📖 今天要学习的句子
During the year I was writing this book, I experimented with a new time management strategy. Every Monday, my assistant would reset the passwords on all my social media accounts, which logged me out on each device. All week I worked without distraction. On Friday, she would send me the new passwords. I had the entire weekend to enjoy what social media had to offer until Monday morning when she would do it again. (If you don’t have an assistant, team up with a friend or family member and reset each other’s passwords each week.) One of the biggest surprises was how quickly I adapted. Within the first week of locking myself out of social media, I realized that I didn’t need to check it nearly as often as I had been, and I certainly didn’t need it each day. It had simply been so easy that it had become the default. Once my bad habit became impossible, I discovered that I did actually have the motivation to work on more meaningful tasks. After I removed the mental candy from my environment, it became much easier to eat the healthy stuff. When working in your favor, automation can make your good habits inevitable and your bad habits impossible. It is the ultimate way to lock in future behavior rather than relying on willpower in the moment. By utilizing commitment devices, strategic onetime decisions, and technology, you can create an environment of inevitability—a space where good habits are not just an outcome you hope for but an outcome that is virtually guaranteed.
在写这本书的那一年里，我尝试了一种新的时间管理策略。每个星期一，我的助手都会重置我所有社交媒体账号的密码，让我在每台设备上都退出登录。整个星期，我都能不受干扰地工作。到了星期五，她会把新密码发给我。整个周末我都可以享受社交媒体提供的一切，直到星期一早上她再次这样做。（如果你没有助手，可以和朋友或家人结成搭档，每周互相重置对方的密码。）最让我惊讶的一点，是我适应得有多快。在把自己锁在社交媒体之外的第一周内，我意识到自己并不需要像以前那样频繁查看它，当然也不需要每天都看。它只是太容易使用了，所以才成了默认选择。一旦我的坏习惯变得不可能，我发现自己其实确实有动力去做更有意义的任务。当我把这种“精神糖果”从环境中移走之后，吃健康食物就变得容易多了。当自动化站在你这一边时，它可以让好习惯变得不可避免，让坏习惯变得不可能。这是锁定未来行为的终极方式，而不是在当下依赖意志力。通过使用承诺装置、战略性的一次性决定和技术，你可以创造一个“必然性”的环境，一个好习惯不只是你希望得到的结果，而是几乎可以保证发生的结果。
