1. The first step to controlling your weekends is making conscious choices. 第一步是为自己的周末做个理智的选择 It's so easy to plop down on the couch on a Friday night or Saturday morning and watch TV, but falling into these routines will suck away the few free hours you have. Instead of doing something by default, choose to decide how your time is spent. 周五晚上或周六早上靠着沙发看电视最爽啦，但如果这样过周末可真是浪费了你仅有的闲暇时光呢。与其就这样默认地过周末，不如好好想想怎么利用好周末时间吧。 In her book, "What The Most Successful People Do On The Weekend," time management expert Laura Vanderkam writes, "In a world of constant connectivity, even loafing time must be consciously chosen, because time will be filled with something whether it’s consciously chosen or not — and not choosing means that the something that fills our hours will be less fulfilling than the something our remembering selves will likely wish we’d elected to do." 时间管理专家劳拉·凡德卡姆在著作《最成功的人周末做些什么》一书中写道：“在这个被即时通讯充斥的世界，即使是空闲时间也需要谨慎选择，因为一些事总会莫名占用时间——如果不理智选择，就意味着你的时间将会虚度，而非花在实现心中目标之上。” 2.
