How to Change your Life in a Year (3 Simple Ideas)

发布时间 2024-01-31 14:00:12    来源
Hey friends welcome back to the channel. So what does it mean for a given person like you watching this video right now to change your life in a year? Well I think it mainly comes down to one simple idea, which is to go from where you are right now point A to where you want to be 12 months from now point B. As efficiently as possible I eat in as few steps as possible while enjoying the journey along the way. Now this is simple but not very easy and one of the tricky things is to actually figure out where you are right now and where you actually want to be. And that's what we figured out in the first two videos in this three part video series.
嗨,朋友们,欢迎回到这个频道。那么对于现在正在观看这个视频的你来说,一年内如何改变你的生活意味着什么呢?我认为这主要归结为一个简单的想法,即从你现在的位置——A点,移动到你想在12个月后达到的位置——B点。尽量在尽可能少的步骤中高效地完成,同时享受这个过程。这虽然简单,但并不容易。最棘手的部分之一是弄清楚你现在到底处于什么位置,以及你真正想达到什么地方。而这正是我们在这个三部视频系列的前两个视频中探讨的内容。

So in part one we figured out what's on North Star and what is the sort of destination we want to get to and in part two we tried to figure out where we are right now based on our past and present experiences. But now we're bringing everything down to just the 12 months time horizon changing your life in a year. And so we need to figure out how to go from A to B as efficiently as possible and while enjoying the journey along the way. And in this video we're going to go over three of my favorite methods for doing just that.
在第一部分中,我们确定了"北极星"是什么,以及我们想要到达的目标目的地。在第二部分中,我们试图根据过去和现在的经历弄清我们目前所处的位置。现在,我们把一切聚焦到12个月的时间范围内,也就是在一年内改变你的生活。因此,我们需要找出如何尽可能高效地从A到B,同时也享受旅途中的过程。在这个视频中,我将介绍实现这一目标的三种我最喜欢的方法。

Okay so the first method for changing your life in a year is the dreamlining method. Now I first came across this from Tim Ferrissis 4-hour work week but it's also in a malgommation of a couple of methods by Jim Ronan and Zieg Ziegler who were like big OG productivity guru type people in like the 20th century. And the idea behind the dreamlining method is that you basically ask yourself the question in the next 10 years what are the sorts of dreams that I might like dream for myself and I really like this exercise because it encourages us to go outside of our usual day to day and actually think a little bit longer term.
好的,第一个可以在一年内改变你生活的方法是梦想规划法。我最初是在蒂姆·费里斯的《每周工作4小时》这本书中了解到这个方法的,不过它也是对20世纪两位生产力大师——吉姆·罗南和齐格·齐格勒的一些方法的整合。这个方法的理念是让你思考:在未来的十年里,我可能会为自己设想哪些梦想?我非常喜欢这个练习,因为它鼓励我们跳出日常生活,从更长远的角度来思考。

And so here is the prompt that's worth thinking about. In the next 10 years what do you want to learn? What do you want to have? Who do you want to be? What do you want to try? What do you want to see? What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? What do you want to create? What do you want to contribute to? And what do you want to overcome? Now what I'd really encourage you to do is pause the video right now with all of these 10 things on screen and just take 10 minutes, set a 10 minute timer on your phone and just like write this down.
值得我们思考的问题是:在未来的十年里,你想学些什么?想拥有什么?想成为什么样的人?想尝试什么?想看到什么?想做些什么?想去哪里?想创造什么?想为哪些事情做出贡献?想要克服哪些困难?我建议你现在暂停视频,屏幕上会显示这10个问题。用手机设定一个10分钟的计时器,花10分钟时间把你的想法记录下来。

And the goal here is to go for quantity rather than quality. Your goal almost is to just keep the pen going as much as possible and almost like write as much as you can without even taking the pen off the page. Yes, you can type it if you want but I actually think there is something even more powerful about writing this stuff down and there is some evidence that writing things down by hand also kind of increases the pathways in our mind and all that fun stuff. But I'd really encourage you to pause the video right now and please do this exercise. I guarantee if you actually do this exercise it will change something about your life.
这里的目标是追求数量而非质量。你的目标几乎就是不停地写下去,尽量多写,甚至不要把笔从纸上移开。是的,如果你愿意,你可以打字,但我实际上认为,把这些东西用手写下来更加有力。有一些证据表明,手写东西确实可以增加我们大脑中的路径,带来更多有趣的效果。但我真的鼓励你现在暂停视频并做这个练习。我保证,如果你真的做了这个练习,它将改变你生活中的某些方面。

