你如何保持自己一整天都充满动力？

You may find it helpful to enlist the tasks for your day. Working within a flexible schedule can be helpful. It may help to work towards challenging tasks at a time when you’re the most alx and productive. Remember that it’s important to take small breaks. This can help in preventing fatigue and exhaustion. Break large tasks into smaller and manageable ones. Further, keeping your goals in sight is helpful and can provide the necessary motivation required to take action.

你可能会发现列出一天的任务是有帮助的。在灵活的时间表内工作可能会有所帮助。在你最警觉和高效的时候处理具有挑战性的任务可能会有所帮助。记住，休息片刻是很重要的。这有助于防止疲劳和筋疲力尽。将大任务分解成更小、更易管理的任务。此外，时刻关注你的目标是有帮助的，并且可以提供采取行动所需的必要动力。

My top ten. I’ve learned from a hell of a lot of mistakes.

我的前十名。我从大量的错误中学到了很多。

Realize you won’t stay motivated every minute of everyday. Sometimes work just sucks. Get over it and keep going anyway.

意识到你不会在每一天的每一分钟都保持动力。有时候工作就是很糟糕。克服它，继续前进。

Picture in your mind the kind of life you want. What total success is for you in every area of your life. You need to imagine it to live it.

在脑海中描绘你想要的生活。对你来说，在生活的每个领域里，什么是全面的成功。你需要想象它，才能活出它。

Have someone you love to share it with. A spouse, kids, friends. Love is the greatest motivator.

有一个你爱的人可以与之分享。配偶、孩子、朋友。爱是最伟大的动力。

Set three things you can do today to move one step closer to your dream?

今天可以做三件事，让你离梦想更近一步？

Do it. Freaking stop day dreaming will you? ;-

别再做白日梦了，好吗？ ;-

Reward yourself when you’ve accomplished your three things. Go home a little early. Take your spouse out to dinner. Have a cocktail.

当你完成了三件事时，奖励一下自己。早点回家。带你的配偶出去吃晚餐。喝杯鸡尾酒。

Realize you’ll fail. If you don’t you’re not trying hard enough. Try something a little more interesting and risky.

意识到你会失败。如果你没有失败，说明你不够努力。尝试一些更有趣和冒险的事情。

When you fail congratulate yourself that now you know one more thing not to do. I have a whole list.

当你失败时，祝贺自己现在又知道了一件不该做的事。我有一整张清单。

When you succeed celebrate. Write it down to remind yourself. Remember it when you’re feeling down. Rejoice more than regret.

当你成功时，庆祝一下。把它写下来提醒自己。当你感到沮丧时，记住它。多些喜悦，少些遗憾。

If I can’t think of something funny I laugh at myself. That can keep me continually entertained.

如果我想不出什么有趣的事情，我会嘲笑自己。这可以让我一直保持娱乐。

You may not stay motivated every minute. Just stay motivated most of them.

你可能无法每分钟都保持动力。只要在大多数时间里保持动力即可。

How do you keep yourself motivated throughout the whole day?

你如何保持自己一整天都充满动力？

I do an introspection every night and in that I also think about the important activities for the next day. I mentally carve out an action plan for the tasks.

我每天晚上都会进行自我反省，并在其中思考第二天的重要活动。我会在脑海中为这些任务制定一个行动计划。

When I get up the next morning I recall my previous night’s plan. Then I reiterate the actions once again and make a priority list out of them with possible timelines. This determines my important actions for the day.

当我第二天早上起床时，我回想起前一天晚上的计划。然后我再次重申这些行动，并按照可能的时间线列出优先事项。这决定了我当天的重要行动。

I start to do some easy trivial tasks in the first hour of my work schedule and finish them. This gives me the satisfaction of completing something. This also gives me the motivation to take up the challenging or difficult tasks.

我在工作日程的第一个小时开始做一些简单琐碎的任务并完成它们。这让我感到完成某件事的满足感。这也给了我动力去承担具有挑战性或困难的任务。

I go for breakfast after the initial completion of small tasks. This is a reward for my morning accomplishments.

