Four Thousand Weeks: Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count. (English Edition)
The world is bursting with wonder,
メモ世界は驚きで満ち溢れている
The challenge would be how to fill all our new-found
leisure time without going crazy.
メモ
Using these techniques often made me feel as if I were on
the verge of ushering in a golden era of calm, undistracted
productivity and meaningful activity. But it never arrived.
Instead, I just got more stressed and unhappy.
メモ
The details differ from person to person, but the kernel is
the same.
メモ
It’s also painful to accept your limited control over
the time you do get: maybe you simply lack the stamina or
talent or other resources to perform well in all the roles
you feel you should.
メモ
Richard Bach: ‘You teach best what you most need to
learn.’
メモ
limit-embracing life,
メモ
We would be forced to acknowledge that there are hard
choices to be made: which balls to let drop, which people to
disappoint, which cherished ambitions to abandon, which
roles to fail at.
メモ
It’s that the underlying assumption is unwarranted:
there’s no reason to believe you’ll ever feel
‘on top of things’, or make time for everything
that matters, simply by getting more done.
メモ沢山タスクを終わらせても満足するという保障は無い
‘Work expands so as to fill the time available for
its completion,’ the English humorist and historian C.
Northcote Parkinson wrote in 1955, coining what became known
as Parkinson’s law.
メモパーキンソンの法則
the goalpost-shifting effect
メモ
you’re no longer making your peace of mind dependent
on dealing with all the demands.
メモ平穏を得る方法が、沢山タスクを終わらせる事で無くなる。依存しなくなる。
You begin to grasp that when there’s too much to do,
and there always will be, the only route to psychological
freedom is to let go of the limit-denying fantasy of getting
it all done and instead to focus on doing a few things that
count.
メモ
the efficiency trap were a simple matter of quantity: you
have too much to do, so you try to fit more in, but the
ironic result is that you end up with more to do.
メモ
it grew painfully clear that the things I got done most
diligently were the unimportant ones, while the important
ones got postponed
メモ重要でないタスクを終わらせて、
大事なタスクをどんどん後回しにしていた
大事なタスクをどんどん後回しにしていた
willingness to resist such urges – to learn to stay
with the anxiety of feeling overwhelmed, of not being on top
of everything,
メモ
you get to focus on fully enjoying the tiny slice of
experiences you actually do have time for –
メモ出来ないことは諦めて、目の前の重要な事に心から集中する
But smoothness, it turns out, is a dubious virtue, since
it’s often the unsmoothed textures of life that make
it liveable, helping nurture the relationships that are
crucial for mental and physical health, and for the
resilience of our communities.
メモ
Every morning I carefully scrape out the ash of
yesterday.11.. As I lay the kindling and listen for the
crackling of wood devouring flame, I wait. The house is
cool, and all I have to do now for the next few minutes is
be attentive and patient.
メモ
‘Heaven: Will It Be Boring?’
メモ永遠の時間を過ごすのは退屈ではないだろうか
the point isn’t to eradicate procrastination, but to
choose more wisely what you’re going to procrastinate
on, in order to focus on what matters most.
メモ
the only way to be sure it will happen is to do some of it
today, no matter how little, and no matter how many other
genuinely big rocks may be begging for your attention.
メモとにかく少しでもやれ、如何に周りが注意を引こうとしていても。
Abel saw that her only viable option was to claim time
instead – to just start drawing, for an hour or two,
every day, and to accept the consequences, even if those
included neglecting other activities she sincerely
valued.
メモ
to work on your most important project for the first hour
of each day, and to protect your time by scheduling
‘meetings’ with yourself, marking them in your
calendar so that other commitments can’t
intrude.
メモ
Personal Kanban,
メモ
You need to learn how to start saying no to things you do
want to do, with the recognition that you have only one
life.’
メモ自分のしたい事にノーご言うのは難しい
grandeur
メモ
if you’re procrastinating on something because
you’re worried you won’t do a good enough job,
you can relax – because judged by the flawless
standards of your imagination, you definitely won’t do
a good enough job. So you might as well make a start.
メモ
social media increasingly became a matter of
‘doomscrolling’ in a depressive daze through
bottomless feeds of bad news
メモ
drag-down-to-refresh gesture, which keeps people scrolling
by exploiting a phenomenon known as ‘variable
rewards’: when you can’t predict whether or not
refreshing the screen will bring new posts to read, the
uncertainty makes you more likely to keep trying, again and
again and again, just as you would on a slot machine.
メモ
When he stopped trying to block out those sensations and
attended to them instead, the discomfort would
evaporate.
メモ苦しみを避けるのではなく逆に集中すると辛さが和らぐ
It’s true that killing time on the internet often
doesn’t feel especially fun, these days. But it
doesn’t need to feel fun. In order to dull the pain of
finitude, it just needs to make you feel
unconstrained.
