How is someone meant to balance working full time with constantly learning and upskilling, while getting enough sleep, while exercising and taking care of your health and then spending time with your loved ones and then having free time for hobbies.

一個人如何才能在全職工作與不斷學習和提高技能之間取得平衡，同時保證充足的睡眠，鍛鍊身體，照顧好自己的健康，然後花時間與夫妻在一起，然後有空閒時間來培養自己的愛好。

Yes it is, but only if you think in systems.

是的，但前提是你要用系統思維。

I've spent over a decade coaching thousands of professionals to learn efficiently and succeed in their careers while having enough time and freedom to live life.

十多年來，我指導成千上萬的專業人士高效學習，在事業上取得成功，同時擁有足夠的時間和自由去享受生活。

And in my experience, thinking in systems is the secret to regaining control and freedom so that you're not stuck on that hamster wheel of constantly feeling busy while at the same time not making progress on the things that you really care about.

根據我的經驗，系統思考是重新獲得控制和自由的祕訣，這樣你就不會被困在倉鼠輪上，總是覺得自己很忙，但同時又無法在你真正關心的事情上取得進展。

So in this video I'll explain what thinking in systems actually means and I'll share with you some simple ways to build systems for your own goals utilizing the same principles I use when I'm coaching clients.

是以，在本視頻中，我將解釋系統思考的實際含義，並與你分享一些簡單的方法，利用我在輔導客戶時使用的相同原則，為你自己的目標建立系統。

So what does thinking in systems actually mean?

那麼，系統思考究竟意味著什麼呢？

The point of thinking in systems is that you reduce your reliance on thinking in terms of willpower and motivation.

系統思維的意義在於，你可以減少對意志力和動機思維的依賴。

The aim is to reduce your dependency on these two things and instead what we do is that we build processes that automatically help us to achieve the types of results that we're looking for.

我們的目標是減少對這兩樣東西的依賴，取而代之的是，我們建立的流程可以自動幫助我們實現我們正在尋找的結果類型。

And once you find the processes that actually work, you then chain these processes together and now you've got a system.

一旦你找到了真正有效的流程，你就可以把這些流程串聯起來，現在你就有了一個系統。

Most people are operating in terms of intentions and tasks.

大多數人都是按意圖和任務來操作的。

So thinking I need to exercise today or I need to get more sleep or I need to finish that course.

於是就想，我今天要鍛鍊身體，或者我要多睡一會兒，或者我要完成那門課程。

But when you're busy it is difficult to turn these intentions into reality.

但是，當你很忙的時候，就很難把這些願望變成現實。

Now if you're more proactive you go from these intentions and then you turn these intentions into plans.

現在，如果你更加積極主動，你就會從這些意圖出發，然後把這些意圖變成計劃。

So for example it's not just I need to read more, it's I'm going to spend an hour every evening to dedicate to reading and it's not just I need to exercise more.

是以，舉例來說，不僅僅是我需要多讀書，而是我要每天晚上花一個小時來讀書，也不僅僅是我需要多運動。

It's okay when I get home from work I'm going to use that time to exercise every day.

沒關係，下班回家後，我每天都會利用這段時間鍛鍊身體。

I've made a plan but what happens if you're too tired?

我已經制定了計劃，但如果你太累了怎麼辦？

What happens on day three of your plan and then you realize you haven't even started yet?

在計劃的第三天，你發現自己甚至還沒有開始，會發生什麼呢？

And point you just feel frustrated and disappointed in yourself because yet again your plans haven't come to fruition.

而你只是對自己感到沮喪和失望，因為你的計劃又一次沒有實現。

So let's look at this same problem through the lens of thinking in systems.

是以，讓我們從系統思維的角度來看待這個問題。

And there are three principles that I want you to keep in mind whenever you're thinking in systems which will help you to build a system for your own goals.

每當你進行系統思考時，我都希望你牢記三個原則，這將有助於你為自己的目標建立一個系統。

The first principle when we're thinking in systems is to think about things holistically.

當我們進行系統思考時，首要原則是全面思考問題。

You look at your intention and then you think about all the factors that would influence the success of that goal and that intention.

你要看清自己的意圖，然後思考影響目標和意圖成功的所有因素。

So you are proactively expecting that plan to fail.

所以，你是在主動期待這個計劃失敗。

You're expecting to be tired and lazy and for things to come up and you're asking yourself what can I do about that?

你期待著疲憊和懶惰，期待著事情的發生，你問自己我能做些什麼？

And so when I'm coaching someone to build their own systems one of the first things I'll do is I will ask them about all the things they've tried in the past and then why that didn't work for them.

是以，當我指導別人建立自己的系統時，我會做的第一件事就是詢問他們過去嘗試過的所有方法，以及為什麼這些方法對他們不起作用。

I'm paying close attention to what they did but also how they responded to that obstacle or that challenge.

