Nice words:

1. (為什么躺平）More than two years of pandemic uncertainty, employees stress levels are at all-time highs, and people are still languishing. When you are exhausted and overwhelmed, it feels like something needs to give-for many, that seems to be the pursuit of excellence at work.
2. (積極的時(shí)間管理計(jì)劃的作用）Additive time management strategies make spaces for actively effortful activities like reading books in their schedules, instead of for passively effortless ones like watching soap series. They might feel that time gets more abundant. And they even reported making more progress on their professtional goals-pretty much the opposite of quiet quitting-as their increased energy and engagemnet spilled over into (擴(kuò)散到） all areas of life.
3. （積極的心態(tài)對(duì)待生活）There is no reason to cram things in to your schedule out of a sense of obligation, and depleting pursuits should be eschewed. We each have the same 24 hours every day. But time is also all about the stories we tell ourselves. When life is full of have-to-dos, with only brief periods of downtime in between, we can feel beaten down by responsibilities. But adding things we actually want to do, to compete with those have-to-dos, and time feels different. We feel a bit more in control of our lives. Put simply, when we put time into what we find energizing, our inner narrative changes. We no longer feel like life is a slog.
