疫情期間，上班族居家辦公，學生在家上課，似乎少了點工作或者學習的氛圍。這個時候自律顯得格外重要，如果覺得效率低下的話不妨收好指南，在家也能高效！
We're all spending more time in our homes.
我們在家裡度過的時間越來越多。
Some of us, myself included, had to bring the office to our house and learn to share it with family members and even pets.
我們當中有些人，包括我自己在內，不得不把辦公室轉移至家裡，還要學會與家人甚至寵物分享。
Adapting to working from home without any previous prep can be hard, especially when you lack the space and still haven't grown used to your new habits.
在沒有任何前期準備的情況下，在家工作可能一時難以適應，尤其是在家裡空間不足，並且新的習慣還未養成的情況下。
I'm now readapting to the old routine I followed when I worked from home last year and that previous experience is helping me get back on track easily.
現在，我正在適應去年在家工作時遵循的舊習慣，以前的經驗可以幫我更容易地迴歸正軌。
So I decided to write down what I believe to be 10 essential things to take into account if you want to be productive and organised when working from home.
因此，我決定寫下我認為在家中工作時可能會幫助大家變得更有生產力和更有條理的十件事。
Even more than in a regular office, I find that a strict routine is essential while you're working from home.
相比普通辦公室，在家工作時嚴格遵守規則顯得尤為重要。
You really don't have colleagues to keep you accountable for your hours, habits and posture during the day, and you don't have to rely on public transportation schedules or the traffic to know when you should leave the house in the morning.
沒有同事負責你的日間工作的時間，習慣和姿勢，而且你早上不用通過公共交通的時間表或交通狀態來判斷何時出發。
The lack of physical boundaries also makes it especially hard to be able to switch between home and office mode and this is even worse if you don't have an actual home office separated from your bedroom or living room.
物理邊界的缺失也會讓你在家庭和辦公室模式之間的切換變得異常困難，如果你沒有一間和臥室或客廳隔離開的單獨的辦公室的話，情況則更糟。
There are 10 things you can take into account that will be applicable to people in most situations and will help shape your overall mindset and habits during this time.
你可以考慮以下 10 件事，這些事情適用於大多數情況，在此期間將有助於塑造你的心態和習慣。
Tweak your morning routine to take into account this new way of working.
調整你的早晨習慣，考慮下這種新的工作方式。
Your lack of commute means more time to do things.
不用通勤，意味著你有更多的時間。
So try to understand what will be beneficial to keep in the morning and consider shifting some of your old habits to turn into afternoon or evening habits.
試著瞭解對你有益的早晨習慣，並考慮將一些舊的習慣換成下午或晚上做。
You can now use this extra time to cook your lunch in advance, clean your house, exercise or sleep an extra hour.
你現在可以利用這段額外的時間提前做午餐，打掃房間，鍛鍊身體或多睡一個小時。
You pick.
你自己選。
Your living area is now your working space as well, so if you're behind your cleaning routine, now it's time to make it perfect.
你現在生活的地方也是你工作的地方，因此，如果你一慣懶得打掃，現在是時候好好清理一番了。
An untidy, unorganised environment generates high levels of stress, reduces productivity and overall shifts your focus to the mess instead of the work in front of you.
亂七八糟的環境會增加人的壓力，降低工作效率，並且會轉移你的注意力，讓你無心工作。
Make this a top priority during your first few days working at home.
在你居家工作的頭幾天，首先考慮這件事情。
Make sure to start, pause and finish working at the same time, every day, and, if possible, using the same routine you would in regular office hours.
確保每天工作的起止時間相同，並且，如果可能的話，儘量與常規辦公保持一致。
As much as it is comfy to work in your PJ's, please don't.
穿著睡衣工作確實舒服，但不要這樣做。
After you finish your morning routine, change into something extra comfy but make sure you picked an outfit that you wouldn't fall asleep wearing.
完成早上的活動後，換套舒適點的衣服，但別舒服過頭了，打瞌睡就不好了。
This is especially important if you are working next a couch like me.
如果你像我一樣是在沙發旁邊工作的話，這點非常重要。
Make a ritual out of setting up your workstation in the morning and put everything away at the end of the day.
早晨不做任何與工作無關的事情，在一天結束時再收拾。
This creates that illusion that there's a limit between your working hours and your free and leisure time.
這會讓你產生錯覺，即你的工作時間和空閒時間之間有個界限。
Prepping your lunch the night before or in the morning also helps you stay in track during the day and avoid cooking meals from scratch during your lunch break.
在前一天晚上或當天早上準備第二天的午餐，也可以幫助你在白天保持正常狀態，以避免在午餐時間還忙著做飯。
All of the cooking and cleanup in the middle of your day can be more stressful than relaxing so it's important that you try to overcome the tendency of fixing your meals during your break.
不管是做飯還是清潔，都會徒增壓力，因此，在休息時間做飯這個習慣一定要改過來。
If you have to take your dog outside during the day, make sure to set a couple of alarms on your phone so you go at the same time every single day.
如果你白天還要遛狗，務必在手機上設置幾個鬧鐘，以便每天都可以在同一時間出門。
This way you won't have to constantly worry whether they need to go outside.
這樣，你就不必總是擔心你的狗狗是否要出去。
I also recommend you to free more time in the morning, before you start working, to play and do a bigger workout with your dog.
同時，我建議你在早上開始工作之前可以騰出一些時間，和你的狗一起玩，加大鍛鍊量。
Unless your dog it over-the-top high energy, this will probably guarantee that he will feel calmer and sleepier during the first part of your work day.
除非你的狗狗精力無限，否則就可以保證它在你上班階段可以安定下來睡覺了。
If there's someone else in your household working from home and you're sharing the same space, establish simple boundaries regarding your working hours, working space and breaks.
如果你家裡不止你一個人要工作，同時又要共享同一個空間，請在工作時間，工作空間和休息時間之間建立簡單的界限。
Are you going to take calls during the day, listen to music out loud or bring hot drinks and food to the desk?
你白天要接電話嗎，還是會聽震耳的音樂，或者會將熱飲和食物帶到辦公桌上？
Figure out beforehand what will make the other person feel comfortable during these days, as it can be hard to adapt to work from home while lacking the proper space and conditions.
事先弄清楚這些，這樣會讓其他人在工作的時間裡舒服一點，因為缺少適當的空間和條件，在家工作還是很難適應的。
Make sure you take regular, hourly breaks during the day.
確保你在白天可以定時休息。
If you live in a small space, remember to stretch frequently, open up the windows and let the fresh air in or even engage in super quick five minute cleaning sessions just to move a little.
如果你住的空間狹小，記得要經常伸展，打開窗戶，讓新鮮空氣進來，甚至來一次五分鐘的快速清潔，只是為了活動一下而已。
Finally, don't forget to drink plenty of water during the day.
最後，別忘了要多喝水。
Just keep a water bottle nearby and challenge yourself to drink it until lunch break and then refill it at that time.
就在身旁放一瓶水，然後挑戰一下自己，在吃完午飯後再重新裝滿即可。
I hope you enjoyed today's video.

注意健康，下週見。
