情態副詞

Do you get to join the minimalism club when you own only 15 belongings?

當你只擁有15件財物時，你能加入極簡主義俱樂部嗎？

When you settle on one signature outfit to wear every single day?

當你確定了每天都要穿的一件招牌衣服？

Or when you finally realize that you don't really need a bed or a couch, you can just sleep on the floor.

或者當你終於意識到，你並不真正需要一張床或一張沙發，你可以直接睡在地板上。

While that's a perfectly fine variation of minimalism, minimalism is simply a way of thinking that emphasizes less is more and that owning more stuff, doing more things, knowing more people, isn't necessarily better.

雖然這完全是極簡主義的一個變種，但極簡主義只是一種強調少即是多的思維方式，擁有更多的東西，做更多的事情，認識更多的人，並不一定是更好的。

By removing things from our lives, we make room for what's important.

通過從我們的生活中移除事物，我們為重要的東西騰出空間。

Now, by some standards, I am a far cry from a minimalist.

現在，按照某些標準，我與極簡主義者相差甚遠。

I own too many clothes and don't wear a lot of them.

我擁有的衣服太多，穿的也不多。

I have lots of knickknacks with no practical purpose, they're just there for aesthetics, and I keep random photography props stashed under my bed.

我有很多沒有實際用途的小玩意，它們只是為了美觀，我還在床下隨便藏了一些攝影道具。

But hey, at least I listen to The Minimalists podcast.

但是，嘿，至少我聽《極簡主義者》播客。

But the ways in which I have chosen to apply minimalism to my life have greatly improved it.

但我選擇將極簡主義運用到生活中的方式，卻大大改善了我的生活。

It's important to remember that minimalism isn't all or nothing.

重要的是要記住，極簡主義並不是全有或全無。

Each minimalist change that you make to your life is a step in the right direction.

你對生活的每一次極簡主義的改變，都是在正確的方向上邁出的一步。

So you don't have to throw away a certain percentage of what you own before you can call yourself a minimalist.

所以，你不必把自己擁有的東西扔掉一定比例，才可以稱得上是極簡主義者。

You can call yourself a minimalist right now, here's your minimalist badge, I hereby declare you a minimalist, congratulations.

你現在就可以稱自己為極簡主義者了，這是你的極簡主義徽章，我在此宣佈你是極簡主義者，恭喜你。

Anyways, these are ten minimalist habits that keep my life simple, my mind clear, and my heart happier.

總之，這十個極簡主義的習慣，讓我的生活簡單，頭腦清晰，心裡更快樂。

I shiver when I see people's inboxes with hundreds of unopened emails, like what if you missed something important?

當我看到別人的收件箱裡有幾百封未開封的郵件時，我就會不寒而慄，比如你錯過了重要的東西怎麼辦？

So, I like to get to inbox zero by the end of each day, which just means that I've ideally responded to or at the very least opened all of my messages and emails, and if I can't get to it right then, I mark it as read and it's taken care of for now.

所以，我喜歡在每天結束前讓收件箱歸零，這只是意味著我最好已經回覆或者最起碼打開了所有的資訊和郵件，如果我當時不能馬上去看，我就會把它標記為已讀，它就暫時被處理掉了。

When my inbox consistently stays in the low range, I just feel more on top of things rather than feeling like I'm drowning in all the messages that I need to respond to.

當我的收件箱始終保持在較低的範圍內時，我只會覺得自己的事情更多，而不是覺得自己被淹沒在所有需要回復的資訊中。

It's amazing how much these folders can fill up for me.

這些文件夾能給我裝滿多少東西，真是太神奇了。

I take lots of screenshots, download lots of stuff when I'm making videos, and at the end of the week one of the most satisfying things is to just select it all and put it in the trash.

我在做視頻的時候，會拍很多截圖，下載很多東西，在一週結束的時候，最滿意的一件事就是把這些東西全部選出來，然後放到垃圾桶裡。

Not only does this take just a few seconds, but when I start the next week with a tidy computer, it's much easier to find what I'm currently working on.

這不僅只需要幾秒鐘的時間，而且當我帶著整潔的電腦開始下一週的工作時，就能更容易地找到我目前正在做的工作。

Recently, every time I check to see how long it took me to complete my morning routine, it's a solid 45 minutes, give or take like two minutes.

最近，我每次查看我花了多長時間來完成我的晨間例行工作，都是45分鐘，差不多兩分鐘吧。

But I've gotten really good at having a uniform morning and evening routine that I've perfected to include exactly what I need to start and end my day, and the beauty of it is that it's exactly the same every day, so I hardly need to think about it, and as a result, I have more mental space.

但我已經很好地掌握了一套統一的早晚作息時間，我已經完善了這套作息時間，包括了我一天的開始和結束所需要的內容，它的好處是每天都是一模一樣的，所以我幾乎不需要去想，是以，我有更多的心理空間。

There's nothing complicated about the way that I track income and expenses, I have a video all about that if you want to watch, but the point is that I update it daily, so by now it's like a second nature habit that's just part of my bedtime routine, and so my record is always accurate. I'm never wondering if I forgot to record something I bought because I only have to think about that day's transactions, and usually I can remember that far back.

我跟蹤收入和支出的方式並不複雜，如果你想看的話，我有一個視頻都是關於這個問題的，但重點是我每天都會更新它，所以到現在它就像一個第二天性的習慣，只是我睡前例行公事的一部分，所以我的記錄總是很準確。我從來不會懷疑自己是不是忘了記錄買了什麼東西，因為我只需要想想當天的交易，通常我都能記得那麼久。

I'm never wondering if I forgot to record something I bought because I only have to think about that day's transactions, and usually I can remember that far back.

