周末有60个小时 如何最大化利用?
警惕周日综合症。
Even if you like your job, it’s easy to feel weary by Sunday afternoon as you think about the next morning’s commute. One way around that? Schedule something fun for Sunday night. Knowing you’ve got a potluck dinner or a massage session coming up extends the weekend by keeping your mind focused on the fun to come.
就算你喜欢工作,周日下午一想到第二天得上班难免也会感到厌烦。那怎么办?周日晚上做点有趣的事情,多想想晚上的家常便饭或舒心按摩,想到周末仍在延续,心情自然会好起来。
7. Do make the most of other people’s schedules.
融通他人周末计划。
Read a novel instead of checking your email while waiting to pick up your 8-year-old at swim practice. If your spouse has a time-consuming hobby--like one that requires you to supply sports drinks at the 10-mile mark on her long run--make sure to combine it with something fun for you (catching a movie at a nearby theater?).
8岁儿子有游泳课?与其查收邮件,不如在等儿子时阅读小说;如果伴侣的爱好比较耗时间,比如需要你给远在10英里外跑步的她送饮料,你可以顺便给自己找点乐子,就近看场电影等等。
8. Don’t do too many chores.
别被家务缠身。
Chores expand to fill the available space. If you do them on weekdays, you’ll spend less time doing chores simply because you have less time. Better to spend your weekends checking out a new neighborhood cafe than chained to the washing machine.
家务放在边角时间做吧,工作日的时候也可以分担一点,这样周末就不用花太多时间忙家务了。周末大好时光,与其守着洗衣机,不如跟新邻居喝杯咖啡呢!
9. Do spend some time planning your week.
花点时间制定下周计划。
On Sunday night, or some other quiet time, glance at your calendar, and set goals for what you’d like to accomplish in your professional and personal life over the next 168 hours. Schedule these high-value activities in. Once Monday morning hits, you’re in a firefight. So figure out how you’ll advance your troops, rather than just hunkering down.
周日晚上或其他安静的时候,你需要翻开日历,为下周设定一些工作或生活目标,计划一些有意义的活动,然后一到周一立刻全身心投入。不要只躺在舒适区,赶紧考虑一下个人发展问题吧。
10. Don’t work every minute.
切忌分秒必争地工作。
Sure, successful people work a bit on weekends, but they know that weekends are mostly about giving the brain a break. Even if you’re not religious, challenge yourself to keep a Sabbath of sorts: one 24-hour period where you don’t do any of your usual work. You may find yourself so relaxed you’ll look forward to Monday.
当然,成功的人周末也会工作,不过他们也懂得周末最重要的是让大脑休息。就算你不信教,也可以腾出“安息日”之类的时间:在这段时间,绝对不碰与工作有关的任何事情。这样做以后,你会发现自己完全得到了放松,甚至有点期待周一的到来呢!