我不僅密切關注他們做了什麼，還關注他們如何應對障礙或挑戰。

It's important that you do this step because you need this list of all the possible barriers because there's a high chance that the system you end up creating is going to have to account for all of these factors.

完成這一步非常重要，因為您需要列出所有可能的障礙，因為您最終創建的系統很有可能必須考慮到所有這些因素。

And this is actually directly tied to the second principle which is that you should build your system for repeatability.

這實際上與第二條原則直接相關，即你應該建立一個可重複的系統。

You do not want to develop a system of doing something that relies on like all the stars aligning.

你不希望建立一個依賴於眾星捧月的做事系統。

You want it to work on the worst day and so if you think about your intention and the plans that you have made you can evaluate these plans in terms of how repeatable they are on a bad day and ask yourself does it rely on willpower or motivation for me to plan?

是以，如果你想一想你的意圖和你制定的計劃，你就可以評估這些計劃在壞天氣裡的可重複性，並問問自己，我制定計劃是靠意志力還是靠動力？

And for the overwhelming majority of the clients that I work with most of the plans that are created usually require you to inject motivation and willpower to make it happen and that is a violation of the second principle which is to build for repeatability.

對於絕大多數與我合作的客戶來說，他們制定的大多數計劃通常都需要你注入動力和意志力才能實現，這就違反了第二條原則，即建立可重複性。

You want to make sure that there is as little friction as possible and so what happens when we work with these two principles and in thinking systems is that you actually end up sort of cycling back and forth between these two principles.

是以，當我們使用這兩個原則和思維繫統工作時，就會出現這樣的情況：實際上，你最終會在這兩個原則之間來回循環。

You figure out something that is high effort that means that you know you're going to rely on this willpower and then you think about ways to avoid that.

你要想出一些高難度的事情，這意味著你知道你要依靠這種意志力，然後你要想辦法避免這種情況。

有什麼方法可以讓我的工作更輕鬆？

And then you go back and ask yourself okay well what are the challenges?

然後你再回過頭來問自己，好吧，挑戰是什麼？

What are the other factors that might make that plan not work?

還有哪些因素可能導致該計劃無法實施？

So for example there's this accountant that I was working with last year who was studying for their chartered accountancy exams which is a pretty dense exam and they're full-time as well and their plan to begin with was that they were going to do a bit of studying for their CA exams every day after work as soon as they got home.

例如，去年我曾與一位會計師合作，他正在學習特許會計師考試，這是一個非常密集的考試，而且他們也是全職工作，他們一開始的計劃是，每天下班後一回到家，就開始學習一點特許會計師考試的知識。

Now this plan failed like all the time because there's too much traffic and sometimes he gets too tired on his drive home and then he gets home and there's family and he has to you know prepare dinner and then after dinner he's like too tired and too sleepy he just wants to relax and so one solution to that which is the you know forget it if you're tired you know who cares if you're tired just do it anyway.

現在這個計劃總是失敗，因為交通太擁擠了，有時他開車回家太累了，然後他回到家，家裡還有家人，他必須準備晚餐，晚餐後他太累了，太困了，他只想放鬆一下。

And yes that can work for a period of time but personally I don't believe that that is sustainable and it's also kind of like a not a pleasant way to live every day.

是的，這可以在一段時間內奏效，但我個人認為這不是可持續的，而且這也是一種不愉快的生活方式。

So instead when we think in systems holistically and for repeatability we look at that problem and we say okay sure what can we do about that?

是以，當我們從系統的整體性和可重複性角度考慮問題時，我們就會說，好吧，我們能做些什麼呢？

Perhaps we can stay at work for longer after work and then you beat the traffic you do the work and the study that you need to do in your office and then you come home after that.

也許我們可以下班後在公司多待一會兒，然後你就可以在辦公室裡避開交通堵塞，做你需要做的工作和學習，之後你就可以回家了。

So that's us trying to reduce the amount of effort tackle some of these barriers that come up in terms of feeling too tired not enough energy and so we go back here and think okay well what are the reasons why that might not work?

是以，我們要努力減少工作量，解決感覺太累而精力不足的一些障礙，所以我們要回過頭來想一想，這可能行不通的原因是什麼？

So in this case it's if I come home that late then my entire family has to push back their dinner time.

是以，在這種情況下，如果我那麼晚回家，全家人的晚餐時間就得延後。

Could you have a conversation with your family and maybe they were fine with it maybe they can just push back dinner by an hour and it's no big deal and then we have one.

你能不能和家人商量一下，也許他們沒意見，也許他們可以把晚飯延後一個小時，這沒什麼大不了的，然後我們就可以吃一頓了。

So that was one option and then we explored another option okay could we just study another time of the day?

