您所說的話：如何跟蹤時間

Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite time tracking tips, tricks, and tools. Now we’re back to highlight the techniques HTG readers use to keep tabs on their time.

本周初，我們要求您分享您最喜歡的時間跟蹤技巧，竅門和工具。 現在，我們将重點介紹HTG讀者用來掌握時間的技術。

While more than one of you expressed confusion over the idea of tracking how you spend all your time, many of you were more than happy to share the reasons for and the methods you use to stay on top of your time expenditures.

你們中的不止一個人對跟蹤您如何度過所有時間的想法感到困惑，但許多人還是很樂于分享花費時間的原因和使用的方法。

Scott uses a fluid and flexible project management tool:

Scott使用靈活靈活的項目管理工具：

I use kanbanflow.com, with two boards to manage task prioritisation and backlog. One board called ‘Current Work’ has three columns ‘Do Today’, ‘In Progress’ and ‘Done’. The other is called ‘Backlog’, which splits tasks into priority groups – ‘Distractions (NU+NI)’, ‘Goals (NU+I)’, ‘Interruptions (U+NI)’, ‘Interruptions (U+NI)’ and ‘Critical (U+I)’, where U is Urgent and I is Important (and N is Not). At the end of each day, I move things from my Backlog to my ‘Current Work’ board, with the idea to keep complete Goals before they become Critical. That way I can focus on ‘Current Work’ Do Today so I don’t feel overwhelmed and can plan my day. As priorities change or interruptions pop up, it’s just a matter of moving tasks between boards. I have both tabs open in my browser all day – this is probably good for knowledge workers strapped to their desk, not so good for those in meetings all day. In that case, go with the calendar on your phone.

我使用kanbanflow.com和兩個闆來管理任務優先級和積壓。 一個叫“目前工作”的委員會有三欄“今天做”，“進行中”和“完成”。 另一個稱為“待辦事項”，它将任務分為優先級組-“幹擾(NU + NI)”，“目标(NU + I)”，“中斷(U + NI)”，“中斷(U + NI)”和“關鍵(U + I)”，其中U為緊急，I為重要(N為非)。 每天結束時，我都會将事情從待辦事項移到我的“目前工作”董事會，以期在達到關鍵目标之前保持完整的目标。 這樣，我可以專注于“今天的目前工作”，這樣我就不會感到不知所措，可以計劃自己的一天。 随着優先級的改變或中斷的突然出現，這僅僅是在電路闆之間移動任務的問題。 我一整天都在浏覽器中打開了兩個頁籤-這可能對綁在辦公桌上的知識工作者很有用，而不是整日開會的人。 在這種情況下，請在手機上使用月曆。

While the above description might make it sound really technical, we took the cloud-based app for a spin and found the interface to be very flexible and easy to use.

盡管上面的描述聽起來确實很技術性，但我們還是試了一下基于雲的應用程式，發現該界面非常靈活且易于使用。

Samon53 offered up detailed explanation of how they’ve combated their procrastination tendencies:

Samon53提供了有關他們如何應對拖延傾向的詳細說明：

I have recently identified myself as a Chronic Procrastinator, from reading the book ‘The Procrastination Equation’(An extremely good book backed up by many scientific studies http://procrastinus.com/). After doing the short survey in the book I rated in the top 10% of procrastinators and on the website I scored a worrying 100/100. While I’d tried strategies to manage time in the past I’d not stuck to them or had found them ineffective.

最近，通過閱讀《拖延方程》(這本非常出色的書，得到了許多科學研究的支援，http：//procrastinus.com/)，我将自己确定為慢性拖延者。 在完成這本書的簡短調查後，我将拖延症患者的前10％評為最高，在網站上，我的評分達到了令人擔憂的100/100。 過去，我嘗試過一些政策來管理時間，但我并沒有堅持這些政策，也沒有發現它們無效。

Having actually realised the extent of the problem I have started drawing up more charts and timetables and making the activities in them extremely specific so as to really prompt you to get on with them. If you put just a generic activity like work you are never going actually react to a notification about it I go. Start off by assigning work periods for different tasks, breaks etc. then add in further details when you break off working for next time. Try actually specifying the exact task you are going to do.

真正意識到問題的嚴重性之後，我開始制定更多的圖表和時間表，并使其中的活動變得非常具體，以真正促使您繼續進行下去。 如果您隻進行諸如工作之類的一般性活動，那麼您永遠都不會對我要去的通知做出React。 首先為不同的任務，休息等配置設定工作時間，然後在下次中斷工作時添加更多詳細資訊。 嘗試實際指定要執行的确切任務。

I draw up charts for work to do lists and timetables for different time periods. One application I used was RescueTime which tracks all of your web use and categorises it. While useful for data it did not really help me in actually saving time, though it may be more effective for some and they do offer a pro service. I find it sometimes provides false reassurement as you tend to assign task that are still useful but not your main goal as productive.

