There is always something I know I got to do it, but I don't.

總有一些事我知道該做，但我沒有做。

I wait for the motivation to kick in, but it never comes when I need it.

我等待著動力的到來，但它總是在我需要的時候不來。

And suddenly around 2am, in the middle of night, I would get super hyped up about something and promise myself that I would change this time, only to find myself in the same position 3 days after.

突然在半夜兩點左右，我會因為某件事情而變得超級興奮，並向自己保證這次一定會改變，但三天後，我發現自己又陷入了同樣的境地。

What's worse is that the more I repeat this cycle, the more I doubt myself and feel awful.

更糟糕的是，越是重複這樣的循環，我就越懷疑自己，感覺越糟糕。

I used to say you don't need motivation, only think you need it's discipline.

我曾經說過，你不需要動力，只需要紀律。

But I disagree now, because completely relying on discipline is not sustainable in the long run and it causes burnouts.

但我現在不同意了，因為從長遠來看，完全依賴紀律是不可持續的，而且會導致倦怠。

So how can we get things done without relying on motivation, neither on discipline?

那麼，我們怎樣才能既不依靠動力，也不依靠紀律來完成任務呢？

I read dozens of books, watched hundreds hours of content, and with trial and error, I found the solution.

我讀了幾十本書，看了幾百個小時的內容，經過反覆試驗，我找到了解決辦法。

Today I'm going to introduce you the system I use to get things done and work without relying on motivation.

今天，我將向大家介紹我用來完成事情和工作而不依賴動力的系統。

So the major mistake we all do is not understanding the underlying reason why we struggle with motivation and procrastinate.

是以，我們都會犯的一個重大錯誤，就是不瞭解自己為什麼會缺乏動力和拖延的根本原因。

Without understanding what is causing it, it's almost like going to a doctor, getting a medication without getting a diagnosis.

在不瞭解病因的情況下，就像去看醫生，吃了藥卻沒有得到診斷一樣。

Imagine you're actually like an alzheimer, but get a medication for like diabetes.

想象一下，你其實就像一個老年痴呆症患者，但卻得到了一種治療糖尿病的藥物。

It doesn't make sense.

沒道理啊

Rather than like trying every single productivity tip you see online, it's much better to first understand the reason and try to solve that issue, so that you spend less time trying to figure out what works for you.

與其嘗試在網上看到的每一個提高生產力的小竅門，不如先了解原因並設法解決這個問題，這樣你就可以花更少的時間來找出適合自己的方法。

So there are a bunch of reasons why you might be struggling with motivation, and even the same person can struggle with different reasons depending on the season of their life.

是以，有很多原因會導致你在動力問題上掙扎，即使是同一個人，也會因為生活的不同季節而有不同的原因。

So today I decided to talk about the most common ones, which are lack of clarity, feeling overwhelmed, feeling unfulfilled, burnout, and also lack of system.

是以，今天我決定談談最常見的問題，即缺乏清晰度、感到不知所措、沒有成就感、職業倦怠以及缺乏系統。

If you're interested in other reasons and how to solve them, I will have videos coming, so stay tuned.

如果您對其他原因和解決方法感興趣，我還會製作視頻，敬請期待。

So most of us, I think including myself, really struggle with clarity, because we are taught, especially for interproductivity, we are taught that the more you get done, the better it is.

是以，我們中的大多數人，我想包括我自己在內，都在為清晰度而苦惱，因為我們被教導，尤其是在跨生產力方面，我們被教導做得越多就越好。

But one thing I learned after talking with other entrepreneurs is that most successful people actually only focus on a handful of things, and they just eliminate everything.

但我在與其他創業者交流後瞭解到，大多數成功人士其實只專注於少數幾件事，他們只是把所有事情都排除在外。

But to do so, we first need to be super clear on what to focus and what to eliminate.

但是，要做到這一點，我們首先需要超級清楚地知道什麼是重點，什麼是淘汰。

The first step we're going to do is actually dumping everything we have in our mind.

我們要做的第一步，實際上就是把腦海中的一切都傾倒出來。

I usually like to either use Notion or use my iPad for doing a brain dump.

我通常喜歡使用 Notion 或 iPad 進行大腦轉儲。

By beginning our day doing a brain dump, they eliminate the feeling of overwhelm, notifications popping in, and so many things that are distracting us.

通過開始一天的腦力勞動，他們可以消除不知所措的感覺、突然出現的通知以及許多讓我們分心的事情。

And all these things are inputs in our brain, so subconsciously, actually, we're getting like overwhelmed every single day, and that's completely normal.

