At a workshop I attended last weekend, the facilitator jokingly mentioned that he’s more of a night owl and his energy doesn’t generally kick in until about 2:00 in the afternoon. I laughed, thinking that my list of accomplishments post 2 p.m. is about HALF of what I get done in the morning and early afternoon hours. 笔者上周末参加了一个研讨会,当时讲师打趣地提到了他本人更倾向于夜猫子模式,并且他的精力只有在午后2点才能充分发挥出来。当时我就笑了,然后想象自己在午后2点的成功史,就是我已经在早上或午后较前的时间完成了半数的任务。 Then I thought... “When did THAT happen?” In years past, you couldn’t talk to me before 10:00 in the morning, much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends? Forget it. If the time had “a.m.” attached to the end of it, you’d better believe I was face-down in a pillow. 然后我就开始思考……“那是怎么办到的?”在过去的几年里,在早上10点前别人是无法跟我交谈的,更不要期待我完成了什么任务。那么周末呢?算了吧。如果周末的时间以a.m.作为后缀,那么你还是相信我正在枕头下埋头大睡好了。 |
