    So you have to ask yourself, what are you constructing your life around? How are you structuring things?

  • 2

    Are the things that you're supposed to do entertaining in comparison to the things that you use as distractions?

  • 3

    Because the larger the disparity, the more agonizing that thing will be. And you'll find very quickly that if you delete distractions as an option, it works right away. It's insane.

  • 4

    This isn't like some dopamine detox that you gotta do over weeks and months and years, although that will help you get used to finding the entertainment value in difficult things.

  • 5

    This is something that works right away because your brain needs to to survive. It hates feeling bored.

  • 6

    So it will make whatever your only option is as entertaining as it needs to. I even have personal evidence for this.

  • 7

    One of the most productive, social, and energetic times in my entire life is when I was living in a little 900 square foot basement suite in the middle of suburbia with absolutely nothing to do except edit videos.

  • 8

    I was absolutely broke. And to edit these videos that I had to do for my very few corporate freelance videography clients.

  • 9

    I was sitting on an upside down laundry hamper because I couldn't afford an office chair, but this was deeply motivating to me.

  • 10

    Although I did live with my friend, Alex, he was hardly ever around so I had these long periods of loneliness.

  • 11

    But that sting of loneliness made me social. It made me make plans, it made me seek opportunities. My lack of money made me seek money.

  • 12

    And most importantly, the lack of things to do in there, the lack of distractions that I surrounded myself with, made me extremely bored.

  • 13

    Bored enough that editing videos and being highly creative and doing what I love actually felt entertaining as well.

  • 14

    So there's a perfect example of my environmental conditioning helping facilitate a mindset of creativity and attitude of productivity. It's because I had very few other options.

  • 15

    So in summary, if you have something you need to do right now, then eliminate all your back doors, turn off your phone, remove your gaming PC from your room, remove your Xbox.

  • 16

    Auto hide the toolbar so when you're thinking of the next word to write, you don't look at Safari and automatically click on it.

  • 17

    And in living life this way and treating productivity this way, it's not that you're going to live a less entertaining life.

  • 18

    In fact, you might find it far more entertaining and fulfilling and empowering than you ever knew possible.

  • 1

    所以你得问问自己,你的生活围绕着什么来构建? 你是如何构建事物的?

  • 2

    与那些让你分心的事情相比,你应该做的事情是有趣的吗?

  • 3

    因为差距越大,事情就会越痛苦。你很快就会发现,如果你剔除让你分心的选项,它马上就起作用了。这很荒唐。

  • 4

    这并不像你需要花费数周、数月甚至数年的时间来完成多巴胺排毒,尽管这会帮助你习惯在困难的事情中找到娱乐价值。

  • 5

    这是一种可以立即起作用的方法,因为你的大脑需要生存。它讨厌无聊的感觉。

  • 6

    所以它会让你的唯一选择变得尽可能有趣。我甚至有自己的证据。

  • 7

    我一生中最富有成效、最好交际、最精力充沛的一段时间是我住在郊区一个900平方英尺的地下室套房里,除了编辑视频什么都不做的时候。

  • 8

    我那时彻底破产了。为了编辑这些视频,我不得不为我为数不多的企业自由摄影师客户做这些工作。

  • 9

    我坐在一个颠倒的洗衣篮上,因为我买不起办公椅,但这对我来说是一种深深的激励。

  • 10

    虽然我和我的朋友亚历克斯住在一起,但他很少在我身边,所以我有很长一段时间的孤。

  • 11

    但这种孤独的刺痛让我变得善于交际。它让我制定计划,让我寻找机会。我缺钱,这使我想赚钱。

  • 12

    最重要的是,那里没有事情可做,周围没有让我分心的东西,这让我感到非常无聊。

  • 13

    无聊到剪辑视频,做我喜欢的事情,做我非常有创意的事情,实际上也觉得很有趣。

  • 14

    所以这是一个很好的例子,我的环境条件有助于促进创造性的心态和生产力的态度。那是因为我没有选择的余地。

  • 15

    总而言之,如果你现在有事情要做,那就关掉所有的后门,关掉手机,把游戏电脑从房间里拿出来,把Xbox拿走。

  • 16

    自动隐藏工具栏,这样当你想到下一个要写的单词时,你就不会在Safari上自动点击它。

  • 17

    以这种方式生活,以这种方式对待生产力,并非表示你的生活就不那么有趣了。

  • 18

    事实上,你可能会发现它比你想象的更有趣、更充实、更有力量。
