我們最常用的十二種時間管理謊言
When it comes to time, we are all guilty of telling ourselves little white lies.
涉及到時間的時候，我們會爲自己撒的善意謊言感到愧疚。
Sometimes we tell big whoppers, too
有時候我們也會撒彌天大謊。
I don’t have enough time… I’ll get to it later… maybe someday…
我沒有足夠的時間…我待會兒就做…或許某天…
What are you saying to yourself?
你又會對你自己說什麼呢？
Deceiving Ourselves
欺騙我們自己
It’s easy to lie to ourselves. We feel it is harmless because we think it only affects us. (Which is not true…) And after all, it’s pretty easy to forgive oneself.
我們很容易自欺欺人。我們覺得謊言不會造成任何傷害，只會對我們自己造成影響。（然而這是錯誤的…） 畢竟，我們都很容易原諒自己。
But, these deceptions, both small and large, have impacts that control our lives.
然而，這些或大或小的欺騙都會影響甚至支配我們的生活。
Perhaps, the biggest self lie ever told is, “I don’t have time.”Followed closely by, “I can’t do that.”
也許，曾經我們隊自己撒的最大的謊言是，“我沒有時間”。緊接着就是，“我做不了，我不能做”
What lies are you telling?
你對自己撒過什麼謊呢？
The Lies We Tell Ourselves
我們對自己說的謊言
When you are trying to get things done, when you are trying to reach your goals, take a hard look at the things you are telling yourself.
當你在努力完成工作的時候，當你在努力達到目標的時候，請認真思考一下你告訴自己的事兒。
Many times, we are self-limiting based on statements that are simply not true.
很多時候，我們會因爲一些不真實的報告而約束了自我。
Here are the Top 12 Time Management Lies That We Tell Ourselves:
這裏列出了我們最常用的十二種時間管理謊言：1.I don’t have time. - Yes, you do have time. The same in the day as everyone else. You have just chosen to spend it elsewhere.
1.我沒有時間- 錯，其實你有時間。每個人的一天都是一樣的，你只是選擇把它花在了其他的地方。
2.I have to do this. - The next time you say this, ask yourself, “What would happen if I didn't do this?” Many of the things we take for granted as “must do” are only required because we let them be.
2.我不得不做這個—下次你再說這樣的話的時候，問問你自己，“如果我不做這件事情，會發生什麼？”很多我們自然而然地覺得“必須做”的事情其實只是我們使之變成了必須做的事情。
3.I am going to exercise more. - I want to get into shape, but I don’t have time. You do have time to workout, you don’t have the will.
3.我將會做更多的鍛鍊。--我想塑造身材，但我沒有時間。其實你有時間鍛鍊，只是你沒有毅力完成它。
4.I am going to do it… - Stop saying. Start doing. There is a big difference between saying you are going to do something, and actually doing it. Action always beats empty words.
4.我準備去做了—停止用嘴巴說。開始行動。真正的付諸行動和說要去做之間是有很大差異的。行動總能戰勝空話（事實勝於雄辯）
5.When I have more time… - You have all the time you are going to have. You are not going to “have more” later. Truth be told, you don’t even know how much you have left. Just do it now.
5.等我有更多的時間…--你已經擁有所有的時間。之後你並不會有更多的時間。說實話，你自己都不知道你還剩下多少時間。 現在就開始行動吧。
6.When things settle down… - There is no normal life. Just life. Life is not going to suddenly calm down in the future so that you can do something new. Some of the best work is done under pressure and while things are busiest.
6.等事情都安定下來了…--沒有安定的生活直說。只有生活。生活不會在未來突然的變得平靜，因此你可以嘗試做一些新的東西。一些做的最好的工作往往是在壓力和最繁忙的狀態下完成的。
7.I’ll do it tomorrow… - Today is the day. Not tomorrow. Or the day after that. Stop putting off things until tomorrow. Let today be the day.
7.我明天再做—今天就是最好的選擇。而不是明天或者後天，停止把該做的事情推遲到明天。讓今天變成最好的一天。
8.I am not lucky…– If that is what you believe, then it will be so. However, you make your own luck. And the secret is, that the harder you work, the luckier you get. (True.) Don’t wait for luck to come your way, go out and find it.
8.我不幸運—如果這就是你所堅信的，那麼它將會成爲現實。然而，命運由你自己把握，而且祕訣是，你越努力工作，你就越幸運（真的。）不要等着幸運來找你，自己走出去發現它。
9.I can’t do that… - If you haven’t tried, then how do you know? We are all stronger than we think. Only by stretching yourself will you find that your boundaries are much larger you think.
9.我做不到—如果你沒有嘗試一下，你又怎麼知道你做不到呢？我們都比自己想象中的要強大。只有通過不斷地延伸你自己，你纔會發覺其實你的能力比你想象的大多了。
10.I am going to change…– Most people don’t change. They get older, maybe a little bigger. But, most do not change. Change is hard. So, don’t take it lightly when you “say” you are going to change. It takes concentrated effort and much discipline.
10．我會改—大多數人都不會改變。人們慢慢的變老，有可能身體變大了。但是，大體上是不會改變的。改變是很難的。所以，當你說你要改變的時候不要輕視它。因爲改變需要集中精力和很強的自制力。
11.I can get this done in an hour…– We often underestimate the time that tasks take. Have you ever pulled an all-nighter on a project that you thought we only take a few hours?
11.我能在1個小時內完成這項工作…--我們經常低估做任務所花費的時間。你有沒有曾經把整晚的時間花費在一個起初你認爲我們只需花費幾個小時就能搞定的項目上？
12.That deadline isn't important…– Many of us are numb to deadlines, thinking that they are not important. However, even if there is not an apparent consequence, there is always lost time and missed opportunities.
12.截止日期不重要—大部分人對截止日期是沒有任何感覺的，認爲它們並不重要。然後，儘管這樣做沒有很明顯的後果，但它會造成了時間的流失和機會的錯過。
