However, I have come to realize that by spending all my time on the details, I'm not making the best use of my time. According to the 80/20 principle, 80% of the results we can achieve comes from 20% of our actions. In trying to achieve the remaining 20% to get the perfect 100% outcome, we have to spend 80% more effort!
但终究我却意识到,我确实在这些小细节上十分用心,可是我并没有最好地利用时间。根据80/20原则,80%的结果得益于20%的时间。为了得到最后的20%结果以达到完美的100%,我们必须要耗费80%这么多的努力!
Some of us may think that we should do everything to achieve the best outcome. While I agree with this, it fails to hold true outside of certain situational contexts. For example, while it may be gratifying to get the best picture for each blog article, the extra time spent looking for that best picture prevents me from working on higher value tasks, such as writing new books or creating new challenges for my readers. It goes without saying that one hour spent on the latter adds more value than one hour spent looking for a picture.
有些人也许觉得我们应该竭尽全力以达到最好的目标。我虽然也赞同这一点,可是这点在某些情况下并不奏效。比如说,虽然为每篇博客配一张完美的图确实令人庆幸,可是为了这而花费的时间却阻止了我做更大价值的工作,比如写一本新书或者为我的读者带来更多的挑战。后者的价值要高于寻找一张图片,这点不言而喻。
