　　Does willpower work?

　　意志力真的有用么?

　　The first thing to come to terms with is that our willpower is simply not enough. In fact, some studies suggest that willpower is an exhaustible source that can be entirely used up. This is a concept known as the ego depletion. So instead of convincing yourself to simply try harder, a more methodical approach is suggested

　　首要咱们得清晰一点：人的意志力是有限的。事实上一些研讨标明，意志力是一项非再生能源并且会被彻底用光，这个概念被称作自我损耗。所以与其每天强逼自个要尽力，不如测验一下更系统科学的办法。

　　Three steps to go

　　进步生产力三步走

　　The first step: Get started! It may seem obvious but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starting our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks. Luckily, there's a construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Erffect, which compels humans to finish a task that they've already started. The Zeigernik Effect shows that when we don't finish a task, we experience discomfort and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.

　　第一步：立即举动!这听起来好像很明显，但研讨标明，开端着手一件事是进步生产力的最大妨碍。在咱们开端之前大脑会可视化其间最可贵有些，然后让咱们去做一些轻松的事情而不是企图模仿真实的作业。走运的是，咱们的大脑有一个被称为蔡格尼克效应的结构，它会迫使大家去完结现已开端了的作业。 蔡格尼克效应标明，当咱们没有完结使命时，咱们就会阅历不舒服和被搅扰的主意，所以赶忙举动。

　　Now what about time management?

　　时间管理有用么?

　　Shockingly when we look at some of the most of elite musicians in the world, we find that they aren't necessarily practicing more, but instead more deliberately. This is because they spend more time focused on the hardest task. And focus their energy in packets instead of diluting their effort over the entire day. They have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower they rely on a habit and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that the most elite violinists in the world generally follow a 90 minute work regime with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards. Instead of trying to maintain energy throughout the entire day, breaking it down into sessions with planned relaxation is most effective. But how can you develop the discipline to follow this routine?

　　当咱们观察了那些世界级的音乐家时，就会惊奇的发现他们不一定都是多做操练，而是做故意操练，这是由于他们把更多的时间用在了困难的使命上，把精力会集到了一同，他们没有把精力涣散在一整天傍边.而是进行短时间高强度的练习并适当歇息，不依赖意志力，他们靠的是习气和谨慎的组织，研讨发现世界上最优异小提琴家，是依照每操练90分钟歇息15到20分钟的机制来练习的，与其想要全天坚持精力充沛，如不把它们涣散成块并合作歇息更有功率，但你怎么才干严格遵守这个机制呢?

　　The second step: Give yourself a deadline.

　　第二步：给自个树立期限

　　Write it down; mark it in your calendar. And you'll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called anaccountability chart to document your progress. In one column write the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, similar to those on a diet who document their food intake. Writing down your progress allows you to realistically evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what you've done, furthermore tracking your progress helps to avoid small mindless work.

　　把它写下来，记在日历上，这么你完结使命的可能性就更大。在此之上，你要树立一个问责制图表来记载你的进展，栏写上时间跨度，另一栏写上在短时间内所完结的项目。有点像正在节食的人记载他们的食物摄入量.写下你的进展能够脚踏实地的评估自个的作业，从而不会自豪的以为自个现已完结了使命，此外盯梢你的作业进展还能使你避开一些分神的事情。

　　The last step: Stop multitasking.

　　最后一步： 中止多使命处理

　　Well it may feel like you're accomplishing more. Studies show that multitaskers are much less productive. Instead try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. This way you hit the ground running with your action plan. And avoid trying to complete multiple activities at once while you're at it split up your large tasks into smaller bite sized ones. Your brain will find these less daunting. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.

　　感受上好像你完结的更多。研讨以为多使命运行时功率反而更低，还不如在晚上列一张明日所要做的事的清单，这么更简单贯彻你的举动计划，防止企图以此完结一切使命，当处理高难度使命时，你可将它分红一个个小使命.你的大脑就会觉得这些不那么困难了，再着手举动就会轻松许多。有了一个清晰的方针和举动计划，你的生产率就能到达新的高度。
