Well, what the word hacking really means is finding a clever way to do something and often that's a clever way to work around an established system.

"Hacking" 這個字眼真正的意思是找一個聰明的辦法來做某事，而那往往是用聰明的方式處理既定的系統。

And you'd be surprised at how many established systems there are in your own life.

你會很驚訝生活中有這麼多既定的系統。

There is a system for how you get up in the morning and a system for how you check your email. And a system you use for your calendar and on and on and on.

有屬於早上起床的系統和察看電郵的系統，還有屬於使用日曆的系統等等。

A lot of us are so entrenched in the systems that we are a part of in the way that we work day to day.

我們很多人是如此根深蒂固於這些系統，而這些系統已成為我們每天工作方式的一部分。

But we don't realize sometimes there is an easier way to do something.

但我們不曉得其實有更容易的方法做事。

And so yeah, hacking into someone's bank account, that's really bad.

駭進某人的銀行帳號真的是件很糟的事。

But, hacking into your own life? That can be really good!

但駭進你自己的生活？那會是很棒的事！

Because, the way that we do things generally sucks.

因為我們做事的方式大致上都爛透了。

Life hacking can range from doing something to your wireless router to get better reception to making your headphones stay better in your ear with a $2 pair of ear plugs.

生活駭客的範圍可以從對無線路動點手腳讓它收訊更好，到用一副 2 美元的耳塞讓耳機更好地塞在耳朵裡。

It's just little things that make your day-to-day life easier and more efficient.

這些小事情能讓你每天的生活更輕鬆並且更有效率。

So how do I go about hacking systems in my own life?

所以我該如何開始駭進我自己生活中的系統呢？

The first thing I would do is go about your work as normal and maybe take a little bit of time at the end of each day, just 10 minutes, to think about what you did that day.

我首先會做的是像往常一樣從工作方面開始著手，也許在每天結束時，花一點時間，只要十分鐘想想那天做了什麼。

You know, "This point in my day was really inefficient. How can I maybe do that better?"

「我一天中的這個時候真的很沒效率。我該如何改善呢？」

Do that every day, you'll start to see where maybe the inefficiencies are in your work.

每天都這麼做的話，你會開始看出工作上哪些地方也許是沒效率的。

You know, maybe you spend way too much time trying to wade through emails or you spend way too much time typing out certain things.

你懂的，也許你花太多時間在試圖費力看完電郵，或者花太多時間在將某些事項打字出來。

From there I just have to be really creative and think outside the box. Are there any tricks that you have at that point?

所以我只要極具創意並跳脫框架思考。你在那個時候有任何技巧嗎？

You say to yourself, "God, I'm spending so much time typing out this tedious stuff all day long."

你告訴自己：「天啊，我一整天都花太多時間在打這個單調乏味的東西。」

You go on to Google. You search for, "How to save yourself time in typing,"and you'll find not just a lot of solutions from people,

你上 Google 搜尋「如何省下自己打字的時間」，然後你會找到不僅來自許多他人解決方法，還有許多已寫好的實際電腦程式來解決特定問題。

but a lot of actual programs for computers that people have written to deal with that specific problem.

還有許多已寫好的實際電腦程式來解決特定問題。

What would be the purpose behind caring about Lifehacks?

對 Lifehacks 感興趣的背後目的是什麼？

You know, most of us are wasting, just wasting X percent of our time on tedious tasks or wasting X percent of our money on things we could easily make ourselves

大多數的我們就這麼浪費百分之 X 的時間在單調乏味的工作，或浪費我們百分之 X 的錢在可以輕易完成的事物上，

and by dedicating part of your day to reorganizing your thoughts and rehacking some of these little things that you do every day,

而藉由貢獻一天中的部分去重新組織想法，重新駭入每天要做的這些小事，

you can save a ton of time, you know, be more productive, have more time to spend on the things that are really more important.

你可以省下一大把時間，變得更有產值，能有更多時間花在真正重要的事情上。
