但是，這是可以做得到的。下班之后你可以擁有生活。
Here are 8 Tips to help you Get Out the Office Door On Time:
下面的8個(gè)小貼士能幫你按時(shí)下班：
1. Set a Goal– Know when you are leaving. If you have a set time that you are working towards, you can adjust your work to meet that goal.
1. 設(shè)定目標(biāo)——知道什么時(shí)候離開(kāi)。如果你有規(guī)劃好的時(shí)間表并為之努力，你可以調(diào)整工作來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)。
2. Set Hard Boundaries– When things start running over, don’t let them. Excuse yourself from that meeting on time. End that discussion when appropriate. Sheryl Sandberg (Facebook COO) is known for setting a hard-line that she leaves work at 5:30PM to get home with her kids. (Recommended reading: Sheryl’s book Lean In.)
2. 設(shè)定嚴(yán)格的界限——當(dāng)事情開(kāi)始超時(shí)時(shí)，阻止這種情況發(fā)生。按時(shí)從會(huì)議離開(kāi)。在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候結(jié)束討論。雪莉-桑德伯格（Facebook COO）以堅(jiān)持每天下午5:30下班去接孩子而聞名。（推薦閱讀：雪莉的書(shū)《向前一步》，）
3. Set Expectations– Advance expectations can work magic. If others know that you need to leave on time, they are more likely to respect your time. This could meaning telling your team or boss in advance, that you need to depart at a certain time that day.
3. 設(shè)定期望——提前設(shè)定期望能帶來(lái)魔法般的效果。如果其他人知道你需要按時(shí)離開(kāi)，他們更有可能遵守你的時(shí)間。這可以是提前告訴你的團(tuán)隊(duì)或老板，那天你需要在某一時(shí)間離開(kāi)。
4. Make An Appointment (With Yourself)– Leaving at the end of the day can be difficult, even from an etiquettestandpoint. However, if you have an appointment, people tend to be understanding. You don’t have to say that it is a dinner with your significant other.
4. （和你自己）預(yù)約——上完班離開(kāi)時(shí)可能很難，即使是從禮儀的角度上來(lái)說(shuō)也是如此。然而，如果你有預(yù)約，別人一般都會(huì)理解。你不必說(shuō)是和你的另一半約會(huì)。
5. Don’t Schedule Meetings at the End of the Day– Set aside the end of your day for admin, clean-up, and wrap-up. These are activities that you control. Meetings tend to run over. Don’t let meetings be the last thing on your daily calendar.
5. 不要把會(huì)議安排在一天結(jié)束之際。把你快下班的這段時(shí)間留出來(lái)進(jìn)行行政管理、清潔和總結(jié)。這些都是你能控制的活動(dòng)。會(huì)議往往會(huì)超時(shí)。不要把會(huì)議安排成你當(dāng)天日歷上的最后一件事情。
6. Don’t Go Out For lunch– While fun, going out for lunch with the gang ends up punching a huge hole in your day. Don’t let the second half of your workday get derailedby an unexpected long lunch. Bring your lunch and if you finish early you can relax or get ahead on your afternoon.
6. 不要出去吃午餐——和一群人外出吃午餐雖然很有趣，但是會(huì)浪費(fèi)你很多時(shí)間。不要讓你工作日的下半部分因?yàn)橐活D意外的長(zhǎng)時(shí)午餐而脫離正軌。帶著午餐去上班，如果你提前做完工作，你可以休息或下午提前走。
7. Start Early – Want to leave early? Try getting to work early. By arriving before others, you can get work done and be ahead of your to do list.
7. 早點(diǎn)兒開(kāi)始——想早點(diǎn)兒離開(kāi)？試試早點(diǎn)兒開(kāi)始工作。你可以比別人先到，把工作做完，提前做待辦事項(xiàng)清單里的事項(xiàng)。
8. Get your Deadlines Done Early– Attack those have-to-do tasks early. The ones that you must get done before leaving work. This will prevent you from getting stuck when you run out of time at the end of the day.
8. 早點(diǎn)兒做有最后期限的工作——早點(diǎn)兒攻克那些必須要做的任務(wù)。早點(diǎn)兒做那些必須下班前做完的工作。這會(huì)讓你免于在下班的時(shí)候發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)間不夠用。
