七、挤时间吃午饭。是的，你很忙，连吃午饭的时间都没有……但是，如果你饿着不吃饭，工作效率会很低，很多任务也难以完成。

　　Take your laptop to meetings– let’s face it, there are many meetings which are boring and don’t specifically address your projects. There are times when you have urgent burning issues which you can’t solve because of your obligatory presence on that dull meeting. Take your laptop and work on the urgent presentation of yours while they discuss things, which you can read later in filtered meeting minutes。

　　八、开会带上笔记本。不得不承认，很多会议不仅无聊，对你的具体工作也没实际帮助。由于不得不参加某个沉闷的会议，你无法处理眼前十万火急的问题。所以，带上笔记本电脑，趁别人讨论时忙自己的事吧。至于讨论结果，会后自然见晓。

　　Think of the bright spot of the day– I am sure that work is not your whole life. After work you definitely have something nice to do – whether it’s going home and enjoying family, having dinner out, meeting friends or having guests. When things get really bad, think that just in a few hours you will be doing the pleasant thing you have planned for today and it will be easy to carry on。

　　九、想点开心的事情。我敢肯定，工作绝不是你生活的全部。下班后，你肯定也有好玩的事情，比如，陪陪家人、出去吃饭、呼朋唤友或宴请客人。工作不顺心时，想想几个小时后就能做计划好的开心事，你会淡定得多。

　　Do the most irritating things first – choose the most depressing things from your to do list and do them first. While you have energy you will cope with them easier and you will have less stressful tasks for the rest of the day。

　　十、先做最难的部分。选出工作中最烦心的部分，第一个解决掉。精力充沛时，处理这种事比较容易;接下来的任务也会轻松得多。

　　Don’t accumulate unanswered emails– make sure you reply to emails as they come. Have it as an ongoing thing in between tasks. That will help you avoid the “email duty” before you leave work for home。

　　十一、不要积压邮件。确保邮件一来就回复，并在工作间隙时常查看。这样你就不必下班前赶着回复当日邮件了。

　　Cheer up your desk – have something nice/cute/funny/positive on your desk because it will make you smile each time you look at it. During the day look at this thing and forget about the problem for a few seconds。

　　十二、让你的办公桌活泼起来。桌上放个或可爱或有趣的物件吧。这样，每次你看到它都会情不自禁微笑。不经意间看到它，可以让你暂时忘却工作烦恼。

　　Make a phone call – no matter how busy you are you can always find a few minutes to call the ones you love. Those few minutes will charge you up with positive feelings and remind that work is not your whole life, but just part of it。

　　十三、打个电话。不管多忙，你总能抽几分钟时间给爱人打个电话吧。这几分钟可以让你乐观起来，提醒自己工作只是生活的一部分，不是全部。

　　Music in your ears – If you do not have your separate office， noise, conversations and ringing phones may get on your nerves when you need to concentrate. Put on the headphones, tune into your most productive music and concentrate on your task。

　　十四、听听音乐。如果你没有自己单独的办公室却又必须专心做事，周围的噪音、谈话声或电话铃声可能会让你头疼不已。那么，你可以戴上耳麦，调到最能提高你效率的音乐，然后再专心工作。

　　For many people full time work is part of every day life. We just need to make sure that it does not affect negatively our health, family and life balance。对很多人而言，工作是日常生活的重要部分。所以，必须避免工作消极影响我们的健康、家庭及生活平衡。
