很多人都说他们在一天里没有足够的时间去完成一些事情。然而，他们却在不知不觉中让时间一分一秒地流逝。对很多人来说，这就是造成效率下降的一个主要原因——零碎时间没有利用好。
我们不要小看短短的10分钟可以完成的小事，完成这些小事可以提高你整天的工作效率。
所以这里给大家列出了在10分钟内可以做的10件小事。
Too many people say that they do not have enough time in their day to get their stuff done. Yet， they let their time slip by bit-by-bit， minute-by-minute. For many people， it is this “in-between” time that becomes a major source of lost productivity.
Let’s not underestimate what we can get done in just 10 minutes. These little bursts of productivity can drive your whole day.
So， here are 10 little things you can do with those 10 minutes.
Respond to 10 Emails 回复10封电子邮件
Keep it short， and remember that not all email messages deserve a response. 10？ Yes， and be ruthless with that inbox.
回复要简单一些，记住并不是所有的邮件都需要回复。10封？是的，对于收件箱内的邮件要知道取舍。
Respond to 3 Phone Calls 回复3个电话
Return that call. Reach out to that colleague that you need to meet up with. And schedule that doctor’s appointment that you have been putting off for 6 months.
要回复电话。给那个需要见面的同事回个电话。并且要安排好已经推迟了6个月的与医生的会面。
Pay Some Bills Online 在线支付账单
In just a few minutes， you can pay your bills with online billpay. You’re not still dealing with paper bills， are you？
只需要几分钟，你就可以在网上完成付款。你不会还一直在处理纸质账单，对吧？
Write 写点什么
You will be surprised how much you can write in 10 minutes. Write a memo. Start a blog post. Whatever you need to get done.
你会对在这10分钟内能写些什么感到惊讶。写一下备忘录。写点博客。任何你想写的东西都可以。
Read 10 Pages in a Book 读十页书
Whether it is in the doctor’s office or the car dealership， use that time to read a few pages. Some people carry a book with them for these moments. Personally， with my iPhone or iPad， I always have books at my fingertips to keep me occupied.
不管是在医生的办公室还是在汽车专营店，用这点时间来读几页书。有些人会随身带一本书来利用这段时间。就我个人而言，我会把书籍下载到我的iphone或者ipad里面，指尖一触随时充实自己。
Catch up with a Co-worker 和同事聊聊天
10 minutes early to that meeting？ This can be one of the best times to have a meaningful conversation with another colleague. You can reconnect with someone. At a recent meeting I had the chance to reconnect with one of our executives， someone who I might not normally have a chance to chat with on a personal level.
离会议开始还有10分钟？这可能是你和另一位同事展开一个有意义会话的最佳时间段了。你可以重新和一些人取得联系。在最近的一次会议上我就有机会重新联系上了我的一位主管，他是那种我一般私下不会有机会能与之交谈的人。
Prepare 准备
Get ready for a future appointment. Look at tomorrow’s calendar. Is there any prep-work you need to do？ It could be as simple as getting some documents together or researching a topic.
为即将到来的约会做准备。看下明天的日历，有什么准备工作你需要做吗？它可能是像把一些文件准备到一起，或者准备研究一个话题这样简单的事情。
Reflect 反思
Spend the few moments， reflecting on your day. What have you accomplished？ What has made you happy today？ What do you still need to address？
花几分钟来反思一下这一天。你完成了什么？今天什么事情让你很开心？还有什么事情需要你处理？
Reach Out & Touch Someone 走出去和某人说说话
In these days of email， microblogs， text msgs， and more… It has become increasingly rare to actually communicate in person. When I find I have a 10 minute block of time to spare， I will walk down the hall and speak to someone face to face that I normally would not see.
在今天，有邮件、微博、短信以及更多和人联系的方式，人们缺乏与人面对面的交流。当我发现我还有10分钟的时间时，我会在大厅里走走，和一些我平时不怎么碰面的人面对面地交流。
Do Nothing 什么也不做
Of course， you could just waste the 10 minutes surfing the net or checking the news. Unfortunately， too many people choose this last option.
当然，你也可以完全用上网和刷新闻来打发这10分钟的时间。不幸的是，很多人都选择了最后这一项。
