This is extreme procrastination, which we will talk about in a minute. This is over work.
這點代表極端拖延 我們馬上會講到 這點代表過度工作
What we want to find is our optimum-for each person, this is in a different place. I mean, this graph can be situated here for one person, and here for another. But each person has this optimal level. And this is where highest level of productivity, creativity and happiness is.
我們要發掘 各自的最適宜點 每個人都不一樣 有些人 圖的位置可能靠這里 有些人可能更靠前 但是每個人都會有個最適宜點 這點代表了效率、創造力、以及快樂的理想狀態
So on the one extreme we have the law of gas essentially applied to time management. But even if we have very little work, it will take up all of our time. And then we are not productive, not creative, not happy.
例如氣體再少也能充滿整個空間 也適用于時間管理方面 即使我們工作再少 它會占用我們所有時間 這樣我們變得效率低下 缺乏創造力 不快樂
On the other hand, we have-the quote that I've used time and again by J.P.Morgan, that he can do a year's work in 9 months but not in 12 and the need for time-off.
另一方面是…我常常引用J·P·摩根的一句話 他可以在9個月能完成一年的工作 但不能花12個月 需要休息時間
Where is your optimal level? Where are you? Between these two. You need to find out. It's trial and error. And it's a lot of error. And that's OK. That's how we learn. Essentially what we are about is sustainable growth.
你的理想值在哪里 這兩者間你在哪 你得自己摸索 反復試驗 期間會犯很多錯誤 沒關系 我們就是這樣學習的 本質上 我們關注的就是可持續增長
Henry David Thoreau: "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen…
梭羅說過“要簡單 簡單 再簡單 依我說 你要做的事應當是兩三件 而不是成百上千件 數上半打 而不要數上百萬
In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quick sands and the thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds.
在這多變的文明生活的海洋里 云霧 風暴 流沙 和許許多多事情都得考慮 他要成功 就必須是臺出色的計算器
