Second, interesting does not have to mean effortless. The same studies that showed that interest replenished energy showed that it did so even when the interesting task was difficult and required effort.

第二，兴趣不代表毫不费力的事。以上研究也同样表明，有兴趣的事可能会很困难，要很努力完成。

5. Add where and when to your to-do list.

5. 把时间和地点加在要做的事上

Do you have a to-do list? And do you find that a day or a week (or sometimes longer) will frequently pass by without a single item getting checked off? Stressful, isn't it? What you need is a way to get the things done that you set out to do in a timely manner.

你有要做的事情吗?你会不会发现明明什么都没做，一天或一周(有时候会更久)就匆匆而逝呢?很有压力，是吧?你需要的是找到一种方法可以让事情按时做完。

This particular form of planning is a really powerful way to help you achieve any goal. Nearly 200 studies, on everything from diet and exercise to negotiation and time management, have shown that deciding in advance when and where you will complete a task (e.g., "If it is 4pm, then I will return any phone calls I should return today") can double or triple your chances of actually doing it.

这里推荐一种强大的可以完成愿望的方法，即计划明细。从饮食、健康到协商、时间管理各个方面的将近200个研究，都显示(使用计划明细)事先计划完成任务的时间和地点(举个例子，下午四点，我要回那些今天本来要回的电话)可以将你真正完成事情的几率将提高两到三倍。
