事情太多卻完全不想做?先做完這一件吧!
Sometimes you don’t feel like doing anything.
有時間你會覺得什麼都不想做。When you find yourself not in the zone… what do you do?
當你發現自己完全不在狀態的時候，你會怎麼做？How do you get things done when you don’t feel like doing anything?
在你什麼事情都不想做的時候，你得怎麼完成工作呢？
Not Getting Anything Done
什麼事情都做不成The other night I found myself unable to get anything done.
不久前的晚上，我發現我就是什麼事情都做不完。I was tired. Energy levels were low.
我非常累，精力非常差。My mind just wanted to shut down for the day.
我的心裏只想在這天停工休息。Yet, I had 2 hours of free time on my hands and a todo list a mile long.
但是我還有兩小時的空閒時間，還有好長好長一段待辦清單。I was having trouble getting motivated to do anything.
我沒辦法激發自己的動力去做任何事情。“When you least ‘want’ to do something, is often when you most ‘need’ to take action.”
有句話說的好：當你最不想做某事的時候，也正是你最需要採取行動的時候。Determined to get something done… (anything really)… I picked up one small Task.
我決心要做點什麼事（什麼事都行），於是我選擇了一件很小的工作。I figured if I couldn’t get anything else done, I would do just this one task.
我想通了：如果我沒辦法完成其他的事情，我至少要做好這件工作。Just One Task
只完成一件工作I forced myself into doing that one task.
我強迫自己去做這件工作。It was a low effort task. It could be done in a few minutes.
這是一件輕鬆省力的活兒，只要幾分鐘就能完成。It involved scanning a 1-page receipt and emailing it to a colleague.
只是掃描一頁收據，然後用郵件發給同事就行。Within a few minutes it was done. Scanned, emailed, and finished.
幾分鐘就能完成，掃描，發郵件，搞定啦。It felt good to cross even one item off my todo list.
完成了工作，從待辦清單上劃掉這一項，感覺非常好。Glancing at my list, I soon found a few other items that I was interested in addressing.
再看一眼待辦清單，我會發現還有其他一些事宜我也願意花時間去處理。I was soon doing some related tasks. An expense report. Answering several emails. And more.
接着我做了一些相關的工作。提交報銷單，回覆郵件，接着是更多的事情。You could say that once I got myself in motion, I stayed in motion.
可以說一旦我開始行動了，我就會保持這種狀態。One Thing Done, What’s Next?
做好一件事，然後呢？When you find yourself unable to get anything done, try focusing on getting just one thing done.
如果你發現自己沒辦法做任何事，那不妨先將精力集中完成其中的一件事情。One-at-a-time. That is how progress is made.
一次做一件，依此類推，我們都是這樣一點點取得進步的。
