精简生活：10招教你战胜繁复杂乱

Is your daily routine cluttered? That is, is there an easier way to do something in your daily routine or is there actual physical clutter that hinders or blocks you from actually physically doing something? Maybe there’s a simpler or easier way to get to work instead of your normal route?

Take a minute or two to think about what tiny changes you could make in your daily routine to make things a little bit easier for yourself.

7. Give your computer a cleanse
清理电脑

Clutter can appear in many different forms on your computer. Consider clearing out files from your desktop screen (file items or delete them), cleaning out or emptying your computer’s trash or recycle bin, defragmenting your drive, or getting rid of applications and programs you no longer use. Finish things off by wiping down your computer’s screen and keyboard with an appropriate computer cleansing solution and cloth to clear off dirt and germs.
电脑会产生各种各样垃圾。请处理掉（存档或删除）桌面屏幕上的文件，清空回收站，整理磁盘碎片，并删掉不再使用的应用程序。最后用清洁液清理干净电脑屏幕和键盘上的污垢和细菌。

8. Reassess your commitments to friends, family and coworkers
重审对亲友及同事的承诺

Overpromising your time is one way to clutter up your schedule. If you can’t truly commit to appointments, you are creating unnecessary havoc in your calendar and chaos in your life. Clear out mental clutter by removing yourself from commitments, appointments and meetings you know you can’t possibly keep. Take care to be more conscious in future as to how you offer your time and energy to friends, family and coworkers. Remember, a cluttered and chaotic mind helps no one!
过分承诺自己的时间也会引起日程庞杂混乱。如果你无法切实兑现约定，就会给自己的日程和生活造成不必要的干扰与不便。请取消无法践行的承诺及约定，清空内心的繁杂无绪吧。以后在向亲友及同事作出承诺时请多加注意。要知道，混乱无绪的状态百害无一利！

9. Overhaul your information intake systems.
反思接纳信息的方式

Pop-quiz: how many RSS feeds do you follow? What about all of your email and magazine subscriptions? How many people, businesses and organizations do you follow on social media? Chances are you probably have lots of information coming at you from different angles over the course of a single day. Unsubscribe from RSS feeds you haven’t touched in weeks, email subscriptions you don’t read and be choosy about who you follow, friend and like on social media channels.
突击测验：你有多少RSS订阅？邮件和杂志的呢？你在社交媒体上关注了多少个人、团体或机构？如此，一天内你可能会从不同渠道收到无数条信息。请取消数周没去查看的RSS订阅和邮件，慎重选择你在社交媒体上关注的对象吧。

10. Declutter your car
清理爱车

Your car is a busy place: you bring things in and out of it, leave things in it…basically stuff tends to pile up over time. Grab a trash bag and a small box and head over to your car. Be sure to get to clear out these areas: the glove compartment, trunk, driver side console, front passenger console and the backseat. Trash any junk and clutter you find. Use the small box to collect and transport items you need to bring into the house or office.
你的爱车是个很热闹的地方：东西带进带出又落下……而且常常丢在那里很久很久。带上垃圾袋和小盒子爬进车里，一定要清理干净杂物格、后备箱、驾座前台、前座前台及后座等位置。清理干净你能看到的所有杂物。至于那些需要带回家或办公室的物品，那就收进小盒子里吧。