Okay, so I hope you've done that but if you're struggling with this then usually perfectionism gets in the way. A lot of people will think oh no but like now I have to think so hard and really the point of this exercise is you don't want to think too hard about it. You kind of know in your core and in your heart what are some of these things that you want. And if you let the head get in the way, if you let the mind think no that's not possible and no I can't do that, no I can possibly have that. Then that's sort of defeating the point.
好的,我希望你已经做到了,但如果你还在为此苦恼,通常是完美主义在作祟。很多人会觉得,哎呀,我现在必须费很大劲去思考。实际上,这个练习的重点是你不需要过度思考。你内心深处其实已经知道你想要哪些东西。如果总是让头脑妨碍,让思绪告诉你那不可能,那我做不到,那我不可能拥有,那么这就违背了练习的初衷。

This is not a list you need to share with anyone. It's not a list you're going to post on Instagram. There's just a personal list for yourself and we're just brainstorming. We're brainstorming some ideas here. So one way of thinking about this actually is that if there's anything in the next 10 years that you think you might want or there's even a remote possibility that you might want it, you have to put it down on the list and I want you to imagine that if you don't put it down on the list it is not going to happen but if you do put it down on the list then there is at least a possibility that it might happen.
这不是一个你需要和别人分享的清单,也不是一个你要发到Instagram上的清单。这只是你个人的清单,我们只是在集思广益。我们在这里头脑风暴一些想法。关于这个,你可以这样去思考:如果在未来的十年里有任何事情是你可能想要的,或者即便只是有一点点可能你会想要的,你都要把它写到清单上。我希望你设想一下,如果你没有把它写在清单上,那它就不会发生;但如果你写在清单上,那至少有可能让它发生。

So if you think for example maybe in the next 10 years I might want to write a book maybe I've got a 0.1% certainty that I might want to write a book that's enough put put down writer book on your 10 year dream list. The other thing with this method is that don't worry about coming across as a materialistic twat basically like don't worry about it. We are taught in society that it's wrong to want things to have but you know when I do this dream thing you know I want to have a nice big house, when I have a loving family and also I want to have a nice car like when I upgrade to the Tesla Model S you know it's it's actually totally fine to put down these sorts of materialistic things.
所以,如果你认为自己可能在未来十年内会想写一本书,即使这种可能性只有0.1%,也足够把“写一本书”列入你的十年梦想清单。另一点就是,不用担心看起来像个物质主义者,不用担心这个。社会教导我们追求物质是不对的,但做这个梦想清单时,我想要一座漂亮的大房子,一个充满爱的家庭,还有一辆好车,比如升级到特斯拉Model S,其实写下这些物质愿望完全没有问题。

Again you're not sharing the list with anyone and just make a YouTube video about it so don't allow yourself to be held back by like the sphere of like. no it's wrong of me to want something that costs large amounts of money. If you think you might want it put it on the list and you can walk towards it and maybe as you get there you'll realize you don't actually want it but at least you're like going in the direction that you've defined for yourself and there's a link down in the video description if you want a free Google Doc that has all these questions along with my answers so for whatever it's worth you can see what sort of things I wrote down in response to these questions.
再次强调,这个清单不用与他人分享,只是为此制作一个YouTube视频,所以不要因为顾虑而止步。不要认为自己想要昂贵的东西就是错误的。如果你觉得可能想要某个东西,就把它写在清单上,然后朝着这个目标前进。也许在前进的过程中,你会意识到其实并不想要它,但至少你朝着自己设定的方向在走。如果你想要免费的Google文档,其中包含所有这些问题和我的回答,可以在视频描述中找到链接。这样,无论这对你有何帮助,你都能看到我对这些问题的回答内容。

Now especially in that category of like things that you want to learn one of your 10 year dreams as mine was might be to learn computer science and if that's the case you may like to check out the sponsor of this video which is brilliant. Brilliant is an amazing online platform and it's the best way to learn maths or computer science or data science and you can learn those things in a super fun and engaging and interactive way. Brilliant has thousands of lessons from basic to advanced topics and they add new lessons in every month and recently they've added a brand new course all about how large language models work so you can really understand the science and the tech behind something like chat GPT.
现在,特别是在那类你想要学习的十年梦想中,比如我的梦想之一是学习计算机科学。如果你也有这样的想法,可以看看这个视频的赞助方——Brilliant。Brilliant是一个很棒的在线学习平台,是学习数学、计算机科学和数据科学的最佳方式。你可以通过超级有趣、互动的方式来学习这些内容。Brilliant提供从基础到高级的数以千计的课程,并且每个月都会增加新课程。最近,他们新增了一门全新的课程,讲解大型语言模型的工作原理,这样你就能真正理解像ChatGPT这样的技术背后的科学。