是以，這是一個選擇，然後我們探討了另一個選擇，好吧，我們能不能在一天中的另一個時間段學習？

Could you study before work in the morning?

The issue is well then I'm not going to get enough sleep.

Okay so could you sleep earlier to get enough sleep?

好吧，那你能早點睡，以獲得充足的睡眠嗎？

Well I can't because in the evening whatever.

Okay could you change your nighttime routine to make that happen?

你能改變一下你的夜間生活習慣嗎？

So you see we're constantly bouncing back and forth between looking for that low effort solution and then going back to think about all the reasons why might not work until we arrive at this combination that allows us to lock in that success.

所以，你看，我們一直在尋找低成本的解決方案，然後回過頭來思考所有可能行不通的原因，直到我們找到這個組合，讓我們鎖定成功。

What's really important with this process is that you have to think about it as a series of problems to solve.

這個過程最重要的一點是，你必須把它當成一系列需要解決的問題。

Just because your first solution isn't perfect doesn't mean that there is no solution.

你的第一個解決方案並不完美，但這並不意味著沒有解決方案。

There is some combination of solutions that will work.

有一些解決方案的組合是可行的。

Your role when you're thinking in systems is to look for that combination until you figure it out and this is a process that I personally repeated hundreds of times which eventually is what allowed me to work full-time as a doctor while running a business full-time and then doing my masters full-time while going to the gym and having a social life and spending time with my family and getting eight to nine hours of sleep every night.

當你進行系統思考時，你的角色就是尋找這種組合，直到你找到它，這是我個人重複了數百次的過程，最終讓我能夠全職做醫生，同時全職做生意，然後全職讀碩士，同時去健身房，有社交生活，花時間陪家人，每晚睡八到九個小時。

And often one of the biggest things I do now when I'm coaching someone is that I simply am more committed to looking for that solution for longer than they normally might.

現在，我在指導別人時做的最重要的一件事就是，我比他們通常更願意花更長的時間去尋找解決方案。

And a lot of the time the solution we come to from this thinking process involves a certain level of discomfort.

而很多時候，我們從這種思考過程中得出的解決方案會讓我們感到某種程度的不適。

But this is actually fine, in fact this is a good thing.

但這其實很好，事實上這是一件好事。

The fact that a solution feels uncomfortable means it's different than what we're used to doing and getting a different result to what we're used to getting is actually the whole point of thinking in systems.

一個解決方案讓人感覺不舒服，就意味著它與我們習慣的做法不同，而獲得與我們習慣的做法不同的結果，實際上就是系統思考的全部意義所在。

And what I found is that the discomfort of making the change and acting on the solution is often not as bad as the discomfort of not making the change.

我發現，做出改變和採取行動解決問題所帶來的不適感，往往沒有不做出改變帶來的不適感嚴重。

Or it may be uncomfortable to change your nighttime routine so that you can sleep one or two hours earlier.

或者，改變你的夜間作息時間，讓你提前一兩個小時入睡，這可能會讓你感到不舒服。

Yes that's uncomfortable sure but it's not uncomfortable versus comfortable it's uncomfortable versus even more uncomfortable because if you don't make those changes you have to live with the stress and the pressure and the anxiety and the disappointment of never being able to make meaningful progress on these things that As you do this process and you go back and forth between these two principles you will find that your intentions and your plans become much clearer and much more specific.

是的，這確實讓人不舒服，但這不是不舒服與舒服的關係，而是不舒服與更不舒服的關係，因為如果你不做出這些改變，你就不得不承受壓力、焦慮和失望，因為你永遠無法在這些事情上取得有意義的進展。

Your plans are not just general statements about the fact that you're going to do something at a certain time, it covers contingencies.

你的計劃不只是籠統地說明你將在某個時間做某件事，它還包括突發事件。

If I'm tired I'm going to do this, if I'm not tired I'm going to do this.

如果我累了，我就這樣做，如果我不累，我就這樣做。

You will learn so much about yourself and how you respond to different challenges that you also learn how you can make it easier for yourself to just do the things that you need to do.

你會了解自己，瞭解自己如何應對不同的挑戰，也會了解如何讓自己更輕鬆地完成自己需要做的事情。

The way you follow your plans and create habits and achieve your goals becomes much more fluid and dynamic adapting to the unexpected challenges of life rather than having this rigid approach which constantly butts up against it and the only thing holding it up is your unwavering willpower which will waver.

你執行計劃、養成習慣和實現目標的方式會變得更加流暢和動態，以適應生活中的意外挑戰，而不是採用這種僵化的方法，因為這種方法會不斷地與生活發生衝突，而支撐它的唯一因素就是你堅定不移的意志力，這種意志力會搖擺不定。

Now this is something that I've been doing for years and I've been helping people build their own systems for years as well and I've picked up a lot of little tips and tricks that make it easier to build systems for certain goals and overcome certain obstacles.

