Does even the thought of travel stress you out? Do you dread the packing, preparing, and then waiting at the airport? Travel doesn’t have to be that way. You don’t need to be so stressed out with the journey that you can’t enjoy your destination.
就連去旅游的想法也讓你倍感壓力？你害怕打包行李、準(zhǔn)備，然后在機(jī)場等待？旅行并不一定要那樣。你不需要對(duì)旅游懷有如此大的壓力，不然你無法享受旅程的快樂。

When traveling for business or pleasure, the last thing you want to do is spend all your time fretting the details. Yet, for most people, a trip is a grand production. Often, getting ready for a trip seems to take much more effort than the trip itself.
無論是出差還是游玩，最不要做的事是花費(fèi)所有時(shí)間糾結(jié)在一些細(xì)節(jié)上。然而，對(duì)大多數(shù)人來說，旅行就像是一項(xiàng)浩瀚的工程。通常準(zhǔn)備一段旅行似乎比旅行本身更費(fèi)精力。

Much of travel stress is self-inflicted. Lack of preparation leads to forgotten items. Lack of planning leads to last minute rush and stress. How do you minimize the stress and life friction involved with traveling?
多數(shù)的旅行壓力是自己造成的。準(zhǔn)備不充分造成丟三落四，規(guī)劃不充分導(dǎo)致在最后一分鐘仍在緊張地奔波著，你是如何化解因旅游而帶來的壓力和生活小煩躁的呢？

Here are 10 Tips to Help Your Travel Be Effortless:
這里有10個(gè)小貼士讓你的旅行變得輕松：

1. Pack the Night Before
在出發(fā)前一晚打包

You don’t want the added stress of packing the day of your trip. Inevitably, something is missing or still “in the laundry.” Packing the night before gets your trip off on the right foot.
你當(dāng)然不想要因出行帶來的行李打包的壓力，但不可避免地，總有一些東西要么找不到，要么就是還在“洗衣房”中。在出發(fā)前一晚打包讓你做到為旅程準(zhǔn)備就緒。

2. Use a Packlist
使用裝箱清單

To make your packing effortless, use a packlist. Using a packlist allows you to pack in a fraction of the time, and gives you the peace of mind that you have everything before you leave the house. (I have used the same packlist for over 15 years.)
為了讓你的打包變得輕松，請(qǐng)使用裝箱清單。使用裝箱清單能讓你在零碎時(shí)間里進(jìn)行打包，也能讓你安心，保證你在出門時(shí)帶上了所要的一切。（裝箱清單我都用了超過15年了。）

3. Have a Place For Your Stuff
為行李預(yù)留空間

When you are on the road, you don’t want to lose items. Receipts, keys, sunglasses, and more seem to get misplaced quickly. Keep control by having a designated place for each of them. For example, I put my parking ticket in the exact same spot in my wallet every time. I also have specific places for my keys, receipts, and even my car at the airport lot.
當(dāng)你在旅途上時(shí)，你可不想丟失物品。收據(jù)、鑰匙、太陽鏡還有其它物品似乎都在匆忙間被放錯(cuò)了地方。為每一樣物品安排一處空間，做好管理。例如，每次當(dāng)我有停車票時(shí)我就把它放在我錢包里的同一處地方。同樣，我也有特定的地方存放我的鑰匙、收據(jù)，甚至我的車也在機(jī)場有指定的停車位。

4. Use Social Media to Get Help
使用社交媒體尋求幫助

When you are traveling, it can be a hassle to get on the phone for travel assistance. A great time-saving tip is to use social media channels to get help. Especially when getting airline assistance, Twitter can be the simplest and most effective means of getting help. Instead of spending 20 minutes on the phone, with a single tweet I can often get my seat changed or get a flight update. Your hotel may not be as social media savvy as the airlines, but they are getting there.
當(dāng)你去旅行，使用手機(jī)尋求旅游援助是一件很麻煩的事情。一個(gè)極大節(jié)省時(shí)間的技巧是使用社交媒體渠道來獲得幫助。特別是要得到航空公司的協(xié)助，Twitter可以說是尋求幫助的最簡單、最有效的辦法。與其在電話上花費(fèi)20分鐘，直接發(fā)送一條tweet，我就常常可以換個(gè)座位或是得到航班信息的更新。酒店可能不像航空公司一樣成為出色的社交媒體援助，但是它們也快了。

