7個小改變告別單調重複的生活
It's a new week. However, is you. life repeating itself? Are you doing the same things that you did last week?
又是新的一週。可是，你的生活是否又在循環往復呢？你是否又在重複上週做過的事情？Performing the same actions and giving the minimum to get by. After all, you have done all this before. Same Actions, Same Results.
老調重彈，聊以度日。要知道，這些事情你早已做過了。同樣的事情，同樣的結果。If you are just going through the motions, you are wasting your time. Same actions. Different day. Repeat. Repeat. Same low effort. Same low results.
如果你每天都經歷着同樣的過程，那就是在浪費時間。新日子、老調子。重複。重複。效率低下，結果甚微。
You could probably do it in your sleep. (Many people in the workplace appear to do this.) If you do the same things every day, then your life is going to be boring by definition.
甚至在睡夢裏你都在重複着一切。（很多職場人士都有這種傾向。）如果你每天重複同樣的事情，那你的生活必然會無聊至極。After all, you do the same things. Eat the same foods. Go to the same places. Talk to the same people. And you wonder why your life is boring? Average, even.
畢竟，你做的事情都千篇一律。吃同樣的食物。去同樣的地方。跟同樣的人講話。你也會想，爲什麼你的生活無聊甚至平庸了？If you don't want the same repetitive routine, then it's on you to change things up. After all, doing the same things each day and expecting different results is… well, just stupid. (Sorry, but it is.) Here are 7 Ways to “Not Go Through the Motions Today…”
如果你討厭日復一日循環度日，那是時候作出改變了。畢竟日無新事的時候竟還期待意外驚喜降臨，真的很愚蠢。下面7招就教你避免“做一天和尚撞一天鐘”：1. Change It Up — Sometimes even small changes to your routine can produce big results. Get up 30 minutes early. Stay 30 minutes late. Do things out-of-order for once.
1. 有所改變 —— 有時候，哪怕最小的改變都能帶來不錯的結果。比如，早30分鐘起牀、晚30分鐘回家、打破常規做事情。2. Always Give It Your All — Going through the motions produces average results because you aren't doing your best work. Never compromise yourself. Always do things right the first time and with class.
2. 全力以赴 —— 敷衍塞責只能造成平庸，因爲你並沒有盡最大努力。永遠別跟自己妥協。永遠在第一時間最出色地完成任務。3. Do Something New — If you want different results, you have to do different things. Today, do something new. Something you wouldn't have normally done. When presented with two choices, choose the one that is new to you.
3. 嘗試新事物 —— 若想得到不同結果，你就得嘗試不同事物。今天就開始嘗試點新花樣吧。做點你平時不會去做的事情。倘若你有兩種選擇，何不選擇新奇的那個呢？4. Stretch Your Limits — Going through the motions means that you aren't pushing yourself. You are stronger than you even know, but until you test yourself, you will not know your true capabilities.
4. 挑戰極限 —— “做一天和尚撞一天鐘”說明你對自己不夠嚴格。你遠比自己想象的堅強，但只有當你經歷了挑戰，你纔會知道自己的真正實力。5. Talk to Someone… Else - If you always talk to the same people, you are always going to have the same conversations. Who is the person that you always see at work, but never talk to? Engage them today. They might just be someone who you want to know, either personally or professionally.
5. 找其他人聊天 —— 總是和同樣的人談話，那談話的內容也總是差不多吧。你工作時常常碰見卻很少交談的人是誰？今天就試着跟他們聊聊吧。或許他們正是你私下裏或工作上想要了解的人呢。6. Learn Something — If you don't want to always be doing the same things, you have to learn new skills. Learn something new every single day.
6. 日有所獲 —— 不想重複同樣的事情？那你可得學點新技能了。每天試着學點新東西吧。7. Choose Your Own Path — We often forget that we have a choice in our path. Rather than just repeating the course where everyone else has gone before us, blaze your own path.
7. 走自己的路 —— 我們總是忘了自己有權選擇自己的道路。我們不必重蹈他人的覆轍。所以，請闖出你自己的道路吧。Ensure that you aren't just going through the motions today. We all have limited time in our days and lives. Don't settle for the same old same old. Choose to do something new, and always give it your best.
確保你今天不再磨洋工混日子。我們的時間和生活是有限的。請不要躺在過去的溫柔鄉里。去嘗試新鮮事物。並全力以赴！
