當你想要做一件困難的工作，無論是準備一份簡報，或是去長跑，你很容易對自己說你需要一個有效的激勵來完成這份工作。然而，通常問題不是出在是否有這樣的激勵，而是你缺乏實際的行動。
你也許真的想要做這件事，你知道這是很重要的，但是你的頭腦卻會把你拉開。你會告訴自己你可以拖延到明天再做，或是你有更緊急的其他事要先做。
不要讓你的頭腦吞噬掉你的企圖心。做好明確的決策，想清楚你現在要做什麼，然後不要問自己為什麼。告訴自己，我明天上午6點要起床去跑步，或是我會在下週二下午2點前完成簡報。如果你的頭腦里還會有掙扎情緒，不要去理它，去做就是了。
Forget the motivation, what you need is execution
When
you want to do a difficult job, whether it's preparing a briefing or going to a
long run, it's easy to tell yourself that you need an effective incentive to do
the job. However, usually the problem is not whether there is such an
incentive, but that you lack practical action.
You
may really want to do this. You know it's important, but your mind will pull
you apart. You will tell yourself that you can put it off till tomorrow, or
that you have more urgent things to do first.
Don't
let your mind devour your intentions. Make clear decisions, think clearly about
what you are going to do now, and don't ask yourself why. Tell yourself, I have
to get up and go for a run at 6 tomorrow morning, or I will finish the briefing
by 2 p.m. next Tuesday. If you have struggles in your mind, don't ignore it and
do it.
