计划性差

* Planning poorly

　　计划性差

　　Do you spend your first hour at work wondering what you should work on today? "So many people, when they leave their office at 4 to 6 pm, really have no clue what they're going to do first thing the following morning," said Glenn Davis, president of the Next Step Group, which recruits sales and sales management professionals for software and other companies. It's more efficient to plan your next day before you leave work。

　　你是不是每天都要在办公室先花上一个小时考虑该做什么？ Next Step Group公司总裁Glenn Davis说："很多人在下午4-6点离开办公室时，对第二天一早要做什么一点头绪也没有。下班前为第二天做个计划会提高效率。"Next Step Group公司专门替软件公司及其它公司招聘销售及销售管理人员。

电子邮件响应模式

　　* Spending the day in "email reaction mode."

　　一整天都处于“电子邮件响应模式”

　　Answering every email message as it comes in may make you seem responsive, but it's not productive. "You feel like you're being a hero because you're dealing with all your email," said Valerie Frederickson, CEO & founder of Valerie Frederickson & Co., an HR executive search and consulting firm. "But it has nothing to do with achieving your goals."

　　每收到一封电子邮件就立刻去回复。这个做法也许表现出你能积极响应，但并不是一定有成效。人力资源执行官搜索及咨询公司Valerie Frederickson的CEO和创始人Valerie Frederickson说："你感觉自己像个英雄，因为你处理完了所有的电子邮件，但是这对于完成目标没帮助。"

滥用在家办公权利

　　* Abusing work-from-home privileges

　　滥用在家办公权利

　　Yes, you save time when you work from home by not commuting. But too many people are easily sidetracked by the laundry, their kids, a quick errand. "People like to say, 'I get so much more done'" working from home, Davis said. And some do -- but not everyone. If you work from home, make sure you're putting in a full day's work -- and that you're accessible to your colleagues during the workday。

　　是的，在家工作让你不必把时间浪费在路上。但是有很多人会因为洗衣服、孩子和突发状况不能集中精神。Davis说："人们喜欢说，在家办公，‘我能多做这么多'"。有些人的确是，但并不是每个人。如果你在家办公，确保你安排了一整天的工作量，而且在工作日，同事们都能联系到你。

个人生活先于工作

　　* Putting personal life before work

　　个人生活先于工作

　　 Everyone has emergencies from time to time. But it's annoying to have to repeatedly fill in for the colleague who is late every morning because he's checking on his home remodeling project, or who misses an entire afternoon because she scheduled a routine dentist appointment for 1:30 pm。

　　每个人都会时不时有紧急事情，但有些情况让人恼怒，比如你总是要顶替一位每天早晨由于检查家庭装修而迟到的同事，或顶替下午1:30去看牙医而整个下午都没来的同事。

开会迟到

　　* Being late for meetings

　　开会迟到

　　People who show up 5 or 10 minutes late for a meeting cause a "domino effect," Davis said. Meetings later that day may be thrown off schedule because the earlier ones ran late. And people who show up on time feel their time is being wasted。

　　按Davis的话说，开会晚到5或10分钟会引起"多米诺"效应。因为前面的会议开晚了，那么当天安排在后面的会议的时间都会被打乱。而且准时到会的人也会感觉自己的时间被浪费了。

不注意个人健康和卫生

　　* Not taking care of health and hygiene

　　不注意个人健康和卫生

　　Leslie G. Griffen, an HR consultant and career coach, is sometimes hired by companies to approach an employee who doesn't bathe and ask them to improve their hygiene. The problem is twofold, said Griffen, principal of The Griffen Group. A sloppy appearance will cause a poor first impression. Also, "if your hygiene is bad, your health is probably bad," Griffen said. An added benefit of eating well and exercising: You'll have more energy。

　　人力资源顾问及职场教练Leslie G. Griffen有时候会应公司聘请去教导不洗澡的员工，要求他们改善个人卫生。Griffen Group公司总裁Griffen说，这个问题会带来双重恶果：懒散的外表会给人不好的第一印象，而且"如果你的个人卫生不好，那么健康或许也不好。"良好饮食及锻炼的一个额外好处是，你会有更多精力。

不适当的幽默

　　* Using inappropriate humor

　　不适当的幽默

　　Your coworkers may not appreciate your sense of humor. Skip the off-color or "racially targeted" jokes, Griffen said. And be careful about sensitive subjects such as politics and religion。

　　你的同事们可能并不欣赏你的幽默。Griffen说，避免那些下流或"具有种族歧视"的笑话，而且注意政治和宗教这些敏感话题。

不关心自己的工作

　　* Not caring about your work

　　不关心自己的工作

　　People like coworkers who are enthusiastic about what they do. Show that you take pride in your job by presenting yourself well, communicating clearly and doing your best work。

　　人们喜欢对工作有热情的同事。用良好的举止、清晰的交流和最好的业绩来表现出你以工作为荣。
