4. Eat less and eat well – but eat more frequently
吃得少吃得好——但頻率要高
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are key meals to have every day, but they aren’t enough if you want to keep the energy going. You need to eat a little bit less during those pre-ordained meals and at 2-3 more eating periods during your day.
早餐、中餐和晚餐是每天的主要三餐,但是它們並不能保證你一天都有充足的能量。你需要在吃固定餐時少吃一點,然後一天多吃兩到三次。
Of course, you need to eat well. Try to limit your sugar and caffeine intake. I have found that a small amount of almonds and some cucumber at the ready always makes for a good snack to keep me going. Don’t sacrifice your health for more time – because doing that will have the opposite effect.
當然,你需要吃得好。儘量限制糖和咖啡因的攝入。我發現少量的杏仁和黃瓜真的是讓我繼續工作的好零食。不要為了獲得更多時間來犧牲自己的健康,因為效果會適得其反。
5. Stay hydrated
時刻補水
Drink plenty of water. Keep a water bottle nearby and try to drink water that isn’t ice cold – the body has an easier time dealing with it that way.
喝大量的水。在身邊就放一瓶水,不要喝冰水,讓身體可以更好的去消化。
Tea is also great if you need a break from the mundane. But remember to limit the caffeine intake – some teas are chock full of the stuff.
如果你需要休息的話,茶也是不錯的選擇。但是記住要限制咖啡因的攝入——有些茶的咖啡因含量非常高。
6. Do the hard work up front
一開始就將艱難的工作做完
Get the tough stuff out of the way early on. Whether that’s setting up a system so that you can be more productive or whether it is a task that is going to take more mental and physical energy to complete, do those things off the top.
儘早將艱難的工作做完。無論是創建一個使你更具效率的系統還是一個需要耗費大量體力或精力的任務,都應該最先做完。
Setting up an app like Evernote, Hazel or whatever task manager you choose takes some doing in the beginning, but if you spend the time doing the hard work up front it will pay off in spades over the long haul.
下載安裝應用軟體如Evernote,Hazel,或者任何一個任務管理軟體,你可以應用它來管理、選擇你最先要做的任務。如果你每天都將最難的工作放在最前面來做,日積月累下來你就會得到不小的收穫。
These 6 tips may seem simple enough, but they are not so simple to maintain. But if you keep at it and keep your eyes on the prize – which is more time for you to do what you really want – then you』ll find that sticking to them is time well spent.
這六個小貼士似乎夠簡單的了,但要堅持下去卻不容易。但如果你堅持下去,關注一下成效——你有更多的時間做自己想做的事情——那麼你會發現堅持它們可以更好的利用時間。
