And it’s Q&A Tuesday. Best day of the week.

今天是星期二的 Q & A 時間。這個星期最好的一天

Today’s question comes from Kat and Kat writes:

今天的問題來自Kat，而他寫道：

“I love MarieTV. Keep it up, girl! But my question is, how do you stay consistent?

「我很喜歡 MarieTV, 繼續前進吧，女孩！但我的問題是，你要如何持之以恆？」

I always try to set some time aside for actions that’ll help me get further in my career.

我總是試著安排一段時間讓自己在工作上可以繼續前進

I’ll be doing great for 2 weeks and by the 3rd I fall off the wagon, go on a hiatus,

前兩個星期我表現得很好，但到了第三個星期又進度落後，不得不暫停

and have to start all over again, which is much harder to do each time.

而且必須全部重新開始，一次比一次要來得困難。

What can you suggest for staying on task without getting burned out and quitting?

你可以給予一些關於專注在任務上並不讓精力耗盡而停止工作的建議嗎？

Lots of loves and laughs your way, Kat.”

祝你生活充滿愛和笑聲，Kat」

Kat, this is such an important question. Most of us struggle with being more consistent in some part of our lives

Kat，這實在是一個很重要的問題。大部分的我們掙扎於在生活中的某個部分想持之以恆

and it’s really worth working on because the rewards of being consistent are huge.

而這確實是值得努力的因為堅持可以帶來的回報是很巨大的

So that being said, here are 5 secrets to help you be more consistently consistent.

無論如何，這裡有五個秘訣幫助你對事情更持續性地堅持

Number one is keep your eye on your why. In order to really stay connected to what you’re doing over the long haul,

第一個是想想你做這件事的動機。為了真正長時間專注在你正在做的事情上

you have to have a clear, compelling vision for what you’re trying to achieve,

你必須對你試著要達到的目標有清楚強烈的意象

and know why you wanna do it. So, for example,

而且知道為什麼你想要做這件事。舉例來說，

it’s a lot easier to keep saving consistently if you’re saving for something important to you like your first house or a once in a lifetime trip.

如果正在為了一件對你很重要的東西例如第一間房子或一生可能只有一次的旅行而存錢，那麼持之以恆的存錢就變得容易多了

You know, when I think about MarieTV, this is a big commitment and we’re in our 5th season

你知道嗎，當我想到 MarieTV 這個節目，這是一個很重大的義務而我們現在走到第五季了

and it’s not easy to keep doing this week after week.

而一個星期接著一個星期地做事實上並不容易

But I am committed because I’m clear on my why. This show is really the soul of my brand

但我堅持因為我對自己的動機很清楚明白。這個節目真的是我們品牌的靈魂

and it’s the primary way that I get to make a difference to as many people as possible around the world,

而這是我主要和全球那麼多的人們做出區別的地方

and that’s really important to me. So that’s my why and it is always in my eye.

這對我真的很重要。這是我的動機而它總是我的腦海中

Number two is pick your battle. Now, notice, I didn't say battles. I said battle.

第二是選擇一個你的任務。請注意，我不是說任務們，我說的是一個任務。

So I want you to pick one thing and just stick with that.

我想要你選擇一件事並專注在它身上

The reason why is that we human beings have limited capacity when it comes to willpower and discipline.

原因是我們人類的意志力和自我約束能力是有限的。

In fact, studies show that doctors recommend you do not try to do something like quit smoking and quit sugar at the same time

事實上，研究報導指出醫生們建議不要同時做兩件事例如戒煙和戒糖

or you’re gonna fail at both. And I tend to agree.

否則你會兩項都失敗。我傾向認同這個說法

So pick one thing and once you really make that a habit and you win that battle,

所以選擇一件事情而一旦你真的養成了習慣你就為自己贏得一場勝利了

then you can add on something else.

接著你可以再加上其他的事情

Number three is schedule it. The late Stephen Covey said this and it is a major, major secret to consistency.

第三項是對你要做的事情做好規畫。史蒂芬·柯维 (美國管理學大師) 說這是能持之以恆的一個主要關鍵

Don’t prioritize your schedule, schedule your priorities.

不要為你的一般計畫排定優先順序，而是安排自己真正想完成事情的優先順序

So this subtle distinction is so important. When you’re trying to make something consistent in your life,

這個微妙的區別非常重要。當你正試著在生命中持續地做某件事

you want to really build your whole life around it rather than trying to fit it in.

