时间与效率：管理你的生活 挤出更多时间

There are also parts of our life that you might have to do right now but aren’t always the best use of your time. For example you might spend an hour or two commuting to and from work. That’s time that you’re losing every single day of your life and you’ll never get it back.
我们的生活中还有一些事情你现在也许不得不做，但并没有让这些时间得到最佳利用。比如说你也许要花一两个小时上下班。这些时间你每天都在失去，而且永远不会再回来。

You might look at how you can get a job closer to home or tele-commute a few days a week. Since my commute is 7 steps from the bedroom to the office (yes I just counted), it saves me a ton of time every day that I’d otherwise lose. Again it’s your life and completely up to you which choices you make – just be aware that there are always choices available.
你也许可以考虑找一个离家近一些的工作，或者一周来回几天。因为我从卧室到办公室的距离只有7步 （是的，我刚刚数过），所以每天我节约了大量可能失去的时间。再重申一次，生活是你自己的，你做出何种选择完全取决于你——只要知道总有一些选择可供你考虑。

Other things might include dropping off and picking up children when you could take turns with other parents. Perhaps you jump on Facebook or turn on the TV and it’s time for bed before you know it. Limiting yourself in these areas can reveal a whole bunch of wasted productive time.
还有一些事情，也许包括接送孩子，你可以和其他家长轮流来。也许你登陆Facebook或者打开了电视，而此时已经该睡觉了。控制在这些方面花费的时间，你会发现大量被浪费的有效时间。
