Daily Productive Sharing 656 - Vectors of Action

我们经常听到选择比努力更重要,Anne-Laure Le Cunff 用数学中的向量来解释这一原理:选择是方向,努力程度是标量,两者结合起来才有可能成功。如果方向选错了,再努力也是白用功。具体而言,她建议:

1 考虑速度而不是仅仅速率。
2 考虑方向感;
3 不断调整你的努力轨迹。

Daily Productive Sharing 664 - Most Valuable Season of Ted Lamade

Ted Lamade 年轻的时候,曾经加入一只橄榄球队。他加入的第一天就选择了四分卫 -- 橄榄球里最吃香的位置,尽管他从来没有打过橄榄球。教练也点头同意,因为这只球队里没人想打四分卫。后来的比赛里,整只球队一直输球,但这些经历却教给他重要的一课:

1 要能输得起。只有在失败中,才能看到人的真面目;
2 千禧一代和 Gen Z 都没有经过大的经济危机,目前科技业的大裁员可能是对他们最大的考验。也许经历了之后,他们会成长不少。

Daily Productive Sharing 666 - Improve Your Focus

Mark Manson 发现自己越来越难集中注意力:

1 这个时代吸引我们注意力的事物太多,客观上让我们集中注意力变得更难;
2 他尝试了注意力节食,把有限的注意力只放在重要的事情上;
3 注意力节食分为三步:识别什么是真正重要的事物;把不重要的事物都去除;把前面这两步培养成习惯;
4 尝试阅读长文/书籍,尝试听长的 podcast,看完整的电影。这样有助于培养我们的注意力。
5 取消所有新闻订阅,只从 wikipedia 来阅读新闻。

我们的 DPS 其实也是一种培养注意力的实践。之前我订阅了很多 RSS 源,但很多只是扫一眼,丢到 Read It Later 类的服务里就再也不读了。现在为了准备每期的 DPS 日刊,我都需要认真阅读筛选出来的文章,做好摘要,并总结要点。目前这些都在 Readwise 和 Obsidian 里完成。
