體驗不同的生活方式
Do one thing at a time. Single-task, don’t multi-task. When you’re pouring water, just pour water. When you’re eating, just eat. When you’re bathing, just bathe. Don’t try to knock off a few tasks while eating or bathing.
一次只做一件事。一次只做一件，不做多件任務。當你在倒水的時候，就只倒水；當你吃東西的時候，就只吃東西；當你洗澡的時候，就只洗澡。不要企圖在吃飯或洗澡的時候完成一些其他的任務。
Do it completely. Put your mind completely on the task. Don’t move on to the next task until you’re finished. If, for some reason, you have no choice but to move on to something else, try to at least put away the unfinished task and clean up after yourself. If you prepare a sandwich, don’t start eating it until you’ve put away the stuff you used to prepare it, wiped down the counter, and washed the dishes used for preparation. Then you’re done with that task, and can focus more completely on the next task.
把事情做完。把你的精力完全的放 到工作上。在完成一件任務之前不要去做下一件。假如由於某種原因，你不得不去做其他的事情，那麼至少試着把這件沒有完成的任務放在一邊，並在事後處理好它。如果你要做一個三明治，不要吃它，直到你把做時候的準備材料收拾好了，把桌子擦乾淨了，把做時候的碟碗洗好了。然後你處理好了這件事情可以更好的集中 精力做下一件事情了。
Do less. If you do less, you can do those things more slowly, more completely and with more concentration. If you fill your day with tasks, you will be rushing from one thing to the next without stopping to think about what you do.
少做事。假如少做些，就可以更慢，更徹底，更集中精力的去做這些事情；假如一天工作塞得滿滿的，就會從一件事衝到下一件事，而不考慮自己在幹些什麼。
Put space between things. It’s a way of managing your schedule so that you always have time to complete each task. Don’t schedule things close together — instead, leave room between things on your schedule. That gives you a more relaxed schedule, and leaves space in case one task takes longer than you planned.
事情間要留點空隙。這一條是一種控制計劃的方式，以便總有時間完成每一件任務。不要把事情都堆到一起---相反，要在計劃中給每兩件事情之間留出空間。這會是一種更寬鬆的計劃，留出空間以防完成任務的時間按比計劃的要長。Develop rituals. Ritual gives something a sense of importance — if it’s important enough to have a ritual, it’s important enough to be given your entire attention, and to be done slowly and correctly.
培養儀式。禮儀能給人一種重要感，假如事情的重要度足以有禮儀，那麼它也足以吸取你全部注意力，並且慢慢的準確的去完成。
Designate time for certain things. This ensures that those things get done regularly. You can designate time for your own activities, whether that can be work or cleaning or exercise or quiet contemplation. If it’s important enough to do regularly, consider designating a time for it.
特定的時間做特定的事情。你可以爲自己的活動設定時間按，不管是工作，洗刷，運動或者沉思。如果事情很重要需要經常做，考慮爲其設定一個時間。
Devote time to sitting. This meditation is really practice for learning to be present.
致力於靜坐。沉思是學習立於現世的一種習俗。
Make cleaning and cooking become meditation. If cooking and cleaning seem like boring chores to you, try doing them as a form of meditation. Put your entire mind into those tasks, concentrate, and do them slowly and completely. It could change your entire day (as well as leave you with a cleaner house).
使洗刷和做飯也變成沉思。把你全部的精力都放到這些事情上，集中精力，慢慢的去做，做的徹底些。這會改變你一天的狀況（也會給你留下一個乾淨的房間）
Think about what is necessary. It serves as a reminder that there is much in our lives that aren’t necessary, and it can be useful to give some thought about what we really need, and whether it is important to have all the stuff we have that’s not necessary.
考慮一下什麼是必要的。這提醒了我們生活中有很多是沒有必要的，要是能思考一下我們到底需要什麼以及我們擁有這些沒必要的東西是否很重要，這將會是很有益處的。
