填空题How to Make Peace with Your Workload A. Swamped (忙碌的), under the gun, just struggling to stay above water; whatever office cliché you employ to depict it, we"ve all been in that situation where we feel like we might be swallowed up by our workload. Nonetheless many a way may be used to manage your to-do list to prevent feeling overwhelmed. How to make peace with your workload once and for all goes as follows. B. Get organized. "Clear the deadwood out of your desk and keep your office in shape, which enhances your capability to handle other tasks and raises the probability that you"ll retrieve the items you do need in a faster and easier fashion," says Jeff Davidson who works as a work/life expert and writer of more than 50 books on workplace issues. "When something can be disposed, let it go, given in reality most of what you retain is replaceable." Joel Rudy, vice president of operations for Photographic Solutions, with better than thirty years of business management experience, believes that keeping organized is a must. "Messy work areas are nonproductive in some measure. Provided that you can"t locate a document or report easily because it"s lost in a pile of mess, then you have a problematic situation," he says. "Thereby you are supposed to take the time to tidy up your work areas and keep your important files, manuals and reports in an accessible location, which will maximize your efficiencies." C. Make a to-do list, then cover it up. It may sound weird, but it works, says Jessica Carlson, an account executive at Bluefish Design Studio which is an advertising consulting firm. Carlson urges her team to utilize to-do lists to stay on track and highlight items that are a priority. "Cover up the list, with the exception of one high-priority task at one time," she suggests. "This will allow you to focus better on the task at hand; otherwise, it will he easy to get overwhelmed if you"re reading through a to-do list that spans an entire page. Concentrating on a single item will make your tasks appear like they are more doable," Carlson says. D. Stop multitasking. Despite what you may consider multitasking, it"s counterproductive. Unless you"re drinking coffee while scanning your morning e-mails, you"re not saving any time by attempting to do ten things at once. "If you find yourself getting tangled in too many things, it may be of much necessity of you to re-evaluate your involvement," Rudy says. "Your mind will wander from one topic to another and you may end up never accomplishing a thing." Rudy recommends the best way to stop multitasking is to create priority lists with deadlines. "When applicable, complete one project before you move further on to the next one," he says. E. Set time limits. Deborah Chaddock Brown, a work-at-home single parent, says she"s frequently overwhelmed by the demands of maintaining order in her residence and running her own business. Still, she manages to "do it all" by setting a time limit for each task. "I have the type of personality that flits (轻轻地掠过) from thing to thing because I do have so much on my plate," Brown says. "As a consequence I assign time slots: For the next 15 minutes I will participate in social media for the purpose of marketing my business (not sending photos or playing Farmville) and that is the only thing I am about to do for the next 15 minutes. When the time is up, I move on to the next task. That way, at night I don"t end up with a pile of tasks to accomplish even though I felt busy all day." F. Talk to your manager. "Quite often, people are working on things that are no longer a top priority, but someone forgot to tell them (that they"re no longer important). There are usually clear priorities in the manager"s head; he or she has just not done a great job communicating those with the employee," says Holly Green, CEO of The Human Factor . Green"s suggestion unfolds in this manner: "If you find yourself confronted with too many responsibilities, sit down, note the significant things you are in charge of, and go to your manager to have a conversation to discuss priorities, trade-offs, time commitments and interdependencies required to do each thing well, and then ask what you should stop working on or work on less so you can get the right things done." Green says managers should be willing to help sort out priorities, so long as employees have a can-do approach and aren"t just complaining about their workload. G. Eliminate time wasters. "If interruptions are keeping you from your responsibilities, learn how to deal with them accordingly," says Eileen Roth, author of Organizing for Dummies . Roth proposes the following suggestions to combat disruptions: "Use voice mail to cut down on telephone interruptions, turn off the alert that says "You"ve got an e-mail"; and give staff members a set time to visit you." Justin Gramm, president of Globella Buyers Realty, exemplifies Roth"s point. "E-mail had been a big time waster for me in the past because it was a constant interruption, causing me to lose focus on the task at hand," he says. Since determined to check his e-mails only twice a day, Gramm says he has become much more efficient. "If people want to get more work done, they need to stop checking e-mails and get down to business," he says. H. Assess your workload before taking on new tasks. "The paradox of today"s work environment is that the more you do, the more that"s expected of you," Davidson says. In order to better assess your workload, Davidson suggests asking yourself the following questions before agreeing to undertake new responsibilities: Is the task aligned (使一致) with your priorities and goals; Are you likely to be as prone to saying yes to such a request tomorrow or next week; What else could you do that would be more rewarding; Will he or she be crushed if you say no? I. Want to know more? Most of our experts recommended books for additional tips on how to maximize efficiency, but one book was mentioned time and again. Check out The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People .

