4. Block Out Chunks of Time

　　騰出大段時間

　　Do you have some big project that you'd love to get round to? Maybe it's writing a novel, starting a business, training for a marathon... whatever your particular venture or goal, you never get around to making progress.

　　你是否有個大計劃總想花時間去做?比如寫小說、創(chuàng)業(yè)、或馬拉松訓(xùn)練，不管個人想法或目標(biāo)是什么，你就是還沒時間去落實吧?

　　The best way to tackle big projects like this is to force them into your schedule. Spare time doesn't just appear from nowhere – you need to make a conscious effort to create it. Block out a weekend afternoon, for instance: tell family and friends you have another engagement that day. Then storm on ahead with that project. Trust me, you'll feel great for having made a start.

　　對付這種大計劃的辦法就是強(qiáng)行做出安排。時間就像海綿里的水，你得用心去擠才行。比如，你可以騰出一個周末下午的時間，告訴親友自己另有安排，然后開始拿出行動吧。相信我，一旦開始你就會感到妙不可言。
