Topics
Marielle: 我最近迷上了成为一个文艺复兴式女性的想法,想尝试很多事情,但意识到注意力是有限的。我们关注的东西最终构成了我们的人生,所以选择关注什么很重要。 Oliver Berkman: 我们只有大约4000周的时间,所以我们要认真思考如何利用我们的时间。 Karima Batts: 选择爱好或新项目时,先广泛考虑,再根据自身价值观、需求和生活缺失来缩小范围。要预先决定哪些事情可以暂时放弃,而不是在之后因为试图做所有事情而自责。专注于一个目标能更快完成,并带来成就感和独立感。 Leah Schaefer: 找到一个责任伙伴能帮助你更好地完成目标,一起设定目标,互相监督,共同进步。 Ayelet Fishbach: 在其他人面前,我们的行为更有意义,这有助于我们坚持目标。可以加入群体活动,例如跑步小组或读书会。 Cynthia Pong: 建立常规可以减少心理负担,使行为自动化,从而更容易地实现目标。 Jose Briones: 减少屏幕时间,并利用空闲时间进行有意识的休息和思考。减少干扰后,可以重新拾起以前放弃的兴趣爱好。 Dr. Stuart Brown: 专注于结果可能会让我们失去享受过程的乐趣。要允许自己尝试新事物,即使做得不好也没关系。 supporting_evidences Oliver Berkman: 'which if you live to 80 comes out to about 4,000 weeks.' Karima Batts: 'Karima's advice for picking a hobby, interest, or a new project is to start with a wide lens.' Leah Schaefer: 'Her progress took off when she met Jamie, her accountability partner.' Ayelet Fishbach: 'One finding from her research is that in the presence of other people, our actions feel more meaningful to us.' Cynthia Pong: 'She says another way to keep moving toward our goals is to create defaults in our lives.' Jose Briones: 'Right after college, Jose found that his life had been overtaken by screens and he was spending all of his time passively.' Dr. Stuart Brown: 'The quest for peak performance and peak focus can, if we're not careful, block us from experiencing life.'
