4. Hide the Television Remote (and Keep a Book by the Couch) 把电视遥控器藏起来(在沙发边放一本书) There’s nothing wrong with watching television. But for many of us, the TV becomes a default activity. It’s all too easy to come home, slump on the couch, and reach straight for the remote without even thinking. 看电视没什么错。但对于我们许多人来说，电视成为了一项默认的活动。回到家中，窝在沙发里，想也不想就伸手拿遥控器，这一切都太容易了。 If that’s a habit you’re trying to break, put the remote somewhere else. Hide it in a cupboard or on a high shelf. That way, you’ll have to make a real decision to watch television. 如果你想改变这种习惯，就把遥控器放在别的地方。把它藏在橱柜或者高的架子上。这样一来，你就需要慎重决定要不要看电视了。 You can go even further with this by putting a book that you want to read, or something else you want to get on with, next to the couch. 你还可以更进一步，把一本你想读的书，或者别的你想看的东西放在沙发边上。 5. Take a Packed Lunch to Work 带着午饭便当去上班 Trying to save money or eat more healthily? Fed up of wasting half your lunch break standing in line to buy a sandwich? Then take your own lunch to work. 想要省钱或者吃得更健康?厌倦了把一半午休时间都浪费在排队买三明治上?那就自带午餐去上班吧。 It costs much less to make a sandwich at home than to buy one out, and it only takes a few minutes. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your meal, so you can control the amount of fat and the number of calories, too. 在家自制一个三明治比在外面买一个便宜得多，而且只需要几分钟。你会清楚知道这一餐的成分，这样你也可以控制脂肪和卡路里的摄入量。 |
