开心地结束一天工作

There is no better feeling than walking away from your desk in the evening with a sense of deep satisfaction for a job well done.

没有比顺利完成工作下班更有满足感的事情了。

In fact, an entire crappy and unproductive day can end strong with just 15 hyper-productive minutes. Here are five ways to help you do just that:

实际上，充分利用15分钟就能够把蹩脚低效的一天变得熠熠生辉。下面向大家介绍轻松下班5步走。

1. Empty your inbox.

1. 清空收件箱。

Productivity experts will tell you that keeping your inbox empty makes you dramatically more effective. You will find that an empty inbox late in the day will give you a strong sense of accomplishment and order in your life. If you want an empty inbox, it means everything is in a designated spot: either in the trash, in my calendar, or forwarded to someone else.

生产力研究专家会告诉你，清空收件箱可以让你的工作效率大大提高。在一天的结束前，当你发现自己的收件箱已经是空的，那么你就会有很强烈的成就感和秩序感。如果你想要清空收件箱，这就意味着你的邮件有这几个去处：要么在垃圾箱，要么在议事日程里，要么转交给别人。

2. Determine what will make tomorrow special.

2. 确定什么才会让明天更特别。

Plan out at the end of the day what will make tomorrow truly significant. What one accomplishment will make the entire day worthwhile?

今天结束为明天做好计划能够产生非凡作用。什么样的成就才能让一整天都有价值呢？

3. Eat a frog.

3. "吃青蛙"。

Mark Twain suggested that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, nothing else throughout your day could possibly be so bad. I agree, but the advice also holds true for the last thing you do before you go home.

马克•吐温曾说过，如果你一大早吃一只青蛙，那么这一天内就没有什么糟糕的事情了。这个建议也适用于你下班前做的最后一件事。

If you leave a nagging and undesirable task until the next day, you will walk away from your desk with a dark cloud hanging over you and a sense of dread. On the other hand, handle the task before you leave, (get it out of your life) and you will walk away with a feeling of freedom and victory!

如果你把最烦人最不想完成的任务留到第二天才做，即使你离开了办公室，你的办公桌上还会笼罩着一朵乌云，伴随着阴森的恐怖感，让你无法放松。不过如果你在下班前把这些任务都完成了（或解决了），你就会充满自由感和胜利感！

4. Do something nice for someone else.

4. 与人为善。

The key here is intentionality. Plan to end your day by doing something specific and beneficial for someone in your life -- a coworker, friend, family member, client, etc. It is impossible to do something nice for someone without feeling better yourself.

关键在于意图。在一天之末为别人做点有意义的事情，无论是同事，朋友，家人，还是客户。如果你对自己的感觉不好，就很难为别人把事情做好。

5. Say thank you.

5. 道谢。

Take a moment before you shut things down for the day to thank God for your very life. Regardless of what else has happened in a day, ending it with thanks is a rewarding approach. When you go big picture with gratitude, you get a new perspective on the grievances of any given day.

在完成任务前找一个时机感谢每天所遇到的事情。无论这一天还遇到了什么事情，以一种获得经验的心态感谢它是不错的选择。当你常怀感恩之心，你就会以新的评价角度看待所遭遇的不顺。
