不自欺之法

Habit tracking keeps you honest. Most of us have a distorted view of our own behavior. We think we act better than we do. Measurement offers one way to overcome our blindness to our own behavior and notice what is really going on each day.

勢篇第五

故善戰者,求之於勢,不責於人,故能擇人而任勢。

所以,善於指揮作戰的將帥,總是設法尋求有利的態勢,不強求自己的部屬,這樣他們的注意力就能不放在強求人上,而放在充分利用有利的態勢上。

Instant enjoyment of bad habit

We all want better lives for our future selves. However, when the moment of decision arrives, instant gratification usually wins. You are no longer making a choice for Future You, who dreams of being fitter or wealthier or happier. You are choosing for Present You, who wants to be full, pampered, and entertained. As a general rule, the more immediate pleasure you get from an action, the more strongly you should question whether it aligns with your long-term goals.

幾田りら「Answer」

How far will this go?

I guess I'll walk along

Stare at myself in the mirror

Cannot find the answer

My heart is still lacking a little bit

Now I want to hug you


That night I crouched down and shed tears

Loneliness let me grow


Although he is very clumsy and worthless

Even if I hate myself

In the days that coming

I want to dream in the future


In the morning, the sun rises

Chasing “someday”

With an outstretched hand

A place that cannot be reached yet

The fearfulness that hides inside my chest deeply

Don't destroy my heart

I'm untwisting it now


Engaging day by day

Unbearable expectations

Overtake my heart

"It's okay", I say

Reverse of emotion

I'm a weak person


Time is deducting, loading is rising

Like an upside down hourglass

Review the time that has passed

Even if I could start over

I'll definitely choose this path again


The feeling I verified when I closed my eyelids

Ride with a tailwind and accelerate the speed

There are days when I feel like I lose my foothold

Don't be afraid to make mistakes anymore

I'll step forward


A handcrafted future forecasting

I'll rewrite it with my both hands


Towards an invisible voice

Don't let it be taken away

My proof of being here


I'll continue to live with my imagination

When I look back, there are countless goal lines

Proof that we have overcome


How far will this go?

I guess I'll walk along

In the reflection in the mirror, I nod

It's fine to remain unfinished

Looking for the missing pieces

Weaving the days together again

Focus

心不在焉,大忌,要專心一志。

專心一致,也要留意外圍環境。

Standing desk

How long should you stand at a standing desk?

Try to alternate between sitting and standing every 30 to 60 minutes. Bottom Line: Try to alternate between sitting and standing. Early research suggests you should only spend 1 hour standing for every 1–2 hours sitting.

話說老闆巡店當天我休息,前一天當然要整理好書架。Part-time 同事還想我替他疊銀埋數,叫我8:30pm 回收銀處,提出的藉口是他也要在兒童部執場,我口輕輕答應了他。到了8:30pm 我的工作仍未完成,上級問我有沒有叫 Part-time 同事疊銀,我們都認為他是怕埋錯數,沒有其他原因,因為兒童部當天還有另一位Part-time女同事值班。

重點不在上文。我們九點關門,大概 8:35pm,Part-time 男同事不斷用 Walkie Talkie 叫我返回收銀處。我亦在對講機說英文兒童書被小朋友弄到亂七八糟,我要先處理。當時,Part-time 男同事已經離開了收銀處,文具部副手在收處用對講機趾高氣揚說︰「同事係咪聽唔到 Walkie,用不用Check下個耳線有沒有壞,快關門了,仍未埋數。」大概 8:43pm,我完成工作返回收銀處,文具部副手即走。我就在對講機說︰「是不是要我一個人埋兩部收銀機?」上級便出來幫忙。要注意的是,當天店長休假。

那位文具部副手,是別店資深員工介紹進入本店工作,入職時是做主責收銀(主收),她迫走了上一位文具部副手,之後連副收也不用做。她的工作是點貨、包裝、打價及陳列,來了一年多,採購單不懂出都算,退單也不願學怎樣做。她平時邊工作邊聊天,勾幫結派。對於這些城府極深的人,恥與為伍。
