问题描述：
不到五分钟就能做完的小事情
【Patrick Mathieson 的回答】
排名不分先后
睡前使用牙线.确保之后的8小时里牙齿间没有碎屑
睡前和醒来都先来一杯水.(译者注:睡前一杯水据说会肿眼泡)
每天做kegel运动(译者注:类似憋尿的动作,详情见http://www.h
"Eat the frog""吃掉青蛙"(译者注:一种时间管理法).确定一件今天必须绝对应该完成的事情.然后在开始工作时先搞定它
跟好久不见的老朋友或者同事联系,可以是一个电话/短信/email.这样一年下来,你就多了365个每年联系一次的朋友.(或者61个联系6次的朋友)
每天睡前邮箱里的新邮件都比早上少.坚持下去直到你邮箱里再也没有新邮件为止(译者注:或者更新下你的黑名单XD).
每天处理一件家里不需要的物品.直到你家里已经非常整洁干净(译者注:这个外国答主应该是单身)
每天来quora回答一个问题.锻炼你的表达能力,同时也为这个世界分享你的知识,经验和见解
如果可能,步行上下班. 运动!阳光!(译者注:帝都等地记得带口罩)
每天吃一个水果/蔬菜. 当然,喜欢的话可以吃很多.但是不吃的话健康会有大麻烦的.慢慢来,坚持下去.
心怀感激.每当我提醒自己:"老兄,说不定你会出生在苏丹难民营呢.你这个幸运的混蛋" 世界顿时变得美好起来.(译者注:很多老外以为世界上最惨的地方是难民营,图样图森破)
每天至少花20分钟阅读专业无关或者看起来用不到的资料.多样性产生创造力.过于专注会严重束缚你的创造性思维.(译者注:先确定你已经足够专注了啊少年)
别让自己太舒服,每天做点让自己不舒服的事请(越多越好). 所谓"不舒服的事请"是指"需要鼓起勇气来克服焦虑才能完成的事请"例如在工作会议上发言,跟美女搭讪,跟隔壁老王聊天.跑上4公里而不是3公里.等等等等.记住:克服不了恐惧,那你就什么也得不到- 鲁迅
以下为英文原文：
【Patrick Mathieson】
In no particular order:
Floss before going to bed. To ensure that you don't have junk stewing in your teeth for 8 hours.
Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Perform kegels every day. Read more on why this is awesome.
"Eat the frog". Write down 1 task that you must absolutely perform in order for the day to be a success, and do it first when you get to work.
Send 1 call/text/email to an old friend or colleague that you haven't spoken with in a while. Over one year, that adds up to 365 reignited relationships (or 61 relationships reignited six times apiece).
End the day with less emails in your inbox than you started with.Repeat until you get to inbox zero.
Give away / donate one item in your household every single day.Repeat until you have an uncluttered, restful home.
Answer one question on Quora per day. Work on your writing ability while contributing to the organization of the world's knowledge.
Walk to and from work, if possible. Exercise! Sunshine!
Eat at least one fruit or vegetable each day. Sure, you should probably eat a half-dozen servings of each. But things can get really screwed up when you are eating zero fruits and veggies. Start small and be consistent.
Express gratitude. My days go so much smoother when I remind myself: "dude, you could just as easily have been born in a Sudanese refugee camp. You're one lucky mo-fo."
Spend at least 20 minutes reading something that is completely unrelated to your career (or "personal development"). Creative thinking requires varied inputs. If you have monofocus (e.g. only read about startups all day), you're severely limiting the amount of interesting ideas you can come up with.
Get uncomfortable at least 1x per day (ideally 3x or 5x). By "get uncomfortable" I mean "summon the courage to do something that makes you anxious". Speak up during the work conference call. Say hi to the pretty girl or fella standing next to you in line. Run 4 miles instead of 3. Et cetera. Remember: "Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." - George Addair