我從來不會懷疑自己買的東西是不是忘了記錄，因為我只需要想想當天的交易，通常我都能記得那麼久。

I have just one magazine holder for all of my important papers and then a folder for each category like stuff from the eye doctor, personal bank account, business bank account, product warranties and manuals, etc.

我只用了一個雜誌架來放置我所有的重要文件，然後每個類別都有一個文件夾，比如眼科醫生的東西，個人銀行賬戶，商業銀行賬戶，產品保修和手冊等。

Once in a while I'll go through everything in here and throw away what's no longer important, and this makes it easy to find exactly what I need when I need it.

偶爾我會把這裡的所有東西都翻一遍，然後把不再重要的東西扔掉，這樣可以在我需要的時候很容易找到我需要的東西。

I used to hold on to so much stuff for the sake of memories, and now I've just had like a complete 360... or a 180 I guess.

我以前為了回憶而保留了那麼多東西 現在我已經有了一個完整的360度... 或者說180度，我猜。

Many people would say that I throw away too much, but I'll tell you this: I have never regretted throwing something away.

很多人會說我扔掉的東西太多，但我要告訴你。我從來沒有後悔過扔掉東西。

Not once have I thought, oh wow, man, I really wish I still had that lumpy pottery project from fourth grade to look at and reminisce about the good old days.

我沒有一次想過，哦，哇，夥計，我真希望我還有四年級時那個疙瘩的陶藝項目，可以看看，回憶一下過去的美好時光。

Without objects from my past weighing me down, I feel lighter and more free to move on to bigger and better things in my future.

沒有了過去的東西壓在我身上，我感覺更輕鬆，更自由，可以在未來去做更大更好的事情。

According to the Getting Things Done system by David Allen, there are two categories of stuff that you'll find in your workspace: what belongs there permanently and what is in transit and incomplete.

根據大衛-艾倫的 "完成任務 "系統，你會在工作空間裡發現兩類東西：哪些東西屬於永久存在的，哪些東西是在運輸途中和不完整的。

So permanent objects include supplies, reference material, decoration, and equipment, while the in-transit stuff is something that, for example, you need to make a decision about, you need to file away in the right place, or like a sticky note with a to-do reminder.

所以，永久性的物品包括用品、參考資料、裝飾品和設備，而在途的東西則是比如說你需要做一個決定，你需要把它歸檔在合適的地方，或者像便籤一樣，有一個待辦事項提醒。

And he recommends putting all of those "in transit" items into one "in tray".

而且他建議把這些 "在途 "的物品都放進一個 "在盤 "裡。

I just use the lid of a box from IKEA, it works.

So anything that doesn't have a home goes there and that way I know exactly what I need to take action on.

所以任何沒有家的東西都會放在那裡，這樣我就知道我需要採取什麼行動了。

Whenever I feel like my followed list on Instagram is getting cluttered, I go through and I just mass unfollow, and I feel kind of bad saying this because like, I'm also, you know, trying to build something on Instagram, but the same applies to you watching this: if you no longer get value from what I create, if it doesn't inspire you, cheer you up, please unfollow me.

每當我覺得我在Instagram上的關注列表越來越雜亂的時候，我就會通過，我就會大量取消關注，我覺得這樣說有點不好，因為就像，我也在，你知道，我也在嘗試在Instagram上建立一些東西，但同樣適用於觀看這個的你：如果你不再從我創造的東西中獲得價值，如果它不能激勵你，讓你振作起來，請取消關注我。

I don't want to have a negative impact, and that's the same thing that I'm trying to avoid when I cut down the list of people that I follow.

我不想產生負面影響，這也是我在削減我關注的人的名單時要避免的事情。

Honestly, these days my room just isn't really messy unless I'm filming something and have to completely destroy it, like I did today, but in the day to day, I've gotten so used to putting things away as I use them that when I officially tidy up my room at the end of the week, there's hardly anything for me to do.

說實話，這幾天我的房間就是不怎麼亂，除非我在拍什麼東西，要把它徹底毀掉，就像今天這樣，但在日常的生活中，我已經習慣了把東西隨用隨放，以至於當我在週末正式整理房間的時候，幾乎沒有什麼事情需要我去做。

When I'm working, for example, and I take a five-minute break, I'll look around and see what in my room I can put back where it belongs, and, poof, I'm back to having a clean space.

例如，當我在工作時，我休息五分鐘，我會環顧四周，看看我的房間裡有什麼東西可以放回原處，然後，噗，我又回到了一個乾淨的空間。

As a productivity YouTuber I am pretty much always thinking about how to do more.

作為一個生產力的YouTuber，我幾乎一直在思考如何做更多的事情。

There's a lot more I could be doing, I could be meal prepping, planning out my workouts, watching more documentaries, learning how to play the ukulele, but actually, I've realized that I'm okay with what I'm currently doing.

我可以做的事情還有很多，我可以做飯，可以計劃鍛鍊，可以看更多的紀錄片，可以學習如何彈四絃琴，但其實，我已經意識到，我對自己目前做的事情很滿意。

I think I've got a lot of good habits and projects going and I'm choosing to keep my life simple by not piling on other things unnecessarily just for the sake of doing more, or doing what everyone else is doing.

我覺得我已經有了很多好的習慣和項目，我選擇讓自己的生活變得簡單，不要為了做更多的事情，或者做別人都在做的事情，而無謂地堆砌其他事情。

So those are my ten minimalist habits, I hope this kind of shows how minimalism really can impact a lot of areas of your life.

所以這就是我的十個極簡主義習慣，我希望這算是展示了極簡主義如何真正影響你生活的很多領域。

It's not just about like, decluttering your closet or stuff like that, it's also about decluttering your mental space and your emotional space.

這不僅僅是關於喜歡， 解放你的衣櫃或類似的東西， 它也是關於解放 你的心理空間和你的情感空間。
