【職場祕笈】把握上班第一個小時 成為職場勝利組 Mastering the first hour of work and becoming part of the workplace success group

要成為職場勝利組，就要懂得運用每個早上，善用時間以發揮最大的生產力，並且能夠在上班的第一小時拋開讓人分心的事情，專注於重要的事。職場專家Lynn Taylor表示：「職場上的成功人士辦事不僅有獨特的優先順序，而且在開始一天的工作時就能保持專注。多年的經驗讓他們能意識到，哪些事情可以等待，哪些不能。」以下是職場勝利組在上班的第一個小時會做的10件事情：

1. 先看大藍圖
花時間看整個大藍圖，整理出大目標，以進一步安排優先順序，而不是急著做事情。

2. 制定計劃及策略
花幾分鐘思考工作的發展方向，追求明確的目標。

3. 檢查並更新待辦事項和行事曆
任何人都不希望一上班就被繁瑣的事情淹沒，但也應該快速掌握待辦事項和行事曆，了解當天待處理的事項和行程安排，避免錯過任何會議或期限。如果沒有計劃就無法明智地利用時間，因此早上是更新待辦事項的最佳時間。

4. 先處理棘手的工作
在第一時間處理那些比較困難，而且需要長期計劃的工作，這樣一整天就不會被擱置的工作困擾。

5. 先不解決人際衝突
不要在上班的第一時間解決與同事或老闆之間的衝突，畢竟剛上班的時候，大家的壓力都比較大，等大家稍微放鬆後再討論，效果會更好。

6. 寫下須深思熟慮的想法
早上是意志力最強的時候，可以利用這段時間撰寫重要的文件、郵件或其他需要思考的內容。

7. 與團隊打招呼
成功的主管和員工會在剛到公司的時候，先與團隊打招呼，展現關懷並建立情誼，這對整個團隊的工作態度和效率都會有好處。

8. 快速閱覽電子郵件
雖然我們不希望陷入電子郵件的漩渦中，但應該快速閱覽以了解當天的重要信息。

9. 不要一早就開會
除非會議需要全神貫注，否則不建議在上班的第一個小時開會，應該將會議安排在下午低能量時段。

10. 放鬆
花幾分鐘放鬆一下，迎接一整天的挑戰，這有助於更好地應對工作。

Lynn Taylor指：「成功是一種心態設定。」用最好的方式迎接新一天，好好利用進入辦公室後的第一個小時，你就可以掌握最佳節奏，好好迎戰工作上的挑戰。

The workplace success group understands the importance of controlling the morning and making good use of time. They are able to eliminate distractions in the first hour of work and focus on important matters. Lynn Taylor, a nationally recognized workplace expert and author, says, "These people not only have a unique set of priorities, but they can also maintain focus when starting their day. Years of experience have made them aware of what can wait and what cannot." Here are 10 things that successful professionals in the workplace do in the first hour of work:

1. Start with the big picture

Take time to look at the overall picture and identify the main goals. This will help prioritize tasks instead of rushing into them.

2. Establish plans and strategies

Take a few minutes to think about the direction your work should take. Pursuing strategic clarity is a worthwhile goal.

3. Check and Update to-do lists and calendars

While you don't want to be overwhelmed by tasks first thing in the morning, quickly glance through your to-do lists and calendar to understand what needs to be addressed and the schedule for the day. This will help you avoid missing any meetings or deadlines. The morning is the best time to update your to-do lists. Without a plan, it's difficult to make the most of your time wisely.

4. Tackle challenging tasks

Handle the difficult tasks that require long-term planning first thing in the morning. This way, you won't be bothered by lingering tasks throughout the day.

5. Postpone resolving interpersonal conflicts

If there's a need to resolve conflicts with colleagues or superiors, it's best not to do it in the first hour of work. After all, everyone is under high pressure at the start of the day. It's better to wait until everyone has relaxed a bit for more effective discussions.

6. Write down well-thought-out ideas

The morning is when your willpower is at its strongest. Take advantage of this time to write important documents, emails, or other content that requires thoughtful consideration.

7. Greet the team

Successful managers and employees greet their team members when they arrive at the office, showing care and building rapport. This has unexpected benefits for the team's attitude and efficiency.

8. Quickly scan emails

Avoid getting caught in an email whirlpool, but quickly scan your emails to understand any important information for the day.

9. Avoid early meetings

Unless a meeting requires full attention, it's not recommended to schedule a meeting in the first hour after starting work. Meetings can be arranged for the afternoon when energy levels are lower.

10. Relax

Take a few minutes to relax and prepare for the challenges of the day. This helps you better cope with your work.

Lynn Taylor points out that "success is a mindset." By embracing each new day in the best possible way and making good use of the first hour in the office, you can master the optimal rhythm and effectively tackle work challenges.
