我如此“高效”的真正原因 The Real Reason I'm so 'Productive'
I often wonder what makes the difference between success and failure, resilience and giving up, consistency and procrastination.
我常思考，是什么造就了成功与失败、坚持与放弃、持之以恒与拖延之间的差别。
And although there are probably no simple answers, there is a framework that I've recently adapted that has genuinely changed things a lot for me and that I would absolutely love to share.
虽然可能没有简单的答案，但我最近适应了一个极有影响的框架，它为我带来了巨大的变化，我非常愿意与你分享。
Hiya, if you're new here, my name's Elizabeth.
嗨，如果你第一次来这个频道，我叫伊丽莎白。
I'm a medical student and an artist living in London.
我是一名居住在伦敦的医学生兼艺术家。
I am very, very curious about the way that my mind works.
我非常好奇自己的思维运作方式。
Using a framework from Naval Ravikant, I feel as though I have genuinely changed the way that I approach work and play.
借助 纳瓦尔·拉维坎特的理论框架，我感觉自己在对待工作和休闲的态度上发生了真正的改变。
The sentence that he said was that the opposite of play isn't work, it's depression.
他所说的是，玩耍的对立面不是工作，而是沮丧。
And this hit me hard.
这句话深深触动了我。
I've always seen things as being either work or play, and this is probably because that's how they were presented to me when I was younger.
我一直将事情归为工作或玩耍，这大概是因为小时候人们就是这样给我讲的。
I was told, for example, you can only leave the table and go back to play once you've finished your food, or I was told that I would only be able to watch TV or rest once I finished my homework.
例如，我被教导说只有吃完饭才能离开餐桌去玩，或者只有做完作业才能看电视或休息。
Things were always presented to me in a way that I could either rest and have fun, or do work and things that I had to do.
事情总是以这两种方式呈现给我：要么是休息娱乐，要么就是工作以及必须完成的任务。
And I feel as though I internalized this into thinking that I'm either working and being miserable, or I'm being happy and resting and doing whatever I want.
我感觉这种思维已经根深蒂固：要么我就是在辛苦工作，要么我就是在快乐休息，做自己想做的事。
But work and fun do not sit on opposite sides of the spectrum.
但工作与快乐并非截然对立。
Actually, the opposite of fun would be misery or, as Naval said, depression.
实际上，乐趣的反面是痛苦，或者正如纳瓦尔所言，是沮丧。
And work will sit somewhere in between, depending on the task.
工作则会处于快乐和沮丧中间的某个位置，具体取决于任务本身。
A task that I hate to do would be more on the misery side, and a task that I love to do would be more on the fun side.
我不喜欢的任务更偏向痛苦这边，而我喜欢的任务则更偏向乐趣这边。
When I find myself in a state of flow, and I'm working for 20 hours completely content and inspired, it's not because I've become a different person. and I hate to play.
当我完全沉浸在工作中，连续工作20小时都感到满足和充满灵感时，这并不意味着我变成了一个讨厌玩耍的人。
It's because to me, I am playing.
这是因为在我看来，这些工作本身就是一种玩耍。
That has become my goal in life, to find those things that look like work, pay like work, qualify as work, but to me fully feel like play.
这已经成为我人生的目标：寻找那些看似是工作、有工作的收入、符合工作条件，但对我来说却完全是游戏的事情。
So for example, being in the hospital, talking to patients, studying, reading, making notes, shooting these YouTube videos—all of these things to me fully qualify as play.
例如，待在医院里与病人交流、学习、阅读、记笔记、制作这些YouTube视频——这些对我而言都完全是在玩耍。
If I was younger, this would be in the category of things that I would choose to do in my resting time, not in my work time.
如果我年纪更轻些，这些活动会是我在休息时间而非工作时间选择做的事情。
Fortunately, these are the type of things that to other people might look like work.
幸运的是，这些事情在别人眼里可能看似工作。
I feel as though this is honestly so life-changing, and it's kind of been a principle of mine to look out for those things that other people say, "Oh my gosh, how are you doing that?
我觉得这真的能改变生活，而我一直遵循的一个原则就是关注那些让别人惊叹‘天哪，你怎么做到的？’的事情。
"That is so difficult," but to me feels incredibly easy.
那对别人来说可能很难，但对我却轻而易举。
If I were to be doing things that I don't like doing, as I have done in the past, I am honestly just as lazy, likely to procrastinate, if not more than the average person.
如果我还在做自己不喜欢的事情，就像以前那样，老实说，我可能跟一般人一样懒，甚至更容易拖延。
It's just because luckily I have had the privilege to design my life in such a way that I get to do things that I enjoy, that I can do them all day, every day.
这仅仅是因为我有幸能够设计自己的生活方式，使我能每天从早到晚做自己爱的事情。
I think this mind shift change is so amazing.
我觉得这种心态的转变真是太神奇了。
It is very difficult to compete with someone that is having fun because, as Naval also said, you can try to do what they are doing, but it is unlikely that you will be able to keep it up for 16 hours a day, seven days a week, as they are able to do because to them they are playing, and to you, you will be working.
和那些玩得开心的人竞争是非常困难的，因为正如纳瓦尔所说，你虽然可以尝试去做他们做的事，但你很难做到像他们那样，每天坚持16小时，一周七天，因为对他们来说，这是在玩耍，而对你，则是在工作。
So yes, I don't know if to everyone else this was completely obvious from the start because genuinely it was so life-changing for me.
所以，我不确定对别人来说这个道理是否从一开始就很明显，因为对我而言，它确实改变了我的生活。
So that might just be myself.
所以这或许只是我个人的想法。
So yes, seeing things in this way, trying to identify in myself what are the things that people are willing to pay for that I could do for 20 hours a day easily, and once I find those things like art and YouTube and medicine, I lean into those things and invest all of my time there.
所以，换个角度来看，我尝试识别出自己可以轻松每天投入20小时，且人们愿意支付的事物。一旦我找到了像艺术、YouTube和医学这样的事物，我就会全身心地投入其中，把所有时间都用在这些方面。
And that is how both I am happy and my results are hopefully good.
这就是我保持快乐且产出良好的方式。
So yes, I do genuinely hope that this helped anyone at all.
因此，我真心希望这能对大家有所帮助。
And as always, if you made it so far, thank you so much for spending this time with me.
一如既往，如果你看到了这里，非常感谢你抽出时间看我的视频。
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
希望你能度过愉快的一天。
Be kind to yourself and others, and don't believe everything you think.
友善地对自己和他人，同时不要完全相信自己的想法。
Thanks. Bye.
谢谢。再见。【贝贝英语网】
