These are tech products that have most improved my life.

這些都是最能改善我生活的科技產品。

As someone who tries out a lot of different things to optimize my life, these are the most impactful products that have stuck around.

作為一個經常嘗試各種方法來優化生活的人，這些產品對我的生活影響最大。

I'm not paid by any of these companies to say this or promote these products.

我說這些話或推廣這些產品，並沒有得到這些公司的任何報酬。

These are genuinely some of my favorite things and is why I wanted to make this video.

這些都是我真正喜歡的東西，也是我想製作這個視頻的原因。

I also thought that this might be a good time to make it because almost everything on here is on sale right now because of Black Friday discount.

我還想，現在可能是做這個的好時機，因為黑色星期五打折，這裡幾乎所有的東西都在打折。

So I'll make sure to have all the links in the description.

是以，我會確保在說明中提供所有鏈接。

I'm going to start with the cheapest ones before making my way up to the most expensive ones.

我打算先從最便宜的開始，然後再到最貴的。

So if you have a budget, then you probably want to wait until the end of the video.

是以，如果你有預算，那麼你可能想等到視頻結束。

It's an analog style timer with one really cool feature, and it's this red dial.

這是一款模擬式計時器，有一個非常酷的功能，那就是紅色錶盤。

I've actually mentioned this product a few times in some other videos, but it's still one of my favorite niche products.

實際上，我在其他視頻中也多次提到過這個產品，但它仍然是我最喜歡的利基產品之一。

Originally, it was actually designed for kids with ADHD, but they've actually done studies on this.

最初，它實際上是為患有多動症的孩子設計的，但實際上他們已經對此進行了研究。

And even for adults, they found that it increases the level of willpower because of this visual mechanism.

他們發現，即使是成年人，也會因為這種視覺機制而提高意志力水準。

Personally, I just think it's pretty rewarding to see the time count down.

我個人認為，看到時間倒計時很有成就感。

It's really easy to see how much time I have left without being distracted.

我很容易就能知道自己還有多少時間，而不會分心。

I use this almost every day to set Pomodoro's from when I'm working or even just taking a break.

我幾乎每天都用它在工作或休息時設置 Pomodoro。

You can do it in one hand and set it on your desk right there.

你可以單手操作，並把它放在你的辦公桌上。

Compared to regular study timers, I think this is a little bit less distracting and also way more satisfying.

與普通的學習計時器相比，我覺得這個計時器更不容易分散注意力，也更令人滿意。

The next product is a wireless ThinkPad keyboard.

下一款產品是無線 ThinkPad 鍵盤。

If you've never used a ThinkPad keyboard before, one of the things that make it so distinct from other keyboards is this red point in the middle.

如果你以前從未使用過 ThinkPad 鍵盤，那麼它與其他鍵盤的區別之一就是中間的這個紅點。

This red point actually allows you to control the cursor on your computer.

這個紅點實際上可以讓您控制電腦上的遊標。

So what I really like about this is that when you're typing and you need to move your mouse slightly, you don't actually have to move your hand over to your mouse.

我最喜歡的一點是，當你在打字時需要稍微移動滑鼠時，其實不用把手移到滑鼠上。

You can just use your index finger and move your mouse to where you need it to go.

您只需用食指將滑鼠移動到需要的位置即可。

In high school, I used to use a ThinkPad laptop as my main computer for like two years.

高中時，我曾用一臺 ThinkPad 筆記本電腦作為我的主電腦，一用就是兩年。

And after I switched to Mac, one of the things I missed the most was this red track point.

換成 Mac 後，我最懷念的就是這個紅色軌跡點。

It definitely takes some getting used to, but after you get used to it, you actually don't need to use the mouse at all.

這肯定需要一些時間來適應，但習慣之後，實際上就完全不需要使用滑鼠了。

For stuff like editing videos or very precise stuff, it still makes sense to use a mouse.

對於編輯視頻或非常精確的操作，使用滑鼠仍然是有意義的。

But for like scrolling or coding, it's really nice to have a quick access mouse that you can use on your keyboard.