Now as I mentioned my personal favorite courses on brilliant other computer science ones because actually when I was applying to med school I was actually torn between medical school and computer science because I was interested in coding and I went for medicine in the end which I don't regret but I always harbored this interest in computer science and so the courses on brilliant you know the introduction to algorithms and how to program in Python and the other stuff in the computer science series have been really nice in helping me scratch that itch to learn a little bit more about how computers and about how coding works. In particular one of the new courses thinking in code is also really nice because it helps you solve real world problems using code which is also a really cool way to level up your own general problem solving abilities.
现在,正如我提到的,我个人偏爱的课程是Brilliant平台上的计算机科学类课程。因为其实在我申请医学院的时候,我曾在医学和计算机科学之间犹豫不决,因为我对编程很感兴趣。最终,我选择了医学,我并不后悔这个决定,但我始终对计算机科学抱有兴趣。因此,Brilliant平台上的课程,比如算法入门和Python编程,以及其他计算机科学系列课程,对我来说特别好,帮助我满足了对计算机和编程原理的好奇心。尤其是新课程“代码思维”特别棒,因为它教你如何用代码解决现实世界的问题,这也是提升自己整体问题解决能力的一种很酷的方式。

All right so now that we've got our 10 year dreams vaguely pencil sketched out just a sort of sense of what I maybe might want in the next 10 years let's now move on to method number two which is bringing it down to a five year time horizon and method number two is the Odyssey plan. Now this is an amazing exercise from the book designing your life by Dave Evans and Bill Burnett. They are professors at Stanford Business School and they have a class about how to apply design thinking to your actual life. Now the idea of the Odyssey plan is that you have these three different prompts.
好的,那么我们现在已经粗略勾画出自己未来10年的梦想,有了一个大概的方向,那么接下来我们就来进行方法二,把时间计划缩短到五年,以奥德赛计划(Odyssey Plan)为方法。这是一本名为《设计你的人生》(Designing Your Life)的书中的一个非常棒的练习,该书由斯坦福商学院的教授戴夫·埃文斯(Dave Evans)和比尔·伯内特(Bill Burnett)撰写。他们教授的课程是关于如何将设计思维应用到实际生活中。奥德赛计划的核心思想是你需要面对三个不同的提示。

The first prompt is your current path and the prompt is write out in detail what your life looks like five years from now if you continue down your current path. So again what I would really recommend you do is you pause this video and you take action and you actually spend five minutes just drafting out pen and paper, apple notes, whatever the hell you want to use. What does your life look like five years from now if you continue down whatever path you're already on and it's useful here to really imagine like what does an actual day in the life look like? What time are you waking up? What are you doing for breakfast? How long are you commuting to work? Are you even working?
第一个提示是你当前的路径,而提示内容是详细写下如果你继续沿着当前的路径前进,五年后的生活会是什么样子。因此,我强烈建议你暂停这个视频,花五分钟时间付诸行动,用纸笔、苹果记事本或任何你喜欢的工具草拟出这幅图景。想象一下如果你继续走当前的道路,五年后的生活是什么样子,想象一下实际生活中的一天是怎样的:你几点起床?早餐吃什么?通勤上班需要多长时间?你是否还在工作?

Like what's going on there? What are you doing at work? What time is your lunch break? What time do you get back from work? What do you do in evenings? Like what does a day in your life look like five years from now when your current path? And obviously you're not going to know for certain but you can make a pretty good guess depending on where you are in your life right now. All right now we come to prompt number two so ignore everything you've written for your current path you're going to design a new path and this is your alternative path. Write out in detail what your life looks like five years from now if you took a completely different path.
就像是在问:“那里发生了什么?你在工作中做些什么?你的午休时间是几点?你几点下班回家?晚上都做些什么?”然后再思考一下,如果按照你现在的生活轨迹,五年后的生活会是怎样的。虽然不能百分百确定,但根据你现在的生活情况,大概可以做一个比较好的预测。好了,现在我们进入第二个话题,请忽略你当前的生活轨迹,设计一条新的道路,构想一个全新的生活方向。详细写下如果你选择了一条完全不同的生活路径,那么五年后的生活会是怎样的。

So I took some people through this exercise when I gave a talk at Google a few months ago and all of them were software engineers and so what you know their current path was continuing down the route of software engineering where there's. Their alternative path what I said to them is like all right guys you're no longer allowed to do software engineering as a career and you also get fired from Google and you're not allowed to apply for another job at Google. What does your alternative path look like in that context? So that just hopefully gives you an idea of like what we're talking about with current versus alternative. And again I'd recommend you pause the video write it down because I guarantee this exercise has the potential to change your life if you actually do the work and then once you've done that we now have the most interesting question which is ignore your answers to the first two prompts the current path and the alternative path and now write out your radical path.
几个月前,我在谷歌做了一场演讲,并带领一些人进行了这个练习。他们都是软件工程师,因此他们目前的职业道路就是继续从事软件工程。我告诉他们的替代路径是这样的:“好了,大家现在不允许继续以软件工程作为职业,而且你们被谷歌解雇了,不能再申请谷歌的其他职位。在这种情况下,你们的另一条人生道路会是什么样的?” 这样就希望能让你明白我们在谈论“当前路径”与“替代路径”时的意思。我建议你暂停视频,把自己的想法写下来,因为如果你真心投入,这个练习有可能改变你的人生。在完成这个步骤后,我们将面临最有趣的问题,那就是无视你对前两个问题(当前路径和替代路径)的回答,现在写下你的“激进路径”。

