3 Ideas From Me
I. "Simple is nearly always better. But if it's going to be complicated, then make sure the problem is worth the complexity. A great deal of time is wasted creating complex solutions to relatively unimportant problems."
這個idea我覺得很適用,可以簡單解決的往往是比較好的,如果要把解決方案複雜化前,先評估這個問題是不是值得花時間。以免花了大量時間,解決了一個沒有關鍵性影響的問題。🙄 偏偏我所處的工作環境,就時常因為層層長官需要向上提報或是業績,而把簡單問題複雜化,複雜問題無解化😵😵😵 化繁為簡,精簡包裝,是我覺得比較高效率且務實的方式。
II. "Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started."
生活遭遇的狀況就像健行一樣,一但開始走,風景就變化了。不必在當下有答案,答案自然會在某時間湧現。
這個道理跟我教小孩一樣,不要求他們當下把複雜問題搞懂,但只要他能一步一腳印,把每個步伐踩穩,很多困難問題的解決方案,就在某個時間點下自然湧現,此時就像是靈光一閃,『我懂了!』那種感覺乍現。這個前提是要有在每一個步伐都能真正踏實踩穩,如果想要快步走過,往往問題的答案就在你步伐與步伐中間的空洞內。
III. A simple reminder from Atomic Habits: "Time will multiply whatever you feed it. Good habits make time your ally. Bad habits make time your enemy."
(Share this on Twitter) 原子習慣:時間會複利任何你餵予它的東西! 好習慣將時間化成朋友,壞習慣則讓時間變成敵人。
時間無法控制,也無法管理,能管理的只有自己的注意力,學會把時間當作朋友
2 Quotes From Others
I. Singer and songwriter, Aretha Franklin, on seeing people as more than just their worst moment: "You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off."

你不能單憑一樣東西定義一個人,也不應因為別人沒按照你的意思作而忽視那個人以往予你間的美好事物。
喜歡一個人需要千百個理由,但討厭一個人只需要一個。
II. Computer programmer Ward Cunningham on the importance of making fast, reversible decisions: "I can't tell you how much time is spent worrying about decisions that don't matter. To just be able to make a decision and see what happens is tremendously empowering, but that means you have to set up the situation such that when something does go wrong, you can fix it."

我無法告訴你有多少時間花在擔心無關緊要的決定上。 能夠做出決定並看看會發生什麼是極大的授權,但這意味著你必須設置這種情況,以便當出現問題時,你可以解決它。
未雨綢繆+謀定而後動
憂心你能掌控的,並做好因應對策。那些無法掌控的,就作好臨場應對即可。
1 Question For You
What is something wonderful about your life that you rarely appreciate as much as you should?
有甚麼是你生活中應該極為珍視卻沒有確實做到的呢?
當你沒有胃病時,你是不會察覺有胃這個器官。的確,生活中很多事物都習以為常,因此而不在珍視,應時常以虛擬實境看看,假設今天寵物死了會如何? 假設今早發現小孩長大到外地讀書了又如何? 作一些假設,把自己放進去體驗看看,或許就可以找到那些你習以為常,其實又極為珍視的事物。
