只剩30天：年底前必须完成的3件事

There are only 30 days left in 2013. And while I love the fresh beginning of a new year, as you head into the next couple months, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the resolutions you want to make for next year, rather than focusing on finishing this year strong.
距离2013年结束，只剩下30天了。和你们一样，我也很喜欢未来的几个月里，迎接全新一年的劲头。我们很容易一下子就跳到新年许愿的频道，而忽略了今年年底该专注完成的事儿。

You see, I don’t want you to wake up on January 1 thinking you should have—and could have—done something better last year. You’ve still got time! Whether it’s a big project you want to attack or a small habit you want to change, you can go into the new year feeling triumphant.
喏，我可不想你在明年1月1号早上醒来，思考那些你本该在今年做得更好的事儿。嘿，我说，你现在还有时间呀。不管是要完成一个大工程，还是想改掉一个小习惯，你都可以做点儿什么。然后新年时就会有满满的成就感啦。

And so, since I’m all for making progress by achieving small wins, here are three common challenges you can master before the end of the year: one thing for today, one for next week, and one before year end. Then, when the new year rolls around, you’ll be way ahead of the game—and ready to tackle a new set of resolutions.
我这里讲到的都是在一些小事儿中迈出一步。年底之前，你需要攻克的三大挑战是：一个是要在今天完成的，一个是要在下周完成的，还有一个是在年底完成的。这样，当新年的钟声响起，你就可以优哉游哉地准备开始接手新的任务啦。