Write out in detail what your life looks like five years from now if money and social obligations and what people would think were completely irrelevant. I would recommend you pause the video think about it write it down and I guarantee if you do it really has the potential to change your life. Now the whole idea behind the Odyssey plan is not that you're necessarily picking one of these or picking in a amalgamation of them but it just gives you permission to think a little bit more divergent to think a little bit more broad because all of us have a tendency to stick to the path that we already on and we fail to realize that actually whatever you are on your life right now even though it might not seem like it you actually have loads of different options if you're sitting here watching this video right now on some kind of device you have more options than like 90% of the world's population however grim you think your situation individually might be.
如果金钱、社会责任和别人的看法完全无关紧要,你的生活在五年后会是什么样子?我建议你暂停视频,仔细思考,然后写下来。我保证,如果你这样做,它真的有可能改变你的生活。现在“奥德赛计划”的整个想法,并不是说你一定要选择其中一个或将它们融合在一起,而是让你有机会进行更广泛的思考,更具发散性。我们都有坚持现有道路的倾向,而往往没有意识到,无论你现在的生活看起来如何,其实你有许多不同的选择。如果你此刻正在通过某种设备观看这个视频,你可能拥有的选择比世界上90%的人都多,不论你个人的情况看起来多么严峻。

Now whenever I bring up this Odyssey plan to people there are always people in the audience that say oh but you know what about these financial constraints I have what about these family obligations and you know this sort of I can't just abandon my kids can I and yes I'm not suggesting you abandon your kids. The current path is the path that you're currently on with all of the financial and family and all of these social obligations that you currently have the alternative path is those obligations are still intact it's just you have to take a different path but the radical path asks us to imagine a world in which just like imagine what if money were no object what if you just had a hundred million in the bank how would you then be spending your time what might that path look like and the whole idea behind the whole social obligation thing it's not that you're going to abandon your kids in this in this radical path the idea is that you're not worried about what other people will think.
现在,每当我向人们提起这个《奥德赛计划》时,总会有人说:“哦,你知道吗,我有经济上的限制,还有家庭责任,我不能就这样抛弃我的孩子,对吧?”当然,我并不是建议你抛弃孩子。当前的路径是你目前所走的道路,包含所有的财务、家庭和社会责任。而另一条路径是:这些责任依旧存在,只是你采取了不同的方式。但“激进路径”要求我们想象这样一个世界:假如钱不是问题,假如你银行里有一个亿,你会如何度过你的时间?那条路径会是什么样?关于社会责任的理念并不是让你在这条激进路径上抛弃孩子,而是让你不再担心别人的看法。

Often the fear of what others will think and the judgment they might bring on us holds us back from achieving the things that we actually want to achieve in life. Obviously if you have kids you've got to deal with the kids like I'm not suggesting you abandon your kids like that's not the goal of this the goal is to just break free of the limitations of what society is telling you you need to do with your life based on what you've already done up to this now. I think a lot of people might think that the value of something like the Odyssey plan is these alternative futures that you're imagining but actually for me when I did this in 2019 the main value I got from it was recognizing what is the life I will have if I continue down my current path and I actually wrote about it in my weekly newsletter that I've been writing every week since 2018.
经常是对他人想法和可能对我们的评价的恐惧,让我们无法实现自己真正想要达成的生活目标。当然,如果你有孩子,你必须照顾他们,我并不是建议你抛弃孩子——这绝不是目的。目的在于摆脱社会基于你过去所做事情而对你人生的束缚。我认为很多人可能觉得像奥德赛计划这样的东西的价值在于你所想象的这些不同未来,但实际上,对我来说,当我在2019年进行这个计划时,最大的收获是意识到如果继续走当前的道路,我的人生将会变成什么样。我甚至在自己的周刊上写过这件事,从2018年开始,我每周都会写这份简报。

