时间挤挤就会有:如何为更重要的事情挤时间
There are many important things in life. Your family and friends. A hobby perhaps. Working out and staying healthy.Reading, learning and growing as person.
人生中有许多重要的事情等着我们去做。比如说你的家人和朋友,或是一个兴趣。努力工作,保持健康。阅读、学习、成长。
But finding the time for what is most important in life is not always easy. It sometimes feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day.
但是为了人生中那些最重要的事情腾出时间并不总是那么容易。有时候我们总是会觉得时间不够。
But even if it may not feel like it, there are often ways to improve how you use your time. In this article I’ll share some of the most effective strategies I have found for doing so and for shaking yourself out of a rut and reconsider how you actually spend your time.
虽然有些人并不觉得如此,但总是有一些办法能够改善你利用时间的方式的。在本文中我会分享一些我曾经试过的最有效的方法,能够帮助你打破桎梏,重新思考你应该如何利用你的时间。
Focus.
专注。
With a lack of focus on what is most important in your life it becomes easy to spend too much time and energy on aimless actions or work. On things that aren’t really that important but you do out of old habit or other unhelpful reasons.
如果你对你人生中最重要的那些东西缺乏专注,你就很容易花太多时间和精力在那些漫无目的的行为和工作上。这些事情并没有那么重要,你只是因为旧习惯或是其他错误的原因而去做它们。
To become more focused:
尝试下面的方法让自己更加专注:
Write down your top 4 priorities where you see them every day. To keep your attention in the right place it is essential to remind yourself every day of what is truly most important to you. So think about it and reduce what is important in your life at this moment to the top 4 most important priorities. Write those four things down on two notes and post one in your workspace and one your night table.
把你最想做的4件事情写下来,放在你每天都能看到的地方。为了让你的注意力保持在正确的地方,你必须每天都提醒自己什么是对你真正重要的事情。所以,好好想一想,把你认为最重要的事情缩小到4件,然后把这4件事情写在两张便签上,一张贴在你工作的地方,一张贴在你的床头柜里。
Reduce distractions. Ask yourself: what are the 3 most common distractions that keep me from doing my work in a focused way? Figure out how you can prevent those things from distracting you. It could be by shutting the door to your office, by putting your phone on silent mode for an hour at a time or by having notifications for email shut off.
减少分心。问问自己:当你专心工作的时候,哪三点是你最大的困扰因素?想一想你能怎样避免这些事情让你分心。比如关上你办公室的门,把手机调成一个小时的静音,或是关掉email的通知等等。
Find balance. If you just work and work you will quickly become unfocused and the longer the week drags on the more tired you become. To work smarter try using a timer – on your cell phone or use an egg-timer – and set it for 45 minutes. Then put in a drawer or somewhere where you can’t see it. During those 45 minutes dive in and immerse yourself in the no-distraction zone and your work until the clock rings. Then set you timer for a 15 minute break where you get away from your work space if possible. Take a walk, go for a snack or have a conversation about something else than work.
劳逸结合。如果只是一味的工作,你很快就会注意力不集中。随着日子一天天过,你也会觉得越来越累。你可以用一个更聪明的方式——在手机或是闹钟上设个闹铃——把它设定为45分钟。然后把它放在抽屉里或是某个你看不到的地方。在这45分钟里,让自己进入无干扰环境中,尽可能地专注于你的工作,直到闹铃响了为止。然后再设置一个15分钟休息的闹铃,你可以在这段时间尽可能地休息休息。出去走走、吃点小点心,或是和别人聊聊天。
