想要赚更多钱、拥有更多属于自己的时间、过上更幸福的生活？如果是这样，不妨试试把这些方法融入你的日常生活。

1. Get rid of any clutter. Go through your drawers and cupboards and throw out any old magazines, keys and batteries that you’ve accumulated over the years.
清理杂物 整理抽屉和橱柜，扔掉多年来积攒的旧杂志、闲置钥匙、旧电池。
2. Walk around your home and identify 10 things you need to fix: a broken light bulb, a missing button, a broken kitchen cupboard door. Then, try to repair them one by one for the next few weeks.
排查家中待修事项 在家中走一圈，列出 10 件需要修理的事：坏灯泡、掉的纽扣、破损的橱柜门。接下来几周，逐一修好它们。
3. Psychologists say that one of the best ways to motivate yourself is to write down five things you’re really grateful for. Try it!
心理学家表示，自我激励的最佳方法之一，是写下 5 件你真正感恩的事。试试看！
4. Make a list of 10 to 20 things that you enjoy doing: for example: walking in the park, going to the cinema, chatting with friends. Then, try to do at least one of them every day.
列出 10-20 件你喜欢做的事：比如在公园散步、看电影、和朋友聊天。每天至少做一件。
5. Stop thinking about all the things you should have done or could have done and focus instead on the things that you can do and will do. As soon as any negative thoughts try to creep in, start thinking of something more positive.
别再纠结那些本应该做、本可以做的事，专注于你能做、将要做的事。 一旦消极想法冒出来，立刻切换到积极的思绪。
6. Try to learn at least one new thing every day: the name of a tree that grows in the park near your house, an unusual word from the dictionary, the composer of a piece of music you like…
每天至少学一件新事物：家附近公园的树名、词典里的生僻词、喜欢的乐曲的作曲家……
7. Track every penny you spend for the next four weeks. Then, create a spending plan and try to stick to it. Also, look up any tips on how to save money. For example: go off shopping with a list, turn off lights any time you leave the room, put on a sweater instead of turning on the heating…
接下来 4 周，记录每一笔开销。 然后制定消费计划并坚持执行。同时查一些省钱技巧：比如购物列清单、离开房间随手关灯、穿毛衣代替开暖气……
8. Make a list of all the things you’ve got to do and put them into two columns: “must do” and “would like to do”. Then, prioritise the ones on the “must-do” list and try to cross off at least one every week for the next few months.
列出所有待办事项，分成两栏：「必须做」和「想要做」。 给「必须做」的事项排序，接下来几个月，每周至少完成一件。
9. Track how you spend your time for 30 days. Then, use the information to create a time plan. You can decide on the percentage of time that you want to devote to each activity that you engage in on a regular basis.
连续 30 天记录时间分配。 然后根据数据制定时间计划，给日常各项活动分配时间占比。Also, set a time limit (one hour, for example) for the amount of time you spend checking your e-mails, visiting Facebook and surfing the internet. And try to watch a maximum of one hour of television a day.
同时给查邮件、刷社交、上网设定时间上限（比如 1 小时），每天看电视最多不超过 1 小时。
10. Spend a few minutes at the end of each day organising your desk, filing papers, and making sure that your work area is clean and orderly, so that you can walk in to a neat desk the next day. Also, do the washing up and tidy up the living room before you go to bed. There’s nothing worse than waking up to mess.
每天睡前花几分钟整理书桌、归档文件，确保工作区整洁有序，第二天就能面对干净的桌面。 睡前洗碗、整理客厅。没有什么比醒来面对一团糟更糟的了。

You’re probably feeling a whole lot better already! ❤️
你大概率已经感觉好多啦！ ❤️