我在完成一些小任务后去吃早餐。这是对我早晨成就的奖励。

I take up the tough or difficult tasks in the morning after breakfast. I break it down to its elements and set timelines for completion. After completing each element I take a break for five minutes or take a walk around the office/ pantry room for water/ juice/ aromatic drink/or a small refreshment.

我在早餐后处理棘手的或困难的任务。我会将其分解成各个部分，并为完成每个部分设定时间表。完成每个部分后，我会休息五分钟，或者在办公室/茶水间周围走走，喝点水/果汁/芳香饮料或吃点小点心。

This way I do not feel like involved in a big task and hence easy to get motivated to complete part by part.

这样我就不会觉得自己参与了一个大任务，因此更容易被激励去逐步完成。

The hour following the lunch I won’t involve in serious activity but some mechanical activity not involving the brain or going through some less important mails and replying them. Also I will give time for interaction with my team and some useful discussions on some tasks.

午餐后的一小时，我不会参与严肃的活动，而是进行一些不需要大脑的机械活动，或者处理一些不太重要的邮件并回复它们。此外，我会留出时间与团队互动，并就一些任务进行有益的讨论。

Subsequently I continue my important tasks and concentrate on them. Here I give myself a challenge to complete the task before the scheduled working hours - like if there is a task involving 2 hours work, I break it down to every 30 minutes and try to finish in 3 stints. So this way I can complete the task as well as get ready for calling off the day.

随后，我继续我的重要任务并专注于它们。在这里，我给自己一个挑战，即在预定的工作时间之前完成任务——例如，如果有一个需要2小时工作的任务，我将其分解为每30分钟一次，并尝试在3个阶段内完成。这样，我既可以完成任务，也可以为结束一天做好准备。

I also breakdown my salary on an hourly basis and convince myself that I have earned this money without idling. This gives me enormous satisfaction.

我还将我的工资按小时细分，并说服自己这些钱是我通过努力工作赚来的，而不是无所事事。这给了我极大的满足感。

There must be something you want to change or add in your life, right? Everybody has goals like these. All you need to do is to start working upon them.

在你的生活中，一定有一些你想要改变或添加的东西，对吧？每个人都有这样的目标。你只需要开始着手实现它们。

Now I know it ain’t that easy. Infact keeping ourselves motivated throughout, I guess is one of the toughest things. I know watching motivational videos, listening to speeches of great personalities, reading thousands of motivational quotes also don’t help. They do help but sadly for a short period of time. Once they are out of our sight we are back to our normal self.

现在我知道这并不容易。事实上，我认为保持自我激励是最困难的事情之一。我知道观看励志视频、听伟大人物的演讲、阅读成千上万的励志名言也没有帮助。它们确实有帮助，但遗憾的是，它们的作用是短暂的。一旦它们从我们的视线中消失，我们就会恢复到正常状态。

As per my experience what I would suggest is just start. Just start from where ever you are. Take small steps but do take. Make an effort. Push yourself. Set a routine for yourself no matter what. Monotony in a routine dampens the will to keep going.

根据我的经验，我建议你立即开始。无论你身处何地，就从那里开始。迈出小步，但一定要迈出。努力一下，推动自己。无论如何，为自己设定一个例行程序。例行程序中的单调性会削弱继续前进的意志。

Start with small things like waking up early, going for a jog, brushing your teeth before sleeping, drinking milk everyday, practicing yoga and anything what you want to accomplish. Just do. Know one thing that nothing in life can be accomplished without hard - work and without leaving our comfort zone.

从小事做起，比如早起、去慢跑、睡前刷牙、每天喝牛奶、练习瑜伽以及任何你想完成的事情。只管去做。要知道，生活中没有什么是可以不通过努力和离开我们的舒适区就能完成的。

And see time will pass anyway. Its your choice to live a life being a mediocre or a person who lives on set of some defined principles for himself.

而且时间总会流逝。你是选择过着平庸的生活，还是成为一个为自己设定一些明确原则的人，这取决于你。

So start doing it from now. I’m sure once you will develop all these habits it would be hard to resist them. But it will happen only when you let its importance delve deep into you. Its only when things start coming from within ourselves only then we execute them effectively. But till then atleast make an effort. You will realize and then it will automatically happen.

