隔離期間的自律 #part2️⃣ Self-discipline during quarantine #english👇🏽
「艾玲，妳在家工作時如何保持紀律？」
- 密友經常問我的問題。
坦白說，我覺得世界上沒有存在任何神奇的公式可以讓你輕鬆保持動力。雖然有許多不錯的工具和技巧，但最終歸結為最重要的一個點：「你自己的一致性和實踐！」
我已自雇5年了，我只能說養一個習慣需要時間。即使在今年，我仍然有時很希望身邊可以有個老闆/指導者/同事/或家長能為我"踢一下屁股" 給我正面壓力，特別是在我離開 @surfaceapparel 的高雄辦公室並開始完全上網遠距離工作後！
但我曾經發現，我總是需要花大約3-4週的時間來適應一個新的環境或例程，而過了幾個禮拜我就會開始「流動」= 「做事有效」
通常換一個地方或作息，剛開始我都會不耐煩，以為自己一直搞砸，但此時要自我提醒：「沒關係，現在感到不舒服是應該的。變化總是混亂的，但3-4週後，你就會順」💧
信任過程，一步算一步
要變很難，但放棄並不會加快速度😉

"Eileen, how do you stay disciplined while work at home?"
I get this question a lot, especially from close friends. To be honest, there's no magic formula to stay motivated. Many great tools and tips exist, but in the end it comes down to your CONSISTENCY and PRACTICE.
I have been self-employed for 5 years, and all I can say is no habit develops over night. Even this year I had moments where I wish some boss/mentor/co-worker could kick my ass for me, especially after giving up my @surfaceapparel office and going completely online.
I noticed that I always need about 3-4 weeks to get used to a new environment/routine, until I feel efficient aka. "in tune".
Usually I'll just be frustrated and impatient in the beginning, thinking that I am screwing up, but those are the moments where I gotta remind myself : "It's ok, it's supposed to feel uncomfortable now. Change is messy, but after 3-4 weeks of getting used to is, you''ll "flow" again 💧
Trust the process and place one step at the time. It's hard, but quitting won't speed it up.