So this is what I wrote out when I was around 25th and this was about four something years ago and feel free to pause the video if you want to have a read of it but then this is what I wrote in my email afterwards when I was writing this out I honestly felt a bit depressed I had a feeling of is this really it I guess it's similar to the classic middle-of-crisis that you're supposed to have when you hit 40 when you realize that your life is basically over. Don't get me wrong this future vision is a pretty idyllic life but there's nothing particularly cool about it there's just a very standard result the path I'm currently on and if I think about the climb the process of getting there it's pretty pedestrian. I just have to do more of what I've been doing for the last few years turn out more youtube videos launch a few more online courses and next thing I know I'll be 30 looking back and wondering where my 20s went.
所以这是我在大约25岁时写的东西,大概是四年多前的事了。如果你想仔细读一读,可以随时暂停视频。在写这段文字时,我确实感到有些沮丧,我有一种疑问:这真的是我想要的吗?我想这种感觉跟人们常说的40岁那种中年危机有点类似,意识到人生基本上就这样了。别误会,我描绘的未来生活是很理想的,但并没有什么特别精彩的地方,只是一个很普通的结果,就像我当前正在走的路。如果我回头想想达到这个目标的过程,也就是一直向上爬的过程,会觉得很平淡无奇。我只是要继续做过去几年一直在做的事情,制作更多的YouTube视频,推出更多的在线课程,等我回过神来就30岁了,回头看看,难免会想我的20岁怎么就这样过去了。

Now this exercise was really impactful for me because it made me realize that you know this current path it's not really the path I want there are aspects of it I like I like the idea of continuing to make youtube videos I do already want to be training as a part-time trainee in anesthetics and supervising physiology on the side just seemed a bit not very exciting and that was the realization that made me realize oh hang on I can make a change to what I'm doing right now and I can actually choose the sort of direction that I want to take with my life and I can actually tweak what I'm currently doing to land at an entirely different destination.
这次练习对我影响很大,因为它让我意识到目前这条路并不是我真正想要的。我喜欢其中的一些方面,比如继续制作YouTube视频,我确实也想作为麻醉学的兼职学员进行培训,同时监督生理学。但这样的安排似乎有点不太令人兴奋。这一认知让我意识到,我可以改变自己的现状,并选择我想要的人生方向。我实际上可以调整自己目前的做法,以到达一个完全不同的目标。

Okay so what does all this have to do with our goal here which is to change your life in the next year well the idea behind figuring out what you want in the next 10 years and figuring out what you might possibly kind of aim for in the next five is to ultimately boil it down to a list of things that we want to achieve in the next 12 months and this is method number three which is the 12-month celebration what you want to do is basically pick somewhere between three to five goals that you're going to focus on for the next 12 months and I call it a celebration because the way I like to figure these goals out is by imagining 12 months from now I'm sitting across with a friend and we're having coffee and we're celebrating the progress we've made in our lives and how great things have gone over the last 12 months.
好的,那么这一切与我们想在接下来一年中改变你的生活的目标有什么关系呢?想法是,通过弄清你在接下来十年里想要什么,以及在接下来五年里你可能会瞄准的目标,从而最终把它简化成一个我们希望在接下来的12个月里实现的目标清单。这就是第三种方法,即“12个月庆祝法”。你要做的就是选择三到五个目标,这是你接下来12个月要专注的。我称之为“庆祝”是因为我喜欢用一种想象的方式来确定这些目标:想象12个月后,我和一个朋友坐在一起喝咖啡,我们正在庆祝过去一年中在生活上取得的进展以及一切美好的事情。

Usually I like to have at least one thing for health one thing for relationships and one thing for work and I don't like to have more than five because I think four is a good number because like more than five you start to not really remember what you're focusing on and you start to focus on too many things and so I would encourage you to pause the video right now and have a think 12 months from now what would you like to be celebrating with a friend in your health in your work and in your relationships and any other category of life that you might choose to celebrate things in.
通常,我喜欢在健康、关系和工作方面各设定一个目标。而且,我不喜欢超过五个目标,因为我觉得四个是个不错的数字。因为如果超过五个,你可能开始记不住自己在关注什么,反而分散了注意力。因此,我建议你现在暂停一下,想一想在接下来的12个月里,你希望在健康、工作和人际关系方面,与朋友一起庆祝些什么,以及生活中任何其他你想庆祝的领域。

This is why figuring out what our 10 year dreams are is often helpful because mostly people find that a lot of their 10 year dream could actually be accomplished in the next 12 months if they really set their mind to it and even just deciding that and making that list and writing it down and just looking at it every now and then is basically guaranteed to change your life this is a whole idea of manifestation but manifestation is really just like you've set a goal in your mind and now your brain your default mode network your reticular activating system all of these like aspects of the brain and mind are focused then on like recognizing those things that will get you closer to your goal.
这就是为什么弄清楚我们的十年梦想通常是有帮助的,因为大多数人发现,他们的很多十年梦想如果真正下定决心,都可以在接下来的12个月内实现。即使只是决定这样做,列出清单,写下来,偶尔看看它,也基本上能改变你的生活。这就是“显化”的整个理念,但其实显化就像是在你心中设定了一个目标,现在你的大脑——默认模式网络、网状激活系统等这些大脑和心灵的方面,都会聚焦在那些能让你更接近目标的事情上。

