弗朗西斯·培根《随笔》· Essays · 领导 · 财富 · 成长 · 行动
Above all things, order, and distribution, and singling out of parts, is the life of dispatch; so as the distribution be not too subtle: for he that doth not divide, will never enter well into business; and he that divideth too much, will never come out of it clearly. To choose time, is to save time; and an unseasonable motion, is but beating the air. There be three parts of business; the preparation, the debate or examination, and the perfection. Whereof, if you look for dispatch, let the middle only be the work of many, and the first and last the work of few. The proceeding upon somewhat conceived in writing, doth for the most part facilitate dispatch: for though it should be wholly rejected, yet that negative is more pregnant of direction, than an indefinite; as ashes are more generative than dust.

白话
最重要的是，秩序、分配和分清部分，是迅速办事的生命，但分配别太细。不划分就进不去事，划分太细就出不来。选择时机就是节省时间，不合时宜的举动只是打空气。事务分三部分：准备、讨论或审查、完成。要迅速，中间部分让多人做，首尾让少数人做。把想法先写下来推进，大多能加快速度；即使被全盘否定，否定也比悬而不决更有指导性，就像灰烬比尘土更能孕育。
上下文
培根《随笔》论迅速，总结提高效率的方法：分权、择时、书面推进。
