Mike Carruthers: 本期节目探讨了提高效率和战胜大脑迷糊的方法，采访了生产力专家David Allen和心理治疗师Dr. Mike Dow。节目中涵盖了披萨数学、时间管理技巧、大脑迷糊的成因及解决方法等多个方面。 David Allen: 高效的关键在于腾出大脑空间，而不是节省时间。人脑只能同时处理大约四件事，超过这个数量会降低认知效率。大脑是一个糟糕的办公场所，需要建立外部系统来管理信息。建议建立一个有效的清单管理系统来整理和管理任务，将任务按照不同的情境进行分类，例如电话、电脑、家务等。养成定期清理收件箱的习惯，可以迫使自己做出决策。建立系统后，可以根据直觉选择任务，并享受掌控感。保持清单的整洁，可以更好地应对突发事件。高效的时间管理在于提前思考，而不是花费大量时间进行计划。养成良好的习惯可以使任务管理更容易。改变关键习惯可以带来连锁反应，改善生活效率。 Dr. Mike Dow: 大脑迷糊是一个笼统的术语，指的是大脑功能未达到最佳状态。美国人的生活方式是导致大脑迷糊的主要原因，包括不良饮食习惯、缺乏运动、压力过大、睡眠不足等。改善生活方式是解决大脑迷糊的关键，包括健康饮食、规律运动、充足睡眠、减少压力等。建议关注添加健康饮食，而不是去除不健康饮食。建议逐步改变饮食习惯，而不是一下子全部改变。建议关注积极的思维模式，避免灾难性思维。建议寻找相反的证据来对抗消极想法。社会规范会影响人们的行为，因此需要打破常规。建议制定一个社交媒体和手机断舍离计划，在一天中安排一些时间远离手机和社交媒体。改变生活方式可以带来积极的变化，让人感觉更好。 David Allen: 高效的关键在于腾出大脑空间，而不是节省时间。人脑只能同时处理大约四件事，超过这个数量会降低认知效率。大脑是一个糟糕的办公场所，需要建立外部系统来管理信息。建议建立一个有效的清单管理系统来整理和管理任务，将任务按照不同的情境进行分类，例如电话、电脑、家务等。养成定期清理收件箱的习惯，可以迫使自己做出决策。建立系统后，可以根据直觉选择任务，并享受掌控感。保持清单的整洁，可以更好地应对突发事件。高效的时间管理在于提前思考，而不是花费大量时间进行计划。养成良好的习惯可以使任务管理更容易。改变关键习惯可以带来连锁反应，改善生活效率。 Dr. Mike Dow: 大脑迷糊是一个笼统的术语，指的是大脑功能未达到最佳状态。美国人的生活方式是导致大脑迷糊的主要原因，包括不良饮食习惯、缺乏运动、压力过大、睡眠不足等。改善生活方式是解决大脑迷糊的关键，包括健康饮食、规律运动、充足睡眠、减少压力等。建议关注添加健康饮食，而不是去除不健康饮食。建议逐步改变饮食习惯，而不是一下子全部改变。建议关注积极的思维模式，避免灾难性思维。建议寻找相反的证据来对抗消极想法。社会规范会影响人们的行为，因此需要打破常规。建议制定一个社交媒体和手机断舍离计划，在一天中安排一些时间远离手机和社交媒体。改变生活方式可以带来积极的变化，让人感觉更好。

Feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list? Productivity expert David Allen shares his insights on how to achieve stress-free productivity by externalizing your thoughts and building a trusted system.

  • Externalize your thoughts and build an external brain by using lists and calendars.
  • Clarify what your work is and define the specific actions needed for each task.