5. Have Stuff to Do on the Plane
在飛機(jī)上做點(diǎn)事

Even if you think you are going to rest on the plane, always have materials with you. It may just be the reading items you want to catch up on. Or it could be your latest work project. You never know when a 1 hour flight might turn into a 4 hour ordeal. Be prepared to do more than read the SkyMall magazine.
即使你認(rèn)為你在飛機(jī)上要休息，但也要帶點(diǎn)材料在身邊。它可能只是你想要補(bǔ)充自己的閱讀材料，或者是你最近的一項(xiàng)工程項(xiàng)目。你永遠(yuǎn)不知道：飛機(jī)上的1小時(shí)可能會(huì)變成一段4小時(shí)的折磨。除了讀讀SkyMall雜志（小編注：一個(gè)大型一站式購物網(wǎng)站），還是多做點(diǎn)事兒吧。

6. Always Charge Your Gadgets
永遠(yuǎn)記得要給設(shè)備充電

This one seems like a no-brainer, but many people get to the airport only to realize they have not charged their phone or laptop. (I recently had a co-worker ask me if they could borrow my laptop on a flight because theirs was dead. Um, no….)
這個(gè)問題看似幼稚，但很多人去了機(jī)場才意識(shí)到他們還沒有給手機(jī)或筆記本電腦充滿電。（最近有個(gè)同事在飛機(jī)上問我是否可以借我筆記本電腦，因?yàn)樗麄兊碾娔X都沒電了。嗯，不可以……）

7. Don’t Go Out to Dinner
不要出去吃飯

When you are on the road (especially for business), the last thing you need to do once you get to your destination is spend even more time finding dinner. Get some rest and reclaim some time by eating in. Room service may cost a little more, but it will save you an hour or more of your evening time.
當(dāng)你在旅途上（特別是出差），你最不應(yīng)該做的事情是到達(dá)目的地后花時(shí)間找一處吃晚餐的地方。充分休息，通過在酒店用餐珍惜時(shí)間。客房服務(wù)可能有點(diǎn)貴，但它將節(jié)省你晚上一個(gè)小時(shí)或是更多的時(shí)間。

8. Exercise on the Road
在旅途中鍛煉

Always pack your exercise gear. That is step #1 in working out on the road. Too often you probably say, “It’s only a few days” or “I don’t have room in my suitcase.” Don’t let these excuses stop you from exercising while traveling.
記得把你的運(yùn)動(dòng)裝備打包帶上。這是登上旅途的第一步。你可能常常說：“這只是幾天而已” 或 “手提箱沒空間了”。不要讓這些成為阻礙你在旅行中鍛煉的借口。

9. Have Your Travel Details Handy
備好有關(guān)旅行的詳細(xì)資料

You never know when something is going to go sideways during a trip. You don’t need to be scrambling to find your travel info. I use TripIt to keep all my itinerary info in one place on my iPhone.
你永遠(yuǎn)不知道在旅途過程中什么時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)生變數(shù)。你不需要胡亂抓一把旅行信息。我在iPhone里安裝TripIt（一款手機(jī)軟件，中文名叫“旅行助手”）保存我所有的行程信息。

10. Always Be Early
永遠(yuǎn)要早

Nothing derails a trip quicker than a missed flight or connection. Always allow buffer time in your travel schedule. You may think that is takes “extra time” to leave early, but it ends up saving much stress and heartache. Leaving even 20 minutes early can mean the difference between pulling your hair out in the security line and enjoying a quick read at the gate.
沒有什么會(huì)比錯(cuò)過航班或是轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)更能讓旅行變卦了。時(shí)刻記得在旅行計(jì)劃中騰出預(yù)留時(shí)間。你可能認(rèn)為早些出發(fā)需要“額外的時(shí)間”，但它最終能化解很多壓力并避免發(fā)生讓你頭疼的事情。只是提前20分鐘出發(fā)，效果會(huì)大同：你是想匆匆過安檢，還是在登機(jī)口處享受片刻閱讀時(shí)光？

Traveling doesn’t have to be stressful. It doesn’t have to be disorganized. In fact, with a little preparation and planning it can be quite effortless. Get your routine down, and soon you will be enjoying the trip as much as the destination.
旅行并不一定是有壓力的。它不必是雜亂無章的。事實(shí)上，小小的準(zhǔn)備和計(jì)劃就可以做到輕松旅行。把你的行程寫下來，很快你就可以享受旅程的快樂。