你是想要把它真正內化在你的生活裡而不是試著在生活中嘗試加入它

You know, when it comes to MarieTV, the reason that this gets done so consistently

如你所知道的，當說到 MarieTV，它可以一直延續下去的原因

is that we schedule it and we build our entire year around it. So everybody who works on MarieTV,

是我們做了規劃而且把一整年的時間都花在它上面。每個在 MarieTV 工作的人都認知到

we have these dates for the year, they are sacred, they’re non negotiable,

我們一年中有許多時程規劃，這些規劃是很嚴謹的，它沒有妥協的餘地

and this is gonna happen come hell or high water...

這些都是不計一切代價要完成的... (模擬地震情形)

Number four is ignore your feelings. Now, this is probably the only time you’re gonna ever hear me say this,

第四個是忽略自己的感受。這也許是僅有一次你聽我說這個

but when it comes to developing consistency it’s pretty darn important to ignore the voice in your head that says, “Wah, I don't feel like it.”

但說到鍛練恆心，忽略自己腦海中的聲音像是「哇嗚，我實在是不想做這個」是相當重要的

I mean, any time you’re trying to be consistent at something worthwhile like working out or meditating or painting or whatever,

我的意思是，任何時候你試著堅持做某件值得的事情像是健身、冥想、繪畫或是其他的事情

it’s guaranteed you're gonna hear that voice. “Wah, I don't feel like it.”

肯定你會聽到這個聲音「哇嗚，我實在是不想做啦」

I mean, I hear that voice all the time. There are some days as much as I love what I do,

其實我想說的是，我總是聽到這個聲音。一些日子裡我多喜歡我在做的事情

I don't feel like going to work. I don't feel like doing much of anything.

我不想要去工作。我不喜歡非常忙碌的生活

But I’ve trained myself to override that whole voice in my head because I know the power of consistency.

但我過去訓練我自己要跨越這些腦海裡的聲音因為我知道堅持的力量有多大

Now, if you've been consistent with something for a long time or you’re just clear that

現在，如果你已經堅持某件事一段很長的時間了或者你剛剛想清楚

whatever you’re up to you’re just done with it, that is fine. You can totally pay attention to your feelings,

無論你計劃要做什麼，這都很好。 你可以專注在你的感覺上

close that chapter, and move on. However, if you're still trying to develop consistency

關上那個章節，並繼續前進。然而，如果你嘗試鍛練恆心

and the deeper part of you knows you really do wanna keep going,

而且你的內心真的很渴望繼續下去

please for the love of all things holy, ignore your feelings. You can tell them, “Bye Felicia.”

請為了這美好和神聖的恩寵，忽略你的感受吧。你可以告訴他們「再會了，討厭鬼」

Number five is catch that wagon. So don't have an all or nothing mindset.

第五個是跟上腳步。不要有全有或全無的心態。

Don't think that if you miss one day meditating or you miss one workout that you’re a total failure.

不要認為如果你錯過一天的冥想或是一次練習你就全然失敗了

When it comes to falling off the wagon, that’s fine and you probably will. We all do.

說到落後進度，他是可接受的而且你將來可能會遇見這樣的情況。我們都會的

This is where I think you’re getting tripped up though. I think you’re spending so much time beating up on yourself that you fell off the wagon,

我想困擾你的應該是這點。我認為你花很多時間自責自己讓進度落後

that the wagon is just leaving into the distance and you’re not getting back on it.

而事實上進度落後有限但你沒有迎頭趕上

So make sure you run and catch that wagon.

請確保你努力而且追上進度了

And if you need a little extra inspiration, remember this tweetable.

如果你需要一些其他的鼓勵，請記得下面這個推特佳句

Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently.

成功不是偶然獲得的，它來自於持之以恆的努力

So there you have it, Kat, 5 secrets to be more consistently consistent.

Kat，這些是我想告訴你的，五個秘訣讓我們可以持之以恆

And now I would love to hear from you. What’s been one idea or strategy that’s helped you become more consistent?

而現在我想要聽聽你們的想法。曾經有那麼一個想法或是策略幫助你變得更有恆心嗎？

I wanna hear about what’s worked and what hasn’t.

我想聽聽哪些可行而哪些不可以
