I'm working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyone's project will look different, but it’s the rare person who can't benefit. Join in -- no need to catch up, just jump in right now. Each Friday’s post will help you think about your own happiness project. 我正在进行自己的快乐计划,你也应该有一个!虽然人人不尽相同,可是极少人不从中受益。参与进来--不需要从后边赶上,只要立刻加入。每周五的帖子将帮助你思考自己的快乐计划。 One strategy that I find hugely helpful in many aspects of my life is to track my progress. Having some concrete proof of advancement gives me the gold stars I crave, and the accountability of charting my progress – or lack thereof – keeps me diligent. 在生活中许多方面帮助了我的一个策略是跟踪自己的进步。有确凿证据表明进步给我带来了渴求的“小星星”,对有了进步或缺少进步进行记录的问责制让我勤奋。 One key way I track my progress is through my Resolutions Chart. The boxes below each resolution show me where I'm making progress and where I need to work harder. 跟踪进步的一个关键是通过我的决议图。 每个决议下的格子说明我在哪些地方取得了进步,哪些地方需要再加把劲。 I’ve found other ways to keep track of progress, too. As I’ve worked on the draft of my Happiness Project book (self-promotion alert: it comes out in January), I kept a pile of all the print-outs I’ve made. I work almost exclusively on the computer, but every once in a while I have to read it in a hard copy -- somehow, words look so different printed on a page. Keeping a stack of my evolving manuscript was a way to remind myself visually of how far I’ve come since I started. |
