用时间块说清今天先做什么
How should we organise the writing time? Explain your reasons and next step.
周五早上数据已齐。你计划九点到十点写报告、十点到十点半核查，之后还有客户会议。邮件一直弹出，需要说明何时处理邮件和何时可以找你。
1 · 先听见真实对话
Colleague: How should we organise the writing time?
You: We should protect a time block from nine to ten.
Colleague: Why protect this time block?
You: This reduces interruptions so we can finish a complete draft.
Colleague: How should we keep the plan realistic?
You: We should keep buffer time after the review and check progress before the deadline.
2 · 理解表达在这里做了什么
time block
set aside a period for one task
I will use a one-hour time block for the report.
time block 是安排一段时间，不保证一定能完成；仍要结合任务大小和实际进展调整。deadline
the latest time something must be finished
The deadline is three on Friday.
deadline 是最晚完成时间，不是开始时间；by Friday 表示不晚于周五。buffer time
keep some extra time for delays
I will allow twenty minutes of buffer time for checking.
buffer time 用于吸收不确定性，不等于必须拖到最后，也不代表可以忽略真正的截止时间。3 · 跟读后，换成自己的信息
We should protect a time block from nine to ten.
安排：明确这一个小时用于报告。
This reduces interruptions so we can finish a complete draft.
作用：减少打断，以完成连贯初稿。
We should keep buffer time after the review and check progress before the deadline.
落实：核查后仍留缓冲，交付前确认进度。
We should tell colleagues when routine messages will be answered.
沟通：让同事知道普通消息何时处理。
保留沟通意图，换掉人物、文件或时间。简单而准确的句子同样有效。

5 · 换一个情境，再试一次
What if an urgent message arrives?
What if an urgent message arrives?
Address the changed condition. Choose a practical next step and explain why it helps.
- My response addresses the changed condition.
- I explain one practical action and its likely effect.
- I make the next step clear.
6 · 明天不看答案，再想一次
What will you focus on until ten?