我為工作繪制圖表，以列出不同時間段的清單和時間表。 我使用的一個應用程式是RescueTime，它可以跟蹤您的所有網絡使用情況并對其進行分類。 雖然對資料很有用，但它實際上并沒有真正幫助我節省時間，盡管它對某些人可能更有效，而且他們确實提供了專業服務。 我發現它有時會提供錯誤的保證，因為您傾向于配置設定仍然有用的任務，但主要目标不是生産性的。

I use Google Calendar with notification on both my phone and PC (Checker Plus for Chrome is extremely Good for this.

我在手機和PC上都使用帶有通知功能的Google月曆( Checker Plus for Chrome對此非常有用。

I have an extremely reliable watch with both analogue and digital displays with all the bells and whistles but for -when I got it at least- a very reasonable price £22.

我有一個非常可靠的手表，帶有模拟和數字顯示以及所有的鈴聲，但是-當我至少得到它時-非常合理的價格£22。

I have set-up two computers next to each other one for work one for play the work one with multiple monitors (I’m thinking of trying RescueTime again and setting it up to only allow work). Context for Chrome is great for setting choosing just the applications that you need so as not be distracted by new emails feeds or add-ons etc.

我已經将兩台計算機彼此相鄰地設定為工作一台，以便使用多台顯示器播放工作一台(我正在考慮再次嘗試RescueTime并将其設定為僅允許工作)。 Chrome的上下文非常适合設定選擇所需的應用程式，以免被新的電子郵件供稿或附件等分散注意力。

I also multi-task a lot washing up or cleaning why not watch a TV program or radio that you were planning on watching show on-demand so as not to be distracted by watching it later when working. Try not to do thinking work (for me Games Design) and entertainment at the same time it just makes you less productive and more distracted.

我還經常洗碗或打掃工作，為什麼不收看您打算點播的電視節目或廣播，以免日後上班時分心。 盡量不要同時進行思考工作(對我來說是遊戲設計)和娛樂，這隻會使您的工作效率降低，注意力分散。

I’m a heavy sleeper myself so have three different alarm clocks letup- a Teas-made, Dawn light, and maths puzzle. If you can limit your sleep to the minimum your body will allow without feeling tired you can save a lot of time. I have recently embarked on a new fitness regime to help reduce my sleep time.

我自己是一個沉睡的人，是以有三種不同的鬧鐘鈴聲-茶具，曙光和數學難題。 如果您可以将睡眠時間限制在最低限度，那麼您的身體将不會感到疲倦就可以節省很多時間。 我最近開始采用新的健身方式，以減少睡眠時間。

Finally working as a group can really benefit some people I find myself a lot less distracted if everyone one around me is working. Procrastinators Anonymous is a good group for support which I’m just starting to use.

最後，作為一個小組的工作真的可以使某些人受益，如果我周圍的每個人都在工作，我發現自己的注意力要分散很多。 拖延者匿名組織是一個很好的支援小組，我剛剛開始使用。

In conclusion there are loads of ways to improve your productivity even if like me you find procrastination the Bane of your life. I’m still only part way through The Procrastination Equation so still have not found all the ways that can help me improve, I have only recently started to really fight my procrastination (and am currently still unproductive) and expect to learn more ways to win, so watch this space.

總而言之，即使像我一樣，發現拖延是人生的禍根，也有很多方法可以提高您的生産力。 我仍然隻是通過拖延方程式的一部分，是以仍然沒有找到可以幫助我改善的所有方法，我隻是最近才開始真正地對抗拖延症(并且目前仍然無能為力)，并希望學習更多的取勝方法，是以請注意此空間。

Chester H was one of several readers who used Time Tracker:

切斯特·H(Chester H)是使用時間追蹤器的幾位讀者之一：

I use a program called Time Tracker. This records all programs by actual time used. If I use Microsoft Word I can classify this as work Item with Time Tracker. Most Items come preclassified, however you can reclassify them yourself. You can also define your own categories. The program provides a pie chart for your time usage to the screen by percentage. You can export your results to a CSV file for later analysis. The program is still freeware. It supports Windows 98 to Windows 7.

我使用一個名為Time Tracker的程式。 這将按實際使用時間記錄所有程式。 如果使用Microsoft Word，則可以使用Time Tracker将其分類為工作項。 大多數項目都是預先分類的，但是您可以自己重新分類。 您還可以定義自己的類别。 該程式提供一個餅圖，以百分比形式顯示您在螢幕上的時間使用情況。 您可以将結果導出到CSV檔案，以供以後分析。 該程式仍然是免費軟體。 它支援Windows 98到Windows 7。
