Time For Yourself…And What’s Important 你自己的时间…什么是最重要的 “Time is a natural resource – like fuel. When it is abundant, we take it for granted; when it becomes scarce, we search for that extra gallon, regardless of cost. Wouldn’t you give anything for another gallon of time with some of your friends who are gone? Time is a precious gift — every second, every minute, every day — use it wisely. You cannot pay the cost of losing time.”
— Sonny Gann “时间是自然资源-就像燃料一样。当燃料很丰盛的时候,我们用之似乎是理所当然的;当变得稀少的时候,我们为了每一加仑额外的燃料而四处寻找。你能给你最喜欢的朋友额外的时间吗?时间是最宝贵的礼物-每一秒、每一分钟-好好的用好自己的时间。你永远也买不到时间。” — Sonny Gann 162 Get your rest! The more rested you are, the more you can accomplish in a shorter period. If you’re tired, you’re usually slower, rework more and end up even more exhausted. Take care of yourself!
好好休息!你休息的越好,你在短时间内可以完成的就越多!如果你累了,你通常会很慢,返工的越多和完成的越筋疲力尽。照顾好你自己! 163 Become a champion at minimizing the work you take home for the weekend. Leave enough time to recharge your battery. 把自己变成在周末把工作带回家最少的人。留下足够的时间来为自己充电。 164 Go to lunch at 11:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. to save time both in the line and the time that it takes to get your food. Going to lunch at noon will conservatively cost you at least 15 minutes a day…and the tip’s the same. Think that is a good deal? 在上午11点或者下午1点去吃饭,这样可以节约等待的时间和拿到食物的时间。在中午吃饭会花掉你15分钟时间-诀窍是一样的。觉得这是一个好办法吗? 165 Use a home delivery grocery service. Unless you really enjoy the sights, sounds, and lines at the grocery store, let someone else spend their time for you. Most of the services are free of charge. 使用杂货店的家庭送货服务。除非你确实很喜欢杂货店所看到的、听到的和排的队伍。让别人为了你而花掉他们的时间。大多数的服务都是免费的。 166 Start your morning the night before! Lay out your clothes the night before, including knowing where you left your shoes (this is important!). Put items needed for work the next day in your car the night before. 在夜晚来临之前就先开始准备好你的早晨。在晚上之前准备好你的衣服,包括知道你的鞋子被放在了哪里(这是很重要的!)。同样在夜晚来临之前把你第二天工作所需要的东西都放在汽车里。 167 Fill up your car on the way home from work. Don’t waste your prime morning time at the pump. 在你从公司回家的路上就加满油。不要把宝贵的早晨浪费在油泵边上。 168 Buy your postage electronically. Does anyone really enjoy standing in line at the post office? 在线买邮票。确实有人喜欢在邮电局排队吗?
