快到六月份了，请做以下五件事

It's hard to believe it's almost June — the mid-way point of 2012. June provides the perfect platform to look ahead and plan what you can realistically accomplish in the second half of the year. But, before we get there, this is the week to get your loose items in order. Make sure to do these five things over the next few days.
难以置信，竟然都快六月份了——2012年都过去一半了。六月给我们提供了一个极好的平台，让我们可以对下半年的工作进行展望和规划。但6月之前的这个星期应该整理整理自己零散的项目。想在六月整装待发，请在接下来几天做到以下五件事。

回顾一月份的目标

1. Revisit Your January Goals
1、回顾一月份的目标

I prescribed seven important goals in January — including getting organized, making a budget, checking your credit report, and talking to your partner about life concerns. Have you taken the dose?
一月份我定下了七个重要目标，包括：做事规律，做好预算，核对信用卡账单，和爱人聊聊生活中遇到的问题。这些都做到了吗？

找到工作生活间的平衡和自己的兴趣爱好

2. Assess Your Work-Life Balance and Hobbies
2、找到工作生活间的平衡和自己的兴趣爱好

If you find yourself entering the midyear mark stressed and overworked, it's up to you to make a change. Consider your work-life balance and vow to do something different in June to relieve tension.
如果觉得自己正在迈入压力大、工作多的年中状态，就应该寻求一些改变。衡量一下工作和生活之间的平衡，六月做点和上半年不同的事舒缓压力。

规划假期和要求带薪假期

3. Map Out Vacation and Request PTO
3、规划假期和要求带薪假期

Summer is nearly here! Sit down with your traveling companion — or yourself — and map out when you can take off from work so you can save for travel and plan ahead for great deals. Escaping to faraway lands is one of the greatest pleasures in life, so don't let your vacay days slip away unused like you did last year!
夏天就要来了！趁着工作间隙，和驴友一起或者自己一个人为假期出游做个计划。人生最乐事之一就是远游，所以别像去年那样假期没好好利用就过完了！

你在尽力为退休养老金缴款吗？

 

4. Are You Contributing All You Can to Retirement and Savings?
4、你在尽力缴纳退休养老金吗？

You may have been tempted to pull the plug on retirement or savings contributions or contribute less as you prepared for pricey tax season, but the midyear mark is a good time to get back on track. Log in to your accounts this week, talk to your partner, and ensure you are saving all you can for your future.
六月是昂贵的纳税季，也许你很想终止养老金缴款，或者想少缴一些钱，但年中的这个时候恰恰是让一切重回正轨的好时机。这个星期，你应该登录账户查看金额，和爱人聊聊，确保自己在尽力为未来的生活做准备。

衡量居住状况

5. Assess Your Living Situation
5、衡量居住状况

Are you living where you want to live in January? If you plan on buying a home or moving in the next six months, get the wheel turning now. You may need three or four months to save for first and last month's rent, or prepare your credit and loan approval papers.
你是否住在一月份想住的地方？要是想下半年买房或搬家，现在就可以行动了。搬家的话你可能要三到四个月时间来存下第一和最后一个月的房租，买房的话就可以准备信贷和贷款批准文件了。
