I have been talking about productivity for years on this channel.

多年以來，我在這個頻道裡談了很多有關生產力的主題。

A big part of what I've been covering in my videos has to do with study methods and techniques,

在我的影片當中，最常談論到的就是有關讀書方法、技巧、

轉承詞

tips and tricks on how to be more organized and feel more motivated; but although these

小技巧、和小聰明，來學習如何更有組織性並且充滿動力的。雖然所有

methods are all very valuable because they allow you to optimize your work in a more efficient way,

這些方法都很有價值，因為它們能有效地優化你的工作力。

I think that most of the time I fail to underline the most important aspect

大多時候我想我都會沒注意到，在「任何工作」或是閱讀方式或是

of *any work* or study method or any productivity advice, and that is *consistency.*

任何提高生產力的意見裡，最重要的一點就是「專注力」。

Consistency is the only thing that makes your methods stick and do their magic.

專注力是一個最重要的要素，它能夠確保你遵循著自己的方式，而讓這些方法實踐。

Without discipline, a foolproof workflow will fail on its tracks.

沒有紀律的話，就算是一個萬無一失的工作計畫也會因而失去方向。

In fact, consistency is *more important* than your methods because, most of the time,

事情上，專注力比你的方法「更加重要」，因為很多時候，

independently of the method you choose to do your work,

consistency will be the thing that dictates our success.

而專注力會是一個指引我們達到成功的方式。

That is why that after six years studying in college, I have found success while studying

這就是為什麼在我完成大學的六年後，我就已經知道讀書的成功方式，

only by taking notes, or mindmapping or simply reading the textbook.

就只要學會做筆記，或是腦力激盪圖、或就只是讀一本教科書。

When looking back I was puzzled to notice that it didn't seem like there was a perfect

當我回想時，我好像無法為自己想到一個完美的

study method for me - however I could easily conclude that the only thing there was in common in

讀書方法－不過我最後認為，在我所有成功的例子當中，

my success stories was consistency; and the thing there was in common in all my failures

唯一一個共通的點就是專注力。而這就是在我所有失敗例子中，

雖然方法很重要，但還是次要的。

There is high value in mastering different techniques and understanding what's the type

掌握住不同的技巧以及了解有哪些總類的

of workflow or learning process that works best for you; however, forming a habit out

工作方式，或是知道哪些學習方式才適合你是很重要的。不過，從「任何一個」方法中，

of picking *any* method will be the detrimental factor in your success.

來養成一個習慣會是構成你成功的一大要素。

When you experience this, you will notice you can have the same results with different

當你實際這麼做後，你會發現你也可以從不一樣的方法中得到相同的

methods; however, most of the times, these good marks will result from a consistent and

結果。不過，大多時候，這些好的成就會是因為有專注力以及

持之以恆地實踐這些方法的精神。

Consistency, of course, can manifest itself in different forms.

專注力，當然，也可運用在不同的形式上。

It can be seen as a simple habit-tracking formula, where you commit to do a certain

它可以被視為一個簡單的習慣養成因素，使得你致力於做一個特定的

It can also manifest into a deeper involvement with the subject-matter - something particularly

這也可以指出一個更深層相關的題材－例如與課程相關的－某件特別

important with language learning, for example.

Getting involved with the subject in ways outside the scope of your class will boost that consistency.

學習課外事物也可以加強那樣的專注能力，

Things like going to conferences, reading articles, talking to people about the subject,

像是去會議、讀文章、跟大家談論一個

writing an independent paper, watch a documentary; although you're not working in the most traditional

獨立的文章內容、看一齣紀錄片。雖然你不是用最傳統的方式來

way, you're improving your understanding of the subject in a more organic manner, making

學習，但你還是有組織化地進一步了解主題，有

Also, know that there isn't a best method, a best technique or a best piece of tech or

而且要知道沒有一個完美的方法、技巧、技術、或是

There are different ways to reach a certain result and although it's advisable that you

有很多方式可以達到一個特定的結果，而且雖然話說你最好

try to adapt to more generally efficient ways to produce good quality work,

試著採用更多常見的有效方式來提供好品質的工作產量，

Developing your autonomy and re-adapting to the situation at hand is more important than

養成你的自主性並且再次適應面對的情況比你

being stubborn and sticking to the same methods over and over again.

固執和堅持反覆用著同樣的方式還要得好。

In that way, being a mindful student or a mindful worker that understands how they can

那樣做，一位細心的學生或是員工會了解如何

incorporate a steady workflow into a busy lifestyle is more important than spending

在一個忙碌的生活中，塑造出一個穩定的工作產量，比你在考試的前一晚

hours mindmapping your entire textbook the night before an exam and compromise your

花費許多時間來腦力激盪你整個教課書的圖並免強大略地

As I've said, one of the ways to get more involved is to find new ways to learn a subject.

像我之前說過，其中一個來增進學習的方式就是找一個新的方式來學一個主題。

Watching documentaries is one of my favorite ways to get a glimpse out of something I'm

看紀錄片是我最喜歡能一瞥滿足我對有些事情的

I've finished watching Chernobyl this week and I decided I wanted to learn more on the

我這禮拜已經看完車諾比，然後我已經決定要更了解

subject so I started a documentary called called "Nature Fights Back in Chernobyl",

這個主題，所以我又看了一個影片，標題為「大自然對車諾比的反撲」，

a documentary that explores the Chernobyl exclusion zone and how the nucclear accident

這個紀錄片探索著車諾比的隔離區域，和這樣的核武事件

是如何影響那區域的生態環境。
