開心地結束一天工作
There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done.
沒有比順利完成工作下班更有滿足感的事情了。
In fact, an entire crappy and unproductive day can end strong with just 15 hyper-productive minutes. Here are five ways to help you do just that:
實際上，充分利用15分鐘就能夠把蹩腳低效的一天變得熠熠生輝。下面向大家介紹輕鬆下班5步走。
1. Empty your inbox.
1. 清空收件箱。
Productivity experts will tell you that keeping your inbox empty makes you dramatically more effective. You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox, it means everything is in a designated spot: either in the trash, in my calendar, or forwarded to someone else.
生產力研究專家會告訴你，清空收件箱可以讓你的工作效率大大提高。在一天的結束前，當你發現自己的收件箱已經是空的，那麼你就會有很強烈的成就感和秩序感。如果你想要清空收件箱，這就意味着你的郵件有這幾個去處：要麼在垃圾箱，要麼在議事日程裏，要麼轉交給別人。
2. Determine what will make tomorrow special.
2. 確定什麼纔會讓明天更特別。
Plan out at the end of the day what will make tomorrow truly significant. What one accomplishment will make the entire day worthwhile?
今天結束爲明天做好計劃能夠產生非凡作用。什麼樣的成就才能讓一整天都有價值呢？
3. Eat a frog.
3. "吃青蛙"。
Mark Twain suggested that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad. I agree, but the advice also holds true for the last thing you do before you go home.
馬克•吐溫曾說過，如果你一大早吃一隻青蛙，那麼這一天內就沒有什麼糟糕的事情了。這個建議也適用於你下班前做的最後一件事。
If you leave a nagging and undesirable task until the next day, you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of dread. On the other hand, handle the task before you leave, (get it out of your life) and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory!
如果你把最煩人最不想完成的任務留到第二天才做，即使你離開了辦公室，你的辦公桌上還會籠罩着一朵烏雲，伴隨着陰森的恐怖感，讓你無法放鬆。不過如果你在下班前把這些任務都完成了（或解決了），你就會充滿自由感和勝利感！
4. Do something nice for someone else.
4. 與人爲善。
The key here is intentionality. Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life -- a coworker, friend, family member, client, etc. It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself.
關鍵在於意圖。在一天之末爲別人做點有意義的事情，無論是同事，朋友，家人，還是客戶。如果你對自己的感覺不好，就很難爲別人把事情做好。
5. Say thank you.
5. 道謝。
Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to thank God for your very life. Regardless of what else has happened in a day, ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach. When you go big picture with gratitude, you get a new perspective on the grievances of any given day.
在完成任務前找一個時機感謝每天所遇到的事情。無論這一天還遇到了什麼事情，以一種獲得經驗的心態感謝它是不錯的選擇。當你常懷感恩之心，你就會以新的評價角度看待所遭遇的不順。
