如何活在當下，讓時間有價值

如何活在當下，讓時間有價值

When you woke up this morning, you had a whole day ahead of you. And, when you go to bed, that same day will have passed.

當你今天早上醒來的時候，你面臨著新的一天。當你上床睡覺的時候，這一天已經(jīng)過去了。

Time is such a precious and limited resource, yet often we neglect or abuse it, thinking that there’s still time left. We’re sometimes so focused on the wrong priorities that we end up spending our precious time on things that won’t matter in the long run. And, we may not be spending enough time on the things that do matter.

時間是如此珍貴和有限的資源，但我們往往忽視或濫用它，認為還有時間。我們有時過于專注于錯誤的優(yōu)先事項，以至于最終把寶貴的時間花在了從長遠來看并不重要的事情上。而且，我們可能沒有花足夠的時間在真正重要的事情上。

Below are a few techniques to help you be more aware of your time spent, and how to truly make every second count.

下面是一些技巧，可以幫助你更好地意識到你所花的時間，以及如何真正讓每一秒都有價值。

Be Mindful of the Present

關注當下

Mindfulness can sometimes be a vague term. People often try to be mindful, or in the present, when on holidays, or when spending time with their loved ones. But, what does it really mean to be mindful of the present?

正念有時是一個模糊的術語。當人們在度假或與所愛的人共度時光時，他們往往會努力專注于當下。但是，關注當下到底意味著什么呢?

Well, it simply means to bring awareness to what you’re doing. It’s a practice that trains your brain to be more efficient and better integrated with your surroundings, so you’re less distracted and more focused. It also helps to minimize stress and allows you to become your best self.

好吧，它只是意味著讓你意識到你在做什么。這是一種訓練你的大腦更有效率，更好地融入周圍環(huán)境的練習，這樣你就不會那么分心，更專注。它也有助于減少壓力，讓你成為最好的自己。

Appreciate the Here and Now

珍惜此時此地

Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s a fun project or a mundane task, appreciate every moment of it, and make an effort to find the enjoyable aspects within it.

無論你在做什么，無論是一個有趣的項目還是一個平凡的任務，都要珍惜每一刻，并努力從中找到樂趣所在。

Be Fully Present When Around Others

當周圍有其他人的時候，要全身心投入

Often, when we spend time with others, we’re not really there with them. Physically, we may be present, but a lot of times we’re distracted by our phones or other devices. This is all pretty common human behavior that most of us are guilty of, but the good news is that with effort, you can shut off the outside world and just be present with the people you’re spending time with.

通常，當我們和別人在一起的時候，我們并不是真的和他們在一起。身體上，我們可能在現(xiàn)場，但很多時候我們被手機或其他設備分散了注意力。這些都是我們大多數(shù)人都遇到過的很常見的問題，但好消息是，通過努力，你可以把外面的世界關起來，只和你花時間在一起的人待在一起。

Take Smartphone Breaks

放下手機

When distracted by your phone, and acted upon, it takes up to 23 minutes to get back to the level of concentration where you left off before the interruption. So, if you let your phone interrupt you every 10 minutes, think about how much time and resources you’ve lost in a day?

當你的注意力被手機分散，并采取行動時，你需要23分鐘的時間才能恢復到中斷前的專注狀態(tài)。所以，如果你讓你的手機每10分鐘打擾你一次，想想你一天浪費了多少時間和資源?

Don’t Rush Through Life

不要匆忙地度過一生

It’s more important to know that the time you’re spending is spent meaningfully, and that you’re prioritizing the right things. If you haven’t been living in the present, the time is now!

更重要的是，你要知道你所花的時間是有意義的，你在優(yōu)先考慮正確的事情。如果你沒有活在當下，現(xiàn)在就是時候!
