Where Does Time Go?
You get caught up in the business of theday-to-day. You say you don’t have enough time.
你每天都忙忙碌碌的.你总说时间不够用.
Yet, the question isn’t where you arespending your time…But rather, where should you be spending your time?
但问题并不在于时间都花哪里去了.你更应该关心的是时间应该花在哪?
Often, we think we don’t have a choiceabout our time. Yet, we always have a choice. Where should you be spending yourtime?
我们总觉得时间对每个人都是公平的,我们无法选择.但实际上我们可以选.应该在哪花更多的时间?
Here are 10 Things You Should beChoosing to Spend More Time on…
下面你应该花更多时间的10件事
1. Your Family
你的家庭
Our family is the reason that we do somany things in life. Work, jobs, and more. Yet ironically,we then neglect the very people that we are working so hard to provide for. Ifyou don’t spend time with your family, you will lose the chance to spend timewith them at all. Many people learn this the hard way.
我们做的一切、工作,等等这些都是为了一个我们的家庭.然而具有讽刺意味的是,我们经常忽视了这些人,而他们正是我们努力工作的目的.如果不花点时间在家人身上,你会彻底失去和他们一起相处的机会.很多人都有过这样的痛苦教训.
2. Taking Care of Yourself
照顾好自己
I know many people whose professionallives are very extremely successful, but behind the scenes their personal livesare a disaster. This is a house of cards waiting to fall down. And iteventually does. Take care of your personal business first.
我知道很多人的职业生涯极其成功,但光鲜背后他们的个人生活却十分糟糕.他们就像一个摇摇欲坠的纸房子,最终真的就轰然倒塌.先照顾好自己吧.
3. Exercising
锻炼身体
Maintaining your physical health is oneof the most important things you can do. Your body allows you to do everythingelse, keep it in the best shape you can. (And yes, you do have time toworkout.)
保持身体健康是最重要的事情之一.只有身体好,你才能做其他的事情.（而且,你必须得要有锻炼身体的时间.）
4. Thinking
思考
When was the last time you just sat andthought? (Very difficult if you have kids…) Quiet thinking time can be magical.It clears our heads and lets us realize what is important to us. Spend sometime just thinking. About your goals… where you are… and where you want to go.
你上次坐着思考是什么时候?（有了孩子之后更难了...）短暂思考时间会带给你神奇的感受.它会让我们的大脑思路更清晰,让我们意识到什么才是重要的.花点时间想一想,你的目标、你在哪里、你想去哪里.
5. Writing
写作
I am a big believer that everyone shouldwrite. Most people don’t after they leave school. Yet, writing is an invaluableway of clarifying your thinking, expanding your imagination, and stretchingyour mind. Many people want to write a book… do it. Even if your story is justto keep a journal, practice getting your thoughts out of your head.
我强烈认为每个人都应该写作.很多人毕业之后根本就不再写东西了.但是写作是能理清思绪的好办法.很多人想写书,那就去写.即使你的故事只能写个日记,但请练习用文字表达自己的思绪吧.
6. Playing
玩
When was the last time you played?Played a game. Played for fun. Played just to enjoy time with those that matterto you. (See #1.) Playing renews your energy and boosts all areas of your life.
你上次玩是什么时候?玩个游戏吧,开心的玩.和那些对你重要的人玩（比方说跟你的家人）.玩能够恢复精力,提高生活的方方面面.
7. Planning
做计划
Everyone needs a plan. Otherwise, youwill be wandering through life aimlessly. Taking time to plan, saves time. Itreduces stress. And it makes you more efficient.
每个人都需要计划.否则你的人生会很没有追求.花点时间做个计划来节省时间.可以减轻压力,使你更加有效率.
8. Organizing
整理东西
You create your own problems and lifefriction when you are disorganized What do you need to clean up? Your car? Thegarage? Your desk? Organization leads to action. And no, piles are notorganization.
当你不整理时,麻烦和烦恼也来了.你需要清洁什么?车子、车库还是桌子?整理是需要行动的,把东西都堆起来可不叫整理哦.
9. Giving to Others
帮助别人
You may say, “I don’t have time formyself, how I am supposed to give it to others?” Yet, one of the biggestsecrets in life is that you get what you give. Make sure you give and helpthose around you.
你也许会说：“我自己都没时间了,怎么可能还去帮助别人?” 生活最大的一个秘密在于你得到的都是你付出的.一定要给予,帮助你身边的人.
10. Preparing
做好准备
Planning is good, but taking action toprepare is the next step. Preparation is all about action. Don’t just know whatis ahead of you, but prepare to do it. Read the materials in advance. Do thehomework. Be ready.
