本文讲述了作者如何通过频繁测量和微调来提高生产力，特别是在糖尿病管理、饮食控制和时间管理方面。作者使用LoseIt和FitBit等工具进行健康追踪，以及RescueTime来监测工作时间，通过数据洞察提高效率。建议每周回顾并调整工作习惯，以减少浪费的时间。

摘要由CSDN通过智能技术生成

I was chatting with a friend recently about my recent diet and she commented that I seemed to measure everything. I realized that measurement and logging was a theme in my lifestyle, specifically as applied to productivity.

我最近正在和朋友聊天，了解我最近的饮食习惯，她评论说我似乎在衡量一切。我意识到测量和记录是我生活方式中的主题，特别是应用于生产力方面。

As a Type 1 Diabetic logging and measurement as a precursor to success is not just required, it's darn near mandatory if you to ~~live~~ succeed. I check my blood sugar as often as 10 times a day. Now that I'm also on a continuous blood sugar meter as well, I am able to measure hundreds of times a day and make small adjustments.

作为1型糖尿病的日志记录和测量为先导，以成功并不只是需要，它的织补近乎强制性的，如果你住成功。我每天检查血糖十次。现在，我也使用连续血糖仪，因此，我每天可以测量数百次，并进行一些小的调整。

It's this core idea of measure often combined with small adjustments that I believe is the hallmark of success in nearly anything one does.

我认为，正是这种核心的测量方法理念经常与微小的调整相结合，是几乎任何人都能成功的标志。

I have been dieting of late (I'll do a separate blog post on this soon) using an application called LoseIt and a pedometer/metabolic activity meter called a FitBit. These two small and inexpensive (LoseIt is free so far!) measuring devices have enabled me to lose 21 lbs in a short amount of time with minimal effort.

我一直在节食的晚期(我会尽快做这一个单独的博客文章)使用调用的应用程序LoseIt并称为计步器/代谢活动米FitBit 。这两个小巧又便宜的测量仪器(到目前为止，LoseIt是免费的！)使我能够以最少的精力在短时间内减轻21磅的重量。

The old adage is "measure twice, cut once." In the computer age, my new agile adage is "measure often, cut often."

古老的格言是“量两次，切一次”。在计算机时代，我的新敏捷格言是“经常测量，经常削减”。

One of my favorite tools for measuring personal productivity (and making adjustments) is called RescueTime. It's a little app that runs in the background and keeps track of the application running in the foreground, as well as if you're interacting with it. You can categorize applications with various levels of productivity. For example, for me, reading CNN.com is not productive, but if you're a journalist, perhaps it is very productive. You can categorize from apps down to websites, as well a ones you want it to ignore. They even have a lovely Data API that you can access programmatically and do whatever you like!

我最喜欢的用于衡量个人生产力(和进行调整)的工具之一称为RescueTime 。这是一个在后台运行的小应用程序，可跟踪在前台运行的应用程序以及与之交互的情况。您可以对各种生产力级别的应用程序进行分类。例如，对我来说，阅读CNN.com效率不高，但是如果您是一名记者，也许它会提高效率。您可以将应用程序分类为网站，也可以将其分类为网站。他们甚至还有一个可爱的Data API，您可以通过编程方式访问它并做任何您想做的事！

Once you've run RescueTime for a while, maybe a week to a month, things become VERY interesting from a data perspective. You can pivot the data any way you like, focusing on Productivity, Efficiency, or by Category. If you're an hourly worker or consultant, you can even upgrade and us it as an effective time-tracking tool.

一旦运行RescueTime了一段时间(也许是一周到一个月)，从数据角度来看，事情就会变得非常有趣。您可以按自己喜欢的任何方式透视数据，重点放在生产率，效率或按类别上。如果您是小时工或顾问，甚至可以升级并将其作为有效的时间跟踪工具使用。

Here's some examples of the kinds of insights you can get when you measure, and what you (or I, in this case) can do about it. I'll pick a random day in May, the 17th.

以下是一些示例，这些示例可用来衡量您所获得的各种见解，以及您(或本例中的我)可以做的事情。我将在5月17日随机选择一天。

There's some uncategorized data in there where I'm using an application or website that RescueTime doesn't recognize. Notice that I don't really hit my stride for Software Dev until lunch time. If I look at the week or month views, I find this to be true consistently. I'm garbage with analytical work (development) until lunch. What can I do about that? Well, I can totally avoid that kind of work in the morning. Did you realize that you can be more productive by actually avoiding work at times when you know you'll be lousy/unfocused/suboptimal? If you rock at a certain kind of work at 11pm, then well, organize your day so you can be successful that those times.

我正在使用RescueTime无法识别的应用程序或网站，那里存在一些未分类的数据。注意，直到午餐时间，我才真正踏上软件开发的步伐。如果我查看周视图或月视图，我会发现这始终如一。我在午餐之前忙于分析工作(开发)。我该怎么办？好吧，我完全可以避免早上进行这类工作。 您是否意识到当您知道自己会很糟糕/注意力不集中/次优时，实际上避免工作就可以提高工作效率？如果您在晚上11点从事某种工作，那么组织您的一天，这样您就可以在那些时候取得成功。

If I dig in on an hour, for example, noon to 1pm on this day, I can see that I was developing software (in Visual Studio) for 35min, using utilities for 10min, and googling around for a few minutes. Other distractions used up only seconds.

如果我在一个小时内(例如，今天中午至下午1点)进行挖掘，则可以看到我在Visual Studio中开发了35分钟的软件，在10分钟内使用实用程序，并在谷歌上搜索了几分钟。其他干扰只用了几秒钟。

My productive time for a single hour in May

I can dig in and categorize my programs and their relative productivity/distractedness (it's like Mint.com, do the work once, and it'll add up over time!) and that makes my reports easier to read at a macro level. You shouldn't need to spend much time doing this.

我可以对我的程序及其相对的生产率/分散性进行挖掘和分类(就像Mint.com一样，一次完成工作，随着时间的推移就会累加！)，这使我的报告在宏观一级更易于阅读。您不需要花很多时间进行此操作。

Then, once a week, during your Friday afternoon "Reflection," go look at your reports and see if you find patterns. Then, make a list of the 3 things you'll do on Monday to make your week more productive. Repeat this each week and you'll find an LEAST 4-8 hours of wasted time. I'm not saying don't read the news or go on Twitter.

然后，每周一次，在星期五下午的“反思”中，查看报告并查看是否找到模式。然后，列出您周一将要做的三件事，以使您的一周更加高效。每周重复一次，您将浪费至少4-8个小时。我并不是说不要阅读新闻或访问Twitter。

I'm saying this:

我是这样说的：

Be deliberate.
刻意
Time is finite, treat it as a resource.
时间是有限的，请将其视为资源。
Know what you're doing.
知道你在做什么。
Be aware of what the trade-offs are.
注意什么是折衷方案。
Measure everything, otherwise you have NO idea what you're doing.
衡量一切，否则您不知道自己在做什么。

If you don't profile your program, you don't know where it's spending it's time. If you don't profile yourself, you're just hanging out.

如果您不分析程序，则不知道它在哪里花费时间。如果您不对自己进行简介，那么您只是在闲逛。

Hope this helps, Dear Reader.

希望对您有所帮助，亲爱的读者。