But if you want to make this even more powerful then there are three follow-up questions you may want to ask yourself for each of these three to five goals and those questions are why how and when so the first one is why why is this goal actually important to you the more reasons you have for doing something the more likely you are to do it whereas the fewer reasons you have the less like you are to do it if something is really important to you know starting with why really connecting to the purpose behind it it is far more likely to happen compared to if it's just a thing that you just sort of maybe feel like doing and don't have really any compelling reasons to do the thing.
但如果你想让这个过程更有力量,可以为每个目标问自己三个后续问题:为什么、如何以及何时。首先是“为什么”:为什么这个目标对你来说真的重要?理由越多,你实现它的可能性就越大;反之,理由越少,实现的可能性就越小。如果某件事情对你真的很重要,那么从“为什么”开始,深入连接其背后的意义,比起随意产生的想法而没有强烈理由去做,会更容易实现。

Secondly how are you going to do the thing what are the three to five major moves that will help you get to that goal so for example one of my goals for 2024 is to get into the best shape of my life why because of various reasons to involving improving my appearance improving my cardiovascular health improving my stamina I don't want to die young I've kind of got a bit of a belly and poor genetics so I want to get rid of all that stuff I don't want to have my increased risk of cardiovascular events or strokes like that run in the family there's all sorts of reasons I have for wanting to get into the best shape of my life.
其次,你打算如何实现你的目标?有哪些三到五个主要步骤可以帮助你达成这个目标?例如,我2024年的目标之一是让自己达到有史以来最佳的身体状态。为什么呢?有很多原因,包括提升外貌、改善心血管健康、提高耐力。我不想英年早逝,目前我有些小肚腩,加上遗传基因不佳,所以我想摆脱这些问题。我不希望自己有家族遗传的心血管事件或中风风险。所有这些原因促使我希望达到最佳身体状态。

And then if I figure out the how the how is like the three to five main moves that are going to get there and so what are those it's gym three to four times a week progressive overload eating healthily and eating lots of protein and honestly if I actually went to the gym three to four times a week with progressive overload with healthy eating and enough protein I'm basically guaranteed to get I'm basically guaranteed to get to my goal of being in the best shape of my life and that's how I know that I've got the right plan at least for now.
然后,我确定实现目标的方法,即三到五个主要步骤。那么这些步骤是什么呢?就是每周去健身房三到四次,进行渐进式超负荷训练,健康饮食并摄入足够的蛋白质。老实说,如果我真的每周能去健身房三到四次,结合渐进式超负荷训练、健康饮食和足够的蛋白质摄入,我几乎可以保证自己能达到目标,达到我人生中最佳的身体状态。至少目前来看,我知道我是有一个正确的计划的。

And then the final question is when when are you going to find the time to work on those specific things and really getting specific on what that actually looks like is going to be ridiculously important and if you're interested in the specific method that I used to manage my time and do all the stuff that will be linked up there and down below it's the trident method for managing your time.
最后一个问题是,你什么时候会抽出时间来处理那些具体的事情?真正明确这些事情的具体样貌非常重要。如果你对我用来管理时间的方法感兴趣,可以在上面和下面找到相关链接。这就是“三叉戟时间管理法”。

Now for me I'm going to be honest I did not have a systematic way of setting goals back in the day I've only recently come across a lot of this stuff as I've been reading a lot about the signs of goal setting and things like that but if I connect the dots looking backwards oh you know one thing that I did actually do is the Odyssey plan and you can see the results of that but every year I would try and set goals and I would sort of come up with a bunch of random ones and I've been doing like annual reviews on notions since 2019.
现在我要坦诚说,以前我并没有一个系统的方法来设定目标。最近我才开始接触到很多关于目标设定的知识,因为我阅读了很多相关书籍和资料。不过,如果回顾过去,我确实做过一件事情,那就是制定奥德赛计划,你可以看到它的结果。每年我都会尝试设定一些目标,不过这些目标有时是随机的。从2019年开始,我就用Notion做年度回顾。

But there were always goals like I want to learn the guitar I want to learn how to sing I want to get into a relationship I want to improve my posture I want to become a gym shock athlete there's just too many things but if I really think about it I only really had one goal when I started this YouTube channel and sort of worked on this business and that one goal was the goal of financial freedom.
但总是有很多目标,比如我想学吉他,我想学会唱歌,我想开始一段恋爱关系,我想改善我的姿势,我想成为一个健身达人。有太多的事情想做,但如果我认真想一想,当我开始这个 YouTube 频道和做这项事业时,我其实只有一个真正的目标,那就是实现财务自由。

I knew that like with every fiber of my being that I never wanted to be shackled to a job that I didn't enjoy and I saw so many doctors around me absolutely miserable at work and I was like this is my personal definition of hell. So the thing that I would think about in the shower the podcasts I would listen to on the way to work and back the YouTube videos I would be watching the courses I'd be taking the books that I'd be reading all of this stuff was all focused on this one goal of how do I achieve financial freedom.
我深知我绝不想被困在一个自己不喜欢的工作中。我见过太多医生在工作时痛苦不堪,对我来说,那真是个人间地狱。因此,哪怕是在洗澡时我会想到的事情、上班和下班路上听的播客、看的YouTube视频、参加的课程、读的书,所有这些都集中在一个目标上:我怎样才能实现财务自由。

