1. Check for eyestrain by putting your hand to your forehead in a salute. If your eyes feel relieved, your work space is too bright.

檢查是否有眼疲勞。方法是將手放在前額呈敬禮狀。如果這時候你的眼睛感到放松，那么你的辦公空間就太明亮了。

2. Sit up straight with your shoulders down — every time I adjust my sitting position, I instantly feel more energetic and cheerier.

坐直、放下肩膀——每當我調整完坐姿，會立刻感到更有精神和更愉快。

3. Get a phone headset. I resisted for a long time, because it looks so preposterous, but it's really much more comfortable. Also, it lets me pace while I talk on the phone, which also looks preposterous, but is energizing.

戴上電話耳機。我對此抗拒了很長時間，因為這樣看上去很傻，可其實卻很舒適。而且，它讓我在打電話的時候能踱步子，雖然這也很傻，可是卻提神。

4. Don't keep candy on your desk. Studies show that people are much more likely to snack when a treat is within easy reach, and a handful of M&Ms each day could mean a weight gain of five pounds by year's end.

不要在桌子上放糖果。研究表明，如果零食在隨手可得的范圍內，那么吃零食的可能性會大大增加。每天吃一把巧克力豆，到了年末體重可能會增加5磅。

5. Never say "yes" on the phone; instead, say, "I'll get back to you." When you're actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say "yes" without enough consideration. Along the same lines...

絕對不要在電話上說“好”，而是說：“等一會兒再和你聯系”。當你和某人交談時，會有很強的迎合沖動，而且會讓你不經充分考慮就答應對方。同理.....

6. When deciding whether to say "yes", imagine that you're accepting a job that you'll have to do next week. Don't agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn't seem onerous.

當你決定要不要說“是”的時候，把它想象成這是一件你在下周就得要做的任務。別僅僅因為它似乎看上去很遙遠而且繁重，所以你就去答應。
