Here’s a very simple productivity tip that you might find helpful: crank up the speed of your mouse cursor. On Windows you can do this by clicking Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse and adjusting the speed as you see fit. 继续阅读Speed Up Your Mouse

Time and time again, I’ve seen people rely on expert advice and find the advice doesn’t work for them. Then they beat themselves up that they must be incompetent because “it should work.” Almost every week now, I receive at least one email telling me such a story, often ending with a line like, “Am I just too stupid / broken / antisocial / undisciplined / weak?” 继续阅读Trust Yourself, Not the Experts

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

One time leak I noticed I had was checking up on certain things too often. I’ve already gotten my email processing down to only once a day, but I found I was still checking up on things like blog comments, feeds, ad revenue, sales through my games site, web traffic, watchlists, and other stats several times per day at random intervals. 继续阅读The Inefficiency of Being Too Curious

我注意到自己浪费时间的一个地方，就是会过于频繁地查看某些东西。我已把处理邮件的频率降到每天一次，但自己仍会在随意时间，每天多次地查看博客评论、订阅内容、广告收入、自己游戏网站上的销售情况、网站流量、收看列表等其他数据。 继续阅读过度好奇的低效影响

昨天我在家中办公室工作，儿子Kyle就在我旁边的地上玩耍，他大部分时间都在试图重新整理我的书架。忽然，Kyle站起身来指着我正吃的苹果说道：“那稀一个苹果。”然后他在没扶任何东西的情况下，朝我走了5步远 — 这便是他人生独立走出的头5步。我立马叫来妻子，接着鼓励儿子再走给她看看。 继续阅读在家工作

订阅一个，离开一个

我用RSS阅读器订阅了许多博客，但自己不可能订阅世上所有的有趣博客。我很快意识到，若不断订阅更多博客，自己将永远无法跟上它们的更新速度。 继续阅读管理你的博客订阅
