📖 今天要学习的句子
Of course, there are many ways to automate good habits and eliminate bad ones. Typically, they involve putting technology to work for you. Technology can transform actions that were once hard, annoying, and complicated into behaviors that are easy, painless, and simple. It is the most reliable and effective way to guarantee the right behavior. This is particularly useful for behaviors that happen too infrequently to become habitual. Things you have to do monthly or yearly—like rebalancing your investment portfolio—are never repeated frequently enough to become a habit, so they benefit in particular from technology “remembering” to do them for you. Other examples include: Medicine: Prescriptions can be automatically refilled. Personal finance: Employees can save for retirement with an automatic wage deduction. Cooking: Meal-delivery services can do your grocery shopping. Productivity: Social media browsing can be cut off with a website blocker. When you automate as much of your life as possible, you can spend your effort on the tasks machines cannot do yet. Each habit that we hand over to the authority of technology frees up time and energy to pour into the next stage of growth. As mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead wrote, “Civilization advances by extending the number of operations we can perform without thinking about them.”
当然，有很多方法可以让好习惯自动化，并消除坏习惯。通常，它们都涉及让技术为你工作。技术可以把那些曾经困难、烦人、复杂的行动，转变成容易、无痛、简单的行为。这是保证正确行为发生的最可靠、最有效的方法。对于那些发生频率太低、很难变成习惯的行为来说，这一点尤其有用。你每月或每年才需要做的事情，比如重新平衡投资组合，重复频率永远不够高，无法成为习惯，因此它们尤其适合受益于技术替你“记住”去做。其他例子包括：医药：处方药可以自动续配。个人财务：员工可以通过自动工资扣款为退休储蓄。烹饪：送餐服务可以替你购买杂货。效率：社交媒体浏览可以用网站屏蔽工具切断。当你把生活中尽可能多的部分自动化时，就可以把精力花在机器还不能完成的任务上。每一个交给技术权威的习惯，都会释放出时间和精力，让我们投入下一阶段的成长。正如数学家、哲学家阿尔弗雷德·诺思·怀特海德所写：“文明的进步，是通过扩大我们无需思考就能执行的操作数量来实现的。”
