Time Poverty: The Invisible Enemy That Ages the Brain

hěn很duō多rén人dōu都yǒu有zhè yàng这样de的jīng lì经历:xià bān下班huí jiā回家yǐ jīng已经hěn很lèi累,zhǐ只xiǎng想zuò坐yī huì er一会儿;xiǎng想yùn dòng运动què却méi yǒu没有lì qì力气;xiǎng想zǎo diǎn早点shuì睡,què却yí bù xiǎo xīn一不小心yòu又shuā刷dào到hěn很wǎn晚。

Many people have experienced this: coming home from work already tired, just wanting to sit for a while; wanting to exercise but having no energy; wanting to sleep early but accidentally scrolling late into the night.

kàn qǐ lái看起来xiàng像shì是bù gòu不够zì lǜ自律,qí shí其实gèng更duō多shí hòu时候,shì是yīn wèi因为shí jiān时间zhēn de真的bù gòu不够。

It seems like a lack of self-discipline, but often it’s really because there isn’t enough time.

yán jiū研究zhǐ chū指出,dà nǎo大脑xiǎng想bǎo chí保持jiàn kāng健康,xū yào需要wěn dìng稳定de的shuì mián睡眠、shì dàng适当de的yùn dòng运动、rèn zhēn认真chī fàn吃饭,hái yǒu还有yī xiē一些shè jiāo社交shí jiān时间。

Research shows that to keep the brain healthy, stable sleep, proper exercise, mindful eating, and some social time are needed.

dàn但zhè xiē这些huó dòng活动dōu都xū yào需要shí jiān时间,ér而wǒ men我们de的shí jiān时间cháng cháng常常bèi被gōng zuò工作、tōng qín通勤hé和jiā wù家务zhàn占mǎn满。

But all these activities require time, and our time is often taken up by work, commuting, and house chores.

yī一tiān天máng忙xià lái下来,liú gěi留给zì jǐ自己de的shí jiān时间zhǐ只shèng xià剩下líng líng suì suì零零碎碎de的jǐ几fēn zhōng分钟。

After a busy day, only fragmented minutes are left for oneself.

dāng当shí jiān时间bèi被yā suō压缩,rén men人们zhǐ néng只能jiǎn shǎo减少shuì mián睡眠,chī fàn吃饭hěn很kuài快,yùn dòng运动gèng更nán难jiān chí坚持。

When time is compressed, people reduce sleep, eat quickly, and find it harder to keep up with exercise.

jiǔ ér jiǔ zhī久而久之,dà nǎo大脑huì会yuè lái yuè越来越pí láo疲劳,zhù yì lì注意力xià jiàng下降,qíng xù情绪yě也róng yì容易shòu受yǐng xiǎng影响。

Over time, the brain becomes more and more tired, attention declines, and emotions are easily affected.

shí jiān时间jiù就xiàng像yí gè一个kàn bú jiàn看不见de的xiǎo tōu小偷,màn màn慢慢dài zǒu带走dà nǎo大脑de的huó lì活力。

Time is like an invisible thief, slowly taking away the brain’s vitality.

yào要gǎi biàn改变zhè zhǒng这种qíng kuàng情况,kě yǐ可以cóng从jiǎn dān简单de的xiǎo小bù zhòu步骤kāi shǐ开始。

To change this situation, you can start with simple small steps.

bǐ rú比如gù dìng固定shuì jiào睡觉shí jiān时间,ràng让shēn tǐ身体xué huì学会fàng sōng放松;chī fàn吃饭shí时fàng xià放下shǒu jī手机,ràng让zì jǐ自己màn màn慢慢jǔ jué咀嚼;méi yǒu没有zhěng整kuài块shí jiān时间yùn dòng运动shí时,kě yǐ可以xuǎn zé选择bù xíng步行huò或zuò做jǐ几fēn zhōng分钟shēn zhǎn伸展;zhōu mò周末hé和péng yǒu朋友liáo聊liáo tiān聊天,yě也néng能ràng让dà nǎo大脑qīng sōng轻松yì diǎn一点。

For example, fix a bedtime so the body learns to relax; put down the phone while eating and chew slowly; if there’s no big block of time for exercise, choose walking or a few minutes of stretching; chatting with friends on weekends can also help the brain relax.

shí jiān时间yǒu xiàn有限,dàn但zhǐ yào只要shǒu zhù守住jǐ gè几个zhòng yào重要de的xí guàn习惯,měi tiān每天gěi给dà nǎo大脑yì diǎn一点kōng jiān空间,tā它jiù就néng能màn màn慢慢huī fù恢复huó lì活力。

Time is limited, but as long as you keep a few important habits and give the brain some space every day, it can gradually regain vitality.

xué huì学会zhào gù照顾shí jiān时间,jiù shì就是xué huì学会zhào gù照顾zì jǐ自己。

Learning to take care of your time is learning to take care of yourself.
