2012-08-27来源:CNN

Turn-off tricks
关机策略

Mobile devices mean that it is easy for work to follow you home and for work-related emails to be the last thing you read at night and the first thing you check in the morning. Perhaps as much a general life improvement as an office life improvement, "turn off" tricks hailed by career development authors have a holistic value. Breaks from relentless work, especially short bursts of exercise coupled with "zoning out" make actual work more productive.
移动设备意味着你会很容易将工作也带到家中,并且与工作有关的邮件会成为你晚上临睡前和早上一睁眼就要查看的东西。或许日常生活上的改进就跟办公室生活的改进一样,被职业发展作家们所推崇的“关机”策略有着全面的价值。从没完没了的工作中暂时休息一下,尤其是短时间的锻炼加上“走神”真的会让你的工作更富有效率。

Be happy
保持心情愉快

A tricky one this, but whatever being happy means to you, it will undoubtedly help you in your professional life as well as personal endeavors. Some might see it as a transient emotion rather than a fixed state of being, but for all, it is attainable. Shawn Anchor spent 12 years researching happiness at Harvard and concluded that happiness is "a choice". He states that a decade of study shows that "happiness raises nearly every business and education outcome: raising sales by 37 percent, productivity by 31% and accuracy on tasks by 19%."
这是挺难做到的一点,但是不论对你来说快乐意味着什么,它都无疑会在你的职场生活和个人努力中有所帮助。有些人或许将其视作一时的情绪而非固定的状态,但是其实对所有人来说,这都是可以实现的。肖恩·安可花了12年的时间在哈佛研究快乐,他得出的结论是:快乐是“一种选择”。他的10年研究成果表明:“快乐几乎能为所有生意上和教育上的事带来更好的结果:提高37%的销量、31%的生产力以及19%的工作准确度。”