填空题Changing Our Tune on Exercise A．What would it take to persuade you to exercise? A desire to lose weight or improve your figure? To keep heart disease, cancer or diabetes at bay? To lower your blood pressure or cholesterol? To protect your bones? To live to a healthy old age? You"d think any of those reasons would be sufficient to get Americans exercising, but scores of studies have shown otherwise. It seems that public health experts, doctors and exercise devotees in the media — like me — have been using ineffective strategies to persuade sedentary (久坐的) people to become, and remain, physically active. B．For decades, people have been bombarded with (被……狂轰滥炸) messages that regular exercise is necessary to lose weight, prevent serious disease and foster healthy aging. And yes, most people say they value these goals. Yet a vast majority of Americans — two-thirds of whom are overweight or obese (肥胖的) — have thus far failed to swallow the "exercise pill." Now research by psychologists strongly suggests it"s time to stop thinking of future health, weight loss and body image as motivators for exercise. Instead, these experts recommend a strategy marketers use to sell products: portray physical activity as a way to enhance current well-being and happiness. "We need to make exercise relevant to people"s daily lives," Michelle L. Segar, a research investigator at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan, said in an interview. "Everyone"s schedule is packed with nonstop to-do"s. We can only fit in what"s essential." Reframing the message C．Dr Segar is among the experts who believe that people will not commit to exercise if they see its benefits as distant or theoretical. "It has to be portrayed as a compelling behavior that can benefit us today," she said. "People who say they exercise for its benefits to quality of life exercise more over the course of a year than those who say they value exercise for its health benefits." D．Her idea for a public service advertisement to promote exercise for working women with families: A woman is shown walking around the block after dinner with her children and says, "This is great. I can fit in fitness, spend quality time with my kids, and at the same time teach them how important exercise is." E．Based on studies of what motivates people to adopt and sustain physical activity, Dr Segar is urging that experts stop flaming moderate exercise as a medical prescription that requires 150 minutes of aerobic (有氧健身的) effort each week. Instead, public health officials must begin to address "the emotional hooks that make it essential for people to fit it into their hectic (忙碌的) lives." "Immediate rewards are more motivating than distant ones," she added. "Feeling happy and less stressed is more motivating than not getting heart disease or cancer, maybe, someday in the future." F．In a study of 252 office workers, David K. Ingledew and David Markland, psychologists at the University of Wales, found that while many began to exercise as way to lose weight and improve their appearance, these motivations did not keep them exercising in the long term. "The wellbeing and enjoyment benefits of exercise should be emphasized," the researchers concluded. Dr Segar put it this way: "Physical activity is an elixir (灵丹妙药) of life, but we"re not teaching people that. We"re telling them it"s a pill to take or a punishment for bad numbers on the scale. Sustaining physical activity is a motivational and emotional issue, not a medical one." G．Other studies have shown that what gets people off their duffs (屁股) and keeps them moving depends on age, gender, life circumstances and even ethnicity. For those of college age, for example, physical attractiveness typically heads the list of reasons to begin exercising, although what keeps them going seems to be the stress relief that a regular exercise program provides. H．The elderly, on the other hand, may get started because of health concerns. But often what keeps them exercising are the friendships, sense of community and camaraderie (同志情谊) that may otherwise be missing from their lives — easily seen among the gray-haired women who faithfully attend water exercise classes at my local YMCA. I．In a recent study of 1,690 overweight or obese middle-aged men and women, Dr Segar found that enhancing daily well-being was the most influential factor for the women in the study. Men indicated they were motivated by more distant health benefits, although Dr Segar suspects this may be because men feel less comfortable discussing their mental health needs. "What sustains us, we sustain," Dr Segar said. "We need to promote what marketers call "customer loyalty." We need to help people stay engaged with movement by teaching them how it can help sustain them in their lives." Value beyond weight loss J．Many, if not most, people start exercising because they want to lose weight. But very often they abandon exercise when the expected pounds fail to fall off. Study after study has found that, without major changes in eating habits, increasing physical activity is only somewhat effective for losing weight, though it helps people maintain weight loss and shedding even a few pounds, especially around one"s middle, can improve health. K．For example, researchers in Brisbane, Australia, and in Leeds, England, studied 58 sedentary overweight or obese men and women who participated in a closely monitored 12-week aerobic exercise program. Weight loss was minimal, but nonetheless the participants" waistlines shrunk, their blood pressure and resting heart rate dropped, and their aerobic capacity and mood improved. "Exercise should be encouraged and the emphasis on weight loss reduced," the researchers concluded. "Disappointment and low self-esteem associated with poor weight loss could lead to low exercise adherence (坚持) and a general perception that exercise is futile (无效的) and not beneficial." L．I walk three miles daily, or bike ten miles and swim three-quarters of a mile. If you ask me why, weight control may be my first answer, followed by a desire to live long and well. But that"s not what gets me out of bed before dawn to join friends on a morning walk and then bike to the Y for my swim. It"s how these activities make me feel: more energized, less stressed, more productive, more engaged and, yes, happier — better able to smell the roses and cope with the inevitable frustrations of daily life.
