One of the Q2 goals I set at the beginning of April was to achieve a certain level of web traffic by the end of the second quarter. My goal was to achieve a 40% traffic increase (measured in terms of unique visitors per month) over the 3-month period between March 31 and June 30. This meant about a 12% increase per month with compounding, which I felt was ambitious but achievable. 继续阅读100%+ Traffic Increase

我一次又一次地见过，人们会依赖专家建议，结果发现所得建议对自己并不管用。然后这些人还自我打击，以为肯定是个人能力不足，因为他们觉得“建议本该管用”。几乎每个星期，我都会至少收到一封述说这种故事的电邮，邮件结尾还常有一句这样的话：“我是不是太愚蠢/无能/不懂社交/缺乏自律/过于软弱了？” 继续阅读相信自己，而非专家

Last Monday’s post How to Become an Early Riser obviously struck a chord with many people. That post has generated more links than I can count, sending more new traffic to this site than any other post or article I’ve written. And the traffic logs indicate that the surge was decentralized (not attributable to a mention in any one major source). 继续阅读How to Become an Early Riser – Part II

上周一发布的那篇《如何成为早起者》，显然撩动了许多人的心弦。那篇文章产生的外部链接不计其数，为这个网站带来的流量，比我写过的任何文章都要多。而且流量日志表明，这次流量高峰是去中心化的（不归功于任何主要流量源头）。 继续阅读如何成为早起者 — 第二部分

And this addictive nature is what leans me towards the negative side. 继续阅读How to Give Up Coffee