メモ時間をネットで潰すのは楽しくはないが、辛さからは解放してくれる
digital detoxes, personal rules about when you’ll
allow yourself to check your inbox, and so forth –
rarely work,
メモ上手く行かない
Even if you quit Facebook, or ban yourself from social
media during the workday, or exile yourself to a cabin in
the mountains, you’ll probably still find it
unpleasantly constraining to focus on what matters, so
you’ll find some way to relieve the pain by
distracting yourself: by daydreaming, taking an unnecessary
nap, or – the preferred option of the productivity
geek – redesigning your to-do list and reorganising
your desk.
メモネットを制限しても、結局別のことで気を紛らわすので効果が無い
to accept that this unpleasantness is simply what it feels
like for finite humans to commit ourselves to the kinds of
demanding and valuable tasks that force us to confront our
limited control over how our lives unfold.
メモ気を紛らせたくなる衝動からは、物事に取り組む限りは逃げられない。受け入れるしかない。
The way to find peaceful absorption in a difficult project,
or a boring Sunday afternoon, isn’t to chase feelings
of peace or absorption, but to acknowledge the inevitability
of discomfort, and to turn more of your attention to the
reality of your situation than to railing against it.
メモ不快感や退屈さを感じた時、それから逸らそうとするのではなく、受け入れ感じることで、むしろ和らぐ。Young氏が体験した禅の修行のように。
Zen Buddhists hold that the entirety of human suffering can
be boiled down to this effort to resist paying full
attention to the way things are going, because we wish they
were going differently (‘This shouldn’t be
happening!’7), or because we wish we felt more in
control of the process.
メモ
‘Hofstadter’s law’, which states that any
task you’re planning to tackle will always take longer
than you expect,
メモ
So a surprisingly effective antidote to anxiety can be to
simply realise that this demand for reassurance from the
future is one that will definitely never be satisfied
– no matter how much you plan or fret, or how much
extra time you leave to get to the airport.
メモ
The problem is one of instrumentalisation.
メモ
This future-focused attitude often takes the form of what I
once heard described as the
‘“when-I-finally” mind’, as in:
‘When I finally get my workload under control/get my
candidate elected/find the right romantic partner/sort out
my psychological issues, then I can relax, and the life I
was always meant to be living can begin.’
メモもし終わったら…と考える癖
so the present moment won’t ever feel satisfying in
itself.
メモ自分もだ…
who nonetheless finds herself treating every moment of her
experience as worthwhile only in terms of bringing her
closer to the completion of a project, so that she can move
on to the next one, or move up the ranks, or move towards
retirement.
メモずっと未来に生きてる。夢の職にありつけても尚。
future-chasing mindset.
メモ未来を追いかけるマインドセット
my son was here now, and he would be zero years old for
only one year, and I came to realise that I didn’t
want to squander these days of his actual existence by
focusing solely on how best to use them for the sake of his
future one.
メモ零歳の息子はイマココにいる
‘But a child’s purpose is to be a child. Nature
doesn’t disdain what only lives for a day.
メモ子供の目的は子供であること
It pours the whole of itself into each moment …
Life’s bounty is in its flow. Later is too
late.’
メモ瞬間瞬間に価値は流れる。後になってからでは遅い
Harris’s point is that we should therefore try to
treat every such experience with the reverence we’d
show if it were the final instance of it.
メモ全ての体験を最後だと思って受けとる
To treat all these moments solely as stepping stones to
some future moment is to demonstrate a level of
obliviousness to our real situation that would be
jaw-dropping if it weren’t for the fact that we all do
it, all the time.
メモ時間を未来へのステップに使い過ぎると後にんって愕然とするだろう
One way of understanding capitalism, in fact, is as a giant
machine for instrumentalising everything it encounters
– the earth’s resources, your time and abilities
(or ‘human resources’) – in the service of
future profit.
メモキャピタリズムは全てを材料として取り扱う
rich people in capitalist economies are often surprisingly
miserable.
メモ
in focusing so hard on instrumentalising their time, they
end up treating their lives in the present moment as nothing
but a vehicle in which to travel towards a future state of
happiness. And so their days are sapped of meaning, even as
their bank balances increase.
メモ
By trying too hard to make the most of his time, he misses
his life.
メモ
Living more fully in the present may be simply a matter of
finally realising that you never had any other option but to
be here now.
メモ今に集中するという事は、今以外に選択肢が無いという事に気付くことである
why should we have to justify life in terms of the economy?
It makes no sense!’
メモ休みを取る理由に経済的なものがなぜ必要なのか??
It begins to feel as though you’re failing at life,
in some indistinct way, if you’re not treating your
time off as an investment in your future.
メモ余暇が将来に繋がっていると感じなければ失敗したように感じる
