And then at the end of the week, they wonder, "Why didn't I get anything done this week?"

然後一週結束時，他們會想：「為什麼我這週什麼都沒做？」

I used to think that time management was the key to productivity.

我曾認為，時間管理是生產力的關鍵。

But the more I've looked at the lives of titans who inspire and motivate me, I realized there's only a finite amount of time that everyone has in the day.

但越觀察那些激勵和鼓舞我的成功人士，我就越發現每個人一天的時間是有限的。

So how are some people getting more done in less time than others?

那麼，為什麼有人可以用更少的時間完成更多的工作呢？

Is it skill?

是技術嗎？

I am an artist.

我是藝術家。

I am the best cat groomer in the whole world.

我是全世界最讚的貓咪美容師。

Is it speed?

是速度嗎？

I've never done speed. Is that how you do it?

我從來沒有吸過安非他命，是這樣做嗎？（註：speed 也有安非他命的意思）

No, baby. I now believe that your ability to get things done is intrinsically tied to how well you can concentrate.

寶貝們，這些都不是答案！我現在相信，能否把事情做好和集中力有本質上的關聯。

So more than time management, attention management is key.

比起時間管理，注意力才是關鍵。

If you find yourself constantly not meeting your goals, you may be an attention whore.

如果你發現自己經常無法達成目標，那你可能是個『時間管理大師』。

Spreading out your time here and there, Willy fucking nilly.

這裡分一點時間，那裡分一點時間，雨露均霑、亂七八糟。

Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think this was a slut shaming video?

喔，抱歉，以為這是個檢討淫娃的影片嗎？

No, honey, this is click bait for a cause.

別擔心，親愛的，只釣魚標題而已啦。

Now I do want to say here, it's equally important in attention management to make time to not have to monitor your attention.

但我想說的是，空出時間讓自己放鬆，不去在意有沒有集中也很重要。

Rest and relaxation are equally as important as productivity.

休息和放鬆與生產力同樣重要。

In fact, I would say rest and relaxation are necessary to have the ability to concentrate your attention.

事實上，我認為為了達到集中注意力，休息和放鬆是必須的。

I don't buy into hustle culture that advocates sacrificing your mental health, sleep, physical health, your social life or your overall well being.

我不相信主張犧牲心理健康、睡眠、身體健康、社交生活或整體健康的「奮鬥文化」。

We're not work horses.

我們不是勞動馬匹。

And also I don't like that we make horses work.

其實我也不喜歡人類讓馬勞動。

They don't get paid.

牠們根本沒有拿到報酬。

I don't understand.

我不懂。

But anyway, how can you concentrate your attention?

但無論如何，怎麼才能集中注意力呢？

One, meditation obvious.

一，冥想。

It requires the most basic, simple but impossibly difficult way to execute your focus.

這是集中你注意力最基本、簡單，但也最難的方法。

You just sit there and breathe for 15 minutes and keep your attention on your breath.

你只要坐在那裡呼吸 15 分鐘，把注意力專注在呼吸上。

Try not to get distracted.

儘量不要分心。

Wow, you'll find out real quick how easy it is to get distracted.

很快的，你會發現自己有多容易分心。

Two, if you're not sure about your attention skills, start logging your time spent in a calendar.

二，如果你不確定自己集中注意力的能力，請開始認真地在日曆上記錄自己花費的時間。

Seriously, just like how you track every single expense when you're trying to learn more about your financial life.

就像你想了解自己的財務狀況時，紀錄每一筆開支一樣。

Track your time spent if you want awareness of your time life.

如果想控管生活中的時間分配，紀錄你花的時間。

At the end of each week, you can see realistically where most of your attention goes and how good or bad you are at managing it.

每個星期結束時，你可以很真實地看到自己大部分注意力去了哪裡，以及你管理注意力的狀況。

And finally, three, practice small spurts.

最後，三，練習一點一點地集中。

We practice distraction every single day.

我們每天都在練習分散注意力。

We mindlessly squirrel through our phone.

漫不經心地滑手機。

We multitask.

一心多用。

We Internet surf when we have important deadlines.

在有重要繳交期限的時候上網。

We have become masters of distraction.

我們成了分心大師。

So if you wanna be a master of attention, you just have to practice it.

所以，如果想成為集中大師，只需要練習。

Take 10 minutes a day to focus on a specific task.

每天花 10 分鐘專注於某項具體任務上。

Whether that's meditation, writing, reading, what have you?

無論是冥想、寫作、閱讀，不論你做什麼。

Learn how to focus your attention in small doses and slowly amp up the time you dedicate to concentration as you get better.

學習如何一點一點地集中注意力，並隨著你的進步，慢慢地拉長你集中注意力的時間。

You're welcome.

不客氣。

I'm Anna Akana.

我是 Anna Akana。

Stay awesome, Gotham.

你最棒！

Cut!

卡！
