Not Getting Anything Done
什么事情都做不成

The other night I found myself unable to get anything done.
不久前的晚上，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我就是什么事情都做不完。

I was tired. Energy levels were low.
我非常累，精力非常差。

My mind just wanted to shut down for the day.
我的心里只想在這天停工休息。

Yet, I had 2 hours of free time on my hands and a todo list a mile long.
但是我還有兩小時(shí)的空閑時(shí)間，還有好長好長一段待辦清單。

I was having trouble getting motivated to do anything.
我沒辦法激發(fā)自己的動(dòng)力去做任何事情。

“When you least ‘want’ to do something, is often when you most ‘need’ to take action.”
有句話說的好：當(dāng)你最不想做某事的時(shí)候，也正是你最需要采取行動(dòng)的時(shí)候。

Determined to get something done… (anything really)… I picked up one small task.
我決心要做點(diǎn)什么事（什么事都行），于是我選擇了一件很小的工作。

I figured if I couldn’t get anything else done, I would do just this one task.
我想通了：如果我沒辦法完成其他的事情，我至少要做好這件工作。

Just One Task
只完成一件工作

I forced myself into doing that one task.
我強(qiáng)迫自己去做這件工作。

It was a low effort task. It could be done in a few minutes.
這是一件輕松省力的活兒，只要幾分鐘就能完成。

It involved scanning a 1-page receipt and emailing it to a colleague.
只是掃描一頁收據(jù)，然后用郵件發(fā)給同事就行。

Within a few minutes it was done. Scanned, emailed, and finished.
幾分鐘就能完成，掃描，發(fā)郵件，搞定啦。

It felt good to cross even one item off my todo list.
完成了工作，從待辦清單上劃掉這一項(xiàng)，感覺非常好。

Glancing at my list, I soon found a few other items that I was interested in addressing.
再看一眼待辦清單，我會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)還有其他一些事宜我也愿意花時(shí)間去處理。

I was soon doing some related tasks. An expense report. Answering several emails. And more.
接著我做了一些相關(guān)的工作。提交報(bào)銷單，回復(fù)郵件，接著是更多的事情。

You could say that once I got myself in motion, I stayed in motion.
可以說一旦我開始行動(dòng)了，我就會(huì)保持這種狀態(tài)。

One Thing Done, What’s Next?
做好一件事，然后呢？

When you find yourself unable to get anything done, try focusing on getting just one thing done.
如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己沒辦法做任何事，那不妨先將精力集中完成其中的一件事情。

One-at-a-time. That is how progress is made.
一次做一件，依此類推，我們都是這樣一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)取得進(jìn)步的。
