你好，歡迎你的到來。我是鳳超，你身邊的高效人生教練，學好時間管理和精力管理，過超然人生！
Making changes that endure, we have found, is a three-step process that we call Purpose-Truth-Action. All three are necessary and none is sufficient by itself.
我們發現一個可以讓該改變持久的3個步驟，我們稱之為目標-真相-行動，三者缺一不可！
The first step in our change process is to Define Purpose. In the face of our habitual behaviors and our instinct to preserve the status quo, we need inspiration to make changes in our lives. Our first challenge is to answer the question “How should I spend my energy in a way that is consistent with my deepest values?” The consequence of living our lives at warp speed is that we rarely take the time to reflect on what we value most deeply or to keep these priorities front and center. Most of us spend more time reacting to immediate crises and responding to the expectations of others than we do making considered choices guided by a clear sense of what matters most.
改變的第一步是明確目標。面對習慣性行為和喜歡維持現狀的本性，我們需要啟發才能在生活中做出改變。改變的第一個挑戰是回答“如何根據自己最深層的價值觀安排精力分配”？我們生活沒有按照預期發展是因為我們很少花時間反思我們的價值觀或也不愿意把相關的事情放在首要或中心位置。大部分人忙于應對當下的危機和回應別人的期望了，而不是根據重要性（價值觀）來進行理性選擇！
In the purpose stage, our goal is to help clients to surface and articulate the most important values in their lives and to define a vision for themselves, both personally and professionally. Connecting to a deep set of values and creating a compelling vision fuels a uniquely high-octane source of energy for change. It also serves as a compass for navigating the storms that inevitably arise in our lives.
在定義目標階段，我們的目標是幫助客戶梳理他們生命中最重要的價值觀，幫助它們個人和職業愿景。這兩者的結合為改變提供強有力精力來源，也如羅盤一樣引領我們走出生命中不可避免的暴風雨。
It is impossible to chart a course of change until you are able to look honestly at who you are today. In the next stage of our process, Face the Truth, the first question we ask clients is “How are you spending your energy now?” Each of us finds ways to avoid the most unpleasant and discomfiting truths in our lives. We regularly underestimate the consequences of our energy management choices, failing to honestly acknowledge the foods we are eating; how much alcohol we are consuming; what quality of energy we are investing in our relationships with our bosses, colleagues, spouses and children; and how focused and passionate we really are at work. Too often, we view our lives through rose-colored glasses, painting ourselves as victims, or simply denying to ourselves that the choices we are making are having a consequential impact on the quantity, quality, force and focus of our energy.
只有認清現狀才可能進行改變！改變的第二步是面對真相。我們問客戶的第一個問題是“你現在是如何花費精力的？" 想盡辦法避免生活中不愉悅或令人不愉快的真相是人的天性。我們通常低估精力管理方式（選擇）所帶來的后果，不能坦然承認所吃的食物；飲用了多少酒精；在維持與老板、同事、配偶和孩子關系中所投入的精力；對工作專注和熱情的程度。太多情況下，我們是用有色眼鏡來看自己的生活，把自己描述成受害者，或者只是簡單粗暴地拒絕承認我們的選擇對精力數量、質量、力量和專注力所造成深刻影響。
Facing the truth begins with gathering credible data. When clients come to us, we take them through a variety of physical tests, carefully assess their diets, and give them a detailed questionnaire designed to measure precisely how they are managing their energy physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We also have five of their closest colleagues fill out a similar questionnaire. All of this data give us a clear picture of their current energy capacity and the obstacles that stand in the way of full engagement.
直面真相需要從收集可信的數據開始。當客戶來訪時，我們會對他們進行一系列的體能測試，嚴謹地評估其飲食，進行詳細的調查問卷測評其如何在體能、情感、專注力和目標感方面的精力管理。我們也會讓其5個交往最密切的同事一個類似的調查問卷。所有的數據會給我們清晰了解其現在精力能力和全情投入所遇到的障礙。
The third step in your change process is to Take Action to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be—between how you manage your energy now and how you want to manage your energy to achieve whatever mission you are on.
改變的第三步是采取行動。用實際行動縮短“現實的你”和“理想中的你”、“現在的精力管理方式”和“理想的精力方式”之間的差距？
This step involves building a personal-development plan grounded in positive energy rituals. Some of our existing habits serve us well, but others are more expedient. They help us get through the day, but take a long-term toll on our performance, health and happiness. Examples include relying on junk food for bursts of energy; smoking or drinking to manage anxiety; furiously multitasking to meet demands; setting aside more challenging, long-term projects in favor of what feels immediately pressing and easier to accomplish, and devoting little energy to personal relationships. The costs of these choices and many others only show up over time.
