如何為自己騰出時間

如何為自己騰出時間

Do you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself? Many of us are so busy with work, school, and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy. What follows are some ways to carve out that essential time you need to slow down, enjoy life, and rejuvenate yourself.

你是否曾經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己渴望一些屬于自己的時間?我們很多人都忙于工作、學校和家庭生活，常常沒有時間去做自己喜歡的事情。以下是一些方法，讓你騰出必要的時間來放慢腳步，享受生活，讓自己重新煥發(fā)活力。

Scheduling Time with Yourself

為自己安排時間

1.Evenings with Yourself. Try to save certain weeknights just for you. If others ask you to do things those nights, just tell them you have plans. Use the time for gardening, reading, exercise, thinking, or the ultimate luxury of doing nothing!

晚上與你自己相處。試著為自己保留一些周末的夜晚。如果別人讓你在那些晚上做些事情，告訴他們你有安排。把這些時間用在園藝、閱讀、鍛煉、思考，或者什么都不做的極致享受上吧!

2.Monthly Treat. Schedule a treat for yourself once a month. It could be on your lunch break, a weekend, or it could be leaving work early. Maybe you get a spa treatment, go see a movie, a haircut, play golf, or whatever treat you’re always thinking about but rarely get to. Schedule it in and it will happen!

每月的款待。每個月為自己安排一次犒勞?？赡苁窃谀愕奈缧輹r間，周末，也可能是提前下班。也許你會去做spa，去看電影，剪頭發(fā)，打高爾夫，或者任何你一直在想但很少去做的事情。把它安排進去，它就會發(fā)生!

3.Buy Tickets in Advance. Sports, theater, concerts, or any other event you would enjoy. Schedule the plans with a friend later. Having the tickets already in hand will force you to make it happen!

提前買票。運動、戲劇、音樂會或任何你喜歡的活動。稍后和朋友一起制定計劃。有票在手將迫使你使它發(fā)生!

4.Leave Work on Time. Huh? Yes, many of us stay at work late on a regular basis. If this is you, make it a point to leave work exactly on time at least once a week, if not more. And then enjoy that time! Leave work at work.

按時下班。嗯?是的，我們很多人經(jīng)常工作到很晚。如果你是這樣的人，那就每周至少準時下班一次，如果不是更多的話。然后享受這段時間!把工作留在上班時間。

5.Join a Group. Here are some ideas of groups that can allow you some time away from work and home: singing group, gardening group, astronomy society, book club, quilting (or any other craft) circle, biking/walking/running/etc clubs, ski club, etc. What are you interested in? Strike while the iron is hot. Look up a club in your area today and join! If you can’t find a club, consider starting one yourself!

加入一個興趣組。這里有一些可以讓你遠離工作和家庭的團體的想法:唱詩班，園藝小組，天文學會，讀書俱樂部，拼布(或任何其他工藝)圈，騎自行車/步行/跑步/等俱樂部，滑雪俱樂部，等等。你對什么感興趣?趁熱打鐵。今天就去你所在地區(qū)的俱樂部看看，加入吧!如果你找不到俱樂部，可以考慮自己開一個!

6.Take an Adult Education Class. Take a fun class. If accounting is fun for you, then go ahead. If not, then think about some of these ideas: foreign language, photography, art, creative writing, or sports (kayaking, archery, golf, yoga). Belly-dancing anyone?

參加成人教育課程。參加一個有趣的課程。如果你對會計感興趣，那就去吧。如果沒有，那么想想這些想法:外語、攝影、藝術、創(chuàng)意寫作或運動(皮劃艇、射箭、高爾夫、瑜伽)?；蛘叨瞧の?

7.Exercise. For busy people it can be difficult to make time for this. But, you know what? You can do it!! All you have to do is decide today and then make it a reality tomorrow. A new habit is started with just one step. Take that first step tomorrow. Walk for 20 minutes in the morning. And then build on that success daily. Vary how you spend that time. On some days use the time for thinking and daydreaming. Other days listen to motivational audio and on days you want a real boost, listen to your favorite music! Here are a couple travel audio books you could borrow from your local library that will take you on a journey to a foreign land while you are walking or jogging: “Holy Cow:An Indian Adventure” by Sarah MacDonald or “The Places in Between” by Rory Stewart. If you’ve been exercising for a while and you usually listen to music, try go without any input for a change. Instead, let your mind wander and expand.

鍛煉。對于忙碌的人來說，很難抽出時間來做這件事。但是，你知道嗎?你能做到的!!你所要做的就是決定今天，然后讓明天成為現(xiàn)實。一個新習慣的養(yǎng)成只需要一步。明天邁出第一步。早上步行20分鐘。然后每天在成功的基礎上再接再厲。改變你度過這些時間的方式。有些日子用這段時間來思考和做白日夢。其他的日子聽勵志的音頻，在你想要一個真正的激勵的日子，聽你最喜歡的音樂!這里有幾本旅游有聲書，你可以從當?shù)貓D書館借來，在你散步或慢跑的時候帶你去異國他鄉(xiāng)旅行:莎拉·麥克唐納的《神圣母牛:印度歷險》或羅里·斯圖爾特的《中間地帶》。如果你已經(jīng)鍛煉了一段時間，而且你經(jīng)常聽音樂，試著不做任何改變。相反，讓你的思維發(fā)散開來。
