沒時間去度假嗎？安排一個小憩吧

計畫度假會讓人筋疲力盡，這就是為什麼“小憩”如此有用。例如，短途旅行，兩到三天的時間，去當地的某個地方可以幫助你放鬆，而不需要太多的計畫或後勤。如果一個較長的旅程對你來說是不現實的話，一個小憩也是有用的。

為了讓時間盡可能地新鮮，星期五早點離開城鎮，這樣你就有額外的一天去探索這個地區。或者，你可能只休一天假，然後用它和朋友重新聯系，會見一些人吃午飯，在他們結束工作日之後與他人聚會。

這些短暫的休息可能不會帶來大假期的所有好處，當你可以完全中斷一兩個星期的時間，但是它們仍然給你一種“有空間呼吸”的感覺——你可以更經常地去休假。

No Time for a Vacation? Take a Minibreak

Planning for a vacation can be exhausting, which is why shorter “minibreaks” are so useful. For example, taking a short trip, two to three days long, to somewhere local can help you relax without requiring a lot of planning or logistics. (A minibreak is also useful if a longer trip just isn’t practical for you right now.)

To make the time as refreshing as possible, leave town early on Friday so that you have an extra day to explore the area. Or you might take a single vacation day and use it to reconnect with friends, meeting some for lunch and getting together with others after they finish their workday.

These short breaks may not have all the benefits of a big vacation, when you can completely disconnect for a week or two, but they still give you the feeling of having “room to breathe” — and you can take them a lot more often.

與其抱怨同事，不如和他們談談

老實說：有時候抱怨同事感覺很好。但是，雖然它有助於你釋放壓抑的情緒，但發洩只是一種橫向的作為。換句話說，我們通常向朋友或同事抱怨，我們很少面對我們抱怨的人。所以下次你要抱怨的時候，試著把它帶到問題的根源。

比如說，一個同事在開會時大喊大叫。你的第一本能可能是向另一比特同事抱怨他們粗魯的行為。取而代之的是，花些時間冷靜下來。想想到底是什麼困擾了你，你想抱怨什麼（在會議中大喊大叫和不尊重別人是不好的）。

决定你能做些什麼來改變這個人的行為或改善這種情況（也許說，“請不要在會議中大聲喊叫——讓我們在談話中互相尊重”）。然後找時間跟他談談。

Instead of Complaining About a Colleague, Talk to Them

Let’s be honest: Sometimes complaining about a coworker feels good. But although it helps you release pent-up emotions, venting is a sideways move. In other words, we usually complain to a friend or colleague — and we rarely confront the person we’re complaining about. So the next time you want to complain, try taking it to the source of the problem.

For example, let’s say a coworker yells in a meeting. Your first instinct might be to complain to another colleague about their brash behavior. Instead, take some time to calm down. Think about exactly what bothered you and what you want to complain about (it’s not OK to yell and disrespect others in a meeting).

Decide what you can do to shift the person’s behavior or improve the situation (perhaps saying, “Please don’t shout in meetings — let’s respect each other in our conversations”). And then follow through by speaking to the person later.
