You are constantly checking social media, the news, and email. You can’t stop answering your phone when you should be working. Is the “Fear of Missing Out” keeping you from getting your work done? Is the “Fear of Missing Out” interrupting your life?
你總是在刷新社交網站、看新聞和電子郵件。當你應該工作的時候，你卻無法不接電話。是“害怕錯過”的心理在阻撓你完成自己的工作嗎?是“害怕錯過”的心理在打擾你的生活嗎?
The other day, a co-worker answered a phone call in the middle of a meeting. This action interrupted everyone and after a few minutes we got back to the task at hand. Afterwards, I was curious and asked if the call was an emergency.
有一天，一位同事在會議中接了一個電話。這個舉動打斷了所有人的工作，幾分鐘之后我們才回到自己手頭的任務。事后，我感到好奇并且問到那個電話是非常緊急的嗎?
He said no. I pushed a little further and inquired as to why he interrupted the flow of the meeting to answer it. He gave a rather revealing and honest answer, “I was afraid I might be missing something important.”
他說沒有。我問得更深入了一些，詢問為什么他會寧愿打斷會議流程也要去接那個電話呢。他給了我一個相當坦白和誠實的回答，“我害怕我可能會錯過一些重要的事情。”
This particular individual let their FOMO interrupt not only their life, but the productivity of those around them. FOMO is the Fear Of Missing Out. FOMO is the thought that if you miss something that you will be missing something important or great.
這個特定的群體不僅讓“害怕錯過”的信息強迫癥打亂了他們自己的生活，也同時影響到了他們周圍人的工作效率。FOMO是害怕錯過的意思。信息強迫癥是一種覺得一旦你錯過一些事情，你將會錯過更重要更美好的事情的想法。
Here are 9 Signs That FOMO is Interrupting Your Life:
這里有9個跡象表明信息強迫癥正在妨礙你的生活：
1. Answering the Phone When You Shouldn’t
在你不該接電話的時候你接了
Do you answer the phone anywhere you are? No matter what you are doing? (In the bathroom?)
任何地方你都會接電話嗎?無論你正在做什么?(甚至在衛生間里?)
2. Joining the Watercooler Gossip
加入到津津樂道的八卦中
Do you spend endless hours chatting it up so that you don’t miss the latest office gossip? The average office worker puts in less than a half day of actual work.
你是否花費了大量的時間在聊天上，這樣你就不會錯過辦公室里最新的流言蜚語了?普通的上班族們真正工作的時間不到半天。
3. Watching Meaningless TV
觀看無意義的電視節目
Do you stay up late watching the latest reality TV show or the nightly comedian? Instead, spend that time on sleep or something productive.
你會熬夜看最新一期的電視真人秀節目或是晚間喜劇電影嗎?不妨將那段時間用在睡眠或是一些更有效率的事情上。
4. Endlessly Surfing the Internet
無休止地上網
Hint: You cannot read the entire Internet. It is not possible. So, next time resist clicking through to 20 more websites.
提示：你無法閱讀到所有互聯網網頁，這是不可能的。所以，下次忍住，不要點擊20多個網站才罷休。
5. Checking Email Incessantly
不停地查看郵件
Do you pull out your smartphone at every free moment you have? Are you checking email in elevators, in meetings, and yes, even in the bathroom? Resist checking your email.
一旦有空，你是不是都會拿出智能手機?你會在電梯里、會議中，甚至在浴室里都在查看郵件嗎?請忍住查看郵件的沖動。
6. Dropping Your Priorities to Do Something “Else”
將安排好的工作順序丟到一邊去做一些其他的事情
Do you drop your priorities and plans at the first sign that something else might be going on? Stay on your priorities and get them done first.
“有些事情可能會發生”的跡象，是不是會讓你丟掉安排好了的工作和計劃?繼續按你的優先級順序工作，先將重要的工作完成。
7. Texting When You Shouldn’t
在不應該發信息的時候發了
Whether it is in the car, during dinner, or in meetings, you can’t stop texting at a moment’s notice. Holster that smartphone and concentrate on the present.
無論是在車里、正餐時間或在會議中，你都忍不住一收到信息就回復。將智能手機裝進皮套里，把注意力都集中在當下。
8. Endlessly Reading the News
無休止地讀新聞
The news dominates our lives. How many times have you checked it today Yet, most of it is inconsistent, unimportant, or inconsequential. Yet, you want to be “in the know.”
新聞主導著我們的生活。今天你都已經查看多少次了，其實大部分新聞都是矛盾的、無關緊要或是不合邏輯的。但是，你就是想變成“什么都知道”。
9. Social Media Overload
社會媒體超負荷
How many social networks are you on? What was your friend’s last status update? Do you check it at work when you should be working? Sometimes, I wonder if Facebook’s entire business model is based on FOMO.
你加入了多少個社交網絡平臺?你朋友最近一次更新的狀態是什么?在你應該工作的時候你有去查閱信息嗎?有時，我在猜想Facebook(一種網絡社交平臺)的整個商業模式是不是基于“信息強迫癥” 的。
Don’t let FOMO control your life and actions. Chances are you are not missing anything important or exciting.
The only thing you are missing out on… is your life.
不要讓“信息強迫癥” 控制你的生活和行動。可能你并沒有錯過任何重要的或是令人興奮的事情。你唯一錯過的事情是…你的生活。
