会改变你生活的9个日常小习惯
喝水
Having a glass of water first thing in the morning helps rid your body of toxins that have been stored overnight. Not only does it aid your digestive tract, it also boosts your metabolism, helping you feel energized sooner.
早晨起来空腹喝水能帮助身体排出一夜的毒素。不仅能促进你的消化机制,还能促进新陈代谢,帮助你很快充满能量。
6. Singletask
单一任务处理
Only 2% of the world’s population can successfully multitask. The rest of us posers are serial-tasking: flitting from one task to another, nudging ourselves forward with each instead of focusing on one at a time. I broke this habit by choosing one item on my to-do list, then hiding it in a drawer until I was done. It’s a tough habit to break, but once you do your mind feels clearer, you feel less restless, and the quality of your work skyrockets across the board.
全世界只有2%的人有多项任务成功完成的能力,剩下的我们在遇到多重任务时都会从一个任务跳转到另一个任务,无法一次聚焦一个任务,导致对每个都关注不多。我靠着在列表清单里选出了一个任务,直到完成之前把其余的全部锁在抽屉,这样才慢慢改变了习惯。这个习惯真的非常难改变,一旦你做了就会发现思绪变清晰了,不会再那么焦虑了,工作质量也会突飞猛进。
7. Go Minimal
从小事着手
External clutter leads to mental clutter. Do a clean sweep of your home and get rid of everything you no longer use or have never used. By the end of my own clean sweep last year, it looked like I’d been robbed! There’s no better feeling than knowing you actually need and use everything you’re surrounded by. Bonus: you also save time by not having as much to clean!
外界的混乱会带来内心的混乱。好好整理屋子,扔掉那些你不会再用或是从来没有用过的东西吧。去年我那次打扫屋子到了最后,感觉自己被洗劫了一番!那种知道自己周围真正需要和利用什么的感觉超棒!好处:这能大大节省时间,谁让你没有那么多时间一直打扫卫生呢。
8. Set Online Boundaries
设置上网限制
It’s too easy to get sucked into an online world of status updates, list posts, and videos. Before you know it, over half your day is gone and you have nothing to show for it. This is especially difficult for those of us who work on the Internet. One of the best daily habits I’ve established is not checking my e-mail or social media accounts first thing in the morning.
网上的世界充满了状态更新、列表宣传和视频,稍一不慎就会沉迷其中。当你意识到这点时,大半天已经过去,你仍然无所事事中。这对于那些从事互联网工作的人们来说更加困难。最好的日常习惯就是早晨起床不要最先查看邮件或社交账号。
Create specific windows of time for your online tasks. It’s okay to check your e-mail periodically in case you receive urgent requests from your boss or co-workers, but if you check and there aren’t any, abort and get back to your day.
设立个单独的时间来专门处理网上的任务。时不时的查看邮件当然可以,以防会有老板或同事发来的紧急需求,但一旦查看之后发现没有就赶紧回到日常生活中来吧。
9. Create an Evening Routine
创造一个夜晚模式
Your evening routine is just as important as your morning routine, as it prepares your body for a solid night’s sleep. Create a relaxing routine that starts about an hour before you go to bed, and use it as your body’s “signal” that it’s time to go to sleep.
和清晨模式一样,夜晚模式也相当重要,这可是让身体睡个好觉的时间。可以睡前一小时开始一些轻松地事情,把这个当成对自己身体的“信号”告诉自己该睡觉啦。