You know I was giving a talk at I came registered a to a bunch of medical students and a bunch of them were asking you what are your tips for making money one of them was tutoring for 40 pounds an hour and I was like he was like you know I'm doing some private tutoring and I was like how much money are you making he was like oh it's a lot of money how much it's like 40 pounds an hour oh my god so much money it's like $50 an hour.
我之前在做一次演讲,听众都是医学生,他们中的一些人问我挣钱的建议。有一个学生在做私人辅导,每小时收费40英镑。我问他赚了多少钱,他说赚了很多。我接着问多少,他回答是每小时40英镑。我感叹道:“哇,那可是很多钱,相当于每小时50美元呢。”

And I was like oh bro he you know I then asked some follow up questions and he was like okay you know what are we aiming for he was like you know I really want to build a business and you know make lots of money achieve financial freedom and I asked him okay how many books have you read about building a business it was like zero.
我当时心里想,哎兄弟,他这个...我于是问了几个后续的问题,他就说,好吧,你知道我们要达成什么目标。我接着问他,他表示他真的很想创业,赚很多钱,实现财务自由。我问他你读了多少关于创业的书,他说一本文都没读过。

I was like how many YouTube videos do you watch about building a business it was like you know just yours I was like do you watch any Alex almost you stuff know how many podcasts you listen to about building business it was like I mean I don't have time to listen to podcasts I may I may student and I was like oh I'm not knocking the guy because it's good they was making 40 quid an hour as a private tutor but when you set your goal on like this one thing and you orient your life towards just that one thing you know like Michael Phelps all he probably thinks about is swimming.
我问他:“你看过多少关于创业的YouTube视频?”他说:“就看过你的。”我接着问:“那你看过Alex Almost的内容吗?”他说:“没有。”然后我问他:“你听过多少关于创业的播客?”他说:“我没有时间听播客,我可能是个学生。”我想,我并不是在批评他,因为他当家教每小时能挣40英镑也不错。但当你专注于一个目标,并围绕这个目标调整生活,就像迈克尔·菲尔普斯可能只想着游泳一样。

Right he's not thinking he's not worrying about all these other 18 different goals that he wants to achieve he's focused on that one thing and doing that one thing really well and he lives and breathes that one thing. Similarly even now I'm still focused on the goal of growing my business that's one of my three goals for the year also focused on my health which is why I did a personal trainer session this morning but I'm so focused on that that like I've all like today it's it's like 230 and I've already listened to like three podcasts at 2.5 x speed all about growing a business.
他没有分心,也不担心其他18个想要实现的目标,他专注于一件事情,并把这件事情做到极致,可以说他的生活和呼吸都在围绕这件事情。类似地,即使在现在,我仍然专注于拓展我的业务,这是我今年的三个目标之一。同时,我也关注我的健康,这也是为什么我今天早上参加了一堂私人健身教练课。我对这个目标非常专注,就像今天一样,已经下午2点半了,我已经用2.5倍速听了三个关于如何发展业务的播客。

And this is what I think a lot of people don't realize that this sort of stuff doesn't just happen accidentally I've not met a single entrepreneur who has achieved financial freedom who has not dedicated a lot of their life to the mindless pursuit of that one thing. There's a good book by Felix Dennis called How to Get Rich which basically talks about that if you actually want to get rich you have to devote your life to that one goal.
很多人没有意识到,这类事情并不是偶然发生的。我还没有遇到一个实现财务自由的企业家,不是把大量的时间和精力奉献给对这个目标的执着追求。Felix Dennis 写了一本好书,叫《致富之道》,他在书中基本上谈到,如果你真的想要变得富有,就必须全身心地投入,实现这个单一目标。

I'm not saying that that's what you should want but if you do want it then it's worth recognizing that there is value in focusing there's value in focusing on that goal and like orienting your life towards it and orienting the consumption of content and reading and writing and like podcasting and audiobooks and all the stuff towards that one goal.
我不是说你应该想要这样,但如果你确实想要,那么认识到专注于这个目标的价值是很重要的。调整你的生活、消费的内容、阅读、写作、播客、有声书等一切都围绕这个目标,是非常有意义的。

