We have an environment where not only will you not be able to do any work unless you're completely undistracted by things like social media, even text from your friends and otherwise, there is something to be said about the lack of focus that we have nowadays due to these issues.

在我們所處的環境中，除非你完全不受社交媒體、甚至朋友簡訊等的干擾，否則你將無法完成任何工作。

And for someone like me who has an addictive personality and previously had a lot of time spent on different applications and websites that wasted my time, I know exactly what it's like to need something to prevent me from getting distracted by these different platforms.

對於像我這樣有上癮性格的人來說，以前在不同的應用程序和網站上浪費了很多時間，我很清楚需要有什麼東西來防止我被這些不同的平臺分心。

So what I ended up resorting to is a tool.

是以，我最終使用了一種工具。

I tried everything before.

我之前什麼都試過了。

I tried just doing the screen time limit on my iPhone, which I found workarounds to.

我試過在 iPhone 上限制螢幕時間，但我找到了變通辦法。

I tried giving myself parameters even just mentally and in my environment to be less addicted to things.

我試著給自己一些參數，哪怕只是在精神上和環境上，讓自己不那麼沉迷於事物。

However, what ends up always occurring is that these applications will creep back up and get you on those platforms.

然而，最終總會出現的情況是，這些應用程序又會爬上來，讓你在這些平臺上使用。

The friction that you can put in front of yourself is limited unless you have a tool that can be a preventative layer on top of everything.

除非你有一種工具可以在所有事情上起到預防作用，否則你在自己面前施加的摩擦力是有限的。

And that is where Opal comes into play.

這就是澳普發揮作用的地方。

Opal is a great application that is the number one screen time reducer on any platform that I've ever seen.

Opal 是一款出色的應用程序，是我所見過的所有平臺上減少螢幕時間最多的應用程序。

It's the only device layered tool that allows you to save time in a way that I've seen across every device there is.

這是我在所有設備上見過的唯一能讓你節省時間的設備分層工具。

I have it on my Mac.

我的 Mac 上就有。

I have it on my iPhone, iPad, everything you can imagine.

我在 iPhone、iPad 上都安裝了它，你能想象到的我都有。

I mean, I'd probably have it on my Apple watch if there's, I think it actually might be an Apple watch widget on here.

我的意思是，我可能會把它放在我的蘋果手錶上，如果有的話，我想實際上可能是一個蘋果手錶小部件。

I'm not, not even kidding.

我沒開玩笑

And what's amazing about Opal is that even for free, you're able to prevent things on these different devices.

Opal 的神奇之處在於，即使是免費的，你也能在這些不同的設備上防止出現問題。

Like you don't have to pay for anything at the start of it.

比如一開始你不用支付任何費用。

It simply does something that I've never seen, which is prevent people from working in a way that is in a distracted environment.

它只是做了一件我從未見過的事情，那就是防止人們在分心的環境中工作。

I'm only on the free tier and I still get a lot out of it.

我只使用免費層，但我仍然從中獲得了很多。

But if you go and I press upgrade, you'll see that what you get for the paid version is actually pretty substantial.

但是，如果你按下升級按鈕，你會發現付費版本所能獲得的內容其實非常豐富。

Well, for free, you're able to essentially make working blocks and have the ability to either block items or whitelist them or set time limits.

好吧，如果是免費的，你基本上可以製作工作區塊，並有能力阻止項目或將其列入白名單或設置時間限制。

What you can do with the premium version is that deep focus for this product is the maximum level of protection and you can't bypass or cancel it.

您可以使用高級版本，因為該產品的深度關注是最高級別的保護，您無法繞過或取消它。

A lot of these different tools essentially allow you to have that out where you can, you know, go to a certain website and like for my free version, I can go to blocks and I can click on this.

很多這些不同的工具本質上都允許你將這些資訊發佈出去，你可以，你知道，進入某個網站，就像我的免費版本一樣，我可以進入區塊，然後點擊這個。

And in 19 seconds, I'm able to like snooze from this session and be able to go on YouTube again.

只需 19 秒，我就可以打盹，然後再上 YouTube。

Because for me, the different applications that I block are always going to be YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, those type of platforms.

因為對我來說，我屏蔽的不同應用總是 YouTube、Instagram、Twitter 這些平臺。

But I always have the ability to essentially snooze it for 15 minutes or leave the session early or even edit the session.

不過，我總是可以打盹 15 分鐘，或者提前離開會話，甚至編輯會話。

But with the pro version, I actually have the ability to force me to be in a blocked time all the time that I want to be blocked out.

但有了專業版，我實際上就有能力強迫自己在我想要屏蔽的時間內一直處於屏蔽狀態。

Now, this is what I should do.

現在，這是我應該做的。

And this is why on this video right now, I'm making the decision, the tangible decision to actually move towards a test, a test where I'm going to purchase this and get Opal Premium because I want to make that change in my life.

