思维管理,而不是时间管理

原文来自:12 Key lessons from "Mind Management Not Time Management" by @kadavy:

1. 高效的一天不在于时间管理,而是思维管理​

Being productive today isn't about time management, it's about mind management.

2. 时间管理优化时间资源。思维管理优化创造力资源​

Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy.

3. 并不是所有的时间都是平等的:如果你每天写一个小时,一年之内你就会有一本书。但你不能简单地连续写 365 小时,并得到相同的结果。​

Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result.

4. 第一小时规则:把一天中的第一个小时花在你最重要的项目上。​

The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project.

5. 如果你从最重要的事情开始新的一天,那么其他事情妨碍你的机会就会减少。​

If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way.

6. 有时你的头脑更适合创造性思考。有时你的头脑更适合分析性思考。​

Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically.

7. 时间的意义不是把尽可能多的生命填满给定的时间单位。时间的意义在于以时间为指南,过上充实的生活。​

The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life.

8. 每天平均睡眠时间增加一小时,生产率的提高幅度超过受教育程度的一年增加幅度。​

A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education.

9. 当你随机地从一项活动切换到另一项活动时,你的能量就会流失……如果你一直这样做,那么你的能量就会很少。​

When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks...If you're doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction.

10. 知识工作者越忙碌,他们的创造力就越低。​

The busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were.

11. 噪音水平也会影响您创造性思考的能力……研究表明,大约 70 分贝的背景噪音水平最适合产生创意。​

Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively...studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation.

12. 事情不难做,难的是把我们自己放在做事情的思维状态中​

Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them
