34. Focus on a few priorities in your life. Keep things simple to be able to put enough effort, attention and energy into those most important things. Rather than becoming spread too thin, rarely finishing things and being distracted by all those many other things you want to do or that feel you need to do too.

集中考虑生活中需要优先完成的事情。简化问题，让你能够投入所有的努力，注意力和能力来解决最重要的问题。而非把问题扩展成无穷小的部分，或者几乎不能完成的事情，继而被许多其他需要你去完成或者你想做的事情弄的心烦意乱。 

35. Keep a journal. By writing the facts and your thoughts and feelings down in a journal it becomes easier to work through a challenge and to find a good solution. You can also use a journal to track your actual results instead of guesstimating how your life is going. And to better remember all the things that you did well or that went well if you worry often or have quite a bit of negative thoughts.

按时写日记。通过记录下事情的面貌，你的想法和感受，可以帮你完成挑战或者找出解决办法。你也可以通过记日记来写下你生活的真实结果，而不是瞎猜你到底过的怎么样。这样也能记住你完成的好的事情，或者你经常担心但是没什么大碍的事情，或者一些负面情绪。 

36. Stop doing what you don’t like doing anymore. Life changes and so do you. If you you don’t like doing something anymore then perhaps it is time to stop doing that (even if it may take some time before you can do so by for example switching jobs).

不要再做你讨厌做的事情了。生活在改变，你也一样。如果你特别讨厌做某事那就不要再做了（及时这将花去你一段时间，比如换工作） 

37. Use a very simple workspace. My work space is just a laptop on a small black desk made out of wood. I use a comfy chair and there is room for my glass of water beside the computer. That’s it. There are no distractions here. Just me, the computer and the water.

拥有一个简单的工作空间。我的工作间只是个木头的黑色小桌，上面摆一台笔记本电脑。我有一把舒服的椅子，笔记本旁边放着一杯水。就这些了。没有其他让我分心的食物，只有电脑，水和我。 

38. Spend 15 minutes each Sunday to plan the next week. Write down your plans for the week, organize your prioritized to-do list and get ready for the week before you are in the middle of it all. This will help you to find more clarity, get more of the most important things done next week and minimize stress.

.每个周末抽出15分钟计划下周的事情。写下你下周的计划，整理出下周优先要做的事情，并在之前做好准备。这将帮你把下周最重要的事情变明了，从而减少压力。 

39. Cancel subscriptions for TV-channels, newsletters and magazines you rarely get around to watching or reading anyway.

退订那些你很难抽空去看或者读得电视节目，新闻邮件，杂志。 

40. Ask instead of guessing. Reading minds is hard. So, instead ask questions and communicate. This will help you to minimize unnecessary conflicts, misunderstandings, negativity and waste or time and energy.

询问而不是猜测。读心是很难的。因此，要去询问别人并交流。这会帮你避免不必要的冲突，误会，节省你的时间和精力。 

41. Make one change at a time and start small. Focus on one habit or area at a time. If you want to start running or decluttering, start with doing just a few minutes of that activity a day or week. Then gradually increase the amount of time you spend on that activity to make it easier to adopt the new habit.

一次改变一小点，从小事做起。一次只关注一个习惯，如果你打算开始跑步，或者收拾屋子，那么试着每天或者每周开始做那么几分钟。然后慢慢逐渐增加你花在这项活动上的时间，这样可以让你更容易的来适应这项新习惯。 

42. Be lazy. By using the tips in this article you’ll be able to get things done more quickly and in a simpler way. This will give more time in a regular week to simply be lazy. To just take it easy alone or with family or a friend, to not do much at all. I highly recommend spending time with being lazy every week to relax, to mindfully enjoy the small pleasures of life and to recharge yourself so that you can be effective and focused again later on.

偷个懒。通过使用本文中的建议，你可以更容易 ，更有效的解决问题。这样每周都会定期多出时间来。那么就和家人，朋友，或者自己放松放松，不要太过就行。我强烈推荐每周偷了懒放松自己，让自己明白要享受生活中细小的幸福，让自己充电后能更专心和有效的面临即将到来的工作。
