1分钟看上去只有短短60秒，好像在这期间并不能做成什么事情，但如果利用起来，你会为它给你带来的改变感到不可思议。今天的职场英语专栏阿卡索外教网要和大家分享一些1分钟就能学会的技能，但却让你受益无穷。

1. Learn to NOT think for one minute! 学会停止思考一分钟

You have control over any aspect of your life because you are the master of your thoughts and therefore your actions which come from it. It teaches you how to enjoy the present moment and will make you much happier with your current life situation.

You also learns how to accept difficult and challenging life situations and make the best out of it.

它教会你控制自己的生活各方面，教会你活在当下。还能让你把注意力都放在解决办法和实际行动上。

2. Start everything with 'why' in mind. 做每件事之前在心里问“为什么？”

"Always! Not only when it comes to business plans," says user Charles Faraone. "Start with why for every decision impacting on your life, health, and happiness. Ask yourself why you're eating foods that might not be healthy for you. Why you're doing things the way you're doing them. Why you're avoiding doing what you know you should be DOING: Consulenza Digitale, Marketing e Business Solutions's an amazingly simple approach with huge potential payoffs."

因为每一个决定都会影响到你的生活，你的健康甚至你的心理状况。问问自己为什么要这样做，能避免机械毫无目的地生活。

3.Save ink when printing. 打印时字体颜色改成灰色能节省墨水

When printing documents, user Veijay Jain suggests simply changing the text from black to gray. This will make little difference to the quality of what you're printing, and will not only reduce the amount of ink used, but it'll also increase the printing speed. "Needless to say that by using less ink, you will be slowing down the process filling the mother earth with used cartridges, helping our earth remain greener."

打印文档时建议将文本从黑色改为灰色，这对打印质量没有什么影响，不但能节省墨水还能提高打印速度。

4. Build muscle at your desk. 在桌子上做压力运动

Press your hands together as hard as you can, says user Ashwin D. Kini. You should feel pressure in your pectoral, shoulder, and arm muscles. This kind of isometric exercise requires minimal movement, but strengthens muscles.

尽可能将你的手用力地按在桌上，你应该感到胸部、肩膀和手臂肌肉的压力，这种运动有利于增强肌肉。

5. Conserve your smartphone battery. 节省手机用电

User Ashok Kumar says whenever you are not using internet on your phone through Wifi, turn your Wifi off. When out of range of a network, your phone continually polls for a network, which drains the battery.

如果不通过手机连wifi的话，可以关闭无线网络选项。在手机超出网络范围时，手机不断地询问是否连接网络会加快消耗电池电量。

6. Never prematurely send an email again. 避免过早发送邮件

"When you're writing an email, fill in the addressee last," says David Spencer. "This way, you will never accidentally click and send a premature email."

写邮件时最后填写收件人，就不会不小心把邮件发出去。

7. Declutter your mind before bed.睡前一分钟总结

"At the end of the day for one minute summarize your day," writes Mihalache Catalin. "What you did, what you could do but didn't because fear or laziness stopped you. Why you did everything in that day. How to improve what you do. Do this always before you sleep and you will have a good night sleep."

每天睡前总结下一天做了什么，哪些能做却没做到的事情。可以提高你的行动效率。

很多人每天都浪费了无数个1分钟，如果真的好好利用起来，抓紧每分每秒，成功也会在不远处招手。希望大家能学会这些职场小技能并且坚持下去，每天都进步一点点。
