From auto repairs and life insurance to coffee and French fries, keep track of every penny you spend for several months.
从自动修理机到咖啡、薯条等基本生活物资，给你所花的每分钱记个账，坚持几个月。

Accomplish an almost impossible goal
完成一个几乎不可能达到的目标
The most uncomfortable thing you can do is to set and achieve a goal that's harder than something you've ever done before.
给自己定下目标，要做到一件比你做过的任何事都困难的事，然后真的达成目标。这可能是最让你感到不适的事情。

Pick just one thing to master at a time
每次只选择一件事情并完成它

或许你提高自己的方法是，试着完成很多很多事情，越多越好，看看自己能做到哪一件。然而，用一种相反的策略才是完成这些事情的关键，尽管这会让你感到不适。
If you're constantly changing interests, you're never going to discover your own internal progress. So pick one thing and become progressively committed to mastering it. It doesn't matter what it is, anything will do, as long as you do.
如果你想做的事总是在变幻，你永远不会察觉到自己内在的进步幅度。所以你应该选定一件事，下定决心，一步一步地完成它。这件事是什么不重要，任何事情都可以，只要你真正去做。