所有這些東西都會輸入我們的大腦，所以在潛意識裡，我們每天都會感到不知所措，這完全是正常的。

When you do this even for once, you're going to see the immediate results of like getting clarity and feeling in peace.

當你這樣做的時候，哪怕只有一次，你就會看到立竿見影的效果，比如頭腦清醒，心情舒暢。

So whether you decide at 5, 10, or 15 minutes, the important thing is that you basically set yourself a deadline.

是以，無論你是決定 5 分鐘、10 分鐘還是 15 分鐘，重要的是你基本上給自己設定了一個最後期限。

The reason why we set a timer is because of the Parkinson's law.

我們設置計時器的原因是帕金森定律。

Basically, if you would give a task an hour, it's going to take an hour.

基本上，如果你給一項任務一個小時的時間，它就需要一個小時。

So if we're going to give a five minutes, it's going to take five minutes.

所以，如果我們要給五分鐘，那就得花五分鐘。

So step two is filter.

是以，第二步是過濾。

Go through your brain dump and write down 10 things you need to get done that day.

回顧一下你的大腦，寫下當天需要完成的 10 件事。

Now what we need to do is prioritizing them.

現在，我們需要做的是確定它們的優先次序。

So I'm actually terrible at prioritizing.

所以，我其實很不擅長釐清輕重緩急。

When I have 10 tasks in front of me, I look at them and I'm like, okay, which one should I do first?

當我面前有 10 項任務時，我看著它們，就會想，好吧，我應該先做哪一項？

Which one should I do next?

下一步該做哪個？

And then I get overwhelmed and I do nothing.

然後我就不知所措，無所事事。

So if you don't want to be like me, what I recommend is using the Eisenhower matrix.

是以，如果你不想像我一樣，我建議你使用艾森豪威爾矩陣。

It basically divides the tasks into four different categories based on their importance and also their urgency.

它基本上根據任務的重要性和緊迫性將任務分為四個不同的類別。

So the quadrant one is the important and urgent tasks.

是以，第一象限是重要和緊急的任務。

These are the tasks that requires your immediate attention.

這些都是需要您立即關注的任務。

Let's say the kitchen's floating or your toilet is broken like happened to me two weeks ago.

比方說，廚房漂起來了，或者馬桶壞了，就像兩週前我遇到的那樣。

We want to ideally get these done first so that we won't get stressed over them and we will also not face these consequences.

我們希望最好能先完成這些工作，這樣我們就不會因為這些工作而感到壓力，也不會面臨這些後果。

Next step, we have the Q2 tasks.

下一步，我們將執行 Q2 任務。

These are important but not urgent tasks.

這些都是重要但不緊急的任務。

Oftentimes because they don't have a deadline, we always say that we're going to start someday and then that someday never comes.

很多時候，因為沒有最後期限，我們總是說總有一天會開始，但總有一天卻永遠不會到來。

I always did that.

我總是這樣做。

A couple of years ago, I would always tell myself that I'm going to start working out tomorrow and that tomorrow never came.

幾年前，我總是告訴自己，明天就要開始鍛鍊了，但明天卻從未到來。

So one day I said, okay, I should actually schedule a time in my calendar.

所以有一天我說，好吧，我應該在日曆上安排一個時間。

If you don't make actively time for your Q2 tasks, you will never have time for them.

如果你不積極為第二季度的任務安排時間，你就永遠沒有時間去完成它們。

Once I started to actually commit to working out, I got actually quite jacked in like two years.

一旦我開始真正投入到鍛鍊中，我在兩年內就變得相當魁梧。

Not really sure whether you can see my muscles, but I'm like pretty healthy and doing pretty well.

我不太確定你是否能看到我的肌肉，但我好像很健康，做得很好。

Let's see whether you can see them.

讓我們看看你是否能看到它們。

Maybe not that much.

也許沒那麼多。

But yeah, I will include some pictures.

不過，我會附上一些照片。

Don't worry about it.

別擔心。

Okay.

好的

And then we also have the Q3 tasks.

此外，我們還有第三季度的任務。

These are the urgent ones, but not important.

這些都是緊急的，但並不重要。

For example, like work emails that you don't care about.

例如，你並不關心的工作郵件。

So we're going to always do the Q1 first, schedule time for the Q2, batch Q3, and try to eliminate Q4.

是以，我們總是先做第一季度的工作，安排時間做第二季度的工作，分批做第三季度的工作，儘量不做第四季度的工作。

Once you create this list of 10 different tasks, make sure that there's at least one task in Q2.

