Being Well-Organized And Getting Things Done

    Being well-organized and getting things done and what we have done is tried to make them as easy to follow as possible to allow you to implement them immediately. There is no doubt that being organized does make a difference.

    ①{#blank#}1{#/blank#}        

    It is something that you should do every single day and the best way to approach this is to place things in order of importance. Watching that movie may sound like a good idea, but put that at the bottom of the list and focus on things that influence your work, health, or anything else that is key to your survival (生存).

    ②{#blank#}2{#/blank#}         

    Next, you should consider trying to plan ahead, so if you know that there is an appointment at a certain location for a certain time, then plan your day around that appointment.

    ③{#blank#}3{#/blank#}         

    Knowing where everything is really will allow you to get more things done as you will waste less time hunting for that object that you require to complete your task. Too much time is wasted hunting for keys or that piece of paper and it also just stresses you out and can upset your pace.

    ④{#blank#}4{#/blank#}         

    Giving tasks to others will always lead to you getting more done, but it is not just a case of picking anybody to do a task. Instead, you need to make sure that they are capable of doing it without running into any problems and that they do have the correct tools to complete the job.

    ⑤{#blank#}5{#/blank#}          

    Having a schedule will help to force you into completing tasks on time and actually getting more done in the process. The only problem here is that you need to be sensible when working out how long something takes or you will put undue pressure on yourself and this is where mistakes can occur and you will actually then start to get less done.

    Datong is one of China's 24 famous historic and cultural cities. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Although I had only three days to travel in this city, the beautiful places still made my trip happy and exciting.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So on the first day, in the morning, I visited Yungang Grottoes. There were some great artworks so I took many photos of them. And in the afternoon, I went to some of Datong's temples—Huayan Temple, Shanhua Templeand Hanging Temple. Hanging Temple is also called Xuankong Temple, which is one of the world's top 10 oldest and most dangerous buildings. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    On the second day, I visited some museums in Datong. There are a lot of museums and they are free for travelers. I enjoyed the folk arts there like Shulaibao. It is really popular in Datong.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I like Shanxi Daoxiao noodles best and it is one of the most popular street food in China.

    What can we do to help protect the environment? It seems useless to just pick up a piece of trash(垃圾) ,but what will happen if you keep doing it every day? Tommy Kleyn, an ordinary man from the Netherlands, may give you the answer. Tommy Kieyn walked past a polluted river on his way to work every day. It used to be a beautiful view, but the trash on the bank made it dirty and smelly. So Tommy decided to pick up the trash along the river a little bit at a time after work. "It took me about 30 minutes to fill one garbage(垃圾) bag with trash, but one garbage bag didn't seem helpful in a place as polluted as this. I decided to fill one bag of trash each day as I passed by," Tommy said. Every day, Tommy took pictures of the river and shared them on his Facebook page. To his surprise, in just six days, he had made great progress with his cleanup effort(努力) . He felt happy and kept doing it. Gradually, more and more people knew about Tommy's story. Other people in the community began following in his footsteps and cleaning up trash on their way home, too. "The idea is to encourage people to fill one garbage bag with litter each day. It only takes 30 minutes, but it really makes a difference and you will be amazed at how good you feel afterwards, "he said. People from all over the world have been moved and inspired(激励)by Tommy's story. No effort is useless if we keep doing it every day. Ordinary people like you and me can also make a difference to the world we live in if we take actions right now.
