自我提升|将日记作为解决问题的工具(3)

By exploring problems on paper, I avoid circular thinking, and it’s also easier to identify gaps in the possible solution space that have yet to be considered.
通过在纸上探索问题，我避免了循环思考的怪圈，并且更容易识别可能的解决方案中尚未考虑的差距。一旦我从一个特定的角度写了一个问题，我就可以把这个部分放在一边休息并继续探索下一部分。
While even journaling can’t overcome the major limitations of our conscious minds to systematically consider solution spaces with millions of possibilities, writing things through is at least a step in the right direction. We still have to delegate a major part of our decision-making to our subconscious minds, to our intuition, and to our emotions. But the more of this process we can pull into our conscious minds (by using either paper or a computer screen as an extension of our consciousness), the more clarity and focus we gain in knowing that our decisions are the right ones. And in the long run, after years of exercising the mental discipline to make more conscious decisions, we reap the harvest of far greater results.
虽然日记无法克服我们有意识思维的主要局限性，无法系统地考虑具有数百万种可能性的解解决方案，但通过写东西至少是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。我们仍然必须将决策的主要部分委托给我们的潜意识，直觉和情感。但是，我们可以通过使用纸张或计算机屏幕作为我们意识的延伸，将这一过程中的更多内容吸引到我们的意识中，是我们获得更多的清晰度和重点。从长远来看，经过多年的思维训练以做出更清醒的决定，我们将收获更大的成果。
