Most of us are aware that digital devices have changed our lives in the past 20 years. We frequently check messages on WeChat or Facebook or Email and spend hours a day watching short videos on Douyin or Tiktok. The Internet has made it easier for us to connect with each other, but it has also made it harder for us to concentrate on our work. We know we need to think deeply and work efficiently, but we find it harder to do than before.
这句话可以解释痛苦,假如我们不得不做我们不愿做的事,也就是我们期望做的事与实际在做的事不符时,我们感觉痛苦,或者是我们期望得到的与实际得到的不符。如果目前为止,出于实际考虑,我们认为自己无力改变现状(而非认为我们没有勇气改变现状),臣服实验提供了一个思路:不要想太多,get it done。 专心在你所做之事上,抛弃它的实际价值,dive into it,把它完成,你会把做这件事变得很熟练,你会逐渐在做这件事上精通,当它完成之时,你可以松口气说,让你心烦之事现在被解决了。