創建好這份包含 10 項不同任務的清單後，確保第二季度至少有一項任務。

If there are nothing in Q2, that is a very big red flag.

如果第二季度什麼都沒有，那就是一個很大的信號。

I would go through my list once again and find one in Q2.

我會再次查看我的清單，在第二季度找到一個。

Now, step three is going to be picking your focus of the day.

現在，第三步就是選擇你今天的重點。

This is going to be something that is going to get closer to your long-term goals.

這將是一件更接近你的長期目標的事情。

Whether that's working out, whether that's working on your business, maybe taking online courses, maybe spending more time with your family, or let's say going to a therapy.

無論是鍛鍊身體，還是做生意，或者是學習在線課程，或者是花更多的時間陪伴家人，或者是接受心理治療。

Something like that.

差不多就是這樣。

This focus of the day should be something that is going to make you more fulfilled and happy in the long term.

每天的重點應該是能讓你更充實、更快樂的事情。

If you have an all or nothing attitude like me, starting from I think 20 minutes is a really good spot, because if you do something 20 minutes every single day, you actually see a significant amount of results, and also if you have more time, you can spend more time on it.

如果你像我一樣抱著要麼全做要麼全不做的態度，我認為從 20 分鐘開始是一個非常好的起點，因為如果你每天都做 20 分鐘的事情，你就會看到顯著的效果，而且如果你有更多的時間，你就可以花更多的時間來做這件事。

The important thing is that every single day, you pick a focus of the day and do something for your future self, and saying no to all the deadlines, all the distractions, all the obligations that you have, and making time for yourself.

重要的是，你每天都要選擇一個重點，為未來的自己做些事情，對所有的期限、所有的干擾、所有的義務說不，為自己留出時間。

Whenever I don't make actively time for the things that I care, and gives me fulfillment I really start to question the meaning of life, and life starts to feel really pointless, and everything becomes boring, and that really demotivates me, and I start to procrastinate.

每當我不積極騰出時間去做我關心的、能給我帶來成就感的事情時，我就會開始懷疑生活的意義，生活開始變得毫無意義，一切都變得枯燥乏味，這真的會讓我失去動力，我就會開始拖延。

When picking your focus of the day, you can use a Notion template like mine, or you can use this app Widget, where you can type a note and put it on the screen of your phone, so that whenever you unlock your phone, you see it.

在選擇一天的重點時，你可以使用像我這樣的 Notion 模板，也可以使用這個應用程序 Widget，你可以在上面輸入備註並把它放在手機螢幕上，這樣只要你解鎖手機，就能看到它。

Whatever it is, it's important that you write this in somewhere else, that you can easily see it.

不管是什麼，重要的是你要把它寫在其他地方，這樣你就能很容易地看到它。

Speaking of Notion, they've recently launched an amazing feature called Q&A.

說到 Notion，他們最近推出了一項名為 "問與答 "的精彩功能。

This feature provides instant answers to your questions, using information from across your workspace.

該功能可利用整個工作區的資訊即時回答您的問題。

It's like having your own executive assistant that you can bug 24x7 with questions.

這就好比你有了自己的行政助理，你可以全天候地向她請教問題。

Let's say you had a meeting with your team, but can't remember the task you need to handle.

比方說，你和團隊開了個會，但卻記不起需要處理的任務。

No worries, you can ask the Q&A.

不用擔心，您可以問答。

Or let's say you're using Notion for school, and you want to find a specific class note, you can ask Q&A.

比方說，你在學校使用 Notion，想查找某個特定的課堂筆記，你可以問 Q&A。

The difference between Q&A and traditional AI chatbots is, Q&A understands your business, previous decisions, and meeting notes to provide accurate and relevant answers.

問答與傳統人工智能哈拉機器人的區別在於，問答可以瞭解您的業務、以往的決策和會議記錄，從而提供準確、相關的答案。

It only uses the internal knowledge within your Notion workspace, making it far more personalized than other AI models trained on publicly available information.

它只使用 Notion 工作區的內部知識，是以比其他根據公開資訊訓練的人工智能模型更加個性化。

It saves so much time and reduces repetitive questions, whether you're trying to find company policies or trying to check a project status, instead of messaging your coworker or your friend to find the answer you need, you can simply ask Q&A.

它節省了大量時間，減少了重複性問題，無論你是想查找公司政策，還是想查看項目狀態，你都可以通過簡單的問答來找到所需的答案，而不是給同事或朋友發消息。

It will also give you the link to the relevant Notion page so that you can dive deeper if you need to.

