(CNN) — With the world working on a 24/7 clock, the excuse to switch off for those hours spent traveling on a plane for business has gone. In fact, it’s become the best time to catch up.
As my creative agency Beautiful Destinations grew, the amount of time I spent abroad rapidly increased, which meant opportunities to stop my inbox from exploding and keep projects progressing decreased.
Once you’re in the thick of meetings, the best way to maintain productivity is preparation and keeping to a normal routine.
Here are eight tips to help maximize productivity while your travel.
當世界全年無休的在運作的時候上，搭飛機出差的的那幾個小時已經不能是無法工作的藉口了。實際上，這是加緊腳步的最佳時機。
隨著我的創意代理公司《美麗的目的地》的發展，我花在國外的時間迅速增加，這意味著阻止我的收件箱爆炸並讓計畫的進度降低了。
一旦參加了很多會議，保持生產力的最佳方法就是準備並保持正常的日常活動。
以下是八個秘訣，幫助您在旅途中發揮最大效能。
1. Make plans
Create a robust plan of events and meetings ahead of your trip so it’s clear where there are gaps in your diary that can be used productively for important phone calls, additional meetings or writing content. When you are in a different time zone you may need to factor in either early or late calls with the office too.
Confirm accommodation for each night that you’re away and ensure your transport is organized in advance to avoid having to spend time looking for hotel and ticket availability during your trip. This will also reduce stress levels so you can spend more time calmly focusing on the work in hand.
1. 做計畫
在旅行前，製定一個完整的活動和會議計劃，以便清楚地知道日記中哪裡有空白可用於重要的電話，其他會議或撰寫內容。當您在其他時區時，您可能也需要考慮與辦公室早或是晚通話。
提前確認您出差時每天晚上的住宿還有確保交通安排，以避免在旅途中花費時間尋找酒店和機票。這還能降低壓力水平，您就可以花更多的時間從容地專注於手頭的工作。
2. Maintain a healthy routine
2. 維持健康的生活作息
3. Get plenty of sleep
3. 多睡覺
4. Allow yourself downtime
Make time to explore the destination you’re in and immerse yourself in the local culture. As well as providing you with new experiences, it will stimulate creativity and may even spark new ideas which you can apply to something you’re working on. When I’m on the road, as well as taking photos, I’m always on the lookout for video opportunities to post on Beautiful Destinations.
4. 讓自己有停止工作期
花時間探索您所處的目的地，並融入當地文化。除了為您提供新的體驗外，它還將激發創造力，甚至激發出新的想法，您可以將這些想法應用到您正在從事的工作中。在旅途中以及拍照時，我總是在尋找在《美麗的目的地》上發布視頻的機會。
5. Make the most of spontaneous networking opportunities
I’m always looking for new ways to expand my network, both on social media and in person. Being on the road is an opportune time to meet new people from different walks of life.
Whether you’re at the airport, in your hotel or exploring the destinations, take time to network and strike up conversations with people you meet along the way. It may be that they can benefit you professionally if they work in a similar field and can offer a fresh perspective on something you’re working on.
5. 充分利用自發的交流機會
我一直在尋找新的方式來擴展我的網絡，無論是在社交媒體上還是面對面。在路上是結識來自各行各業的新朋友的好時機。
無論您是在機場，酒店還是在探索目的地，都要花點時間與人交流，並與沿途遇到的人進行對話。如果他們在類似的領域工作，可能會為您帶來專業上的好處，並且可以為您正在從事的工作提供新的視角。
6. Stay updated with the latest news and trends
6. 隨時了解最新消息和趨勢
7. Listen to podcasts
If your journey requires a lot of driving, inevitably you will not have the opportunity to get much work done. You can take this time to listen to educational or inspirational podcasts such as TED Talks Daily. Hearing the insights of others based on experiences in their personal or professional lives can be invaluable as well as emotionally stimulating when you’re on the road.
7. 聽播客
如果您的旅途需要大量的駕駛，則不可避免地您將沒有機會完成很多工作。您可以抽出時間收聽教育演講或啟發性播客，例如TED Talks Daily。在旅途中，根據他人的個人或專業生活中的經驗來聆聽他人的見解不僅非常有價值，而且可以激發他們的情感。
8. Delegate
This is the most important one that I follow. When you start a company, it’s hard to give up the reins but through delegation you will tick off those tasks on your to do list.
