冬天不想工作:天冷如何保持工作效率

2014-01-17来源:Forbes
Set goals.
设定目标

The wintertime is ideal for focusing on new projects, Russell says. Even if you’re feeling a bit sluggish, set new goals and volunteer for a new assignment that excites you. Your initiative will not only give you a sense of accomplishment and make you more productive, but it may even impress your boss.
冬天非常适合专注于新项目,罗素说。设定一些新的目标,并且主动提出承担一项能够令你感到振奋的新任务,即使你感觉有点动作迟缓。你的积极性将不仅带给你一种成就感,让你更有效率,它甚至还可能会给你的老板留下深刻的印象。

"Spring Clean" during the winter.
在冬季进行“春季大扫除”

“Many people wait until the weather warms up before they do their spring cleaning at home, but you can do it at work when it’s freezing outside,” Teach says.
“很多人会等到天气暖和之后才在家里开始进行春季大扫除,但是你可以在室外寒风凛冽的时候进行办公室大扫除。” 蒂奇说。

Take advantage of the fact that you prefer to be inside at this time of year. Go through your hard copy files and computer files and throw out or delete anything that is no longer useful to you. You will be less overwhelmed and will feel less stressed out if you do.
利用你每年的这个时候都更喜欢呆在室内这个事实。仔细检查你的复印文件和计算机文件,并且扔掉或者删除所有对你而言已经无用的东西。在大扫除的过程中你会感到更加轻松,压力骤减。

Stay healthy.
保持健康的身体

More people get sick during the winter months than the rest of the year with flu, colds, etc., Teach says. “If you miss work due to illness, it only makes it that much harder when you go back and you’re constantly trying to catch up. It hurts your productivity.”
大多数人在冬季的几个月间都比每年的其他时候更加容易生病,容易被流感和感冒等侵袭,蒂奇称。“如果你由于生病而缺勤,那么当你回去工作后只会更加忙碌,并且你得不断努力赶上工作进度。它降低了你的工作效率。”

While it’s sometimes difficult or impossible to not to get sick when everyone else is, do what you can (take vitamins, wash you hands, etc.) to prevent it.
虽然当每个人都生病的时候有时很难或者不可能不生病,但是你可以尽一切可能(服用维生素、洗手等等)来加以预防。

Take breaks.
注意休息

One of the best ways to increase productivity is to schedule planned breaks. A change in routine always nets positive results, especially from the winter doldrums, Morgan says. "A weekend away is renewing and energizing - whether it's boosting your vitamin D with an escape to sunny South Beach, or hitting the slopes in Vermont for some winter fun. If you plan ahead you will save some money."
提高工作效率的最佳途径之一就是制定休息计划。在例行常规中加入点变化总是会带来积极的效果,特别是在冬季的抑郁期间,摩根说,“在周末去旅行总是能够令 人重焕生机,并且精神振奋——无论你是跑去阳光明媚的迈阿密南海滩促进维生素D的生成,还是跑去佛蒙特州滑雪,享受一些冬季的乐趣。如果你提前计划,就可以节省下一些钱。”

Short on time and cash? Plan a personal day to visit museums, have lunch with a friend, enjoy a day of pampering. Breaking your routine will reward you in so many ways, she says.
没有这么多的时间和资金?那就计划一天属于自己的时间吧,你可以参观博物馆,与朋友共进午餐,享受放松的一天。打破你的例行常规将会在很多方面给你带来回报,她说。

Follow weather reports closely.
密切关注天气预报

There’s nothing worse than being late for work because of the weather, Teach says. “If it’s going to rain, sleet, hail, or snow the next day, then leave earlier so that you can arrive to work on time and not be stressed out first thing in the morning." If you're prepared, you'll be more focused and productive when you arrive.
没有什么比由于天气原因而在上班时迟到更糟糕的事情了,蒂奇称。“如果第二天将要下雨、雨夹雪、冰雹或者雪,那么就早点出门,这样你就可以准时到达公司,而不用为早晨的第一件事而慌慌张张。”如果你做了充分准备的话,你到公司的时候注意力就会更加集中,并且工作效率也会更高。

Be social.
多和同事交往

Avoid eating lunch at your desk alone. Ask co-workers to join you in the cafeteria or at a nearby restaurant, Russell says. “Being social helps break your isolation and connect in new ways with others at work.” The happier you are, the more productive you’ll be.
不要在你的办公桌上单独享用午餐。邀请同事和你一起去自助食堂或者附近的餐厅吃饭,罗素说。 “多和同事交往有助于打破你的孤立,并且用新的途径与同事产生联系。”你的快乐指数越高,你的工作效率也就会越高。