現在，這是我多年來一直在做的事情，多年來我也一直在幫助人們建立他們自己的系統，我已經掌握了很多小技巧和小訣竅，這些技巧和訣竅可以讓我更容易地為某些目標建立系統，克服某些障礙。

Now some of these things I share on YouTube but another place that I share them is in my free weekly newsletter.

現在，我在 YouTube 上分享了其中一些內容，但我分享這些內容的另一個地方是我的免費每週時事通訊。

These are emails, newsletters that I write up with my fingers myself, not chatGPT generated, where I think about what are the things that I wish I had known when I was first building my systems and learning to learn effectively and manage my time more effectively.

這些都是我自己用手指寫出來的電子郵件和通訊，而不是哈拉軟件生成的，在這些郵件和通訊中，我思考的是，當我第一次建立自己的系統、學習有效學習和更有效地管理時間時，我希望自己知道哪些事情。

What are the biggest needle movers that allowed me to learn effectively and advance my career while maintaining that balance in life and I summarize those in these emails and I send them to you for free every single week.

是什麼讓我在保持生活平衡的同時，還能有效地學習和提升自己的職業生涯，我將這些總結在這些郵件中，每週免費發送給你。

So if you're interested in getting some of those insights then I'll leave a link for you to sign up in the description below.

是以，如果你有興趣獲得這些見解，我會在下面的描述中為你留下注冊鏈接。

At this point if you're just doing the first two you will succeed.

此時，如果你只做前兩項，你就會成功。

Each iteration of your plan and your system will get better and better until you just don't have any obstacles left.

你的計劃和系統的每一次迭代都會越來越好，直到你沒有任何障礙。

But this final principle is what will allow that system to stay with you and evolve for life and it makes it much easier to just maintain this system.

但這一最終原則會讓這一系統伴隨你一生，並不斷髮展，這也讓維護這一系統變得更加容易。

Your first system that you build from this process is going to be full of band-aids.

在此過程中建立的第一個系統將充滿Ok繃。

So for example let's say that a problem you have with carrying out your plan is that you always feel too tired and you struggle to focus.

比如說，你在執行計劃時遇到的一個問題是，你總是感覺太累，很難集中精力。

So the first solution might be to take a nap during the day and to use a timer when you're working to try to increase your focus.

是以，第一個解決辦法可能是在白天小睡一會兒，在工作時使用定時器來提高注意力。

These are band-aid solutions because they help you right now in the short term without addressing the underlying issue.

這些都是 "Ok繃 "式的解決方案，因為它們只能在短期內幫助你，卻不能解決根本問題。

The reason you're tired is because you're not getting enough sleep.

你之所以感到疲倦，是因為睡眠不足。

The reason that you can't focus is because your attention span is terrible.

你之所以無法集中注意力，是因為你的注意力太差了。

And the reason we want to remove band-aid solutions even though they can serve us in the short term is because it just over bloats our system.

我們之所以要取消 "Ok繃 "式的解決方案，即使它們能在短期內為我們提供服務，是因為它只會使我們的系統過於臃腫。

And if possible we want to remove the limitations and conditions for us to succeed.

如果可能的話，我們希望消除我們成功的限制和條件。

You know what if you don't have time for a nap?

如果你沒時間睡午覺，你知道該怎麼辦嗎？

What if you don't have a timer available for you?

Well in that case your plan just fails for that day.

這樣的話，你那天的計劃就失敗了。

So while these band-aid solutions do give us a benefit right now they should be a temporary solution while we work on solving the underlying problems.

是以，儘管這些 "Ok繃 "式的解決方案目前確實給我們帶來了好處，但在我們努力解決根本問題的時候，它們應該只是一種臨時的解決方案。

And often working on these underlying issues involves a change in habits.

要解決這些潛在問題，往往需要改變生活習慣。

Which means because it involves unlearning and retraining your habits it's going to take time.

這意味著，因為這涉及到重新學習和訓練你的習慣，所以需要時間。

And so the very act of changing your habits so that you can one day remove these band-aid solutions should actually be part of your system.

是以，改變自己的生活習慣，以便有朝一日能夠去除這些Ok繃式的解決方案，實際上應該成為你的系統的一部分。

So this changing habits actually ends up becoming another intention and then we plug that into our system.

是以，這種習慣的改變實際上最終會成為另一種意圖，然後我們將其納入我們的系統。

So for example yes we might have figured out that taking a nap and using a timer is helpful for us right now.

例如，是的，我們可能已經發現小睡一會兒和使用計時器對我們現在很有幫助。

We can use that but then at the same time we think about how we can improve our sleep habits and how we can train our attention span.

我們可以利用這一點，但同時我們也要考慮如何改善睡眠習慣，如何訓練我們的注意力。
