When You Find Yourself Doing Something You Shouldn’t Be - If you find yourself working on the trivial and not getting to your most important work, you need to stop and re-prioritize. Or perhaps, your behavior has become self-destructive.

　　要是你意识到你正在做一件不该做的事情的时候——要是你发现你自己总是在完成一些很琐碎无意义的事，或者做的事与那些最主要的事无关的事情时，你也需要停下来，重新确定一下完成这些事情的先后顺序。或者，你的行为已经造成了自我毁灭。

　　When You Need a Break – No one can operate above their limits for long. You will burn yourself out if you don’t pause and recover. Don’t let you health or behavior be your un-doing.

　　当你需要时间缓冲的时候——没有人可以长期的超负荷工作。要是你不停下来，留时间给自己恢复，你最后就会精疲力竭。不要毁掉你的健康。

　　When You Are Rushing – There is much truth to the old adage, “Haste makes waste.” If you are going so fast that you are making mistakes, you are only going to create more work. Or as one of my favorite authors Jeffrey Mayer said, “If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to do it over?”

　　当你行事仓促的时候——有句老话道出了真谛——“欲速则不达”，行事匆匆就很容易犯错。纠正错误就不得不做更多的工作。正如我最喜欢的一个作家勒夫瑞所说，“要是你没有时间一次性就将事情做好，你打算什么时候去把事情做好？”

　　When You Are Not Ready – This one is not to be used for inaction or procrastination. Yet, if you know you are not ready, take a pause to prepare for your day.

　　当你还没准备好的时候——这一条并不适用于那些懒散或爱拖延的人。要是你知道你没准备好，停下来，让自己有时间准备一下。

　　When You Need to Make an Important Decision – When you need to make an important decision in life, pause and make a conscious choice. Better to take a pause and make your decision than let life make it for you.

　　当你需要做个重要决定的时候——生活中，当你需要做个重要决定的时候，暂停一下，做个理性的决定。最好是停一下，自己做个决定，而不是让生活替你做那个决定。

　　When You Are Under the Weather – You can only push yourself so far. If you don’t take a break, life will find a way to make you take one. As well, have respect for others and don’t bring your illness to work.

　　当你心情不好或是身体不舒服的时候——你只能尽可能的匆忙。要是你不暂停一下，生活就会替你做好决定。同样的，尊重他人，不要带着病工作。

　　To Enjoy Life and Time with Others – You can’t rush fun. And you can’t force quality time with your loved ones. You have to pause and enjoy the time together. Put other things on hold while you spend time with your family.

　　和他人享受生命，享受时间——匆匆忙忙就不能享受快乐，你也不能与你爱的人享受爱的时光。必须停下来，和他们一起享受生命。和家人在一起的时候就把其他事暂时搁置。

　　When you find yourself constantly rushing, take a moment to pause.

　　当你发现你总是在匆忙中度过时，停下来休息下。

　　It may be time to catch up, or evaluate your actions.

　　也许是时候努力，是时候审视你的做法。

　　Life happens. Everyone needs a break from time-to-time.

　　生活在继续。偶尔每个人都需要停下来休整一下。

　　So, press pause today and get yourself back on track.

　　因此，今天就按下暂停键，让你自己回到正轨。