所以从现在开始做吧。我相信一旦你养成了所有这些习惯，就很难抗拒它们。但这只有当你让它的重要性深入你内心时才会发生。只有当事情从我们内心开始，我们才能有效地执行它们。但在此之前，至少要努力。你会意识到，然后它就会自动发生。

You're a tiny speck in this mammoth universe. But being a human, we tend to harbor a misconception that we're the center of everything and whatever we do will be under microscopic scrutiny by the world.

在这个浩瀚的宇宙中，你只是一个小小的微粒。但作为人类，我们往往有一种误解，认为自己是万物的中心，我们所做的一切都会受到世界的密切关注。

However as soon as we begin to think of ourselves as a catalyst to fulfill something larger than us then there'll be absolutely no time or need to think about ways to motivate oneself.

然而，一旦我们开始将自己视为实现比自身更伟大目标的催化剂，那么就绝对没有时间或需要去思考如何激励自己了。

When a doctor sets out to tirelessly stitch people injured in an accident, or a teacher helping out a kid after class, or a soldier patrolling the border to keep his/her country safe from infiltrators - it's not due to motivation. All of these activities are their contribution to towards purposes larger than their personal goals. Being limited by one's personal goals might cause a person to lose motivation if those goals change or become less relevant. Thus finding a cause and working to contribute to a purpose larger than self will keep you motivated.

当医生不辞辛劳地为事故中受伤的人缝合伤口，或老师在课后帮助孩子，或士兵巡逻边境以保护国家免受入侵者的威胁时，这些行为并非出于个人动机。所有这些活动都是他们对超越个人目标的更大目标的贡献。如果个人目标发生变化或变得不那么重要，局限于个人目标可能会导致一个人失去动力。因此，找到一个事业并为之努力，为超越自我的目标做出贡献，将保持你的动力。

I'm just going to get this out - Motivation is highly overrated. You don't need motivation to eat, sleep or drink. You do it even without iota of motivation. So how do you attain that level of motivation? Simple. Along the lines of all that I mentioned in the beginning, you sleep, eat and drink to live and survive and ultimately fulfill your dreams and wishes. Similarly, find a goal or purpose to contribute your life to and simply work towards it. Motivation is after all, just a state of mind.

我只是想说出来——动机被严重高估了。你不需要动机来吃饭、睡觉或喝水。即使没有一丝动机，你也会做这些事情。那么，你如何达到那种动机水平呢？简单。就像我一开始提到的所有事情一样，你吃饭、睡觉和喝水是为了生存和最终实现你的梦想和愿望。同样地，找到一个目标或目的，将你的生命贡献给它，并简单地朝着它努力。毕竟，动机只是一种心态。

I got into a college with a 1.47% acceptance rate. Here's how:

我进入了一所录取率仅为1.47%的大学。以下是我的方法：

I gamified my preparation.

我将我的准备过程游戏化了。

80% of things in our life can be treated as a game. Whether you're trying to climb the corporate ladder or lose weight, this frxwork can help you achieve it in lesser time.

我们生活中80%的事情都可以被视为一场游戏。无论你是在努力攀登职业阶梯还是减肥，这个框架都可以帮助你在更短的时间内实现目标。

This is the 5-step method I used to gamify my life:

这是我用来将生活游戏化的五步法：

1. Set Specific Goals - One good thing about games is that they tell you exactly what you need to do. By specifying your goals, you have clarity on what to work towards. You can also break them down into small, actionable steps.

1. 设定具体目标 - 游戏的一个好处是它们会明确告诉你需要做什么。通过设定具体目标，你可以清楚地知道要朝着什么方向努力。你还可以将它们分解为小的、可操作的步骤。

2. Create a Scoreboard - Track your progress visually. Put up a calendar, sticky note or a whiteboard where you can physically see how far you've come. This gives you that sweet dopamine.

