This is extreme procrastination, which we will talk about in a minute. This is over work.
这点代表极端拖延 我们马上会讲到 这点代表过度工作
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.
我们要发掘 各自的最适宜点 每个人都不一样 有些人 图的位置可能靠这里 有些人可能更靠前 但是每个人都会有个最适宜点 这点代表了效率、创造力、以及快乐的理想状态
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.
例如气体再少也能充满整个空间 也适用于时间管理方面 即使我们工作再少 它会占用我们所有时间 这样我们变得效率低下 缺乏创造力 不快乐
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·摩根的一句话 他可以在9个月能完成一年的工作 但不能花12个月 需要休息时间
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 这两者间你在哪 你得自己摸索 反复试验 期间会犯很多错误 没关系 我们就是这样学习的 本质上 我们关注的就是可持续增长
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…
梭罗说过“要简单 简单 再简单 依我说 你要做的事应当是两三件 而不是成百上千件 数上半打 而不要数上百万
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.
在这多变的文明生活的海洋里 云雾 风暴 流沙 和许许多多事情都得考虑 他要成功 就必须是台出色的计算器