這就是為什麼在現在這個視頻中，我做出了一個決定，一個切實可行的決定，去進行一個測試，一個我要購買這個並獲得奧帕爾高級版的測試，因為我想改變我的生活。

With the recent way that the world has gone, especially in the United States, I am someone who has definitely dealt with the social media suck in that has been caused due to, I mean, I'm not going to say the words, but what happened on that fateful Saturday in July.

最近，世界，尤其是美國，發生了很多事情，我肯定也經歷過社交媒體的 "吮吸"。

And then a couple of weeks or then a week later, what happened on Sunday with the presidential candidate no longer being one.

幾周後或一週後，週日發生了什麼，總統候選人不再是候選人。

Here's my answer.

這就是我的答案。

I am running and going to win again.

我將再次參選並贏得勝利。

These are things that are historical events, and that's great to pay attention to, but maybe in the moment I don't need to spend hours and hours paying attention to it.

這些都是歷史事件，很值得關注，但也許當下我並不需要花幾個小時去關注它。

So I'm going to make this commitment right now to get the free trial and move forward with this being my life.

是以，我現在就承諾獲取免費試用版，然後繼續我的生活。

It's $99 per year.

每年 99 美元。

But if I think about it from a personal standpoint, the time that I will get back in my life from this, I think is substantial.

但如果我從個人的角度考慮，我認為這將為我的生活帶來可觀的時間回報。

I'm a champion of this product because it does save me time, but I want it to save even more time for me.

我是這款產品的擁護者，因為它確實為我節省了時間，但我希望它能為我節省更多時間。

And as you can see now, I have officially done it.

正如你們現在看到的，我已經正式做到了。

I've made it so that Opal will automatically launch when you boot your Mac.

我讓 Opal 在 Mac 啟動時自動啟動。

And as you can see now, as someone on the pro plan, I have a lot more options here.

正如你現在看到的，作為一個使用專業計劃的人，我在這裡有更多的選擇。

I have the ability to change this difficulty for my session to not only be timeout, but also be deep focus.

我有能力為我的會話改變這種難度，不僅是超時，而且是深度專注。

So what I currently have is I have Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.

我目前擁有 Facebook、Instagram、X 和 YouTube。

But I would really like to do is not only do apps blocked, but also have the ability to let myself do something like go into YouTube studio if possible, since I am somebody who needs to schedule items for my YouTube channel.

但我真正想做的是，不僅能屏蔽應用程序，還能讓自己做一些事情，比如進入 YouTube 工作室（如果可能的話），因為我是一個需要為 YouTube 頻道安排項目的人。

Basically, I'm going to try to figure out different ways that I can bypass me blocking the social aspects of my life while also, you know, adding things to it that allow me to work with the different items that matter to me.

基本上，我要嘗試找出不同的方法，既能繞過我阻斷我生活中的社交方面，又能添加一些東西，讓我能夠處理對我來說很重要的不同項目。

And what's really cool is with apps here, I actually have the ability to select applications from my Mac itself.

最酷的是，在這裡，我可以從 Mac 本身選擇應用程序。

And that's what I really like this.

這就是我喜歡它的原因。

So if I wanted to, for example, select the messages app to prevent myself from texting on this device, I think that would be very beneficial for me.

是以，舉例來說，如果我想選擇 "資訊 "應用程序來防止自己在這臺設備上發短信，我想這對我來說是非常有利的。

So I am actually going to add this as something on here, because when it comes to me texting on my Apple Watch, I'm actually okay with that when it when it comes to texting on my messages on my computer, when I'm doing work time, I really shouldn't be doing that.

是以，我實際上要在這裡添加這一點，因為當涉及到我在 Apple Watch 上發短信時，我實際上可以接受，但當涉及到我在電腦上發短信時，當我在工作時間時，我真的不應該這樣做。

So this allows me to go through a level of prevention that is just above anything I've ever experienced.

是以，這讓我經歷了前所未有的預防。

And if I set this session to be based off deep focus, I'm really limiting my ability to get distracted here.

如果我把這個環節設置為深度專注，我就真的限制了我在這裡分心的能力。

As you'll see now, if I press open messages, it just keeps preventing it from opening, which is hilarious.

正如你現在看到的，如果我按打開資訊，它就會一直阻止我打開，這太搞笑了。

And anytime I go on a website like YouTube is going to prevent me from going in there.

無論何時，我上 YouTube 這樣的網站都會阻止我進去。

So I'm going to make this commitment to everyone, I want to come back and do a 30 day challenge to showcase to you how this application can help me stay more focused, get more work done and prevent me from doing things that I know are not beneficial to when I'm getting work done.

是以，我要向大家承諾，我要回來挑戰 30 天，向大家展示這款應用程序如何幫助我更加專注，完成更多工作，並防止我做那些我知道對完成工作無益的事情。

So if you want to improve what you're doing, I'm not even out here sponsored by this platform.

所以，如果你想改進自己的工作，我甚至都不是由這個平臺贊助的。

I just think it's a great across all the different products.

我只是覺得它在所有不同產品中都很出色。

So I want you to try it out today.

所以，我想讓你今天就試一試。

But having said thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you in the next one.

說了這麼多，非常感謝大家收看，我們下期再見。
