結為什么流程會出問題,不如找出最優解決方案并實施。 奧默·伊斯梅爾,39歲 高盛美國消費者業務主管 管好日程,否則就會被日程牽制。我每天花一小時處理電子郵件,而不是整天都在趕進度,在日歷上每周留出十個小時的“思考時間”,每周還要抽兩個小時了解公司同事的情況。 克里斯托·卡爾曼,38歲 TransferWise聯合創始人兼首席執行官 對于工作和旅行,我最大的建議是確保睡眠充足。為了把工作做好,我會安排一天讓自己睡到自然醒。旅行方面,尤其是在長途航班上,全程我都會補覺。另外,我五年前就戒酒了。 薩姆·拉波波特,38歲 NFL橄欖球發展高級總監 我每次坐飛機都穿同一套衣服,一身黑加Yeezy運動鞋。這樣一來,我就不用每次登機前都要想應該穿什么,而且非常舒適。 恩里克·杜布格拉斯,23歲 Brex聯合創始人兼首席執行官 我是巴西人,午餐喜歡吃很長時間。即使在最忙碌的時候,我仍然會找機會坐下來吃一頓正經的午餐,這樣可以讓大腦清醒。我不會只吃個三明治或沙拉對付,很多美國人似乎都喜歡。 帕里薩·塔布里茲,36歲 谷歌Chrome瀏覽器工程總監 我總會隨身帶一袋杏仁或堅果,萬一在工作中、在路上或外出時突然餓了就可以吃。饑餓容易導致錯誤的決定,造成不必要的損害,所以我會盡量讓自己的手邊有健康食品能吃或分享給別人。 阿莉希亞·蒙塔諾,33歲 美國中長跑項目名將 我總是帶孩子們一起旅行,所以準則就是簡單為上。每人一件隨身行李,其他都不要!如果有些東西可帶可不帶,那就不帶了。 最喜歡的工具和應用程序。 有些時候,只要工具合適就能夠把工作做好。以下是《財富》全球40位40歲以下商界精英不可或缺的工具和應用: 利茲·邁耶德克,37歲 Uber Eats全球業務拓展主管 可以切換時區的數字手表。知道家里的時間,我跟家人保持聯系也方便點。 邁克爾·克拉西奧斯,32歲 白宮科技政策辦公室美國首席技術官 Spar是我還在硅谷時有個朋友開發的應用程序,能夠幫忙養成良好的習慣,包括多讀書、健身等等,也可以對朋友更負責。 邁克爾·米尼亞諾,36歲 Anchor聯合創始人兼首席執行官 Todoist能夠幫助我跟蹤每天必須完成的諸多事務,非常簡潔明了,我很喜歡。 趙鵬,36歲 Citadel Securities首席執行官 Slack(工作)、Spotify(生活)和微信(生活)。 瑞恩·威廉姆斯,31歲 Cadre聯合創始人兼首席執行官 1. Todoist應用程序 2. Audible應用程序 3. Tidal應用程序 4. Bible應用程序 5. Calm應用程序 克里斯托·卡爾曼,38歲 TransferWise聯合創始人兼首席執行官 我在Zoom和Slack上花了很多時間,Looker和GitHub對工作效率的提升也讓我很驚喜。 喬伊·布拉姆維尼,29歲 Algorithmic Justice League創始人 有個能夠記錄創意、想法、詩句的記事本就行。數字記事本還是實體記事本并不重要,重要的是收集未完全成型的想法,以備隨后回顧和提煉。 皮特·布蒂吉格,37歲 美國總統候選人兼印第安納州南本德市長 只要有支筆、牙刷、音樂和牛肉干,我在哪里都能夠活下去。(財富中文網) 譯者:艾倫 審校:夏林 |
The members of this year's 40 Under 40 class likely log more miles in the air and hours in meetings than most of us can imagine. We asked them to share their personal productivity hacks—tricks that allow them to squeeze in massive amounts of work, and might even leave a little time left over for, you know, a life. See some of the responses below. Jessie Wisdom, 37 Cofounder & CEO, Humu At the start of every week, I write down everything I want to accomplish. But I write it down as if I already have, like “Finalized the white paper,” or “Successfully met with each person on my team.” Obviously, no week goes perfectly according to plan, but the little nudge of the framing really helps me to hold myself accountable. Trevor Martin, 30 Cofounder & CEO, Mammoth Biosciences Mak[e] sure to create space without distractions like calls or messages and set aside time to focus on what's important rather than urgent. Alison Atwell, 31 Voice User Interface (VUI) Designer, Amazon I have one rule: I always give what’s in front of me my undivided attention. If it’s time to work on X, Y has to wait. If I’m giving someone my time in a meeting, my phone won’t be there to compete for attention. It’s been a forcing function for balancing my life. If I’m not giving enough undivided attention to one thing or project or relationship to be successful, It’s a sign I need to adjust. If I don’t have that kind of time, it means I’ve spread myself too thin. This has made me much more productive at work, happier in my relationships, and a much better mountaineer. Mike Gorenstein, 33 CEO, Cronos Group My best work hack is to have a solutions-oriented approach to everything. Instead of trying to figure out why a bad process was put in place, figure out the optimal solution and implement it. Omer Ismail, 39 Head of U.S. Consumer Business, Goldman Sachs Manage your calendar or your calendar will