①In today's busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling "time poor". Time poverty(贫穷)can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person's time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline(截止日期). Besides, we often say "yes" to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying "yes" to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate.
②People who don't have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental(心理的)health. Moreover, less quality(优质的)time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor?
③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don't realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work.
④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It's important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work.
⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it.
Chinese opera is one of the oldest art forms in the world. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Different parts of China have their own local opera and there are more than 300 different kinds. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Actors in Sichuan opera wear specially painted masks on their faces in many different colors. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} They will suddenly change completely, and all the time, the actor is dancing beautifully with many difficult movements.
