It’s easy to spot when people are lying to themselves—like when a co-worker confidently starts a huge project at 4:30, but has a 5 PM deadline. “Who’s he kidding?” you might chuckle. But when you’re telling lies to yourself—well, that’s another story. 指出某人在自欺欺人是十分容易的。——比方说一位同事自信满满地在4点30分开始做一个浩大的项目，但是这个任务的期限是5点。“他在开谁的玩笑呢？”你也许会这样嘲笑他。但当你自己在自欺欺人时——好吧，那就是另一种结果了。 When it comes to productivity, you may think you have it mastered. You check tasks off your to-do list, multitask like the best of them, and stay insanely busy from morning until night. But it turns out, your so-called “productivity” may actually be a jumble of popular myths that make you think you’re getting more done than you actually are. 当涉及到效率的问题时，你总是自以为把握得很好。你查看了一下你的任务清单，然后开始一心多用，从早到晚发了疯似地忙碌工作。最后你却发现，你所谓的“效率”可能事实上只是一句非常常见的，会令你错认为你真的完成了什么事儿的谎言而已，事实上你做的远没有那么多。 Lie #1: My Day’s Full of Activity, So I Must Be Super Productive 谎言#1：我一整天全是事情要做，所以我一定是个超级高效的人。 |