manage you. I dedicate one hour a day for emails rather than trying to keep pace throughout the day, block off ten hours a week of “think time” on my calendar and two hours a week of office hours for catch ups with colleagues throughout the organization. Kristo K??rmann, 38 Cofounder & CEO, TransferWise My best advice for work and travel is to make sure you get enough sleep. To do my best work, I arrange my day such that I don't need an alarm clock to get up. For travel, especially on long haul flights, I sleep throughout the whole flight. I also stopped drinking alcohol 5 years ago. Sam Rapoport, 38 Senior Director of Football Development, NFL I wear the exact same outfit every time I fly. All black and my Yeezys. It reduces the amount of decisions I have to make before I get on a flight and I’m extremely comfortable. Henrique Dubugras, 23 Cofounder & CEO, Brex I am Brazilian so I appreciate a long lunch. Even during the busiest times I still find the opportunity to sit down and have a proper lunch to clear my mind - not just a sandwich or some salad scarfed down like many Americans seem to love. Parisa Tabriz, 36 Senior Director of Engineering for Chrome, Alphabet I almost always have a bag of almonds or nuts on me in case I get hungry at work, on the road, or when out and about. Hunger leads to bad decisions and unnecessary victims, so I try to keep healthy calories within reach to eat or share. Alysia Monta?o, 33 U.S. National Champion runner I almost always travel with my kids so my rule is: Keep it simple. One carry on per person, and that’s it! If it can’t fit in the carry on it doesn’t need to come. Favorite Tools and Apps Sometimes, doing your best work is all about having the right tools. Here are the tools and apps our 40 under 40 can’t live without: Liz Meyerdirk, 37 Global Head of Business Development, Uber Eats A digital watch that can toggle between timezones. Knowing what time it is at home really helps me stay connected to my family. Michael Kratsios, 32 U.S. Chief Technology Officer designate, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Spar—an app a friend developed when I was in Silicon Valley. It helps you get into good habits—reading more, working out, etc.—and holds you accountable with friends. Michael Mignano, 36 Cofounder & CEO, Anchor Todoist helps me keep track of the many things I have to get done on a daily basis. It’s super straightforward, and I love it. Peng Zhao, 36 CEO, Citadel Securities Slack (work), Spotify (personal), and WeChat (personal). Ryan Williams, 31 Cofounder & CEO, Cadre 1. Todoist app 2. Audible app 3. Tidal app 4. Bible app 5. Calm app Kristo K??rmann, 38 Cofounder & CEO, TransferWise I spend a lot of time on Zoom and Slack. I’m also mega impressed with the productivity boost I get from Looker and GitHub. Joy Buolamwini, 29 Founder, Algorithmic Justice League A notebook to capture ideas, thoughts, poetic phrases. Sometimes it’s digital, sometimes it’s physical, but the important part is collecting sparks of ideas that aren't fully formed to revisit and refine. Pete Buttigieg, 37 Presidential Candidate & Mayor of South Bend, IN I can survive pretty much anywhere as long as I’ve got a pen, a toothbrush, some music, and beef jerky. |