它還會為您提供相關 "概念 "頁面的鏈接，以便您在需要時深入瞭解。

If you're already a Notion AI user, you can get started today with Q&A already in your Notion workspace.

如果您已經是 Notion AI 用戶，今天就可以開始使用 Notion 工作區中的問答。

You can get started with Notion AI for only $10 a month.

您只需每月支付 10 美元，即可開始使用 Notion AI。

If you're interested trying out, join the waitlist to get early access.

如果您有興趣嘗試，請加入候補名單，以便儘早體驗。

I have my link in the description below.

我在下面的描述中提供了我的鏈接。

At this point, we should have 10 tasks in our list and one focus of the day.

此時，我們的清單上應該有 10 項任務和一個當日重點。

So now, out of these 10 tasks, we're going to eliminate 5 of them.

現在，在這 10 項任務中，我們要去掉其中的 5 項。

Yes, you heard it right, we're going to eliminate 5 of them.

是的，你沒聽錯，我們要淘汰 5 個。

One thing that I learned over time is that, even though sometimes I think I have to get this done today or I'm going to die, I do it the next day, or maybe the day after.

隨著時間的推移，我學會了一件事，那就是，儘管有時我覺得今天必須完成這件事，否則我就會死，但我還是會在第二天，或許是後天去做。

And it's actually not end of the world.

事實上，這並不是世界末日。

In the beginning, you might not be able to eliminate if you have been procrastinating for a while and things piled up.

一開始，如果你拖延了一段時間，事情堆積如山，你可能無法消除。

But make sure that it's absolutely a must if you can't eliminate.

但要確保，如果不能消除，就絕對必須這樣做。

One thing that you can do is that, only to get them done, once you've accomplished your top 5 and also your daily highlight.

你可以做的一件事是，只有在完成了你的前 5 項任務和每日重點任務後，才去完成它們。

Once you've finished these, then you can work on the remaining tasks.

完成這些任務後，您就可以著手處理剩餘的任務了。

If you skip your daily highlight and keep focusing on urgent tasks, you will get burnout and you will find yourself in the same position.

如果你跳過每天的重點工作，繼續專注於緊急任務，你就會產生倦怠感，你會發現自己處於同樣的境地。

So it's actually a non-negotiable for this method to work.

是以，要想讓這種方法奏效，這實際上是一個不可或缺的條件。

I think most of the productivity methods just doesn't have this step, and this is the most important step in my opinion, at least for me.

我認為大多數提高生產力的方法都沒有這一步，而在我看來，這是最重要的一步，至少對我來說是這樣。

At the end of each day, I sometimes forget it, I'm not going to lie, but at the end of each day, ideally, I'm supposed to do it and you're supposed to do it, is go through your task list and look at how many of them you got done.

每天結束時，我有時會忘記，但在理想情況下，我應該這樣做，你也應該這樣做，那就是瀏覽你的任務清單，看看你完成了多少。

So the top 3 and the daily focus is a non-negotiable.

是以，前三名和每天的重點工作是不容商量的。

If you get done your top 3 tasks and your daily focus, you're going to give yourself a tick.

如果你完成了前 3 項任務和每日重點工作，你就會給自己打一個"√"。

And if you couldn't get done your top 3 tasks, you know, your daily focus, these are just like a set, then you give yourself a 1 cross.

如果你無法完成你的前 3 項任務，你知道，你的日常重點，這些就像一組任務，那麼你就給自己打 1 個叉。

And the important thing is tracking this in a visible position.

重要的是，要在可見位置進行跟蹤。

Whether that's a notion template that you have and where you track it, or whether it's a whiteboard, or whether it's a sticky widget, or whether it's your like apple notes, doesn't matter.

不管是你的概念模板，還是白板、粘貼小部件、蘋果筆記，這些都不重要。

It should be in a place where you see it all the time.

它應該放在你經常能看到的地方。

So that you subconsciously make it sure and make it important that this actually matters for you.

這樣，你就會下意識地確保並重視這一點，因為這對你來說確實很重要。

Because one actually really important thing I learned is that out of sight, out of mind is so true.

因為我學到了一件非常重要的事，那就是 "眼不見，心不煩"。

If I'm not seeing it visually, you know, on a whiteboard, then I forget about it and I never do it.

如果我沒有在白板上直觀地看到它，那麼我就會忘記它，永遠也不會去做。

So make sure that every single day you track it.

是以，請確保每天都進行跟蹤。

And I think actually doing this on a whiteboard kind of like becomes a game and being able to see that first thing in the morning really motivates me actually.

