【赫临译笔】工作快乐 - 心云驛站

如果在公司中，你只是个资历较浅的雇员，尽管角色很重要，却总是难于被赏识。你可能会面对下列挑战：

一方面，你想要参与有益的，愉快的且有成就感的工作，因自己的努力得到认可和提升，因自己在公司中的重要作用而被赏识。

另一方面，你想要一种平衡的生活，有时间做自己真正想做的事情，使自己的社交生活丰富而有趣。当然你还想要分清自己的事业以及工作职责，继续保持健康，迷人，无忧无虑。

那么，最好的方法是什么？怎样才能像禅宗一样快乐地工作呢？

解决这些貌似矛盾的挑战的方案是弄清你对自己工作的喜爱程度。你所从事的是否是每天清晨从床上跳起来最想做的事情。

你对自己工作的积极性有多高？你怎样应付办公室的常规工作？

去年，英国所做的一份调查发现有三分之二的人不满足于自己的工作。我相信美国和其它发达国家的情况大致相当。这意味着人们或者对寻找自己真正喜欢的工作很漠然，或者屈服于现状。

无论你的生活中其它方面诸如家庭，社交和两人关系有多好，工作是你生活的主要方面，不容忽视。

既然你此刻选择了自己所从事的工作，就应该尽你所能把它做好。当然，从长远看，你可能改换工作，甚至开始一种新的生涯。但此时此刻，你应该对自己正在从事的工作倾注更多的爱。

假设你短期内没有能力改换自己的工作，你可以做几件事来使自己从目前的工作中得到更多享受。问自己一个问题：是工作还是自己，能使目前的工作更令人享受？

不要再扮演受害者。对你生活负责的应该是你自己。如果不能立刻改换所从事的工作，那么你就应该尽力把它做好。

下面是如何做才能享受目前工作的一些简单技巧。

一．在上班的路上，使自己积极面对这一天。思考一下工作给你提供了哪些工作以外的好处，比如说扩大了交际面。积极的态度能够使这一天过得更加愉快和富有成效。

二．正确看待自己的工作。在每种情况下，你所做的只能是尽力而为。超越自己，超越工作，考虑到更广阔的前景。做一些志愿工作，以获得更开阔的视野。找一个方法贡献社会。

三．记住你不仅仅有工作。不要过度依赖工作。不要继续考虑你应该以什么样的方式进行工作和生活。家长和老师给你制定的工作期望会阻止你从目前的工作中享受到乐趣。

四．规划时间。你的待做清单应包括长期项目和需要即时处理的事情。把待做清单排序，最重要的事情优先做。做每一项任务时，先问问自己，现在是不是最佳时间？安排出足够的时间用于学习，等等。

五．把注意力集中到手头的工作上。不要因担心其它待做的事情而让自己分心，也不要因你所处的不尽如人意的局面而消耗自己的精力。活在当下。

对自己不要太仁慈，在一项任务有可能进入拖延清单前，就要把它处理掉。例如，每日清晨的邮件要一次性分门别类，即刻打开，发送，回复或删除。

六．在任何时候都要弄清你没有把握的事情和你所面对的互相矛盾的要求。从长远来看，你与经理和同事的关系越明确，越坦率，对你就越有利。

七．合适时授权。决定是否有的事可以授权，把它交给别人做是否更加公平。总是遵循“三D”法则，即：处理，放弃或者授权---绝不两次拿起同一张纸片。

八．定时休息。离开你的工作场所，哪怕只有五分钟。尝试放下手提电脑和邮件，彻底把手机抛在脑后。确保自己的午休时间---因为午休不仅仅是为了吃饭，还是为了呼吸一口新鲜空气，使大脑得到休息。

要吃健康的午餐，如果一定要吃零食，也要吃健康食品，吃一个苹果而不是一袋薯条。寻找一些除肾上腺素和咖啡因以外的方式唤起自己充沛的精力。

九．无论工作变得多有挑战性，老板变得多刁钻刻薄，都要学会放松自己。一天结束了，这只不过是一份工作，自己绝不仅仅只有工作。在未来的岁月里，要回顾一下。弄清自己忙了些什么。

十．协助创造一个舒适的工作环境。不要在办公室里说长道短，这只能无事生非。也不要听信任何传言。把与自己没有共鸣或自己不喜欢的人在一起的时间降到最短。

学会在工作中寻求更多开心。要多笑，要放松。以一种以娱乐为导向的方式工作。

十一．回家之前检查一下这一天的工作。看看哪些做得不错，哪些可以明天改进。如果感觉满意，为什么不过一会儿奖励自己一下呢？这是你应得的。

十二．一旦下班，就别再牵挂工作了。你已经把三分之一的时间都用于工作了，因此，在你理应自由的时间里，就不要再让工作占据你的头脑了。下班回家的那一刻，从精神上向工作场所说声“再见”。

视工作为游戏。生活是有趣的，如果你在把三分之一的时间投入工作，你不妨享受工作这个游戏。

If you are a relatively junior employee at your company, though you carry out a very important role, you may not always be recognised. You might also face some of the following challenges:

You are therefore faced with a number of dilemmas in your workplace.

