系统学是一门非常美妙的学问。当我们从一个系统的角度来观察,我们不仅可以看到各个零部件本身,也可以看到他们的相互影响,以至于整个系统总体的运作。同样的,我们生活中也充满了各种系统。比如 Jack Raines 之前一直在旅行中,为了保证电子报的按期更新,他有一套自己的写作系统;为了读更多的书,Hannah Rose 建议我们自己的阅读系统,比如安排固定时间,随身携带一本书等等。当我们用热力系统的角度来观察我们的效率,那么我们就不太会再苛责自己了,毕竟一般引擎的效率只有35%,我们的生产力也不可能达到100%的效率。

系统学的入门读物里,Thinking in Systems 是一本非常易懂的书,非常推荐。

对了,我们最近还探讨了学习英文的重要性

英语作为事实上的通用语言 (de facto lingua franca),在这个世界上有极大的通行度:

  2. 几乎去所有地方都有人能说英语
  3. 学习英语能让你接触到第一手资讯,不再被二手资讯污染

Recap

Devon Zuegel 在学习热力学时,得知一般的引擎只能把35%的能量转换成动力,她后来发现人们的生产力也遵循类似的规律:

  1. 我们每天只有很小的一部分时间有真正的产出;
  2. 几乎所有人都是类似,而很多产出到最后又是无用功;
  3. 即使效率再高,人也不能长时间保持高产出,因为那样会导致 burnout;
  4. 你可以追求高效的生产力,但是无法达到时也不要太沮丧。
