8. Write a Grocery List 列出购物清单 Do you find yourself spending more in the grocery store than you mean to? Do you constantly end up getting take-out because the cupboards are bare? 你是否发现自己花在杂货店上的钱比预想的要多?你是否总是因为橱柜空了才不得不叫外卖? A little planning goes a long way when it comes to grocery shopping. Think through the meals you want to eat during the week, and write a list of all the ingredients that you need to buy. It only takes five or ten minutes, and saves you a lot of head-scratching (and wasted money) in the store. 去杂货店购物时,一份购物清单会大有帮助。想想你在下一周要做的菜,列出一份你需要购买的材料清单。这只需要5-10分钟,却可以在商店里帮你节省很多麻烦和金钱。 9. Tackle that Thing You’ve Been Putting Off 处理那些你一直在拖延的事情 We all put things off. Maybe it’s making that phone call, tidying your desk, sorting out a few little-but-annoying problems around the home… 我们都在拖延。也许是打一个电话,也许是清理书桌,也许是处理家庭里一些细小但麻烦的问题。 It’s surprising how much better you can feel after getting a long-standing chore off your to-do list. Try picking one thing each day to sort out: it’ll only take a few minutes, and after a week or two, you’ll have got a bunch of energy-draining stuff out of the way. 把堆积已久的杂事从你的必做清单上清楚掉,那种感觉会好到让你自己都惊讶。试着每天解决一件事情,这只需要花几分钟,一两周后,你就会解决很多耗费精力的事情。 |
