“Please do not disturb!” “请勿打扰!”

To maintain our privacy when staying in a hotel, we can hang a card at the door with the words, “Please do not disturb!” We choose not to be disturbed so that we won’t be distracted for what we have intended, either to rest or to do something.

Indeed, if we want to use our time wisely, we need to set our priorities according to our goal. Once we have our priorities, the rest of the things are secondary or even unnecessary such as chatting with people purposelessly or talking to salesperson on a product that we don’t need. Therefore, we don’t need to spend time for what is unnecessary. By so doing, we can save some time for what is necessary.

Being a hotel guest, the card with “Please do not disturb” is sufficient to alert people not to knock or open our door. However, we are still unable to stop people from using social media to contact us. One way to avoid disturbance or distraction is by telling your loved ones or important friends that you normally would not read or reply messages during certain hours. If they really have urgent matters to contact you, there is a certain telephone number they can call you.

With proper time management, not only do we save time, but also attempt to use our time wisely. Indeed, life is short and time is precious, it is imperative to be wise in using our time.

为了住宿酒店时能够拥有更多的私人空间，我们可以在门口挂上一张写着“请勿打扰”的卡片。我们选择不要被打扰，这样就较能够避免分心以獲得休息或專心作某些事。

如果我们要明智地使用自己的时间，我们就要根据优先事项迈向目标。而且有了优先事项，其他的事情例如无意识地与人聊天，或者与销售人员谈论我们不需要的产品；这些都是次要甚至是不必要的。所以，我们应该避免花费时间做不必要的事情。通过这样的意识，我们可以省下了一些时间。

作为酒店房客，使用”请勿打扰”的卡片足以提醒他人不要敲门或打开门。然而我们仍然无法阻止别人使用社交媒体联系我们；而为了避免受干扰或引起分心的一种方法是要告诉自己的亲人或密友你在某些时间内通常都不会阅读或回复伩息，如果他们真的有紧急事宜必须与你联系，他们可以给你打电话。

通过适当的时间管理，我们不仅可以节省时间，还可以明智地使用时间。事实上，生命很短暂，而时间是宝贵的，所以我们要在时间的应用方面成为智慧的人。
