Daily Productive Sharing 1154 - Pay for Twice

One helpful tip per day:)

When we purchase an item, we actually pay twice: the first payment is monetary, and the second payment is with our time when we use it. David Cain emphasizes the importance of focusing on the second payment:

  1. To truly benefit from something, you must pay the second price, which can often be much higher than the first.
  2. The first price only brings returns once the second price is paid.
  3. Paying only the first price is essentially the same as throwing money away.
  4. No matter how many cool things you acquire, you don’t gain additional time or energy to pay their second prices.
  5. In the pursuit of fulfillment, we continuously pay first prices, leading to an overwhelming debt of unpaid second prices.
  6. To avoid unnecessary first prices, align your lifestyle around paying certain second prices.
  7. Although paying the second price might sound unpleasant, it’s a process you can gradually develop a taste for. Once you do, the experience becomes invigorating.

当我们购买一件物品时,其实需要支付两次,第一次是购买时用金钱支付,第二次是使用时用时间支付。David Cain 强调我们更需要关注第二次支付:

  1. 为了真正利用一件事物,你必须支付第二种代价,而这个代价可能远高于第一种代价;
  2. 只有当你支付了第二种代价时,第一种代价才能看到回报;
  3. 只支付第一种代价,就等同于把钱扔进垃圾桶;
  4. 无论你获得多少酷炫的东西,你都不会因此拥有更多的时间或精力来支付它们的第二种代价;
  5. 在追求满足感的过程中,我们不断支付第一种代价,导致了相应巨大的第二种代价债务;
  6. 为了避免不必要的第一种代价,请将你的生活方式围绕第二种代价来调整;
  7. 支付第二种代价,尽管听起来令人不悦,却是一种可以慢慢培养兴趣的过程。当你适应了它,这种体验是令人振奋的。