但對於滾動或編碼等操作，有一個可以在鍵盤上使用的快速訪問滑鼠真的很不錯。

This is pretty nice to use if you are on a lot of calls because nobody can see that your hands are moving and you can control your mouse and keyboard.

如果您經常打電話，使用這個功能就非常不錯，因為沒有人會看到您的手在移動，而且您還可以控制滑鼠和鍵盤。

The next product is this Dymo Label Maker.

這實際上是一種模擬技術產品。

There are no batteries in it and it works mechanically.

But the reason I wanted to include it in this video is because labels are highly underrated.

但我之所以想把它放在這個視頻中，是因為標籤被嚴重低估了。

Not only do I use labels to organize where things should go, I also use labels to add additional information.

我不僅用標籤來整理物品的擺放位置，還用標籤來添加其他資訊。

So in Japan, there's actually a concept called the 5S System and it's a workplace organization system.

是以，在日本，實際上有一個叫做 5S 系統的概念，它是一種工作場所組織系統。

As for the details about the organization system, I'll make a dedicated video about that in the future.

至於組織系統的細節，我將來會專門製作一個視頻來介紹。

But the basic idea is that if there isn't a standard for where things should go, everything will trend towards chaos and disorganization.

但其基本思想是，如果沒有一個標準來確定事物的發展方向，那麼一切都將趨於混亂和無序。

So for example, for my drawers, I make labels to show what should go in that drawer and it's really easy to make sure I keep everything organized.

例如，我給抽屜貼上標籤，標明該放什麼東西，這樣就很容易確保所有東西都井井有條。

I also use labels to add additional information.

我還使用標籤來添加其他資訊。

Like for example, on my camera, I have a label to show the native ISO and even on my stepstool, I show the max weight.

例如，在我的相機上，我有一個標籤顯示原生 ISO，甚至在我的階梯凳上，我也顯示了最大重量。

It's a pretty small thing, but it really goes a long way.

這只是一件很小的事，但卻能起到很大的作用。

When you create a label for something, you naturally create a system for where that thing should go.

當你為某樣東西創建一個標籤時，你自然會為該東西的去向創建一個系統。

This makes it super easy to keep everything organized in my home and workspace.

這讓我的家和工作區的一切都變得井井有條。

The reason why I like this label maker is first, it's really easy to make one and keep everything organized.

我喜歡這個標籤製作器的原因是，首先，它真的很容易製作，讓一切都井井有條。

But second, I just think the label itself looks pretty cool.

其次，我只是覺得標籤本身看起來很酷。

You basically turn the dials for the letters you want and then once you cut it, you can stick it on any item.

基本上，你只需轉動刻度盤，就可以刻出你想要的字母，刻好後就可以貼在任何物品上了。

The reason why this clock is really cool is because you can actually install custom apps on it.

這款時鐘之所以很酷，是因為你可以在上面安裝自定義應用程序。

There's an app store with stuff that other people have made and some pretty useful things are like showing your next calendar event, a stock ticker, live subscriber counter, or even just a custom message.

這裡有一個應用程序商店，裡面有很多其他人制作的應用程序，其中一些非常有用，比如顯示下一個日曆事件、股票行情、實時訂閱計數器，甚至只是一條自定義消息。

If you know how to code, you can actually write your own apps for it.

如果你懂代碼，其實還可以為它編寫自己的應用程序。

是以，可能性真的是無窮無盡的。

I've tested a bunch of different fitness and sleep trackers and the Whoop is the one that I continue to use every day.

我測試過許多不同的健身和睡眠追蹤器，Whoop 是我每天都在使用的一款。

One thing that I like about the Whoop compared to other fitness trackers is that the battery lasts five to seven days and you never have to take it off.

與其他健身追蹤器相比，我喜歡 Whoop 的一點是，它的電池可持續使用五到七天，而且無需摘下。

Even when you charge it, it just comes with this battery puck and you can just slide it on and then it charges your Whoop.

即使在充電時，它也會附帶一個電池球，你只需將其滑動到電池球上，就能為 Whoop 充電。

The Whoop is really geared for people that do a lot of exercise and right now I'm doing marathon training.

