风流总裁追妻记百度云:周六上午发动灵感引擎

Jeff Cobb  著

It’s incredibly easy to waste a lot of time on the Web by reading random blog posts, poking around on Twitter, watching videos, or succumbing to any number of other temptations. I try to avoid this sort of Web grazing as much as possible, but I realized recently that I have probably been too careful in avoiding it – my stock of ideas was starting to seem a bit depleted.

 我们总是轻易地浪费一大堆时间随意浏览网页、在微博上闲逛、看碟或者屈服于其他任意的诱惑活动。我试图尽可能避免这种“网络放羊”的情况，但我最近发现，很有可能因为过于小心翼翼，而导致我的想法“储存库”似乎开始慢慢变少！

So, this  morning I set aside some time specifically for that purpose.  Primarily, I spent a good bit of time sifting through posts in my Google Reader and a couple of discussion groups to see where they led. As a result, I came up with: 

因此，今天早上我特意腾出时间思考这个问题，首先，我花了一点时间筛选我的谷歌读者和一对讨论组的帖子，查找它们指引去哪里。结果，我想出：

At least three to four decent ideas for blog posts – and probably more as the various ideas I gathered percolate 

从博客帖子中我至少得出三四个相当好的主意，这似乎比我收集过滤的各类主意还要多！

An eBook on pricing that helped me get me unstuck on an article I have been writing  - and will also probably help me solve some pricing challenges I have been wrestling with for a while. (Via Seth Godin. If pricing is a topic you care about, this is a gem.) 

一本关于定价的电子书助我发现我最近写作的一篇文章上的紊乱部分，也将极有可能帮我解决我正冥思苦想的某些定价难题。

A business model idea that may be just the ticket for a new initiative I have been pondering 

一个商业模型的主意可能是解决我正沉思的一项新举措的通行证。

Great follow up notes (on a member-only discussion board) to help me review and synthesize some of what I learned at a recent conference 

精彩的追踪记录（关于只有成员讨论的论坛版块）帮助我重审、综合我在最近的会议上所学的知识。

A good example/idea to pass on to some of my clients that sell online learning 

一个好的主意/例子传给我一些销售网络学习的顾客。

All of that came from maybe 20 minutes or so of random poking around. Okay – maybe not entirely random in this case, since I started with blogs already saved in my Google Reader and discussion boards to which I already belong.  But the lesson I take from it is that I need to be more consistent about carving out some time just to poke around and generate ideas.

所有这些主意可能仅仅在20分钟内或随意闲逛就产生了！好吧！也许在这种情况下，并不是所有的都是随意的，因为我开始浏览的博客是已经存在专属我的谷歌读者和论坛版块中了。但我从中获得的教训是，我需要更专注地雕琢一段时间而不仅仅是闲逛就能产生主意。

It’s still easy to get carried away and waste a lot of time, of course, but if you set a time limit for yourself (use a timer if you have to!), you’ll probably be amazed at how much you can get out of 20-30 minutes. Maybe I’ll keep doing this on Saturday mornings; maybe I’ll pick another day – don’t know yet. But in any case, I plant to make it a more consistent habit.

失去自控或浪费时间当然很容易，但如果你对自己设置了时间限制（如果需要，使用计时器），你将可能很惊讶地发现，在20-30分钟内，你所收获有多丰厚！可能我将在每个周六早上保持做这样的事；可能我将挑选另一个晚上----无法确定！但无论如何，我计划将它变成一项持久的习惯。

How about you?  How do you rev your idea engine? Please comment and share.

你呢？你怎么发动你的灵感引擎？请发表评论，与我们共享。

P.S.S. – I missed this one when I was doing my Saturday morning surfing, but here’s a great post on Copyblogger that stresses learning and acting on what you find during your Web travels: Is Reading Posts Worth Your Time?

P.S.S-我想起某个周六的早上，当时我正冲浪，但却有许多强调学习以及在网络传播中对查找资料发挥作用的博客帖子：阅读博客值得你花时间么？
