Right you get those emails, if you don't respond for about an hour or two, the server may have been down. But other than that, nothing will happen, if you don't respond to emails, if you don't have your emails on for two, three hours.
其实你收到邮件了 如果一两小时内不回复 对方就以为服务器挂了 除此以外 什么也不会发生 即使你不回复 即使把邮箱关个两三小时
Nothing will happen if you don't answer the phone every moment. Unless you are an ambulance driver, in which case you should have it on. But otherwise, it's fine. Switch it off.
同样 就算你不是每个电话都接 也不会怎么样 除非你是救护车司机 那还是开着电话吧 除此以外 都可以关了电话
Doing less-and when you do less, you get so much more done. Creativity goes up. Productivity goes up. Work satisfaction goes up. Because when we are distracted, there can't be too much of a good thing.
少做点事 可以完成得更多 创造力提升 效率提高 工作满意度提升 因为我们分心时 就会过犹不及
I've spoken about so many techniques already. I speak about some more about journaling, about doing gratitude exercise, about writing a gratitude letter. We are going to talk about doing more physical exercise. We talk about act of kindness and so many things, but really the key thing is actually not to do the additional things, but to do less, or rather to identify the things that you really, really want to do with your life and do them.
我提到过很多技巧 比如记日记 表达感激 写感谢信 今天我们还会讲到生理锻炼 仁爱之举 等等 但是最关键不是要多做事 而是少做 或者说是明确你真心想做的 然后坚定不移地执行
Because quantity affects quality.
因为多则劣 少则精
Tim Kasser, a humanistic psychologist has done research on time affluence.
人本主义心理学家蒂姆·卡塞尔 做过一项关于时间充裕的研究
As we know from research, material affluence matters very little to our well being, beyond having our basic needs met, hardly even affects our well being.
我们已经知道 物质充裕对于我们的幸福感影响不大 基本需求得到满足之外 几乎不会影响我们的幸福感
However, what does affect our well being is what Kasser calls "time affluence", which is the feeling that we have time, the feeling that we can savor the things that we are doing, that we are not constantly chasing our own shadow, that we are not constantly running around and feeling stressed.
但是 的确会影响我们幸福感的 是卡塞尔所说的“时间充裕” 这是一种感觉 我们感到时间充裕 感到我们能充分享受手头所做的事 而不是竹篮打水 做无用功 东奔西跑 压力巨大