If your one goal is to get really good grades in your exams then obviously you're already spending a lot of your time doing that thing but for some reason when it comes to non-work thing stuff non-academic stuff we don't realize that based on the goal you should absolutely change your behaviors if you actually care about achieving that goal. Now what have I said in this video? I basically said figure out what you want in the next 10 years, figure out what you might want in the next five, and then turn it into a bunch of 12 month goals. It's the basic standard advice that every personal development and like personal growth and self-help book has been spouting since the dawn of time, but it's still ridiculously valuable.
如果你的唯一目标是要在考试中取得好成绩,那么显然你已经花了很多时间在这方面的努力上。但是,当涉及到非学术的事情时,我们却没有意识到,为了实现这些目标,你应该根据目标改变自己的行为。如果你真的在乎实现这个目标的话。那么我在视频中都说了什么呢?我基本上是说,找出你未来十年想要的,找出你未来五年可能想要的,然后将其转换成一系列的12个月的目标。这是自我提升和个人发展书籍一贯强调的基本建议,虽然听起来老生常谈,但依然非常有价值。

And yeah loads of people set 12 month goals but then how often do they actually think why, how, and when? How often do they actually look at those goals? You know one thing that often sometimes super successful people say is that all you need to do is write down what you want to do and just look at that list every day. Even just that act of writing down what you want and actually looking at it every day will nudge your brain and your mind and your behavior towards that direction.
是的,很多人会制定12个月的目标,但他们有多经常真正思考为什么、怎么做和什么时候去实现呢?他们有多经常真正回顾这些目标呢?你知道吗,有时候非常成功的人常常说,你只需要写下你想做的事情,并每天查看这个清单。哪怕只是把你想要的东西写下来,并每天看看,也会在潜移默化中推动你的大脑、思想和行为朝着那个方向发展。

And yeah you might not be able to specify exactly what the timeline for the thing is, like when you're gonna achieve the goal, but if you write it down and look at it every day it's often magical how the brain somehow finds different things to latch on to and helps you get towards that thing that you think you want. But you have to write it down. So this brings us to the end of our three part series on how to figure out what you actually want. In part one we talked about finding your north star. In part two we talked about finding where you are right now and in part three, in this part, we've talked about boiling it all down to a series of 12 month goals and defining a why, a how, and a when for each of these three to five 12 month goals.
是的,你可能无法准确指出实现目标的时间表,比如你什么时候能达成目标,但是如果你把它写下来并每天查看,常常会惊奇地发现,大脑会找到不同的方法去实现你认为想要的东西。但你必须要把它写下来。这样,我们就结束了关于如何弄清楚你真正想要什么的三部系列。在第一部分中,我们谈到了寻找你的指路明灯。在第二部分中,我们讨论了识别你目前所在的位置。而在第三部分,也就是这部分中,我们讲述了如何将目标浓缩为一系列的12个月目标,并为每个三到五个12个月的目标定义一个为什么、如何以及何时。

If you haven't seen the other videos in the series I'd recommend you might like to check them out especially if you've got into this part of the video. You probably vibe with this sort of stuff and genuinely these are all like journaling prompt things. No one can tell you what you want in life; it's a really hard question to answer but it's not an impossible question to answer. I think a lot of us have the default assumption that it's just you know it's sort of like the meaning of life, like there's no answers but it's not like the meaning of life in there are answers.
如果你还没看过这个系列的其他视频,我建议你去看看,尤其是如果你已经看到这个视频的这个部分了。你可能对这些内容很感兴趣,其实这些都像是写日记时的提示。没有人能告诉你生活中你想要什么;这是个非常难以回答的问题,但并不是无法回答。我认为我们很多人默认地认为这个问题就像生命的意义一样,是没有答案的,但实际上它并不是生命的意义,而是有答案的问题。

And those answers you can get at through a systematic process of journaling prompts, of reflection, and ideally of writing things down. The importance of writing things down is like if you're trying to solve a complex mathematical equation you wouldn't try and do it in your head; you would write things down. The complex mathematical equation of what you actually want is exactly the sort of thing that benefits from some serious thought, serious effort, because if you change the things that you want that completely changes your direction in life.
通过系统化的日记提示、反思,最好还有书写这样的方式,你可以获得那些答案。书写的重要性就像是在解决复杂的数学方程时,你不会仅凭脑子思考;你会把步骤写下来。你真正想要的东西就像这样的复杂方程,需要认真思考和努力,因为一旦你的目标发生变化,那将彻底改变你的人生方向。

So really the more effort you can put into figuring out this fundamental question of what do I actually want, the more likely you are to actually get it. Now if you haven't seen episode one or two in the series, episode one will be linked over there around finding your north star and episode two will be linked over here around figuring out where you are and what you actually want. So thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the series and I'll see you in the next video. Bye bye.
所以,实际上你投入越多的精力去弄清这个基本问题——我究竟想要什么,你就越有可能真正得到它。如果你还没看过这个系列的第一或第二集,第一集关于寻找你的北极星,可以在那边找到链接,第二集关于搞清楚你在哪里以及你真正想要什么,可以在这边找到链接。非常感谢你的观看。希望你喜欢这个系列,我们下个视频再见。再见。
