3. If asked for an explanation, remember that you really don’t owe anyone one. “It doesn’t fit with my schedule,” is perfectly acceptable.
3-如果别人要你解释,请牢记:你真的不欠任何人。“这不符合我的时间安排”就足以让人接受了。
4. Remember that there are only so many hours in the day. This means that whatever you choose to take on, limits your ability to do other things. So even if you somehow can fit a new commitment into your schedule, if it’s not more important than the things you would have to give up to do it (including time for relaxation and self care), you really don’t have the time in your schedule!
4-记住,一天只有那么几个小时。这意味着无论你选择承担什么,都要限制你办其他事情的能力。所以,即使你可以一定程度上把新的任务塞进日程表,如果它没有比你必须放弃才能做的事情重要(包括休息和照顾自己),那么你并没有真正把握计划内的时间!