這步驟中需要建立以積極精力儀式習慣為基礎的個人發展計劃。現有的某些習慣是有利的，但另外一些習慣是為了滿足應急。這些應急習慣可以幫助我們度過短暫的一天，但長期來看，這對我們的效能、健康和幸福有極大的損害作用！例如，吃垃圾食品獲得精力的瞬間提升；通過抽煙喝酒來管理焦慮；同時一心多用，同時進行多任務滿足需求；忽視更具挑戰性、長期的項目，喜歡更多緊急和容易完成的，對人際關系精力投入很少！這些選擇的代價（惡果）會隨著時間的流失慢慢顯現出來！
But just as negative habits and routines in our lives can be undermining and destructive, so positive ones can be uplifting and revitalizing. It is possible to build and sustain energy in all dimensions of our lives rather than watching passively as our capacities slowly diminish with age. Building rituals requires defining very precise behaviors and performing them at very specific times—motivated by deeply held values. As Aristotle said: “We are what we repeatedly do.”
壞習慣和日常行為具有侵蝕性和破壞性，好習慣具有提升和復蘇作用，煥發出新狀態。在生活中建立和維持各維度的精力充沛是可能的，而不是眼睜睜被動地看著我們的精力隨著年齡增加而慢慢衰退下去。正如亞里士多德所說，“我們重復的行為鑄造了我們” 。
我的思考My Thinking
很多人總是無法做出有效改變，今天這里有一個很好的改變三部曲：目標-真相-行動！
Many people can't make effective and enduring changes and there's a 3-step process: Purpose-Truth-Action!
目標Purpose
人一般知道自己不想要什么：我不想貧窮、我不想被限制，但卻不知道自己想要什么，太多人籠統說，我想要平衡而自由的人生，我想要財富自由，我想要幸福！這些都是很感性的想法，為此采取的行動基本不會持久，畢竟沒有想清楚自己需要什么！清晰的目標往往來自我們的價值觀，而價值觀就是解決什么最重要的問題。這也是是精力管理最高層目標感的維度，邏輯關系如下：價值觀→目標→行動！
People are clear about of what they don't want: I don't want to be poor, I don't want be constrained, but never know what they really want. Many people say ambiguously, like I want balanced and free life, i want Financial Freedom, I want happiness, and these are emotional expressions and actions based on will not endure as they are not really clear about what they want! Clear and specific purposes rooted from our deep values which to tell what's the most important. This also belongs to the highest level of the four dimensions of Energy Management. The logic is: Values → Purpose → Actions.
真相Truth
所謂的真相就是真實的現狀。逃避真相是人的本性，畢竟真相會讓人不舒服！人也傾向于高估自己的能力，比如我決定每天中英文打卡，看似很簡單，但每天花至少要花2個小時，假如遇到突發情況，這2小時就沒法保證了!；另外一個很好的例子，要減肥的人通常被要求記錄一切吃的（沒有記錄就沒有發生），但這是個很大的挑戰，很多時候吃東西是無意識的，吃了也不記得了！
Truth is the real current situation. Avoiding unpleasant and discomfiting truths in our lives is human nature. People tend to overestimate their capability, take myself as one example, I plan to share Energy Management everyday bilingually which seems simple, but it takes at least 2 hours which can't be guaranteed when there's an emergency. The other example, the weight controller is usually required to record every bit of foods they had which is challenging as many are aware of what they ate!
了解真相必須從收集數據開始。書中很好的解決方案是本人測評、本人和5位同事填寫調查表。
To know the truth starts with collecting data. There are quiz, questionnaire are provided in this book.
行動Action
再完美的計劃不行動也也只是空想而已。行動是落地的唯一方式，也是縮小理想和現實差距的唯一方式。行動的目的是為讓我們養成良好的精力儀式習慣，這會讓我們獲得各維度的充沛精力，也會大大減少精力隨著年齡增而衰退的速度。
Action makes the plan come and is the only way that brings dreams into reality. Action is to culture the positive rituals of Energy Management which enables us to have strong energy in all dimensions in our lives and slowing down the diminishing speed as we're aging.
