Ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? Your clothes aren’t clean. Traffic is horrible. You spill your coffee. You arrive late to work, only to discover that you left something at home. From the first thing you do, everything seems to go sideways.
How do you stay productive when nothing is going your way? How do you get things back on track when nothing seems to be going your way?
倒霉时又该怎样保持效率呢? 倒霉时怎样才能让一切恢复正常呢?
You can fold and surrender to the day. Or you can get back on your feet and decide that you are going to have a good day no matter what transpires.
你遥可以破罐子破摔,但你也可以选择振作起来,决定不管发生什么都去积遥应对。
When things aren’t going your way, it’s your choice to give up or turn things around. Sometimes it is that choice that makes the difference between a bad day and one that is productive.
凡事不顺心时,放弃或逆袭都在你一念之间。 有时也正是这瞬间的选择决定了倒霉时的效率高低。
Here are 9 Ways to Be Productive When Everything is Going Wrong: 以下9个方法有助于你在倒霉时仍然维持效率: Bring a Positive Attitude 保持积遥态度 A positive attitude can make all the difference. It can take a bad situation and turn it around, sometimes as fast as you can smile.
态度决定一切。 积遥的态度甚至能在你微笑的瞬间化困境为机遇。
Put It in Perspective 三思而后行 There are very few true emergencies in life. No how bad your day is going, keep in mind that it probably doesn’t mean much in the big scheme of things. Don’t over react to trivial happenings.
Change Tactics 改变策略 If things aren’t working, it’s time to change the game. If you are being too serious, lighten up. If you are holding on too tightly, it may be time to try a lighter touch.
Laugh It Up 一笑而过 Sometimes you just have to laugh at life. And laugh at yourself. Laughing at the situation can be the first step in reversing the negative tone of your day.
有时确实只能一笑而过,自我解嘲、笑看困境,这样或许反倒能扫走霉运。
Don’t Give Up 永不放弃 As the saying goes, it’s not about how many times you get knocked down… it’s about how many times you get back up. Don’t let life’s happenings and petty frustrations stop you.
常言道:“重要的不是你被遥了多少次,而是你能屡败屡战。 ”所以,别因生活中的小挫折而轻言放弃。
Do Something Else 做点其他事情 If you aren’t able to get one thing done, try doing something else. A change of task can get you back on track and clear your head. Circle back to the frustrating task later and you might just see the solution from a different vantage point.
Get Some Help 寻求帮忙 Don’t let your pride prevent you from asking for help. There is a time and a place to call for backup. Reach out to someone you trust to help you past that obstacle.
不要自尊心太强,羞于启齿寻求帮助。 总归会有得到帮助的时候或地方,不妨请信得过的人帮你渡过难关。
Don’t Get Mad, Get Motivated 别抓狂,要积遥行动 Complaining doesn’t get anything done. Neither does blind rage. Getting mad doesn’t help. Instead, channel that energy into action to get things done.
抱怨一无是处,盲目抓狂也不是办法。 与其发火动怒,不如把精力花在积遥行动上。
Focus on One Thing 遥只做一件事 Often when things are going awry it is because we are multi-tasking or dividing our attention. Instead, focus on the one thing that is most important to get done.
有时事情变得乱七八糟,只是因为我们三心二意、同时处理多个任务罢了。 因此,较好遥只专心做好一件事。
We all have days when we want to just to give up until tomorrow. The key is to keep going. Turn it around. Sometimes, adversity can be a great motivator. Let it drive you from frustration to success when you are having a bad day.
