1. Make time for family and friends. This is especially important for those who don’t spend much time with their loved ones during the week.

1.為家人和朋友騰點時間。對于那些一周都沒有太多時間與親人相處的人來說，周末和家人在一起特別重要。

2. Exercise. Everyone needs to do it, and if you can’t work out 4 to 5 days during the workweek, you need to be active on weekends to make up for some of that time. It’s the perfect opportunity to clear you mind and create fresh ideas.

2. 運(yùn)動。每個人都要做到這一點，如果你不能在工作日內(nèi)中鍛煉，你需要在周末活躍些來彌補(bǔ)。這是提神醒腦、創(chuàng)造新想法的絕好機(jī)會。

3. Pursue a passion. There’s a creative director of a greeting card company who went back to school to pursue an MFA because of her love of art.Pursuing this passion turned into a love of poetry that she now writes on weekends. Successful people make time for what is important or fun,and they make space for activities that add to their life balance.

3. 有所追求。有一個賀卡公司的創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)，出于對藝術(shù)的熱愛，重回學(xué)校攻讀美術(shù)碩士。如今這種追求讓她愛上了詩歌，她現(xiàn)在會在周末搞些創(chuàng)作。成功的人會騰出時間給重要或有趣的事，以及那些可以平衡工作與生活的事。

4. Vacation. Getting away for the weekend provides a great respite from the grind of an intense week at work.

4. 度假。周末外出度假可以給一周緊張的工作提供很好的喘息時間。

5. Avoid chores. Every weekend has a few have-to-dos, but you want these to take the minimum amount of time possible. Create a small window for chores and errands, and then banish them from your mind the rest of the time.

5. 避免雜事。每個周末都有幾件待辦事項，但你希望這些事盡可能占用最少的時間。給家務(wù)和雜事創(chuàng)建個小窗口，然后剩下的時間把他們從腦海中驅(qū)逐。

6. Plan. Planning makes people more effective, and doing it before the week starts means you can hit Monday ready to go, and means you’ll give clear directions to the people who work for you, so they will be ready to go, too.

6. 做計劃。規(guī)劃使人做事更高效，在新的一周開始前做好計劃意味著你能在星期一就蓄勢待發(fā)，也意味著你將給員工明確的指示，這樣他們也會有所準(zhǔn)備。

7. Gardening/crafts/games/sports/cooking/cultural activities. This is especially important for those cooped up in an office all week. Bridge lessons and groups can also sharpen the mind and often create relationships among highly competitive smart professionals.Theatre, opera and sporting events can also enrich one’s spirit.

7. 園藝/工藝品/游戲/體育/烹飪/文化等活動。對于那些整周關(guān)在辦公室的人來說，這一點尤為重要。橋牌課和興趣小組也能鍛煉頭腦，也往往能在有競爭力的高智商專業(yè)人士間建立人脈。劇院、歌劇和體育賽事也可以豐富人們的精神生活。

8. Network. Networking isn’t an event for a successful person, it’s a lifestyle. Wherever they go and whatever they do, they manage to connect with new people.

8. 人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)。人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)對成功人士來說不是一件事，而是一種生活方式。無論在何處、在做什么，他們都樂于和陌生人接觸。

9. Reflect. Truly successful people make time on weekends to appreciate what they have and reflect on their happiness and accomplishments. Weekends are a great chance to reflect and be more introspective about bigger issues.

9. 反思。真正成功的人在周末會花時間欣賞他們擁有的東西，并思考他們的幸福和成就。周末是一個用來反省的、思考更大問題的絕佳機(jī)會。

10. Recharge. We live in a competitive world.Peak performance requires managing downtime, too–with the goal of really recharging your batteries.That’s how the most successful people get so much done.

10. 充電。我們生活在一個充滿競爭的世界。再好的表現(xiàn)也需要停下來調(diào)整狀態(tài)，停下來的目的是為了給自己充電。這就是為什么成功的人會有如此多的收獲。