2. 创建计分板 - 可视化追踪你的进度。挂上一个日历、便利贴或白板，这样你可以直观地看到自己走了多远。这会给你带来那种甜蜜的多巴胺。

3. Reward Yourself - Every time you complete a level or some significant milestone in a game, you get rewarded. This is what keeps you hooked on to the game. You can do the same in real life.

3. 奖励自己 - 每次你在游戏中完成一个关卡或达到某个重要里程碑时，你都会得到奖励。这正是让你对游戏上瘾的原因。你可以在现实生活中做同样的事情。

4. Team Up - The most popular games in the world are the ones you play with your friends. Form a group of people who have similar values, and keep each other accountable.

4. 组队 - 世界上最受欢迎的游戏是那些你和朋友一起玩的游戏。组建一个拥有相似价值观的团队，并互相监督。

5. Level Up Often - After every few levels, your character levels up. You can do the same in real life, by buying better equipment, or adopting a new mindset. Any upgrade towards your goal will only help you get there faster.

5. 经常升级 - 每隔几级，你的角色就会升级。在现实生活中，你也可以通过购买更好的装备或采用新的思维方式来实现这一点。任何朝着目标的升级都会帮助你更快地达到目标。

Using gamification, you can technically have infinite motivation. Now you know which levers to pull and buttons to press to stay motivated.

通过游戏化，你可以在技术上拥有无限的动机。现在你知道该拉动哪些杠杆和按下哪些按钮来保持动力了。

Writer's Dream
A few weeks back, I used to live 2/7th of my life. From Monday of every week, I used to wait for the weekend. As a result, I piled up all my favorite hobbies for the weekend.

几周前，我曾度过我生命的七分之二。每周从周一开始，我就期待着周末的到来。因此，我把所有我喜欢的爱好都留到了周末。

In short, I lost interest from Monday-Friday. It made me feel lethargic, unmotivated, and lazy to do the work.

简而言之，我从周一到周五失去了兴趣。这让我感到无精打采、缺乏动力，并且懒得工作。

I did not feel good. There was a lack of spark in my life.

我感觉不太好。我的生活中缺少了激情。

I resolved. I started to live every day of my life and not just the weekends.

我解决了。我开始过好每一天的生活，而不仅仅是周末。

I have brought a few lifestyle changes that have helped me to stay motivated throughout the workdays.

我进行了一些生活方式的改变，这些改变帮助我在整个工作日中保持动力。

I partition the day into many segments. I do not work at a stretch for more than 1 hour. After every hour I take a short break. I try to incorporate some relaxing activities during the work hours like looking at the sky, filling up gratitude journals, quick painting, etc.

我将一天分成多个时间段。我不会连续工作超过1小时。每工作1小时后，我会短暂休息。我尝试在工作时间内融入一些放松的活动，比如看天空、填写感恩日记、快速绘画等。

It keeps my mind rejuvenated.

它让我的头脑保持焕然一新。

I also try to actively converse with my teammates to feel more engaged in the work.

我也尝试积极与我的队友交流，以在工作中感到更加投入。

One more habit I have incorporated into my daily life is to write daily.

我日常生活中养成的另一个习惯是每天写作。

This has been a game changer in terms of focus, satisfaction, and creativity.

这在专注度、满意度和创造力方面是一个改变游戏规则的因素。

To conclude, if you want to stay motivated all day long try to do those activities in short intervals that are very dear to you. Take short breaks every hour. Hydrate yourself regularly and eat healthy foods. Finally, never forget to fulfill the quota of 7–8 hours of sleep.

总之，如果你想一整天都保持动力，试着以短时间间隔做那些你非常喜欢的活动。每小时短暂休息一下。定期补水并吃健康的食物。最后，永远不要忘记完成7-8小时的睡眠配额。

Mindful activities and discipline are the prerequisites for motivation in life.

正念活动和自律是生活中动力的先决条件。

Prioritize physical health.

优先考虑身体健康。

Physical health and safety is the foundation. Many people live in their minds and are disconnected from their bodies. We tend to overindulge ourselves with tasty foods and drinks as a way to fill emotional needs, which often deplete our energy levels and fail to address our feelings.