Whoop 真的很適合經常運動的人，現在我正在進行馬拉松訓練。

So I really need something I could wear 24-7 to track my sleep, workouts, and recovery.

是以，我真的需要一個可以全天候佩戴的東西來跟蹤我的睡眠、鍛鍊和恢復情況。

You can wear it on your wrist, you can wear it on your bicep and because it doesn't have a display, the battery lasts super long.

你可以把它戴在手腕上，也可以戴在二頭肌上，而且由於它沒有顯示屏，電池的續航時間超長。

Every day you open the Whoop app, it asks you some additional information based on the things that you select and over time it shows you correlations of what affects your sleep, recovery, and workouts.

每天打開 Whoop 應用程序，它會根據你選擇的內容詢問你一些額外的資訊，隨著時間的推移，它會向你顯示影響你睡眠、恢復和鍛鍊的相關因素。

Compared to the other fitness trackers, this does probably have the highest price tag and it also is a monthly membership, which kind of sucks.

與其他健身追蹤器相比，這款產品的標價可能是最高的，而且還是包月會員，這有點糟糕。

But if you wanted to get the Whoop, I would recommend getting in Black Friday because they often sell a one-year membership for pretty cheap.

但如果您想獲得 Whoop 會員資格，我建議您在 "黑色星期五 "購買，因為他們通常會以相當便宜的價格出售一年的會員資格。

One of the pros and also the cons of the Whoop is that there is no display.

Whoop 的優點和缺點之一是沒有顯示屏。

So it's kind of hard to start and stop a workout when you want to track it, which leads me to the next product, an Apple Watch.

是以，當你想追蹤鍛鍊情況時，很難開始或停止鍛鍊，這讓我想到了下一款產品，Apple Watch。

So for me, I typically wear two devices, which is I wear the Apple Watch and I wear the Whoop like on my bicep or sometimes on my wrist.

對我來說，我通常會佩戴兩款設備，一款是 Apple Watch，另一款是 Whoop，比如戴在二頭肌上，有時也戴在手腕上。

The benefit of doing that is that I can very easily start a workout, like start a run for my Apple Watch and the Whoop will also capture that data as a run.

這樣做的好處是，我可以非常容易地開始鍛鍊，比如為我的 Apple Watch 開始跑步，Whoop 也會將這些數據作為跑步數據採集下來。

But the main reason why the Apple Watch is so powerful is because Apple Watches have gotten to the point now where you can basically use it as a dumb phone.

但 Apple Watch 如此強大的主要原因是，Apple Watch 現在已經發展到基本上可以當做一部傻瓜式手機使用的地步。

I previously made a dedicated video about this topic, but if you get an Apple Watch with cellular, you can actually use it to make calls, respond to notifications without having your phone around.

我之前專門製作了一個視頻來介紹這個話題，但如果你買的是帶蜂窩網絡的 Apple Watch，你其實可以用它來撥打電話、回覆通知，而無需隨身攜帶手機。

Even with WhatsApp notifications, you can leave your phone at home and reply to messages from your watch.

即使有 WhatsApp 通知，您也可以把手機留在家裡，用手錶回覆資訊。

Most of the time I use the Apple Watch Ultra because the battery lasts about two days.

大多數時候我使用 Apple Watch Ultra，因為它的電池可持續使用兩天左右。

But the Apple Watch SE is on sale right now for pretty cheap on Amazon.

不過，Apple Watch SE 現在正在亞馬遜上熱賣，價格相當便宜。

And I'll probably get that one if I didn't already have an Apple Watch.

如果我還沒有 Apple Watch，我可能會買那個。

The next product is pretty essential if you spend a lot of time sitting or you do a lot of exercise and it's the Hypervolt Go 2.

如果你長時間坐著或者經常運動，下一個產品就非常重要了，它就是 Hypervolt Go 2。

Because I do a lot of running, it's really useful to have a massage gun to not be so tight and to reduce muscle soreness.

因為我經常跑步，有了按摩槍就不會那麼緊繃了，也能減少肌肉痠痛。

If you sit a lot, it's also really helpful for relieving back tension.

