After reading tons of productivity books, I came across so many rules, like the two-year rule, the five-minute rule, the five-second rule.
在閱讀了大量提高生產力的書籍後，我發現了很多規則，比如兩年規則、五分鐘規則、五秒規則。
-
No, not that five-second rule.
不，不是那個五秒規則。
-
The problem is that these rules are meant for companies or entrepreneurs.
問題是，這些規則都是針對公司或企業家的，
-
But I was able to adapt them to my studies during med school and drastically cut down on my procrastination.
但我成功將它們運用到我在醫學院的學習中，大大減少了我的拖延症。
-
So I'm going to share with you two different two-minute rules for the next two minutes.
所以，接下來的兩分鐘，我將與大家分享兩條不同的兩分鐘規則。
-
The first two-minute rule comes from Getting Things Done by David Allen.
第一條兩分鐘規則來自 David Allen 的《把事情做好》一書。
-
He says, "If it takes two minutes to do, get it done right now."
他說：「如果只需兩分鐘就能完成，那就馬上去做。」
-
For example, if I need to take out the trash today, it takes two minutes to do.
例如，如果我今天需要倒垃圾，只需兩分鐘就能完成。
-
So if I'm thinking about it now, I might as well just do it now,
所以如果我現在就在想這件事，我還不如現在就去做，
-
instead of writing it down on a to-do list or probably forgetting about it or having to come back to it later, which takes more than two minutes.
而不是把它寫在待辦事項清單上，很可能會忘記它，或者不得不稍後再去想它，而這需要兩分鐘以上的時間。
-
That's how I see it.
我是這麼想的。
-
So here's a list of things that might take two minutes throughout the day, like organizing your desk or watering your plants or clipping those nasty nails.
以下列出了一天中可能需要兩分鐘的事情，比如整理辦公桌、給植物澆水或剪指甲。
-
I just do it when I notice it, but these little things start to add up.
我只在注意到它的時候才去做，但這些小事會逐漸累積起來。
-
So this rule biases my brain towards taking action and away from procrastination.
這條規則讓我的大腦偏向於採取行動，遠離拖延。
-
The second two-minute rule comes from Atomic Habits by James Clear.
第二條兩分鐘法則來自 James Clear 的《原子習慣》。
-
He says, "When you're trying to do something you don't really want to do, simplify the task down to two minutes or less."
他說：「當你想做一件不太想做的事情時，把任務簡化到兩分鐘或更短時間。」
-
So doing your entire reading assignment becomes just reading one paragraph or memorizing the entire periodic table becomes memorizing just 10 flashcards.
完成整個閱讀任務就變成了只讀一個段落，或者背誦整個元素週期表就變成了只背誦 10 張閃卡。
-
Now, some of you might think, "Yeah, this is just a Jedi mind trick. Like, why would I fall for it? How is this at all sustainable?"
有些人可能會想：「是啊，這不過是個絕地心靈把戲。我怎麼會上當呢？ 這怎麼可能持續下去？」
-
And to that, he says, "When you're starting out, limit yourself to only two minutes."
對此，他說：「剛開始的時候，限制自己時間不要超過兩分鐘。」
-
So back in med school, I wanted to build a habit of studying for one hour every day before dinner.
所以在醫學院時，我就想養成每天晚飯前學習一小時的習慣。
-
So I tried this trick, but I limited myself to just two minutes.
於是，我試了這一招，但我把自己的時間限制在兩分鐘之內。
-
I'd sit down, open my laptop, study for two minutes, and then close my laptop and went to do something else.
我會坐下來，打開筆電，學習兩分鐘，然後關上筆電，去做別的事情。
-
It seems unproductive at first, right? It seems stupid.
一開始似乎沒什麼效果，對吧？這似乎很愚蠢。
-
But staying consistent with this two-minute routine day after day meant that I was becoming the type of person who studies daily.
但是，日復一日地堅持這兩分鐘的例行公事，意味著我正在成為那種每天都學習的人。
-
I was mastering the habit of just showing up because a habit needs to be established before it can be expanded upon.
我正在養成只出現的習慣，因為習慣需要先建立起來，然後才能擴展。
-
If I can't become a person who studies for just two minutes a day, I'd never be able to become the person that studies for an hour a day.
如果我不能成為一個每天只學習兩分鐘的人，我就永遠無法成為一個每天學習一小時的人。
-
You got to start somewhere, but starting small is easier.
萬事開頭難，但從小事做起更容易。
-
There's a lot of other useful tips from books.
書中還有很多其他有用的技巧。
-
