Stop being too obsessed with productivity.
別再過(guò)于迷信產(chǎn)出率了。
The productivity of a worker is rather important.
一個(gè)職場(chǎng)人的產(chǎn)出率是挺重要的。
The amount of work you do says something about your ability, but only in a limited way.
你完成的工作量可以說(shuō)明你的能力,不過(guò)它的程度很有限。
Besides, comparing two people’s ability simply by the amount of work they do is really not a smart way.
而且,光以工作量的多少來(lái)比較兩個(gè)人的能力,真的是一種低端的比較方式。
Such value is used to judge the assembly line workers in the industrial age, and it is obviously inappropriate to judge today's brain workers.
這種價(jià)值觀是在工業(yè)時(shí)代用來(lái)評(píng)判流水線工人的,現(xiàn)在拿來(lái)評(píng)判腦力勞動(dòng)者顯然不合適。
If you think about how to do more work every day, your mindset will become increasingly fixed, and your ability to solve open problems will get worse over time.
如果你每天的思考重心都是怎樣做出更多的活,你的大腦就會(huì)越來(lái)越機(jī)械化,久而久之你解決開(kāi)放性問(wèn)題的能力就會(huì)越來(lái)越差。
Moreover, this way of working will take up your time when you should be making strategic planning. Instead, you are only trying to become a better-functioning part of a machine, which is definitely not good for your long-term career development.
況且,這樣的工作方式會(huì)讓你無(wú)暇做戰(zhàn)略性的規(guī)劃,你只是在努力成為一個(gè)更好用的零件,這對(duì)你長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的職業(yè)發(fā)展肯定是不利的。