身体健康和安全是基础。许多人生活在自己的思维中，与身体脱节。我们倾向于用美味的食物和饮料来过度放纵自己，以此填补情感需求，这通常会耗尽我们的能量水平，并无法真正解决我们的感受。

If you want to get serious about improving and sustaining motivation, then you need to start by improve your physical health.

如果你想认真提高和维持动力，那么你需要从改善你的身体健康开始。

Set a sleep and wake schedule. Go to bed and wake up around the same times each day to synchronize your circadian rhythms. Once your body gets used to this pattern, these biorhythms will naturally increase energy levels throughout the day. When you have high energy, you can direct it where you please.

设定一个睡眠和醒来的时间表。每天大约在同一时间上床睡觉和醒来，以同步你的生理节律。一旦你的身体适应了这个模式，这些生物节律将自然地增加全天的能量水平。当你精力充沛时，你可以随心所欲地引导它。

Stay hydrated. Dehydration can create headaches and muscle cramping, and often leads to overeating. The more you can support your body with a steady stream of water, the better you'll feel, and the more productive you'll become.

保持水分充足。脱水会导致头痛和肌肉抽筋，并常常导致暴饮暴食。你越能通过持续的水分摄入来支持你的身体，你就会感觉越好，工作效率也会越高。

Eat nutritious meals. Cut down on the number of meals you eat at restaurants and start taking the time to bring healthy, home cooked meals with you to work. When start eating more protein and vegetables and less sugar-filled carbohydrates, your body will feel lighter and healthier.

吃营养丰富的餐食。减少在外就餐的次数，开始花时间带健康、自制的饭菜去上班。当你开始摄入更多蛋白质和蔬菜，减少含糖碳水化合物时，你的身体会感觉更轻盈和健康。

Exercise. This may sound counterintuitive, but even after a long day at work, exercising for as little as 30 minutes will actually increase your energy levels. Your body will adapt to higher energy output and then create a surplus of motivation for you to continue exploring your passions and enjoying life outside of the office.

锻炼。这听起来可能有些违反直觉，但即使在长时间工作后，仅仅锻炼30分钟实际上也会增加你的能量水平。你的身体会适应更高的能量输出，然后为你创造额外的动力，继续探索你的激情并享受办公室之外的生活。

2. Stimulate and expand your cognitive abilities.

2. 激发并扩展你的认知能力。

The majority of people become lazy and complacent. It's much easier to get home from work and stare at your iPhone during TV commercials than it is to turn of the television, put your phone in your pocket, and read a challenging book.

大多数人变得懒惰和自满。下班回家后盯着你的iPhone看电视广告，比关掉电视、把手机放进口袋、读一本有挑战性的书要容易得多。

However, if you want to make improvements in your life, exercising your mind is a necessity.

然而，如果你想在生活中有所改进，锻炼你的思维是必要的。

Read on a consistent basis. There's no shortcut--the most well-rounded and intelligent people read books. Pick a subject of interest and then take the literary plunge! Reading will improve your vocabulary and your ability to think--both of which will enhance all areas of your life, including your motivation and work performance.

坚持阅读。没有捷径——最全面、最聪明的人都读书。选择一个感兴趣的主题，然后投身于文学之中！阅读将提高你的词汇量和思维能力——这两者都将提升你生活的各个方面，包括你的动力和工作表现。

Take advantage of the internet. I know cat videos are cute, but they're not doing anything for your cognitive stimulation. There's so much quality information online that you can teach yourself just about anything. Pick an interest, set a goal, then continue watching videos and reading articles on that subject. Engaging in critical thinking and expanding your knowledge base will give you an edge up on the competition and keep your mind sharp.

利用互联网。我知道猫咪视频很可爱，但它们对你的认知刺激没有帮助。网上有大量优质信息，你可以自学几乎任何东西。选择一个兴趣，设定一个目标，然后继续观看相关视频和阅读相关文章。参与批判性思维和扩展你的知识库将使你在竞争中占据优势，并保持头脑敏锐。

3. Schedule activities to support emotional regulation.

3. 安排活动以支持情绪调节。

So often we ignore or minimize our emotional wellbeing. As a country, we work longer than many other developed nations, which diminishes the amount of time we spend taking care of ourselves.

