1 How to Have the Best Year of Your Life (without Setting a Single Goal)
通过坚持一些良好的习惯以Get Things Done。
1.1 Get up early
When the world wakes up, distractions abound. If you are going to focus on creating a new life for yourself, you’ll need to find the time. The best way to do this is to work while others are sleeping.
1.2 Over-commit
You can do this, too, by saying “yes” to more things than you’re comfortable with. Learn to stretch yourself. You might be surprised by what you’re actually capable of. Your confidence will grow, too.
1.3 Talk to strangers
Relationships are what make the world go round.
1.4 Practice generosity
Give away your time, money, services, and ideas. When you do this, you will get a lot more than you give.
2 Creating Silence from Chaos
Prefer subtraction over addition.
Learn to be content with little, or nothing.
Realize that silence is beautiful.
Find yourself in the empty space that results.
Empty a room, and put almost nothing back except that which produces quiet.
Speak less, listen more, contemplate even more.
Walk in silence. Watch the leaves quiver, fall in silence, whisper in the wind.
Sit and do nothing. Listen to your mind make noise in the silence, allow it to subside.
Eschew video, iPods, books, the Internet, mobile devices, social networks, and other purveyors of noise.
Be quiet, so that life may speak.
3 The Habits That Crush Us
Pick one habit at a time. Start very small – just a minute or two, if you want it to stick. Use social motivation like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or email. Be very conscious of your triggers, and do the habit consciously every time the trigger happens. Enjoy the new habit. You’ll stick with it longer if you do.
