“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. Your environment doesn’t control your life — you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 1.
1. Do less.
Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity( 数量) but on quality(质量). 2. Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.
2. Have fewer meetings.
3. And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.
3. 4.
When you do the some things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4. Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surroundings, no matter where you are.
Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. 5.
A. Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.
C. The world likely won’t end if you don’t pass one of the examinations.
D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.
E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.
F. Pick 2-3 important things — or even just one important thing — and work on those first.
G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
Vacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, it’s good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well.
“The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized,” says Weaver. “If they haven’t had a break, then they’re not coming back with new energy. They haven’t had a chance to step back and get perspective(远景), and come back with renewed enthusiasm.”
Long working hours without a break, insecurity about one’s job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time.
“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they’re there,” says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees’ productivity, creativity, and effectiveness.
In addition, high levels of stress may lead to depression, which can hit both the employer and employee’s pocketbook. Even people who manage to remain productive at work can have problems. If they’re always at work, then they’re not with their family and friends. If they’re working while on vacation, for the time that they’re on the job, they’re not really present.
An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air, you may see that you’re alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you.
1.What’s the main benefit of a vacation?
A. The manager can be more creative.
B. The worker can step back and get more excited
C. The worker can come back with new energy.
D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.
2.The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ____ .
A. the vacation B. the home
C. the university D. the company
3.When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more ____.
A. absent-minded B. energetic
C. skillful D. active
4.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. How to spend the vacation effectively. B. Why the workers need a vacation.
C. How to deal with the daily pressure. D. Why the workers need new energy.
