我还发现了另一个跟踪进步的方法。当我给“快乐计划”一书起草时(警告:自我推销--该书将于明年一月出版),我有一大堆自己制作的打印本。几乎全部都是在电脑上进行,但是隔一段时间,我必须要读一读纸质本--不知怎么地,字印刷在一页纸上就是不一样。有一叠逐渐发展下的手稿是一个通过视觉方式提醒自己自己从一开始已经进行到了什么程度的方法。
As the photo here shows, the pile was also fairly unattractive, so after taking this picture I rewarded myself for completing the copy-edited version by tossing the entire stack. Now, in a reversal, the absence of the pile is a different sign of progress.
正如上边图片现实,这一堆看上去十分没魅力,所以,在拍完后,为了庆祝完成了书稿版,将这一堆都丢了。现在,反过来,没有这一堆成了展现出进步的另一个不同的标记。
Keeping track of progress can help deter you from doing things you don’t want to do – for example, snacking mindlessly. In Brian Wansink’s fascinating book Mindless Eating, he describes an experiment where students were served free chicken wings while they watched the Super Bowl. When the tables were bussed so that people had a clean table in front of them and no evidence to remind them of how much they’d eaten, they ate 28% more chicken wings than the people did when the leftover bones were left piled in front of them. A friend applied this strategy herself. She is a big candy fan, and for a week, after she ate candy, she saved the wrapper in her purse. At the end of the week, she was horrified by the number of wrappers she’d accumulated, and she was inspired to cut back on her candy consumption.
