Most people do not spend their day-off holidays happily. Here's how to make the most of your own company and have an enjoyable day off。

大多数人都不会愉快地度过放假的休息时间。下面跟大家谈谈如何充分利用独处的时间享受愉快的休息日。

Steps 步骤

1. Spend time doing what you want to do! It's your holiday- spend it how you would like. Think of things that you wish you had time for when you're busy. It could be taking a long walk, sleeping in, watching daytime TV...anything!

花时间做你想做的事情！这是你的假期，按照你喜欢的方式去做吧。想想那些在你忙碌的时候渴望去做的事情，可能是长距离散步、睡觉、收看日间电视节目……任何事情都可以！

2. Use your time effectively. Take advantage of having some time on your hands. Use it to organise¹ your closet, catch up on the laundry or get down to some DIY. You'll go back to work feeling like you've really accomplished² something and had productive³ days off.

有效利用时间。好好利用自己可以掌控的时间。用它来规整一下壁橱、洗洗堆积的衣物或者开始自己动手做些东西。当回到工作中时，你就会感觉自己真得完成了很多事情，度过了富有成效的休息日。

3. Catch up with your friends and family. If you've been busy at work, you may not have been able to socialise as much as you would have liked. Use your time to drop some chatty emails, make phone calls to old friends or to catch up with family members. They will appreciate your time.

联络你的朋友和家人。如果你一直忙于工作，你可能无法参加足够的社交活动。利用时间处理一下闲聊的电子邮件，给老朋友打个电话或者与家人联络。他们会很感激你花时间与他们联系。

4. Or enjoy your own company! Being alone doesn't need to be a negative thing. Buy in your favourite foods, pamper⁴ yourself and take some me-time.

或者享受独处的时间！独处并非是一件坏事。买来你最喜欢的食物，宠爱一下自己，享受自己的闲暇时光。

5. Spice up your physical! Get out to the fresh air and go for a jog, do some yoga or walk the dog! The combination of oxygen and exercise will ensure you get a good quality sleep and you will be able to return to work feeling energised!

让身体增添活力！出门呼吸一下新鲜空气，慢跑、做瑜伽或是遛狗！氧气和运动的结合会帮助你拥有优质的睡眠，你在回去工作的时候能够感到自己充满活力！

Tips 小贴士

Make notes of things you wish you had time for. Then, when time becomes available, make a point of ticking a few of these activities off of the list.

记录下你希望有时间去做的事情。然后当你有时间完成时，注意把清单上已经做过的活动勾掉。

Warnings 提醒

Don't oversleep. If you are returning to work the next day, you don't want to throw off your entire sleep cycle by sleeping in until 2pm.

不要睡懒觉。如果你第二天就要回去工作，你不会想打乱你的整个睡眠周期而直到深夜两点才睡。

Don't overdo⁵ it. Holidays are for relaxing and recharging your batteries. You don't want to return to work more tired than when you finished.

不要过于劳累。假期是用来放松和充电的。你不会想回去工作的时候比你完成工作后还累。
