如何在你重视的事情上做的更好TED英语演讲

参考资料，少熬夜！如何在你重视的事情上做的更好TED英语演讲我们大多数人一生都在尽力做好我们所做的任何事情，无论是工作、家庭、学校还是其他任何事情。我有这种感觉。我尽力了。但是不久前，我意识到我并没有在我最关心的事情上变得更好，不管是做一个丈夫，一个朋友，一个专业人士还是一个队友，我并没有在这些事情上有很大的进步，尽管我花了很多时间在这些事情上努力。从我的谈话和研究中，我意识到，尽管努力工作，但这种停滞是相当普遍的。大多数人在生活中都会尝试把每件事做到最好，无论是在职场上、家庭、学校或其它领域。我也有同感，也会努力尝试。但前一段时间，我开始意识到，我总是无法在自己最在意的事情上做得更好。比如做一个好丈夫或好朋友，一名专业人士或好队友，我一直无法在这些事情上有很大的提升，哪怕我花了很多时间努力完成。我之后在与他人的谈话和研究中意识到，无论你多努力，这种瓶颈总是一直出现。SoI’dliketosharewithyousomeinsightsintowhythatisandwhatwecanalldoaboutit.WhatI’velearnedisthatthemosteffectivepeopleandteamsinanydomaindosomethingwecanallemulate.Theygothroughlifedeliberatelyalternatingbetweentwozones:thelearningzoneandtheperformancezone.所以我想跟各位分享一些见解，并提出一些解决的办法。我所了解的是，无论哪个领域，各行业的佼佼者都有可以让我们仿效的地方。我发现，他们在日常生活中会有意识地在这两种状态中切换，学习状态和执行状态，Thelearningzoneiswhenourgoalistoimprove.Thenwedoactivitiesdesignedforimprovement,concentratingonwhatwehaven’tmasteredyet,whichmeanswehavetoexpecttomakemistakes,knowingthatwewilllearnfromthem.Thatisverydifferentfromwhatwedowhenwe’reinourperformancezone,whichiswhenourgoalistodosomethingasbestaswecan,toexecute.Thenweconcentrateonwhatwehavealreadymasteredandwetrytominimizemistakes.在学习状态，我们的技能可以进步。我们会透过设计过的活动来提升技能。专注于尚未掌握的事情，这意味着我们一定会有失误，但我们也一定能从中学到东西。这跟我们执行状态时所做的事情很不一样，执行状态的目的是把我们最好的一面表现出来。我们会专注在已经掌握好的技能，并把失误减到最小。Bothofthesezonesshouldbepartofourlives,butbeingclearaboutwhenwewanttobeineachofthem,withwhatgoal,focusandexpectations,helpsusbetter参考资料，少熬夜！performandbetterimprove.Theperformancezonemaximizesourimmediateperformance,whilethelearningzonemaximizesourgrowthandourfutureperformance.Thereasonmanyofusdon’timprovemuchdespiteourhardworkisthatwetendtospendalmostallofourtimeintheperformancezone.Thishindersourgrowth,andironically,overthelongterm,alsoourperformance.这两种状态都是我们生活的一部分，但当你想要自在的处在这两种状态，你得清楚知道你的目标、关注点、预期效果是什么，这样才能帮助你在执行和改进方面都做得更好。执行状态注重当下的表现，学习状态会加速人的成长，并且提升未来的表现。很多人，无论如何努力都没办法有所提高。原因在于：我们总是花费太多时间在执行状态。这样会阻碍成长。讽刺的是，长时间下来，也会引响我们的表现。Sowhatdoesthelearningzonelooklike?TakeDemosthenes,apoliticalleaderandthegreatestoratorandlawyerinancientGreece.Tobecomegreat,hedidn’tspendallhistimejustbeinganoratororalawyer,whichwouldbehisperformancezone.Butinstead,hedidactivitiesdesignedforimprovement.Ofcourse,hestudiedalot.Hestudiedlawandphilosophywithguidancefrommentors,buthealsorealizedthatbeingalawyerinvolvedpersuadingotherpeople,sohealsostudiedgreatspeechesandacting.Togetridofanoddhabithehadofinvoluntarilyliftinghisshoulder,hepracticedhisspeechesinfrontofamirror,andhesuspendedaswordfromtheceilingsothatifheraisedhisshoulder,itwouldhurt.