我们常常忽视或轻视自己的情感健康。作为一个国家，我们的工作时间比许多其他发达国家都要长，这减少了我们照顾自己的时间。

Blurring the line between work and play has a negative impact on our mental and emotional health, leading to decreased productivity and motivation. Because you as an individual cannot change the socioeconomic setup, you need to schedule self-care activities.

模糊工作与娱乐之间的界限对我们的心理和情感健康有负面影响，导致生产力和动力下降。因为你作为个人无法改变社会经济结构，所以你需要安排自我护理活动。

Start a new hobby. Think about actives you enjoyed earlier in life that you had to relinquish due to the demands of being a responsible adult. Whether it's playing an instrument, painting, sports, hiking, writing, or playing board games, make time for yourself to do something for fun. Engaging in creative activities supports emotional wellbeing and can help re-energize your depleted levels of motivation.

开始一项新的爱好。回想一下你早年生活中因为成年责任而不得不放弃的那些活动。无论是演奏乐器、绘画、运动、徒步旅行、写作还是玩桌游，都要为自己腾出时间去做一些有趣的事情。参与创造性活动有助于情感健康，并可以帮助重新激发你枯竭的动机水平。

Meditate on a consistent basis. If you want a hobby that costs nothing and will have an immediate positive impact, try meditation. Sitting in silence or using guided meditations each day will help you get in tune with your thoughts, feelings, and the present moment, leading to greater motivation, productivity, and performance.

坚持冥想。如果你想要一个零成本且能立即产生积极影响的爱好，试试冥想。每天静坐或使用引导冥想，将帮助你与自己的思想、情感和当下时刻保持协调，从而带来更大的动力、生产力和表现。

Speak to a professional. Denying and suppressing feelings wastes valuable energy that could be allocated to motivation and performance. The most successful individuals, the ones who achieve both materialistic and intrinsic success, are the ones who are self-aware. If you want to increase emotional intelligence and authenticity, both of which will fuel your motivation and ability to succeed, then speak to a life coach or therapist.

与专业人士交谈。否认和压抑情绪会浪费宝贵的精力，这些精力本可以用于激发动力和提高表现。最成功的人，那些在物质和内在层面都取得成功的人，是那些有自我意识的人。如果你想提高情商和真实性，这两者都将增强你的动力和成功能力，那么与生活教练或治疗师交谈。

Don't be complacent. You have what it takes to live a successful and fulfilling life.

不要自满。你有能力过上成功而充实的生活。

Continue pushing yourself to create an environment that supports and enhances your intrinsic motivation so that you can achieve your dreams.

继续推动自己创造一个支持和增强你内在动机的环境，这样你就能实现你的梦想。

Recognize the importance of physical, mental, and emotional health so that you can live a holistic life full of gratitude, peak performance, and maximum productivity.

认识到身体、心理和情感健康的重要性，这样你才能过上充满感恩、巅峰表现和最大生产力的全面生活。

Anastasia Zaderiy
I think it depends on a whole set of factors, the very first one is how well rested we are. It is hard to be motivated when we are tired, fatigue, and this is completely opposite to being motivated. Then, It is so simple but so true - general interest in the topic we are dealing with, as it is not only the result, but also the process of work, the result will be much better only in case we enjoy the process. And the most important is the goal. I think it is not a secret, that we are very productive if we really want to achieve something.

我认为这取决于一系列因素，首先是我们的休息情况。当我们感到疲倦和疲劳时，很难有动力，这与有动力是完全相反的。然后，这是如此简单却又如此真实——对我们所处理话题的普遍兴趣，因为不仅仅是结果，还有工作的过程，只有在我们享受这个过程时，结果才会更好。最重要的是目标。我认为这不是一个秘密，如果我们真的想要实现某件事，我们会非常高效。

But the general adviсe is following your own well being, and considering that habits and lifestyle are important.

但一般建议是遵循自己的幸福，并考虑到习惯和生活方式的重要性。
