📖 今天要学习的句子
One solution is to turn the situation on its head. You want to make avoidance visible. Open a savings account and label it for something you want—maybe “Leather Jacket.” Whenever you pass on a purchase, put the same amount of money in the account. Skip your morning latte? Transfer $5. Pass on another month of Netflix? Move $10 over. It’s like creating a loyalty program for yourself. The immediate reward of seeing yourself save money toward the leather jacket feels a lot better than being deprived. You are making it satisfying to do nothing. One of my readers and his wife used a similar setup. They wanted to stop eating out so much and start cooking together more. They labeled their savings account “Trip to Europe.” Whenever they skipped going out to eat, they transferred $50 into the account. At the end of the year, they put the money toward the vacation. It is worth noting that it is important to select short-term rewards that reinforce your identity rather than ones that conflict with it. Buying a new jacket is fine if you’re trying to lose weight or read more books, but it doesn’t work if you’re trying to budget and save money. Instead, taking a bubble bath or going on a leisurely walk are good examples of rewarding yourself with free time, which aligns with your ultimate goal of more freedom and financial independence. Similarly, if your reward for exercising is eating a bowl of ice cream, then you’re casting votes for conflicting identities, and it ends up being a wash. Instead, maybe your reward is a massage, which is both a luxury and a vote toward taking care of your body. Now the short-term reward is aligned with your long-term vision of being a healthy person.
一个解决方法是把这个局面反过来处理。你要让避免行为变得可见。开一个储蓄账户，并用你想要的东西给它命名，比如“皮夹克”。每当你放弃一次购买，就把同样数额的钱放进这个账户。不买早上的拿铁？转入5美元。不续一个月 Netflix？转入10美元。这就像为自己创建一个会员奖励计划。看到自己为皮夹克存钱带来的即时奖励，比觉得自己被剥夺要好得多。你正在让“什么都不做”这件事变得令人满足。我的一位读者和他的妻子使用了类似的做法。他们想少外出就餐，多一起做饭。他们把自己的储蓄账户命名为“欧洲之旅”。每当他们没有出去吃饭时，就往账户里转入50美元。到了年底，他们把这笔钱用于度假。值得注意的是，选择短期奖励时，重要的是要选择能强化身份认同的奖励，而不是与之冲突的奖励。如果你想减肥或多读书，买一件新夹克作为奖励没问题；但如果你想做预算、存钱，这就行不通了。相反，泡个泡泡浴或悠闲散步，就是用自由时间奖励自己的好例子，它们与你获得更多自由和财务独立的最终目标一致。同样，如果你锻炼后的奖励是吃一碗冰淇淋，那你就是在为相互冲突的身份投票，最终效果会相互抵消。相反，也许你的奖励可以是一次按摩，它既是一种奢侈享受，也是在为照顾身体这个身份投票。这样，短期奖励就与你成为健康之人的长期愿景保持一致了。
