生命中不可或缺的6種時間
What types of time do we have in our lives? All hours are not necessarily equal, and time management advice doesn’t always address this.
我們的一生中時間究竟用來做什麼了？我們知道我們做每一件事用的時間長短都不一樣，那我們如何管理時間呢？
These are six key types of time which we need:
Creative and productive
This type of time is the sort which much advice focuses on. It’s the time in which you produce something: whether that’s a company report, a painting, a new musical score, or a clear inbox.
創造與生產的時間：在這個時間裏我們不停地創造新東西，不論是工作上的或生活上的。
Physically energetic and active
We know that exercise is vital for good health – both physical and mental. It often helps to re-energize us for the cerebral work of creating and producing:
鍛鍊的時間：我們都知道運動對身體至關重要，無論是精神上還是肉體上。
Playful and entertaining
when we’re doing something fun that is not for other people: it’s purely for us. Although this area overlaps with “creative”, I’ve drawn a distinction because we all need time
玩樂的時間：這裏的玩樂是指完全爲了自己的快樂。
Learning and developing
Many of us think that learning stops when we finish high school or college. Making a conscious effort to carry on learning new things and developing your skills, though, pays dividends in many ways:
學習和發展的時間：很多人在畢業之後就不再學習了，這是不對的。應該不斷地吸收與學習新的技能。
Reflective and spiritual
Even if you would never describe yourself as “religious”, you still have a spiritual side – and many of us neglect to nurture this.
反省的時間：就算你會自命“沒有信仰”，但也不要忘記關注自己的內心世界。
Restful and relaxing
Time to rest and relax, however, is when we simply give our minds a break! On a very basic level, rest time means getting enough sleep – something which many of us don’t do.
休息的時間：休息和放鬆的時間指的是讓大腦休息，最簡單的就是睡覺了。
