如何提高办事效率

Eliminate distractions

屏蔽干扰

Whether it's by listening to music to block out background noise, or using website blockers like Google's Stayfocussed app to keep you away from Facebook or other time-sucking sites, one of the best ways to get things done is to keep everything else out so that we can focus on the task at hand.

就好比用听音乐来屏蔽掉外界噪音，或用谷歌的保持专注应用软件等网页拦截器来阻拦Facebook等浪费时间的网站，完成任务的一个好办法就是屏蔽掉其他干扰，这样我们才能专心投入手中的事情。
