Our days fill up so fast, and are so rushed and filled with distractions, that they seem to be bursting. Its a huge source of stress for most people, and stress is perhaps the most important factor determining whether were healthy or sick. 现代生活节奏快速，到处充斥着各类信息，仿佛一触即发。这给许多人造成压力，而压力又是影响人体健康的关键因素。 So how can we simplify our days? Its not incredibly hard, but Ive found its best done in steps. 那么，我们该怎样简单生活呢?其实并没有想象的那么难，只不过需要我们一步一步去做罢了。 These are the steps I followed, though of course calling them rules means we should test them and break them as needed. No rules should be followed blindly. Ive found these to work really well, though. These are the rules I suggest: 下面是我采用的几条规则。当然，既称为规则，就表示它们有待检验并作必要修正;毕竟人不可盲从规则。不过，我觉得这些规则还挺管用。以下是我建议的规则： 1. Know Whats Important. 明确重点。 The simple version of simplifying is Identify whats important, and eliminate the rest. So take time to identify the most important things in your life (4-5 things), and then see what activities, tasks, projects, meeting and commitments fit in with that list. Also take time each day to identify 1-3 Most Important Tasks (MITs), at the beginning of your day. Or the night before, for the next day. |
