如何活在当下，让时间有价值

如何活在当下，让时间有价值

When you woke up this morning, you had a whole day ahead of you. And, when you go to bed, that same day will have passed.

当你今天早上醒来的时候，你面临着新的一天。当你上床睡觉的时候，这一天已经过去了。

Time is such a precious and limited resource, yet often we neglect or abuse it, thinking that there’s still time left. We’re sometimes so focused on the wrong priorities that we end up spending our precious time on things that won’t matter in the long run. And, we may not be spending enough time on the things that do matter.

时间是如此珍贵和有限的资源，但我们往往忽视或滥用它，认为还有时间。我们有时过于专注于错误的优先事项，以至于最终把宝贵的时间花在了从长远来看并不重要的事情上。而且，我们可能没有花足够的时间在真正重要的事情上。

Below are a few techniques to help you be more aware of your time spent, and how to truly make every second count.

下面是一些技巧，可以帮助你更好地意识到你所花的时间，以及如何真正让每一秒都有价值。

Be Mindful of the Present

关注当下

Mindfulness can sometimes be a vague term. People often try to be mindful, or in the present, when on holidays, or when spending time with their loved ones. But, what does it really mean to be mindful of the present?

正念有时是一个模糊的术语。当人们在度假或与所爱的人共度时光时，他们往往会努力专注于当下。但是，关注当下到底意味着什么呢?

Well, it simply means to bring awareness to what you’re doing. It’s a practice that trains your brain to be more efficient and better integrated with your surroundings, so you’re less distracted and more focused. It also helps to minimize stress and allows you to become your best self.

好吧，它只是意味着让你意识到你在做什么。这是一种训练你的大脑更有效率，更好地融入周围环境的练习，这样你就不会那么分心，更专注。它也有助于减少压力，让你成为最好的自己。

Appreciate the Here and Now

珍惜此时此地

Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s a fun project or a mundane task, appreciate every moment of it, and make an effort to find the enjoyable aspects within it.

无论你在做什么，无论是一个有趣的项目还是一个平凡的任务，都要珍惜每一刻，并努力从中找到乐趣所在。

Be Fully Present When Around Others

当周围有其他人的时候，要全身心投入

Often, when we spend time with others, we’re not really there with them. Physically, we may be present, but a lot of times we’re distracted by our phones or other devices. This is all pretty common human behavior that most of us are guilty of, but the good news is that with effort, you can shut off the outside world and just be present with the people you’re spending time with.

通常，当我们和别人在一起的时候，我们并不是真的和他们在一起。身体上，我们可能在现场，但很多时候我们被手机或其他设备分散了注意力。这些都是我们大多数人都遇到过的很常见的问题，但好消息是，通过努力，你可以把外面的世界关起来，只和你花时间在一起的人待在一起。

Take Smartphone Breaks

放下手机

When distracted by your phone, and acted upon, it takes up to 23 minutes to get back to the level of concentration where you left off before the interruption. So, if you let your phone interrupt you every 10 minutes, think about how much time and resources you’ve lost in a day?

当你的注意力被手机分散，并采取行动时，你需要23分钟的时间才能恢复到中断前的专注状态。所以，如果你让你的手机每10分钟打扰你一次，想想你一天浪费了多少时间和资源?

Don’t Rush Through Life

不要匆忙地度过一生

It’s more important to know that the time you’re spending is spent meaningfully, and that you’re prioritizing the right things. If you haven’t been living in the present, the time is now!

更重要的是，你要知道你所花的时间是有意义的，你在优先考虑正确的事情。如果你没有活在当下，现在就是时候!
