别再骗自己了：这些时间管理的谎言你必须要改

“我没时间”、“我一会儿再做”，回想一下，这些话是不是经常出现在你的日常工作中？其实这些只是我们习惯性说的时间管理谎言。别再骗自己了！你完全可以管理好你的时间，就看你愿不愿意去做了。

Here are the Top 10 Time Management Lies That We Tell Ourselves:

这里列出了我们最常用的十大时间管理谎言：

1.I don’t have time.

1.我没时间。

Yes, you do have time. The same in the day as everyone else. You have just chosen to spend it elsewhere.

错，其实你有时间。每个人的一天都是一样的，你只是选择把它花在了其他地方。

2.I have to do this.

2.我得先做这个。

The next time you say this, ask yourself, “What would happen if I didn't do this?” Many of the things we take for granted as “must do” are only required because we let them be.

下次你再说这样的话的时候，问问你自己，“如果我不做这件事情，会发生什么？”很多我们自然而然地觉得“必须做”的事情，其实只是我们自己把它们变成了必须做的事情而已。

3.I can get this done in an hour.

3.我能在1个小时内完成这项工作。

We often underestimate the time that tasks take. Have you ever pulled an all-nighter on a project that you thought we only take a few hours?

我们经常低估做任务所花费的时间。你有没有曾经把整晚的时间花费在一个起初你认为我们只需花费几个小时就能搞定的项目上？

4.I am going to do it.

4.我正要去做。

Stop saying. Start doing. There is a big difference between saying you are going to do something, and actually doing it. Action always beats empty words.

停止用嘴巴说。开始行动。真正的付诸行动和说要去做之间是有很大差异的。行动总能战胜空话，事实也总是胜于雄辩。

5.When I have more time.

5.等我有更多的时间。

You have all the time you are going to have. You are not going to “have more” later. Truth be told, you don’t even know how much you have left. Just do it now.

你已经拥有所有的时间。之后你并不会有更多的时间。说实话，你自己都不知道你还剩下多少时间。 现在就开始行动吧。

6.When things settle down.

6.等一切都安定下来了。

There is no normal life. Just life. Life is not going to suddenly calm down in the future so that you can do something new. Some of the best work is done under pressure and while things are busiest.

生活永远不会安定下来。这就是生活。生活不会在未来突然变得平静，因此你可以尝试做一些新的事情。一些做的最好的工作往往是在压力和最繁忙的状态下完成的。

7.I’ll do it tomorrow.

7.我明天再做。

Today is the day. Not tomorrow. Or the day after that. Stop putting off things until tomorrow. Let today be the day.

今天就是最好的选择。而不是明天或者后天，停止把该做的事情推迟到明天，让今天变成最好的一天。

8.That deadline isn't important.

8.截止日期不重要。

Many of us are numb to deadlines, thinking that they are not important. However, even if there is not an apparent consequence, there is always lost time and missed opportunities.

大部分人对截止日期是没有任何感觉的，认为它们并不重要。然后，尽管这样做没有很明显的后果，但却会浪费 你的时间、让你错过机会。

9.I can’t do that.

9.我做不到。

If you haven’t tried, then how do you know? We are all stronger than we think. Only by stretching yourself will you find that your boundaries are much larger you think.

如果你不去尝试，你又怎么知道你做不到呢？我们都比自己想象中的要强大。只有通过不断地延伸自己，你才会发觉其实你的能力比你想象的大多了。

10.I am going to change.

10.我会改。

Most people don’t change. They get older, maybe a little bigger. But, most do not change. Change is hard. So, don’t take it lightly when you “say” you are going to change. It takes concentrated effort and much discipline.

大多数人都不会改变。人们只会变老，也有可能变胖。但大多是不会改变的。改变是很难的。所以，当你说你要改变的时候不要随便说说，因为改变需要集中精力和很强的自制力。
