6招解救在超负荷运转的你

Do you constantly say that you have too much to do and too little time? This seems to be a common sentiment in today's world. Everyone has too much on their list and too many obligations to keep up with.
 

你总是说要做的事太多，但时间太少？ 这似乎是当今这个世界每个人的同感。每个人要做的事很多，要履行的义务也很多。

Have you stopped to consider why your load is so big? How did you end up under so many obligations in the first place? What is all of this weight holding you back? 

你有没有停下来想过为什么你有这么多的负担呢？要从这么多的责任中解脱出来，首先你要怎么做？ 在这些负担里是什么阻碍了你？

A better question may be…where did all this weight come from? If you are truly overloaded, how did you get there? Over time you have taken on more than you can handle. It did not happen instantly or overnight. 

一个更好的问题或许是……这一切的负担都是从何而来？如果你真的是承载得太多，你如何克服？每一次你接收的都多于你能处理的，它不是一时或一夜之间发生的。

Often, this is self-inflicted time management. You have been practicing habits and behaviors that have lead to this situation. You have been creating your own stress and life friction. How can we limit this load that prevents us from being productive and enjoying our day?

通常这都是因为你的时间管理造成的。你已经熟悉了的习惯和行为导致了目前的状况。你自己造成了给自己的压力和生活摩擦。我们怎样才能限制这种阻碍我们积极工作享受生活的负荷呢？

There are many habits that can lead to task overload. Here are six behaviors to help avoid personal overload:

许多习惯会导致超负荷。这里的六种行为可以帮助避免自己超负荷：

 1. Be Organized Enough to Know Your Load 

1.有序组织，明了工作量

This is an important first step. Do you even know how much you are carrying? When people say, "I have too much to do, "I immediately ask to see their todo list and project board. Ironically, many of them do not have a single organized view of what they need to do. Multiple lists and scattered papers present a jumbled perspective. If you don't know how much is on your plate, how can you hope to efficiently get it done?

这是重要的第一步。你知道你承载了多少吗？当人们说，“我有太多事情要做，” 我立即要求看一看他们的代办事项清单。很讽刺的是，他们中的许多人都没有条理性地组织好他们需要做些什么。多重清单和凌乱的纸条呈现的是乱七八糟的观念。如果你不知道你有多少，你怎么能希望有效地完成它呢？

2. Just Say No

2.要会拒绝

Are you unable to tell others no? Do you constantly accept tasks and obligations from others? This can be a leading source of the extra weight that holds you back."Can you do this for me?""Can you help me with that?" Sometimes, the right answer is"No."

你不会拒绝别人？你总是接受别人给的任务和义务？这可能是产生阻碍你前进的额外负荷的一个主要来源。“你能帮我个忙吗？” “帮我一下？” 有时候，正确的回答是“No”。

3. Finish to Done

3.做事要彻底

Another reason your load may be too big is that you do not ever fully complete things. Starting tasks is easy, but finishing them is hard. You start many tasks, but do not see them to completion. A few items completed is always more effective than many things begun.

负荷太沉重的另一个原因是你从来没有彻底地做完一件事。开始很容易，但是要完成是很困难的。你着手很多任务，但没有完成过。完成几项比着手很多项总是更为有效。
