“新年新气象”这样的口号年年喊，可岁末总结中似乎也难以总结出什么真正的新气象来，所以还不如放下这些笼统的口号，从下面这些随手就能做的小事开始，改变我们的生活，使你我逐步成为更好的人。
读一本能砸开核桃的厚书
How many great books have we all heard of, but never actually read? There are so many big reads to choose from, from classics like War and Peace to contemporary titles like The Kindly Ones, that you are bound to find something that will appeal to you.
你还数得过来有多少本我们只是听过名字而没有阅读过的名著吗？有许多大部头的书籍供选择，从经典的《战争与和平》到当代的《友好的人们》，这些书中一定会有吸引你的东西。
让工作更加轻松高效
Get the morning stress out of your system at lunch, so you’re freed up to take on the new tasks of the afternoon. Getting through the last wee hours of the day can be tough. A good employee works smart straight through until the end, and this just might be your one way ticket to 5pm.
利用轻松愉悦的午餐时光将你从早晨开始的工作压力一扫而空，同时你也会有充足的精力来应对下午的工作。通常来讲，下班前的时光都比较难熬，但是好的员工会高效地工作到最后一刻，这也将是你准时下班的保证。
工作日最惬意的事情莫过于和同事们一起吃午饭的时候交（聊）流（八）感（卦）情。和谐融洽的工作氛围才是提高工作效率的不二法门。
约一次对自己负责的体检
It is a frequently repeated statement that men are singularly bad at visiting their doctor. By and large, men prefer to say nothing. But we say this year is the time to change that. Make an appointment for that checkup, even if it is just to confirm that everything’s working the way it should be.
通常情况下，人们总要在已经感觉身体糟透了才会去看医生。几乎所有人都会倾向于一直强忍着说自己并无大碍。但是讲真！请在新的一年尝试改变吧！定期预约医生做常规体检，哪怕只是为了确认一切正常。
来一场与世隔绝的冒险
Check out a new corner of the world and broaden your horizons. The quickest way to cure listlessness or boredom is to put yourself in the crosshairs of an adventure. But whether you have a dream destination in mind or you simply throw a dart at a map of the world, its best not to show it off on your social network.
踏上旅途去探访那些从未涉足过的角落，开阔自己的眼界。毕竟改善精神萎靡和空虚无聊的捷径就是去经历一场冒险。无论你心中是已经有了理想的目的地，或者只是随意地在地图上画了个圈就启程。但最好不要在社交平台上秀自己。
你可以尽情欣赏沿途风景，用“眼睛来拍照”，感受那细枝末节的颜色和气味。而不用挖空心思去想怎么攒出一张自拍照去发朋友圈。
除了这些之外，这里还有十个生活小贴士，它们同样能帮助你成为更好的人，一起来看看吧~