On the one handyou want to be involved in rewarding, enjoyable and fulfilling work, get recognition and promotion for your efforts, and be appreciated for the key role you play in the company.

On the other hand you want a balanced life with time for the things you really want to do with a full and interesting social life. Of course you want to have clarity about your career, job duties and you want to continue to be healthy, fit and stress free.

So what’s the best way forward?! How can you too achieve a zen like Happiness at work?

One key to resolving these seemingly conflicting challenges is to get clear about just how much you love the work you do. Is what you do something you jump out of bed every morning, or would you rather be doing something else?

How motivated are you with your work? And how do you cope with the day to day routine office work?

A UK survey last year found that almost 2 out of 3 people are dissatisfied with their jobs. And I am sure there is a similar situation in the USA and other parts of the developed world. This means that they are either apathetic about finding wha tthey really love doing or they are resigned to being in this situation.

No matter how good things are in other parts of your life such as family, social life and work is a major part of your life, and not to be neglected.

Since for now you have chosen to be in the job you are in, it is up to you for the time being to make the most of what you do. Of course in the long term, you can either change your job or even embark on a new career. But for now, you can get to love more of what you do right now.

Assuming that in the short term you are not able to change jobs, there are a number of things you can do to begin enjoying more of what you currently do. Ask yourself - is it the job or is it you? And what can you do to make your current work more enjoyable?

Stop acting the victim. YOU are responsible for your life and if you can’t immediately change the job you are in, then it is up to you to make the most of it.

Here are some simple tips for getting to enjoy your current job.

1. On the way toy our workplace, get yourself motivated to face the day. Think of how the work you have allows you to have your life outside of it, such as a great social life. A positive attitude will make the day more pleasant and productive.

2. Keep your workin perspective. You can only do the best you can in each situation. Look beyond yourself and your work, and consider the bigger picture. Do some voluntary work to gain a broader outlook. Find a way to contribute to society in general.

3. Remember that you are more than your work. Do not have your identity too strongly tied to the job you do. Give up thinking that your work life “should” be a certain way.Such expectations of what you were supposed to be, as set by your parents and teachers, stop you from enjoying what you currently do.

4. Plan your time.In your to-do list include long term projects as well as the more imminent things that need doing. Prioritize your to-do list - do the most important things first. When performing any task, ask yourself - is this the best use ofmy time? Schedule in enough time for your studies etc.

5. Concentrate on the task at hand. Do not let yourself be distracted by worrying about all the other things to be done or losing energy over the undesirable situation you find yourself in. Stay in the moment.

Be ruthless and take care of a task before it gets on a possible procrastination list. For example, sort your morning post immediately in one go – open it, file it, acton it or bin it there and then.

6. Clarify anytime you are not sure or where you are faced with conflicting demands. The more clear and upfront you are with your manager and the other people you work with,the better it will be for you in the long term.

7. Delegate wherever appropriate. Decide if there is anything that can be delegated, or that more fairly belongs to someone else’s work load. Always remember the “3D”rule – do it, dump it or delegate it - never handle a piece of paper twice.

8. Have regular breaks. Get away from your normal workplace even if only for five minutes. Try taking a break from the laptop , emails and do leave the mobile behind. Make sure that you do have that lunch break – it is not just for food but also for fresh air and a mental break.

Eat a healthy lunch and if you must snack, make sure it is healthy too – an apple rather than a bag of chips. Look for ways of energizing yourself other than from adrenaline and caffeine.

9. Learn to relax no matter how challenging the work gets or how demanding your bosses become. Atthe end of the day it is only a job, and you are much more than that. In years to come, you will look back and wonder what the fuss was.

10. Contribute towards creating a pleasant work environment. Do not gossip in the office as it just creates negativity all around. Do not listen to any gossip either.Minimize your time with people that you do not resonate with or like.

Learn to have more fun at work. Laugh more and chill out. Perform with a more fun orientated approach.

11. Review your day before you leave for Home. Look at what worked well, and what could be improved the next day. If you feel satisfied with the day’s work, then why not reward yourself later that day. You deserve it.

12. Switch off once you leave work. You are already at work a third of your time, so do not continue to keep it buzzing in your head during your supposed free time.Mentally say good bye to your work space the moment you leave for Home.

See your work as a game. Life is meant to be fun and if you are going to spend a third of it at work, you might as well enjoy the game.