那麽，学习状态是怎样的情况?来看看狄摩西尼，这位政治领袖，古希腊最伟大的演说家和律师。他会伟大的原因，不是因为他把时间都花在演说和执行律师业务上面，也就是说他不会一直处在执行状态。相反的，他做了很多改善的活动。毋庸置疑，他花很多时间在学习。比如他在精神导师的指导下学习法律及哲学，但他也同时意识到，作为律师他需要说服别人，所以他也研究名人的演讲及学习演戏。为了改变不由自主耸肩的坏习惯，他会在镜子前练习演说，并且在天花板上吊一把剑。一旦耸肩，他就会被刺到。(Laughter)(观众笑)Tospeakmoreclearlydespitealisp,hewentthroughhisspeecheswithstonesinhismouth.Hebuiltanundergroundroomwherehecouldpracticewithoutinterruptionsandnotdisturbotherpeople.Andsincecourtsatthetimewereverynoisy,healsopracticedbytheocean,projectinghisvoiceabovetheroarofthe参考资料，少熬夜！waves.为了克服口齿不清，他会含着石头练习演讲。他还建了一个地下室，以避免练习时被打扰或打扰到别人。因为上法院时会很吵，所以他就对着大海练习，让自己的声音比咆哮的海浪还大声。Hisactivitiesinthelearningzonewereverydifferentfromhisactivitiesincourt,hisperformancezone.Inthelearningzone,hedidwhatDr.AndersEricssoncallsdeliberatepractice.Thisinvolvesbreakingdownabilitiesintocomponentskills,beingclearaboutwhatsubskillwe’reworkingtoimprove,likekeepingourshouldersdown,givingfullconcentrationtoahighlevelofchallengeoutsideourcomfortzone,justbeyondwhatwecancurrentlydo,usingfrequentfeedbackwithrepetitionandadjustments,andideallyengagingtheguidanceofaskilledcoach,becauseactivitiesdesignedforimprovementaredomain-specific,andgreatteachersandcoachesknowwhatthoseactivitiesareandcanalsogiveusexpertfeedback.Itisthistypeofpracticeinthelearningzonewhichleadstosubstantialimprovement,notjusttimeontaskperforming.Forexample,researchshowsthatafterthefirstcoupleofyearsworkinginaprofession,performanceusuallyplateaus.Thishasbeenshowntobetrueinteaching,generalmedicine,nursingandotherfields,andithappensbecauseoncewethinkwehavebecomegoodenough,adequate,thenwestopspendingtimeinthelearningzone.Wefocusallourtimeonjustdoingourjob,performing,whichturnsoutnottobeagreatwaytoimprove.Butthepeoplewhocontinuetospendtimeinthelearningzonedocontinuetoalwaysimprove.Thebestsalespeopleatleastonceaweekdoactivitieswiththegoalofimprovement.Theyreadtoextendtheirknowledge,consultwithcolleaguesordomainexperts,tryoutnewstrategies,solicitfeedbackandreflect.Thebestchessplayersspendalotoftimenotplayinggamesofchess,whichwouldbetheirperformancezone,buttryingtopredictthemovesgrandmastersmadeandanalyzingthem.Eachofushasprobablyspentmany,many,manyhourstypingonacomputerwithoutgettingfaster,butifwespent10to20minuteseachdayfullyconcentratingontyping10to20percentfasterthanourcurrentreliablespeed,wewouldgetfaster,especiallyifwealsoidentifiedwhatmistakeswe’remakingandpracticedtypingthosewords.That’sdeliberatepractice.参考资料，少熬夜！他在学习状态所做的活动与他在法院上执行的活动，两者是很不一样的。他在学习状态时，会做安德森·爱立信博士所说的「循序渐进的练习」。就是把要学习的技能拆分成一小段一小段的技能，并且清楚
