下定决心每周要留出一天来休息。
在房间里看日光变幻,看花朵舒展,让时间在琴键上流淌,慢慢地做一顿可口的饭菜。
这是我想要坚持的事。
I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal. A day when one has not pushed oneself to the limit seems a damaged, damaging day, a sinful day. Not so! The most valuable thing one can do for the psyche, occasionally, is to let it rest, wander, live in the changing light of a room.
May Sarton
我总是忘记空闲的日子有多重要,有时不期望产生任何东西,甚至包括在日记中写几行字。当一个人没有把自己推到极限的一天似乎是一个受损的、有害的、罪恶的一天。不是这样的!对于心灵来说,最有价值的事情就是偶尔让它休息、漫游、生活在房间里变化的光线中。
Many of our most productively creative thoughts take place when our minds are allowed to wander. There’s a reason for the old adage that “the history of innovation is the bed, the bus, and the bathtub.” Undirected mind wandering is a valuable means by which the brain explores connections between information and experiences.
Innovators need to be equally rigorous about carving out time to disconnect and allow their minds to wander in order to realize the new connections the inputs they’ve collected represent. To connect, you’ve got to collect and reflect. So when you’re auditing your calendar, take a critical look at how you spend your free time. Are you filling it with mindless consumption, or are you carving out space to let your mind wander?
Jeremy Utley
许多我们最具生产力的创造性想法都发生在我们的思维被允许漫游的时候。有个古老格言说得好:“创新的历史发生在床上、公共汽车上和浴缸里。”无目标的思维漫游是大脑探索信息和经验之间联系的有价值方式。
创新者同样需要严格划定时间来与外界断联,让思维自由漫游,以便实现他们所收集的输入所代表的新联系。要进行连接,就必须进行收集和反思。所以当你审查你的日程安排时,要批判性地看待你如何利用你的空闲时间。你是用它来进行毫无意义的消费,还是留出空间让思维漫游?

你周围有什么是你不喜欢的?把它打包,送人,为你真正渴望的美好腾出空间。
你在做的有什么事情是你不喜欢的?放弃它们,为让自己真正快乐的事情留出时间。不要拿自己热爱的活动换取自己并不重视的奖励。
你周围有哪些人不能让你开心?远离他们。留下更多的时间和精力给那些真正让你放松和开心的人。
在生活工作,物质或者精神上,我们都需要做一次整理。只留下让我们感到快乐的。让我们的人生在快乐的叠加中绽放。
For the only things we have in our life are those things that we love or are in harmony with. What do you have lying around you that you really don't like? Then ask yourself why don't you just package it up, give it away, and make space for the good that you really do desire. You must continually be "making space" for the good which you desire.
Bob Proctor You were born rich
整理是一次自我发现之旅,当你逐一面对自己拥有的每件物品,问自己它能否让你怦然心动,或能否带来欢乐的未来时,就会渐渐认清自己真正想要的是什么,什么东西能带给你欢乐。整理完毕后,你的心态、做法和选择都会发生改变。
怎么样才能让工作充满欢乐?关键就在于多花时间在能让你心动的事上,少花时间在无法让你心动的事上。
