每個職場人辦公桌上要有的8樣東西大綱
A lot can happen in a work day. If you’d like to be ready for anything the day throws at you, you should keep these 8 office desk essentials on hand at all times.
工作時啥事都能冒出來，若想應付自如，辦公桌上最好隨時有以下8個必備用品。
1. List of the day’s priorities
當天的優先任務清單
How will you know you’ve reached your destination if you don’t have a map? Don’t write down everything you have to do: limit yourself to a short list of actionable items that will move you forward in some way. They could help you with health, fitness, your relationship, work, or whatever you want to do. The point is to focus on key tasks that are relevant. If you’ve ever complained about teachers who gave you “busy work” that did nothing to mould you as a person, you know it’s easy to get caught up in stuff that really doesn’t matter. Be minimal to avoid getting distracted.
不看地圖怎能知道自己是否到達目的地？不必事無鉅細寫下一切，簡單記下能夠達成的任務就行。這些任務應有益於健康健身、人際關係、工作或其他方面。而且，一定要專注於相關的重點任務。要是你曾抱怨過老師總安排毫無實際意義的沉重作業，你會發現自己確實會陷入一堆瑣事中。所以切記避免分心。
2. Spare phone charger
備用手機充電器
I never remember to take my phone to work, so it’s always on the brink of death by the end of the work day. Really, I could stand to spend a bit less time looking at my phone—just like everybody else—but nonetheless, a phone drained of battery life wouldn’t be able to make a call if you ever needed it to. Keep a spare charger at work to save yourself potential inconvenience.
我從不記得把手機帶到辦公室，所以每到下班，手機常常快沒電了。說實話，像其他人一樣，我也還能忍受費神地到處找手機，但如果找到手機後發現電池完全不夠用來打個電話，我可要崩潰了。在辦公室裏放個充電器，以備不時之需。
3. Water bottle
瓶裝水
Everybody knows that they’re supposed to drink more water, but nobody actually does it. Be one of the proud members of Club Hydrated by keeping a water bottle at your desk. A dehydrated brain is an unhappy brain that struggles to think clearly, so drinking more water will help you be more focused and productive at work. Cheers to that!
所有人都知道要多喝水，但真正做到的人並不多。在桌上放瓶水，成爲那個能做到的人吧。人體若水分不足，大腦爲了清醒思考會極其耗神。多喝水能保證你工作更專注更有效。來，喝一杯！
4. Light snacks
健康零食
If you are an office worker, I bet you’re surrounded by sweet and sugary temptation on a near-daily basis. While the occasional doughnut won’t kill you, eating one daily will wreck your weight-loss plan in a hurry. Keep some light snacks at your desk so you can make a positive decision if your stomach grumbles. You could keep a few bananas and apples or a bag of nuts like almonds or walnuts for some healthy fats and vitamins that will provide your body with sustainable energy.
如果你是辦公白領，我敢打賭，你也每天受着甜糯零食的誘惑！雖說每天一個甜甜圈無甚大礙，但長此以往卻會讓你的減肥計劃功虧一簣。所以，在辦公室裏放點健康零食，至少餓的時候也能吃得健康些。你可以帶點香蕉、蘋果、杏仁或核桃等堅果，這些零食富含健康脂肪和維生素，能爲身體持續補充能量。5. Box of tissues
一盒紙巾
Have you ever had a sneeze come on when there were no tissues in site, and then found yourself with a handful of icky snot? This is an embarrassing public moment that makes even the best of us want to disappear. Spare yourself the awkwardness this fall and winter by stowing a box of tissues under your desk. Trust me—you’ll be glad you did!
有沒有過打噴嚏時身邊沒紙巾，結果噴得一手鼻涕？這在公共場合絕對尷尬十足，誰都恨不得找個地縫鑽下去。今年秋冬，在辦公桌上放一盒紙巾，遠離這種尷尬吧。相信我，這麼做絕對沒錯！
6. Framed photos
鑲框相片
Just because your loved ones aren’t with you doesn’t mean you can’t think about them. Remembering that there is a spouse/children/dog/cat/fish/snake at home that loves us makes work days more bearable. If your’e feeling stressed out, all you have to do is look at a photo of a loved one and be happy you get to see them soon. Also, an undecorated desk is a boring desk (and who wants to be boring?).
親人不在身邊並不表示你不能想念他們。工作時想想親人孩子或養的貓狗魚蛇，會減壓不少。當你緊張疲倦時，只要看看照片裏的至親至愛，想想不久就能見面，就能舒緩很多。如果辦公桌光禿禿的，那也太乏味了吧？誰會去喜歡乏味呢？
7. Gum or breath mint
口香糖或薄荷噴霧
Your tuna sandwich tastes a lot better than it smells. If you work in an office where you’re chatting with people in close proximity on a regular basis, you’d be well-advised to keep some minty gum or breath mints on hand.
呃，你的金槍魚三明治吃起來還不錯，就是太難聞了……如果工作常常需要近距離和同事溝通，建議你最好備一些薄荷口香糖或清新口氣噴霧。
8. Personal hygiene/body care products
個人衛生/護膚用品
You might want to consider keeping some deodorant, mouthwash, and other personal care products around in case you find yourself running straight to a date after work so you can touch up if necessary. Ladies: I’m not going to discuss feminine products in detail because you know what I’m talking about, so let’s just say that keeping them on hand might be a good idea for obvious reasons as well.
或許你需要在辦公室放些除臭劑、漱口水或其他個人護理用品，這樣萬一下了班後趕約會還能應付兩下。女士們：我這裏不想細說某些女性用品，知道我指的是什麼吧？在辦公室備上一些絕對是明智之舉呵！