我覺得在白板上做這些事情就像在玩遊戲一樣，能夠在早上第一件事上看到這些，真的會激勵我。

Sometimes things don't go well.

有時事情並不順利。

I mean, 90% of the time things don't go well, to be honest.

老實說，90% 的情況都不太順利。

But one important thing is that we never skip two days in a row.

但有一點很重要，那就是我們從不連續跳兩天。

I mean, if something extreme happens, obviously you have all the rights to rest, but I'm not talking about that.

我的意思是，如果發生了極端的事情，顯然你有權休息，但我說的不是這個。

And you know that.

你也知道這一點。

Once we have marked our day, the last important step is writing down in one sentence what went well and what could have been better.

一旦我們標記了自己的一天，最後一個重要步驟就是用一句話寫下哪些地方做得好，哪些地方可以做得更好。

This is going to be the action point for tomorrow.

這將是明天的行動要點。

And by looking at this, we're going to try to prevent the same mistake happening.

通過研究這個問題，我們將努力避免同樣的錯誤發生。

Maybe that day you forgot to turn off your notifications and you got a call from your friend and you ended up chatting for three hours, which I did last week.

也許有一天你忘了關閉通知，結果接到了朋友的電話，你們聊了三個小時，我上週就是這樣。

So it was actually my feedback for a couple of days ago to the next day.

所以，這其實是我幾天前到第二天的反饋。

You know, just put your phone in do not disturb mode depending on your life.

根據你的生活習慣，將手機設置為 "請勿打擾 "模式。

The reason why you're struggling is going to be different.

你們掙扎的原因會有所不同。

So we can't act like there's going to be a one magical method that is going to like cure it.

是以，我們不能認為會有一種神奇的方法可以治癒它。

Like, oh, GTD method, cure everything that all the problems you have in your life.

比如，哦，GTD 方法，可以治癒你生活中的所有問題。

Like it doesn't work like that.

好像不是這樣的

I don't know.

我不知道。

At least it doesn't work like that for me.

至少對我來說不是這樣。

So by reflecting every single day of like what went well, maybe you went to a cafe and you were like really able to focus.

所以，通過每天反思自己的進步，也許你去了一家咖啡館，你真的能夠集中精力。

So do that next day again, the same thing by repeating the things that went well and by eliminating the things that maybe didn't go that well.

所以，第二天再做同樣的事情，重複做順利的事情，剔除可能不那麼順利的事情。

We give ourselves every single day a chance to improve.

我們每天都給自己一個進步的機會。

So by doing this, you start to rely on motivation and discipline less and less and less.

這樣做，你對動力和紀律的依賴就會越來越少。

And because we gamify this and we also try to understand our emotions and behaviors, it gives a very high awareness of your actions.

由於我們將其遊戲化，而且我們還試圖瞭解我們的情緒和行為，是以它能讓你對自己的行為有很高的認識。

It actually made me realize that I'm a human and I'm not a robot.

實際上，它讓我意識到，我是一個人，我不是一個機器人。

And depending on, you know, the things that is happening around me, sometimes my motivation, my drive like flows.

根據我周圍發生的事情，有時我的動力和驅動力會流動起來。

I learned that.

我知道了

And the important thing is rather than pushing yourself all the time and telling yourself like, oh, you're a loser, rather than doing that, understanding the situation, adapting to it and knowing what to do in those scenarios is going to help you more in the long run.

重要的是，與其一直逼迫自己，告訴自己 "哦，你是個失敗者"，不如去了解情況，適應它，知道在這種情況下該怎麼做，這對你的長遠發展更有幫助。

If you like this video and found it helpful, I'm currently working on creating a free community where I can connect to like-minded people and also add a master guide, maybe a mini course, maybe a PDF, who knows, about time management for different reasons.

如果你喜歡這個視頻並覺得它對你有幫助，我目前正在創建一個免費社區，在那裡我可以與志同道合的人建立聯繫，還可以添加一個大師指南，也許是一個迷你課程，也許是一個 PDF，誰知道呢，關於不同原因的時間管理。

Today, we mainly covered overwhelm, burnout, lack of clarity and lack of fulfillment.

今天，我們主要討論了不堪重負、職業倦怠、缺乏清晰度和缺乏成就感等問題。

In upcoming videos, I'm thinking about covering other areas.

在即將播出的視頻中，我想介紹其他領域。

So if you're interested, let me know in the comments and see you soon.

如果您感興趣，請在評論中告訴我，我們很快就會見面。