如果你經常坐著，這對緩解背部緊張也很有幫助。

Like I find that it's pretty easy to use it on myself on my back.

我發現在我自己的背上使用它也很方便。

This is one of the cheapest models, but I think it works perfectly fine.

這是最便宜的型號之一，但我認為它使用起來非常好。

I actually prefer the design of this one and it's pretty compact.

實際上，我更喜歡這一款的設計，它非常小巧。

Because of Black Friday, you can actually get this one on discount for under $100.

由於黑色星期五的緣故，您實際上可以以低於 100 美元的價格買到這款打折產品。

Personally, I haven't found a need to get the more advanced ones or ones with a bunch of different heads.

就我個人而言，我還沒發現有必要買更高級的或有很多不同頭的產品。

I think this one with two heads works for pretty much everything that I needed to do.

我覺得這個有兩個頭的設備幾乎可以滿足我的所有需求。

This next one is the Books Palma, which is the e-ink reader that I use.

下一個是 Books Palma，這是我使用的電子墨水閱讀器。

Previously, I made a dedicated video showing how I set everything up on here, but basically I use it as a overpowered Kindle.

之前，我專門製作了一個視頻，展示我是如何在這裡設置一切的，但基本上我是把它當作一個功能強大的 Kindle 來使用的。

Because it runs Android underneath, you can actually install any Android app on here.

因為它運行的是安卓系統，所以你可以在這裡安裝任何安卓應用程序。

So it's perfect to use as a dedicated learning device.

是以，它非常適合用作專用學習設備。

It's one of my favorite things to bring around when I'm going on a trip.

這是我旅行時最喜歡帶的東西之一。

I like to do my Anki cards on here because it's easier on the eyes and I can also access my note-taking system through Obsidian on this device.

我喜歡在這裡做我的 Anki 卡，因為這樣眼睛更容易看清楚，而且我還可以在這臺設備上通過 Obsidian 訪問我的筆記系統。

I also use it to read Japanese books and it's pretty useful because I can install any dictionary I want to look up words.

我還用它來閱讀日語書籍，它非常有用，因為我可以安裝任何我想要的詞典來查詞。

The same widget that I mentioned in my last video is also compatible on Android.

我在上一段視頻中提到的 Widget 也與安卓系統兼容。

So if you set up the launcher to look like this, you can also have your habit tracker on the top.

是以，如果你把啟動器設置成這樣，你也可以把習慣跟蹤器放在頂部。

I used to use a Kindle for about 10 years, but honestly, I think the form factor of a phone makes a lot more sense for carrying it on the go.

我用 Kindle 有 10 年了，但老實說，我覺得手機的外形更適合隨身攜帶。

If you have an Apple Watch with cellular, then you also can just bring this device instead of your phone, which is a lot less distracting.

如果你有一個帶蜂窩網絡的 Apple Watch，那麼你也可以只帶這個設備而不帶手機，這樣就不會那麼分心了。

The last one is the most expensive item on here and I would only recommend it if you had the disposable income to invest in something like this.

最後一件是這裡最貴的商品，只有當您有可支配收入投資於這樣的商品時，我才會推薦您購買。

One of the first things I learned as I tried to optimize different aspects of my life is that sleep is one of the most important things to optimize.

在我嘗試優化生活的各個方面時，我首先了解到的一點是，睡眠是最需要優化的事情之一。

If you don't have a good sleep, then you're not gonna make good decisions, you're not gonna feel good and you're not going to be productive.

如果睡眠不好，你就不會做出正確的決定，你就不會感覺良好，你就不會有生產力。

So fixing my sleep and making sure I have good sleep every day is one of the highest impact things that I've done.

是以，解決我的睡眠問題，確保我每天都有良好的睡眠，是我做過的影響最大的事情之一。

So the Eight Sleep is a mattress hopper that allows you to cool or heat your bed.

是以，Eight Sleep 是一種床墊料斗，可以讓你的床冷卻或加熱。

The benefit of having this is that it makes it way easier to stay asleep and have better sleep.

這樣做的好處是可以讓人更容易保持睡眠狀態，睡得更好。
