So a really good way to find a system for you for approaching double tasks is when you successfully do a novel task, look at the system that you used to get it done.

Part of it is I’ll think about three ways I could approach the task at the outset.
比如，我一开始就会考虑三种方法来处理这项任务。
And that’s kind of useful for everybody, because we all tend to think of one way we could approach something and start down that track.
这对每个人都很有用，因为我们都倾向于想出一种方法来处理某事，然后沿着这条轨道开始。
And then only later maybe realize that a different way of approaching it would’ve been more useful.

And then I try and address each of those things that could go wrong in a specific way.

But I don’t always do those six or seven steps.
但我并不总是做完整的六七个步骤。
For a lot of tasks, I’ll just do one or two of them.

Starting with thinking of different ways to approach it is probably the most important one for me.

对我个人来说，事前分析和检验假设的想法是有吸引力的，因为我预计这会对那些比你想象的要花更长时间的事情有很大帮助。
