思维管理,而不是时间管理
原文来自:12 Key lessons from "Mind Management Not Time Management" by @kadavy:
1. 高效的一天不在于时间管理,而是思维管理
Being productive today isn't about time management, it's about mind management.
2. 时间管理优化时间资源。思维管理优化创造力资源
Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy.
3. 并不是所有的时间都是平等的:如果你每天写一个小时,一年之内你就会有一本书。但你不能简单地连续写 365 小时,并得到相同的结果。
Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result.
4. 第一小时规则:把一天中的第一个小时花在你最重要的项目上。
The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project.
5. 如果你从最重要的事情开始新的一天,那么其他事情妨碍你的机会就会减少。
If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way.
6. 有时你的头脑更适合创造性思考。有时你的头脑更适合分析性思考。
Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically.
7. 时间的意义不是把尽可能多的生命填满给定的时间单位。时间的意义在于以时间为指南,过上充实的生活。
The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life.
8. 每天平均睡眠时间增加一小时,生产率的提高幅度超过受教育程度的一年增加幅度。
A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education.
9. 当你随机地从一项活动切换到另一项活动时,你的能量就会流失……如果你一直这样做,那么你的能量就会很少。
When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks...If you're doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction.
10. 知识工作者越忙碌,他们的创造力就越低。
The busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were.
11. 噪音水平也会影响您创造性思考的能力……研究表明,大约 70 分贝的背景噪音水平最适合产生创意。
Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively...studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation.
12. 事情不难做,难的是把我们自己放在做事情的思维状态中
Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them
