Today, I’d like to talk about an important topic, one that is very closely related to time management.
今天我想分享一个老生常谈的话题，因为讲时间管理绕不开这部分。
What I want to say is that time cannot be managed, but you can manage yourselves. By managing your habits and your actions, you can achieve the same effect as managing time.
我想说：时间是无法管理的，能够管理的只有自己。透过管理自己的习惯，管理自己的事件来达成对时间的管理。
Are there any theories, methods or tools in this world that tell us how to improve and how we manage our matters and habits? management essay writing www.hotessay.cn
那当今世界上有哪些非常成熟的理论、方法和工具，可以让我们能够更好地去管理自己的事件和习惯呢？
Peter Drucker, known as the father of management theory said about time management: “Time is man’s scarcest resource.” He even ranks time management as one of the top five skills needed in an effective manager.
首先是我们管理学的泰斗，叫德鲁克。德鲁克老先生，他是这么说时间管理的，他说：“时间是一个人最重要的稀缺性资源。”他甚至把时间管理排在5项管理中第一的位置。
How, then, do we manage our time?
时间怎么来管理呢？
Drucker said, we should record and analyze each day’s events, so we can manage our time better.
德鲁克说，要把每天发生的事情记录下来，然后进行分析，最后才能更好地安排时间。
Drucker found, in his analysis, that 80% of the tasks completed in a day are simple enough that they can be delegated to others. Only 20% are so important are so specific that you must complete them yourself.
德鲁克没有给时间管理进行更多的阐述，但是他得出一个结论：他说一个人20%的事情需要自己做，80%的事情不需要做，或者委托别人做。
An Italian economist named Pareto advocated the 80/20 principle stating that about 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
二八法则是意大利的一个经济学家---帕累托提出来的。
But, Drucker proposes an 80/20 principle in time management. He thinks that we ourselves need to complete essential tasks but not all tasks. This brings up a quote that I want to share with you now, “Life lies not in how many things you complete, but in completing the critical few important things with your heart and soul and doing them to the best of your ability!.”
但是德鲁克提出了时间管理的二八法则，他认为我们要去做重要的事，所以就引发了我现在想跟大家分享的一句话：“人生不在于做多少事，而在于把重要的事情专注做、用心做、把它做到极致！”
This is called completing the critical few!
这就叫做要事！
A time management guru Stephen Covey wrote a book titled The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. You may familiar with it. But right now, can you recall these seven habits?
经过很多年的发展，有一个叫史蒂芬·柯维的人，他写了一本书叫《高效能人士的7个习惯》，大家都很熟悉，可是空中的你。现在可以记起来这7个习惯吗？
I believe, most of you may have forgotten them. I’ve asked numerous people in my classes. Many people remember one or two or a few of them but not all of them. This demonstrates that these seven habits seems to be easy, but in fact they are difficult to put into use.
我想很多人，不一定记得起，我在课堂上问过无数的人，很多人都背不全，说明看似简单，实则用起来比较难。
Stephen Covey taught us an important principle: the four quadrants of time management as a way of categorizing and prioritizing the tasks we need to accomplish at any given moment. These are:
当然了，史蒂芬·柯维，谈到很重要的时间管理四象限：
*Important but non-urgent
重要不紧急
*Important and urgent
重要紧急
*Unimportant and non-urgent and
不重要不紧急
*Unimportant but urgent.
不重要紧急
