计划从今天开始：13招让明天更轻松

7. During your day regularly ask yourself questions for simplicity and focus.
每天都问自己几个问题来整理思绪和集中注意力

It is easy to get off track during a regular workday. To stay on track or to get back there if you get lost use questions like:
平常工作日很容易迷失方向。要想一直保持进度，在迷茫的时候问自己几个问题吧：

- What is the most important thing I can do right now?
我现在可以做的最重要的事情是什么？

- What would I work on if I only had 2 hours for work today?
如果我今天只有两小时工作，那我可以干什么？

- Is doing this bringing me closer to my goal?
我现在做的事情让我离目标更进一步了么?

- Am I keeping things extremely simple right now?
我现在把事情最简单化处理了么？

8. Let your lunch time be a time of relaxing.
让午餐时间成为完全的放松

Eat slowly. Put down the fork between bites to make that easier. Eat mindfully and savour each bite. Eating your lunch this way can help you to relax and to release quite a bit of stress in the middle of your workday. Plus, it can help you to not overeat because it takes your brain 20 minutes to register that you are full. By slowing down your eating your brain can stop you before you eat too much.
吃慢点。咀嚼每一口的时候都把叉子放下，这样会简单很多。集中注意力去吃饭，享受每一口食物。这样能帮你放松下来，减轻不少工作中的压力。另外还会有效抑制你多吃，因为大脑需要20分钟的时间来鉴别到底吃没吃饱。吃慢点，大脑也能让你不要吃得过多。

9. Spend 80% of your time focusing on a solution.
花80%的时间来集中找到解决方案

And only 20% of your time on dwelling on your issue, challenge or problem. Instead of doing it the other way around. This makes it easier to live a lighter and more action-filled life and to not fall down into a pit of self-pity or getting stuck in a mental habit of perceived powerlessness.
剩下20%的时间来处理事情，挑战和难题。而不是反过来哦。这能让你生活的更加轻松，生活富于行动力，也不至于总是陷入自责或者被那些无力的精神习惯死死捆绑住。

10. Ask for help.
寻求帮助

You don’t have to always do it alone. You can ask for help. You may not always get it but you may also be surprised at how helpful and kind people can be in helping you ease your burdens and solve a challenge. Just don’t forget to do the same for them as best you can when they ask.
你不用一直都孤军奋战。你可以寻求帮助。你也许不会每次都能获得帮助，但你会惊讶人们可以多么有力和友好的帮你减轻负担解决挑战。也不要忘记在别人需要时施以援手。

11. When overwhelmed, breathe and then say to yourself: just take care of today.
当无力应付时，深呼吸对自己说，先过好今天再说。

Focus only on that. Forget about all those tomorrows and your yesterdays. Go small, narrow your focus greatly and just take care of today. Then take care of tomorrow when it comes.
只关注今天，先别管明天和昨天的事情。从小事入手，大大缩减你的注意力，只顾好今天就可以了。明天的事，到时候再说吧。

12. Consciously set and maintain firm boundaries between your work and personal time.
在工作和个人生活中设定明确的界限

Have a set stop time for your daily work (mine is 7 o'clock). Do not work on weekends. Consciously manage your boundaries and you’ll have less stress and more energy and focus both to do better work and to have a personal life of higher quality.
设定一个时间作为工作的结束（我是晚上七点），然后不要在周末工作。有意识的设定界限能减轻压力病获得更多的能量，既能干好工作又能享受到高质量的个人生活。

13. Be smart about the 3 fundamentals of energy.
善用能量的三大基础

By that I mean getting enough sleep, exercising a couple of times a week and eating healthy. This may seem very obvious in theory. But in practice it makes a world of difference for your optimism, energy levels, ability to handle stress and to think clearly.
我指的就是有充足的睡眠、一周运动几次和吃得健康。也许你觉得这只是理论上可行，但实际上会对你的积极态度、能量水平、应对压力的能力以及思考模式都产生很重要的影响。
