7. You Have More Time Than You Think You Do
时间比你认为的多

You should eliminate the phrase, “I don’t have the time,” from your vocabulary, because it is profoundly untrue. There are 168 hours every week. Let that sink in for a moment. That is a monumental amount of time. Where could it possibly go? The average person spends 4.09 hours on leisure activities per day according to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
你应该把“我没时间”从你的字典中删除，因为这完全不符合事实。一周有168小时，用心想想，这绝对是大把大把的时间啊。这些时间都用来干嘛了？根据劳动统计局调查显示，一般人每天要花4.09小时用来娱乐。

Most of that time, 2.8 hours per day, is devoted to the television. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think watching TV does much to help me grow as a person. You could spend that time creating art that adds value to the world, reading books that will help you improve your life, or exercising for a better body and health. The next time you say you “don’t have the time,” change your wording to say “it isn’t a priority.”
其中，每天有2.8小时贡献给了电视机。我不清楚你怎么想，但我觉得看电视对个人成长并无益处。有这个时间，还不如搞搞艺术，为世界创造价值，或阅读来改善个人生活，或健身塑型保养呢。下次你再说“我没时间”时，赶紧改口告诉自己“这事儿不是当务之急”。

No time to exercise? Your fitness isn’t a priority. No time to prepare healthy meals at home? Your health isn’t a priority. No time to do something nice for the love of your life? Your relationship isn’t a priority. It’s harsh, but it’s true. How you spend your time is a choice, so spend it wisely.
没时间运动？健身不是当务之急；没时间在家做健康饭菜？健康不是当务之急；没时间为爱人制造浪漫？伴侣关系不是当务之急。很讽刺，不是？可这也都是现实啊。时间怎么分配在于你如何选择，所以，请明智利用时间吧。
