英语美文阅读：提高生活质量应做好11个方面 Ever heard the statement less is more? Is that a reality in your life or is that an area you are struggling with? Below are 11 different areas you can look at in your life to start to reduce as you focus on building a better life. 应该都听过“少而精”这种说法吧？这是你的生活现实，还是某个你正在努力达成的方面呢？你可以对照自己的生活看看以下11个方面，然后开始精简，努力创造更美好的生活。 Your Stuff（你的物品） I call it stuff vs possessions. Stuff is what adds clutter in your life. It could be shoes, curios from the cute store in your town or excess appliances you need to throw out but never do. What is it that is overtaking your house that if you moved away you wouldn’t need it at all? Plan a Sunday afternoon throw out session. If throwing out doesn’t sit right then give it away to goodwill. 我说的是“物品”，而非“财产”，物品使生活杂乱。这既可以是鞋子、从城里精品店买的小摆设，也可能是你应该扔掉但从未舍得的多余电器。是什么霸占了你的屋子，并且如果扔掉也并不可惜？腾出一个周日下午，处理掉这些物品吧。如果扔掉有些可惜，那就好心捐出去。 Your Acquaintances（你认识的人 ） How many people are you interacting with throughout the week that don’t leave you feeling good about yourself? Who inspires you? Spend time with those people. Too often we keep people in our lives that we are no longer a fit for. Having too many old acquaintances adds to the excess in your life. If the relationship isn’t a win-win for you both then take a step back and focus on those that do. 你每周要接触多少给你带来消极情绪的人？想想谁又能给你鼓励？请多跟这样的人相处吧。我们常常把那些不太合拍的人留在身边太久。老熟人太多，生活也越有负担。如果对双方而言都不是双赢关系，那么请退出一步，把精力放在能够带来双赢关系的人身上吧。 Your Goals（你的目标） Motivated to write out your list of goal for the next month or 3 months? That is awesome. Just a few works of caution. Don’t write down too many. Often people write down over ten goals. The brain can only remember so much and the reality is you won’t get to them all. I suggest you look at your goals with the mindset of single digits. No more than ten, but ideally less than five. Keep the list focused and realistic. 你斗志昂扬，要列出下个月甚至后3个月的目标清单？这确实很不错，但还是要提醒你几句。目标不要列太多。一般人们会定下10个以上的目标。大脑只能记住这么多目标，但现实是你不可能实现所有目标。建议你还是将目标控制在个位数以内，不要超过10个，最好少于5个。让目标专一并且容易实现。 Your Commitments（你的承诺）
