新系列預告:《簡化的力量》Ideamoo共筆部落格 » 车东's shared items in Google Reader

現在要說的《簡化的力量》,靈感來自於今年年中開始發售的一本書,叫做《少做一點不會死!》。這本書的作者是Leo Babauta。

Leo Babauta是誰?以及他的這本書寫了什麼呢?在此奉上摘自書中的簡介:

Leo Babauta現居關島,擁有六個孩子,是個作家,也是個素食主義者。作者在一年半前成立「禪習慣」部落格,忠實記錄他如何利用少的力量,達成自我目標、健康養生和簡單幸福生活的歷程。不到半年,「禪習慣」越劇全球熱門部落格前五十名,超過十萬人閱,且平均每個月點閱率將近兩百萬次。

那麼,自從他開始運用「少的力量」之后,他達成了什麼目標呢?

1.以慢跑為榮
2.開始健康飲食
3.變得有條理且產能高
4.受訓參加二次馬拉松
5.從事二份工作,薪水加倍
6.成為早起的鳥兒
7.開始吃素
8.參加二次鐵人三項全能賽
9.成功經營部落格「禪習慣」(Zen Habits)
10.順利還清債務
11.存到人生第一筆急難基金
12.簡化我(Leo Babauta)的生活
13.整頓家中不必要的雜物
14.減掉近二十公斤的體重
15.寫了二本暢銷電子書
16.完成首部創作小說書稿
17.辭去工作,在家自行創業
18.成功經營第二個部落格「寫以致用」(Write To Done),以作家為主要讀者群
19.出版本書

看見前面這份長長的清單,Yibie只能說「少的力量」威力果然巨大,竟然讓一個人產生了如此巨大的變化!

對「現狀」的不滿,是人想尋求「改變現狀」的源泉。但是,怎樣改變才讓人變得更好,而不是變得更差呢?

比如說,為了能應付工作帶來的巨大壓力,我學會了抽菸,藉由尼古丁帶來的那一瞬的迷醉感來逃避壓力。但是,抽菸是應對壓力的種種方法中,最不好的一個。雖然抽菸能夠在瞬時間內抗壓,但抽菸只能讓人在瞬時間感到解脫,抽完菸之后,壓力仍然存在。其次,抽菸讓人付出健康上的代價,這個代價比之抽菸所能帶來的那一瞬的解脫感,實在是無法相比。

生存在這個世界上,每個人都希望自己過得更好,而不是過得更差。如果抽菸讓我們的生活品質下降了,而且它還不能讓我們從不滿的現狀中獲得真正的解脫,它還能是改變我們生活的好方法嗎?

自然不是。

所以,我想,改變生活雖然總是迫在眉睫,但是我們不能操之過急。找對方法,有時候比莽莽撞撞的行動,來得重要。

而我覺得Leo Babauta給出了一個很好的方法,通過這個方法,我們既能改變現狀,又能提升生活品質。

而這個方法的核心,就是「少」,我認為將「少」這個字代換為「簡化」這兩個字,應該更容易讓人接受。

在寫完《深入淺出談GTD》之后,Yibie 決意以《少做一點不會死!》這本書裡面所說的方法為藍本,一步一步的去改變自己的生活,希望不但能提高產能,解脫壓力,還能提升生活的品質。

而 Yibie 也打算仿照 Leo Babauta 的做法,在部落格上記錄自己運用「簡化的力量」改變生活的過程。

因此,新系列文章專題的名字就是,《簡化的力量》。

由于是與自己的生活息息相關,所以字裡行間不免瑣碎,但希望自己的記錄能夠獲得大家的支持,也希望這些記錄能夠引起大家的共鳴,交流更多更好的想法。
