And that brings me to the last thing you can do when you're reviewing your time audit: schedule buffer time.

这让我想到了在审查时间审计时可以做的最后一件事：安排缓冲时间。

When we're talking about time management, buffer time provides some protection before and after your tasks, it gives you some space if you need it.

当我们谈论时间管理时，缓冲时间在您的任务之前和之后提供一些保护，如果您需要的话， 它会给您一些空间。

That right buffer time can also be helpful when you're switching gears, when you need to mentally switch focus from one top priority to another.

当你需要转换思路，将注意力从一个首要任务转移到另一个首要任务时，适当的缓冲时间也会很有帮助。

Or if you want to take a mental break, if you want to give yourself time to step away from the desk, again, you have those 15 minutes of buffer time before your next appointment or scheduled time block.

或者， 如果你想要让大脑稍微休息一下，如果你想要让自己有时间离开办公桌，那么在下一个约会或预定的时间段之前， 你还有 15 分钟的缓冲时间。

Instead of scheduling a meeting right at nine o'clock, which means you have the potential of being late to the meeting or feeling rushed, scheduling some buffer time of 10 to 15 minutes gives you time to protect your schedule.

不要把会议安排在九点整，因为这意味着你可能会迟到或者感到匆忙，所以安排 10 到 15 分钟的缓冲时间可以让你有足够的时间来保护你的日程安排。

We talked about scheduling buffer time, and you can schedule time to recharge your batteries, 15 minutes to do a little bit of stretching, enjoying a cup of tea, taking a walk or sneaking in a few pages of your favorite book.

我们谈到了安排缓冲时间，你可以安排时间给你的电池充电，15分钟做一点伸展运动，喝杯茶， 散步或偷偷看几页你最喜欢的书。
