2-min rule #4

我每一周都有一个长长的May do list。上面写着每天可以选择做的事情,比如说给树浇水,整理房间,或者给Jonny写封电子邮件。时常,一周过去,我的may do list 就被carry 到下一周。于是,这个may do list 有的时候就会变得特别长。

我尝试把每一件事所花费的时间记录下来,发现,其实很多事情并没有想象中需要得那么久。可是,我花了很多时间在为这些事情做心理建设,久而久之,就觉得心里面很累,却又不知道为什么。最近刚好在看一本书《Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity》 by David Allen。书中提到 “ If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now.” 我开始尝试,把给树浇树,变成,给水桶接满水;把整理房间变成,把衣服叠起来,或者,把衣服丢进脏衣篮;把给Jonny写封电子邮件变成,开始一封新邮件,把Jonny放在收件人那一栏。突然间,我发现很多事情变得容易开始了。

还有很多事情是没有办法很迅速完成的。通常,我会把它写下来,另找时间再做。我发现,大部分时候,并不是事情有多难,或者需要花多少时间。而是,我的内心有抗拒,有恐惧,有挣扎,我在逃避,我在拖延。所以,我开始提醒我自己, “ If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now. It if takes longer than that, then write it down. If you decided to start a task, start with the easist step then just do it for two minutes. We’ll go from there.”

Let’s take one step at a time. And this step can be just in 2 minutes only.

顺颂时祺,

⭐️About this week——

🎧 Audiobook 《人人都在晒,凭什么你出彩?》Show Your Work by Austin Kleon。 听了这本书之后,我更加确定要做自己喜欢做的事,把喜欢做的事情变成擅长做的事。利用网络,利用资源,把自己的专场做好做精。我推荐这本书。

📚Book 《领导力的5个层次》  5 Levels of Leadership by John C. Maxwell。书中提到“position, permission, production, people development, the pinnacle” 5个层面。如何提升自己的全方位领导力,高效率沟通能力书中有详细说明。对我而言,最大的体会是,作为个体,首先要认识自己,才能联结别人,之后才有可能建立关系,最后才谈论到领导力。而在当今这繁忙的生活中,我们有多少时间和机会是留给自己,用来认识自己的呢?

❤️Quote of the Week

“Everything you’ve told yourself you ought to do, your mind thinks you should do right now. Frankly, as soon add you have two things to do stored in your RAM, you’ve generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time. This produces an all-pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.”
David Allen from Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
