現(xiàn)代的人生活越來越忙碌,卻疏忽了生命中一個重要的課題:你、如何與自己相處?當我們靜下心來細細回想,可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)每天留給自己的時間少之又少。更可悲的是,我們還常常浪費掉這寶貴的一丁點時間。
本文沒有結(jié)論,只是對我們提出了問題。你的一天有多少屬于自己的時間?你又是如何安排它們的呢?
How Many Hours Are In Your Day?
你一天為自己留多少時間?
This isn't a feature article but just a quick note to everyone。
這并不是一篇專業(yè)論文,這只是對大家的一個小提醒。
How many hours do you have in your day?
你的一天有多少時間呢?
Theoretically, there are 24 in mine. Yours might be different。
從理論上講,有24個小時。當然你也有可能不同(比如,如果你是火星人的話……)。
But I sleep about 6 hours a day. Maybe 2 hours are spent eating. Another 2 hours for grooming and driving. Another 3 hours for getting stuff ready for my kids, cooking, cleaning. Another 5 hours doing routine stuff at work and with the blog. Maybe another hour doing errands, paying bills, going to the grocery store, or whatever else needs to be done. Another 2 hours doing communication: email, IM, phones, etc。
我一天睡差不多6個鐘頭。也許花兩小時吃飯。另外兩小時打扮和開車。再另外三小時的時間用來照顧我的小孩、煮飯、打掃。花5個小時做常規(guī)的工作上的事情,寫寫博客?;蛟S還有一個小時時間用來幫人跑跑腿、付賬單、去雜貨店、或者其他一些雜事兒。最后還有兩小時用來交流:寫email,網(wǎng)上聊天、煲電話粥等等。
24 hours - 6 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 1 -2 = 3
所以:24小時- 6 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 1 -2 = 3
3 hours left over for doing stuff I'm passionate about, for pursuing my dreams, for doing new projects that will change my life, for writing the Great American Novel, for exercise, for spending time with loved ones, for myself。
剩下三個鐘頭來做我真正喜歡的事,來追求我的夢想,來做一些可能會改變我生命的新項目、來寫一本偉大的美國小說、來鍛煉身體、來和愛的人呆在一起、來和我自己相處。
I'm guessing most of you have about that much time in your day for these kinds of things, give or take an hour or so。
我猜你們當中大多數(shù)一天所剩的時間也和我差不多,頂多一兩個鐘頭的出入吧。
What will you do with your 3 hours?
那,你會用這三個小時干嘛呢?
