持续改善

分类: 一、认知升级计划
知识需要不断被质疑、改进和更新,否则它就会消失。—Peter Drucker

就像知识一样,你不能把自律视为一成不变的。不幸的是,做一个自律的人并不是一件“一劳永逸”的事情。一旦你习惯了以某种方式生活,如果你不能够通过不断设定新的挑战和拒绝即时满足以期望在未来获得更好地回报,以此来不断持续地加强它,你仍然可能会失去它。

永远不要认为自己已经“ 足够自律”了。总会有一些新的领域是你可以去提升你的自控能力的,以此进一步扩大你的舒适区。

举例来说,有规律的锻炼对于我的自律来说是没有挑战的。为了能够强化它,我需要给自己设定更高更强的挑战目标。

除了把关注点放在健身上面,我还能够找到一些对于我来说是自律能力缺失的新领域(例如和其他人相处时培养更多的耐心),然后专注于此并不断提高它,直到它不再是对我决心的考验。

如此这般持续地练习,至少可以确保你能够维持你的自控力水平,并且在理想情况下能够做得更好。
Day 15: On Constant Improvement
Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.
—Peter Drucker 14
Just like knowledge, you can’t take self-discipline for granted. Unfortunately, being a self-disciplined person isn’t a “one and done” kind of thing. Once you have learned how to live that way, you can still lose it if you don’t consistently strengthen it by setting new challenges and rejecting instant gratification in favor of bigger future rewards.
Never assume that you’re “disciplined enough.” There’s always a new area in which you can improve your self-control and further expand your comfort zone.
For example, regular exercise poses no challenge for my self-discipline. In order to strengthen it, I need to set bigger and bigger exercise-related challenges for myself.
Instead of focusing on fitness, I can also find a new area in which my discipline is lacking (such as developing more patience when dealing with other people) and focus on improving it until it’s no longer a test for my resolve.
Such consistent practice ensures that you’re at least maintaining your level of self-control, and ideally always getting better at it.
