[1] Do you spend an hour a week reading junk mail1? That’s 60 minutes that you could spend reading a good book, or maybe even writing a book. Do you spend five hours a week watching sitcoms2 on TV? That’s nearly 300 minutes you could spend polishing up3 your English or taking your family to the park. Here are a few tips to find extra time:
[2] Organize your day. Make a checklist4 of the work you need to get done every day. Be realistic when writing the list, and then stick to it. When you’ve finished the day’s tasks, you may find some time left to pursue those extra activities. Also, a daily planner is nice for helping you remember activities scheduled in advance.
[3] Set goals. Decide on some short-term and long-term goals for your time. Write these goals down and put them where you will see them every day. By setting goals, you can quickly identify what activities are not contributing to your overall plan.
[4] Make healthy decisions. Eat quality food, get plenty of sleep, and exercise regularly. Yes, this will consume a few of your precious minutes. But you’ll also have more energy. That means you’ll be more likely to spend your evenings productively5 instead of collapsing6 in front of the TV.

[1] 你每个星期花一小时的时间看垃圾邮件吗?那60分钟你可以用来看一本好书,或甚至写一本书。你每个星期花5个小时看电视情景喜剧吗?那将近300分钟的时间可以用来增进你的英文能力或带家人去公园。这里有一些小秘方可以帮助你找到额外的时间:
[2] 计划你的每一天。列出你每天必须完成的事。列表的时候要合乎实际,然后坚持完成。当你做完当天的事,你也许会有剩余的时间去做其他想做的事。另外,一本每日计划表可以帮你记住事先计划好要做的事情。
[3] 拟定目标。替你自己的时间决定一些短期及长期目标。写下这些目标,将它放在你每天都可以看到的地方。设定目标将让你很快地看到哪些活动对你完成整个计划没有作用。
[4] 作健康的决定。吃得好、睡得够,并经常运动。当然这会花掉你一些宝贵的时间。但是你会更有精力。如此一来你可能更有效地利用晚上的时间,而不至于瘫在电视机前面无所事事。
