Delegate Some Chores

　　Delegate Some Chores 放权他人做事

　　Perhaps you seem to be the only person in your household who’s capable of unstacking the dishwasher or ironing the clothes. If your evenings get taken up with a long list of chores, see whether you can delegate some of those。

　　也许你是家中唯一既要折叠洗碗机又要熨衣服的那个人。如果你的每个晚上都被一大堆的琐事排满了，那么看看你能不能把这些事交给别人去做。

　　Your partner, housemates, or kids can pitch in and help out. Even if you just free up 20 or 30 minutes every evening, you’ll have a bit of extra time to spend on something important to you。

　　你的伴侣，同住一个屋的室友，或是孩子也能做点贡献帮你解决一点问题。即使每晚你只能多出20到30分钟空闲，你也有了一点多余的时间去做对你而言重要的事情。

Eat Dinner at Home

　　Eat Dinner at Home 在家吃饭

　　Although going out for dinner might seem like it saves time (after all, you don’t have to cook) -- you’ve got the time cost of traveling to the restaurant, ordering the food, waiting for it to arrive, paying the bill ... and it might well be faster just to cook and eat at home。

　　虽然在外吃饭看起来是省了时间(毕竟，你不需要做饭)--但你却花了时间在去餐馆、点餐、等候以及买单等等事情上。也许在家做饭吃饭反而来的更快些。

　　If you don’t have much time to cook during the week, try making extra portions at the weekend so that you can freeze some. That way, you’ve got an almost-instant meal (and one that’s probably healthier and cheaper than a restaurant meal, too)。

　　如果你在周末没有很多时间用来做饭，试着调整周末其它事情的安排这样你就能腾出一些时间来了。这样的话，你就有时间做饭了(同时这顿饭比起餐馆的饭菜可能更健康也更划算)。

Limit Your TV Watching

　　Limit Your TV Watching 限制看电视的时间

　　If you put the TV on as soon as you get in from work, it’s easy to end up spending hours slumped on the sofa. Instead of watching whatever happens to be showing, try watching just one or two programs each night。

　　如果你下班一回来就打开电视机，那么结果是你就躺在沙发上看了数小时的电视。不要放任自己无选择地看电视，试着每晚只收看一个或两个电视节目。

　　You might also want to have at least a couple of TV-free evenings; a great chance to read a good book, or to work on a project around the house。

　　你大概也想有几个不看电视的晚上；这几个晚上我们可以看看书，或是在家里转转看看可以做些什么。
