     1  She described all the things she had to do-one was to make her bed-from the moment she
woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed
for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I'd been raised by wolves in a forest. 2
    Two weeks later she went into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in
42 years-and nothing bad had happened. "And you know what?"she said. "I don't dry my dishes
anymore, either."
        3 One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other
was giving herself permission to be less that perfect. This story shows an important principle (原理)
about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The
problem is, many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care
of their houses and cars than they do of themselves. 4
    So what is the solution? There's an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first.
On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise,
leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 5 The choice is yours: whatever
makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano.
Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother
kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. This woman had made two major breakthroughs (突破).
B. Above all, you needn't do anything for yourself regularly.
C. They put everyone else's needs ahead of their own.
D. However, she went along with my idea.
E.  Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
F. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
G. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.

much 42  .
     So I hurried into a McDonald's in the same square, and 43   the man at the counter, who happened to

     Thomas Wheeler, CEO (首席執(zhí)行官) of a company, and his wife were driving along a highway
when he noticed that their car was low on gas. Wheeler got off at the next exit and soon found a rundown (破舊) gas station with just one gas pump. He asked the lone attendant (服務(wù)人員) to fill the tank and
check the oil, and then went for a little walk around the station to relax his legs.
     As he was returning to the car, he noticed that the attendant and his wife were talking excitedly. The
conversation stopped as he paid the attendant. But as he was getting back into the car, he saw the
attendant wave and hear him say, "It was great talking to you."
     As they drove out of the station, Wheeler asked his wife if she knew the man. She readily admitted
and she did. They had gone to high school together and had dated steadily for about a year.
     "Boy, were you lucky that I came along," bragged (自夸) Wheeler. "If you had married him, you'd be
the wife of a gas station attendant instead of the wife of a CEO."
     "My dear," replied his wife, "if I had married him, he'd be the CEO and you'd be the gas station
attendant."
