what is the most clever life hack you have learned?
你學(xué)會(huì)的最明智的人生技巧是什么?
Whenever I feel lazy or uninspired, I imagine my 80 year old self is watching and judging HOW I SPEND MY DAY.
當(dāng)我偷懶,沒(méi)有動(dòng)力時(shí),我會(huì)想想80歲的自己正在看著和評(píng)判著我是如何度過(guò)日子的。
-The older we get, timeseemsto move quicker because everything happens inbigger time blocks. In grade school you had 45 min periods, a 15 min recess a 30 min lunch, a 60 min basketball practice etc.When we’re older we have 4 hour part time shifts, 3 hour college classes, 9 hour work days, 2 hours of daily commuting etc. In adulthood our weeks, months and years often blend together in hindsight.
我們年齡越大,時(shí)間仿佛過(guò)得越快,因?yàn)檫^(guò)去的任何事發(fā)生在更大的時(shí)間區(qū)間里。在學(xué)校,你有45分鐘一節(jié)的課,15分鐘的課間休息,30分鐘的午餐,60分鐘的籃球練習(xí)課等等。當(dāng)我更大一點(diǎn)了,我們有4小時(shí)兼職時(shí)間,3小時(shí)的大學(xué)課程,9小時(shí)的工作日,兩小時(shí)的日常交流。長(zhǎng)大以后,我們的禮拜,每個(gè)月,每年就都消逝在了回憶里。
It’s incredibly easy for these large chunks of time that take up my day to wear me out.REMEMBER: There will be nights when you come home and are so exhausted that you’ll crash immediately.?On other nightswhen you have the optionto either call it a day or use your last bits of energy to contribute something, ALWAYS choose the latter. Even if it’s just an extra paragraph you write, a chapter you read or an email you send, those small tasks you tackle accumulate over time and will pay dividends sooner than you think.
大塊的時(shí)間特別容易就讓自己精疲力盡。記住:有很多夜晚,當(dāng)你回到家時(shí)總是精疲力盡,你可能馬上就崩潰了。在其他一些夜晚,當(dāng)你可以選擇是結(jié)束一天還是用盡你最后一點(diǎn)力氣再做點(diǎn)正事,應(yīng)該選擇后者。即使只是你寫(xiě)的一個(gè)小段落,你看了一個(gè)章節(jié)的書(shū)或者發(fā)送一份郵件,隨著這些時(shí)間過(guò)去,這些小任務(wù)不斷的處理,將會(huì)更早的得到收益。
If your 80 year old self is watching you today, they’re envying you because you have the one precious resource that no amount of money will ever get them:time. So make the most of it. That way current you AND 80 year old you can be proud of a life well utilized.
如果80歲的你現(xiàn)在正看著你,他們會(huì)很嫉妒你,因?yàn)槟阌幸豁?xiàng)多少金錢(qián)也買(mǎi)不回來(lái)的東西:時(shí)間。所以,利用好時(shí)間吧。這樣的話(huà),如今的你和80歲的你都會(huì)為你能利用好時(shí)間感到驕傲。
