三. 日记

I find my work efficiency is low I'm inefficient after dinner, so that I have to go to bed more and more late later than I used to. I guess I need to plug out (avoid) distractions like Wechat and other forms of social media, when I concentrate on my work. Plus, I should remember that it's impossible to get everything done. So I need to learn to give up some things, in order to choose to do the really important things.
