Ali Abdaal: 本章节探讨了牛顿惯性定律在生产力中的应用,指出开始一项任务比持续进行更费力。作者认为,除了不确定性和恐惧,惯性是阻碍生产力的第三个主要因素。克服惯性就像克服道路上的一个小坡,需要爆发能量才能开始,但之后会更容易。作者提出了两种克服惯性的方法:减少环境摩擦和减少情绪摩擦。减少环境摩擦可以通过调整环境,使目标任务更容易开始,例如荷兰蔬菜购物研究中通过在购物车中添加绿色内衬来促进蔬菜购买。作者以自己练习吉他的经历为例,说明了环境工程的重要性,将吉他放在客厅中央使练习更容易。作者还强调了默认选择的重要性,通过调整环境,使想要做的事情成为默认选择。减少情绪摩擦则需要克服“CBA”(Can't be arsed)的情绪障碍,作者推荐使用五分钟规则,先承诺工作五分钟,之后再决定是否继续。五分钟规则的有效性在于,想象只做五分钟往往比实际承诺要容易得多,并且允许自己停止,避免强迫自己继续工作。

Newton's law of inertia, which states that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force, applies to productivity as well. It explains why it's easier to continue doing nothing or to keep working once we've started.

Shownotes Transcript

This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 6 of the book is about the law of inertia and how it applies to productivity, just like it does to physics. Three major factors prevent us from being productive, and they are uncertainty, fear and inertia. As Newton recognised, it takes more energy to start something than it does to keep going. In this chapter, we’ll explore some methods that will help us overcome inertia and get started! We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :)
