Feel before you do. A lot of the time we create to do lists or start projects based on what we want to get done or want to accomplish. The feeling is supposed to come after we’re done. We’re supposed to feel good by accomplishing. While this approach seems very logical, it doesn’t always work too well. It’s much better to start with the feeling you want to create, and then choose the actions you want to take that will create that feeling. This is a hard habit to create, because it doesn’t seem reasonable and requires a lot of trust. You’ll also have to have the courage to stop doing a lot of things that don’t create the feeling you want. That takes a lot of guts. But it’s worth it.
4、醞釀成功
很多時候，我們辦理列在表上的事項或啟動某些項目都是基于自己想做那些事，或想要完成那些項目的意愿。事情辦成了我們或許會感到輕松愜意，項目園滿完成之后我們也許會覺得心滿意足。然而，每當我們認為這類感覺會順理成章地不期而至之時，它卻往往羞羞答答，若隱若現。因此，你不如從工作開始就找到預期的感覺，然后從打算采取的措施之中選擇那些能醞釀（成功）感覺的付諸實施。要養成這種習性確實不容易，因為它似乎不合情理而且需要對它充分信任。此外，你還得有勇氣終止眾多的、不能產生預期感覺的那些事。養成這種習性要花費你大量的心血，可那值得。
