问题 If you’re employed in the field of business, there is something you have likely experienced before: the feeling of helplessness and stress as deadlines pass and work piles up. For many, it seems like an endless battle. After all, there are only so many hours in a day. Thankfully, there is a way to make the most out of your time. Here are some tips from successful executives who have learned to manage their schedules and be more productive.
1. Plan ahead
Time management is less about managing time and more about managing activities. Assign "things to do" to specific times of the day, days of the week, months of the year, and so on. In addition, assign deadlines to each task or project, but set them at least two days ahead of the actual due dates so you will always be on time.
2. Prioritize tasks
If you have too much work, try to complete the most important tasks and projects early in the morning to avoid being overwhelmed with work later in the day. Too often throughout a day, other obligations and responsibilities creep in and distract you from your work.
3. Take notes
Keep a notebook handy to record something you have neglected to include in your schedule, or to write down ideas. Otherwise, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay focused on the tasks before you.
4. Put everything in its place
At home, in the car, and especially at work, minimize distractions by maintaining orderly surroundings. Keep frequently used items within reach, but store everything else in drawers and cabinets.
5. Reward yourself
Motivate yourself to finish tasks by rewarding major accomplishments. Depending on the nature of a completed task, your reward can be as simple as giving yourself a break to enjoy a leisurely activity.
The word "reach" in paragraph 5, line 2 is closest in meaning to
选项 A、proximity
B、extension
C、area
D、category
答案A
解析 在包含reach的语句“Keep frequently used items within reach”中，reach意为“(伸手可触及的)距离，范围”。因此表示“邻近，接近”之意的(A)proximity为正确答案。
