职场：每周定期回顾下能帮你更进一步

It’s obvious that some employees perform at higher levels than others—but why? David Maxfield, vice president of research for the leadership-training firm VitalSmarts, studied 1,594 managers and employees and found that high performers have adopted smart habits, one of which is an important ritual for getting more done: a weekly review.
显然，有些员工的表现比其他员工高，为什么？管理层培训机构，VitalSmarts的副总裁David Maxfield通过对1594名经理和职员的调查，找到高效的员工有聪明的工作习惯，包括一个对有效完成工作非常重要的项目：每周回顾。
 
This step is very different than how the average person runs their week, says Maxfield. “It’s very easy to plan life from the bottom up, but that’s being reactive,” he says. “You focus on pleasing the people around you and meeting urgent objectives. You could live your entire life that way and be pretty successful, but you’d also be pretty unfulfilled.”
Maxfield称，这一步与平时的生活习惯大不相同，“从星期一到周末，你很容易计划自己的生活，但这只是反映别人需求的一种方式。”“你的注意力集中在取悦身边的人和处理紧急任务上。你可以用这种方式生活，你可以有所成就，但同时，你的生活并不完整。”
 
Instead, plan and review with a cadence of once a week. “Who do you want to be? What are your long-term aspirations? Ask yourself, ‘How do I become a better me?’ It’s not being responsive to immediate tasks; it’s being proactive, making sure you are aligned with personal and professional goals.”
相反，你可以每周做一次回顾和计划。“你想成为什么样的人？你的长期目标是什么？问问自己，‘我如何自我完善？’这不是为了应付当前的任务，而是主动采取并坚持你的人生目标和事业目标。”
Here are the three objectives a weekly review should address.
每周回顾应该包括如下三个目标。
 
GETTING CLEAR
思路清晰
Do a gut check about your direction, making sure you’re aligned with personal and professional goals. “Is it time to have a crucial conversation with a boss or customer?” asks Maxfield. “Identify times when your career was pushed off course from your own desires, and decide what you want to do. It can be hard to get back if you don’t address it.”
问问你自己的内心世界，并坚持你的人生目标和事业目标。“我打算和领导或客户进行一次重要的谈话。现在是时候吗？” Maxfield说，“当你的工作场所偏离了你的理想，你需要提醒自己并决定你想做什么。如果你不提醒自己，你会离你的理想越来越远。”
Then look at what’s been added to your calendar, especially tasks given to you by others. “Are those aligned with what you’re after?” asks Maxfield. “Ninety percent of the time they are, but the other 10% are very important because they can be huge time sucks. It’s bad for me and for the person who put it on your calendar.”
然后检查一下你的日程表上附加的新任务，特别是那些别人托付的任务，“这些工作任务与我的目标方向一致吗？” Maxfield称要这样问自己，“90%的情况下是的，当另外10%并非如此的情况更加重要，因为这些任务会消耗你大量的时间。这对我，对把这项工作托付给我的人都没有益处。”
Review the past week by looking at your roles and responsibilities. Are you missing something because you’re consumed with something else? “Are you doing the things that further your goals, and are you living up to your principles?” Maxfield asks. “When you are in line with your purpose and principles, it grounds you. When your mission and the moment connect, you feel fulfilled and you can accomplish more.”
回顾你的角色定位和你上周的职责。你是否忽略了更重要的事情，因为你忙于其他事情？“你现在做的事情是否会让你与理想越走越远？你是否坚持了自己的原则？” Maxfield称要这样问自己，“如果你坚持自己的理想和原则，它们会使你坚定。当你的计划与你目前的工作相匹配时，你会感到更加充实和富有成效。”
 
GETTING CURRENT
把握当下
Capture loose papers and materials, and organize yourself for the coming week. For example, get your inbox to zero and empty your head of everything you’re holding onto, such as to-dos or ideas, by writing them down and scheduling them.
把资料整理好，准备好迎接新的一周。比如，你的收件箱足够干净，清空了未完成的事情，如完成事情清单，没有更新想法，写下来，加入到自己的工作计划。
 
Review your calendar to see what’s coming up. “Review the list of to-dos and ask yourself if those are the right tasks and right appointments? Do they fit with your goals? Are they aligning with your purpose and principles?” Maxfield asks.
回顾一下自己的日程表，看看接下来是什么。“回顾你未完成的任务清单，问问自己，这些任务完成了吗？他们应该保留约会吗？他们达到你的目标了吗？他们在你的理想和原则？”
 
GETTING CREATIVE
激发创造力
Finally, consider long-term planning by checking in with your “someday goals.” “For example, I’d like to hike Hadrian’s Wall,” says Maxfield. “I don’t have a date attached to it, but I don’t want to lose track of this. It’s important to review different horizons. Is it time to take action on any of those?”
最后，通过回顾你未来的计划来审视你的长期目标。“比如，我很想攀登哈德良长城，” Maxfield称，“我没有实际那一天的计划，但我不想忘记它。从不同的角度审视你的目标是很重要的。现在是完成我的计划的时候了吗？”
A weekly review will help you to lead your life with purpose. “It’s common sense,” says Maxfield. “Anyone looking at this would say ‘duh,’ but one of the interesting things about common sense is that it’s very uncommon. This practice is incredibly and profoundly important for anyone who wants to perform at a higher level.”
每周回顾能帮助你铭记理想，让理想引领生活，“这应该是一种常识，” Maxfield说，“但是人们常常嘲笑这个想法。常识的标志之一是大多数人不理解他们的架子。对于那些想要改善工作环境的人来说，这种做法是极其重要和深刻的。”
