Most people do not spend their day-off holidays happily. Here's how to make the most of your own company and have an enjoyable day off.
大多數(shù)人都不會(huì)愉快地度過(guò)放假的休息時(shí)間。下面跟大家談?wù)勅绾纬浞掷锚?dú)處的時(shí)間享受愉快的休息日。

Steps
步驟

1. Spend time doing what you want to do! It's your holiday- spend it how you would like. Think of things that you wish you had time for when you're busy. It could be taking a long walk, sleeping in, watching daytime TV...anything!
花時(shí)間做你想做的事情！這是你的假期，按照你喜歡的方式去做吧。想想那些在你忙碌的時(shí)候渴望去做的事情，可能是長(zhǎng)距離散步、睡覺(jué)、收看日間電視節(jié)目……任何事情都可以！

2. Use your time effectively. Take advantage of having some time on your hands. Use it to organise your closet, catch up on the laundry or get down to some DIY. You'll go back to work feeling like you've really accomplished something and had productive days off.
有效利用時(shí)間。好好利用自己可以掌控的時(shí)間。用它來(lái)規(guī)整一下壁櫥、洗洗堆積的衣物或者開(kāi)始自己動(dòng)手做些東西。當(dāng)回到工作中時(shí)，你就會(huì)感覺(jué)自己真得完成了很多事情，度過(guò)了富有成效的休息日。

3. Catch up with your friends and family. If you've been busy at work, you may not have been able to socialise as much as you would have liked. Use your time to drop some chatty emails, make phone calls to old friends or to catch up with family members. They will appreciate your time.
聯(lián)絡(luò)你的朋友和家人。如果你一直忙于工作，你可能無(wú)法參加足夠的社交活動(dòng)。利用時(shí)間處理一下閑聊的電子郵件，給老朋友打個(gè)電話(huà)或者與家人聯(lián)絡(luò)。他們會(huì)很感激你花時(shí)間與他們聯(lián)系。

4. Or enjoy your own company! Being alone doesn't need to be a negative thing. Buy in your favourite foods, pamper yourself and take some me-time.
或者享受獨(dú)處的時(shí)間！獨(dú)處并非是一件壞事。買(mǎi)來(lái)你最喜歡的食物，寵愛(ài)一下自己，享受自己的閑暇時(shí)光。

5. Spice up your physical! Get out to the fresh air and go for a jog, do some yoga or walk the dog! The combination of oxygen and exercise will ensure you get a good quality sleep and you will be able to return to work feeling energised!
讓身體增添活力！出門(mén)呼吸一下新鮮空氣，慢跑、做瑜伽或是遛狗！氧氣和運(yùn)動(dòng)的結(jié)合會(huì)幫助你擁有優(yōu)質(zhì)的睡眠，你在回去工作的時(shí)候能夠感到自己充滿(mǎn)活力！

Tips
小貼士

Make notes of things you wish you had time for. Then, when time becomes available, make a point of ticking a few of these activities off of the list.
記錄下你希望有時(shí)間去做的事情。然后當(dāng)你有時(shí)間完成時(shí)，注意把清單上已經(jīng)做過(guò)的活動(dòng)勾掉。

Warnings
提醒

Don't oversleep. If you are returning to work the next day, you don't want to throw off your entire sleep cycle by sleeping in until 2pm.
不要睡懶覺(jué)。如果你第二天就要回去工作，你不會(huì)想打亂你的整個(gè)睡眠周期而直到深夜兩點(diǎn)才睡。

Don't overdo it. Holidays are for relaxing and recharging your batteries. You don't want to return to work more tired than when you finished.
不要過(guò)于勞累。假期是用來(lái)放松和充電的。你不會(huì)想回去工作的時(shí)候比你完成工作后還累。 ?
