自我提升|将日记作为解决问题的工具
因为365日碎片的那篇寻找人生目标，而找到了Steve Pavlina的blog，主要是以自我提升为主题的博客网站，最近在迷茫的时候就会来挑几篇文章看看，感觉还蛮有帮助的，与你们分享（顺便当做英文阅读的练习，引用下有中文解释，若你不想看英文，可直接跳过，只是粗略地翻译了一下，也请不要太计较了）。
Although many people use journals or diaries to keep a record of life events, I don’t normally bother with such entries, and I rarely even go back and read past entries. For me it’s primarily a problem solving tool, a way to think through complex decisions until I reach the point of clarity. I average about 5-10 journal entries a month, and I usually begin a new entry by typing a question or a problem I want to solve. Then I proceed to explore the possible solution space of the problem. Sometimes the problems may be very simple, such as “What topic should I select for my next speech (or article)?” But other times I explore much broader subjects, like “Where do I want to be in 2010, and what do I need to start/stop doing now in order to get there?” Sometimes I’ll just brainstorm possible solutions, while other times I’ll write about a problem from different angles to understand it more fully. For example, I might ask myself, “How would Albert Einstein solve this problem? Leonardo da Vinci? Jim Carey? Captain Picard?” Or I might ask, “What’s good about this problem? How might I avoid even needing to solve this problem? What would the optimal solution to this problem have to look like?”
