不少人看過馬特卡茨先生的30天嘗試新事情的TED視頻，不過大部分人對馬特先生所知甚少。 剛好今天搜索資料的時候無意中進了馬特先生的個人博客。

這個是馬特 卡茨的個人博客 30 days

博客一直都有在更新，並且馬特先生一直都在堅持著30天嘗試一件新事情， 並記錄在博客上。 而且博客上也記錄了各類技術文章，個人日常的趣事。

馬特先生 萬聖節扮演的一個u盤介面的造型， 看來萬聖節也離不來計算機的魔咒哈。

Next 30 day challenge: social media/news cleanse

Posted February 28, 2015 in 30 days

For January 2015, I tried to declutter around the house for 15 minutes a day. We now have a couple rooms that are much cleaner, and I gave away a bunch of magazines.

For February 2015, my 30 day challenge was to go on daily 15 minute walks with my wife. That was nice.

Lately I』ve been spending more time than I』d like on social media and reading news sites. So for March 2015, I』m going to do a social media and news cleanse. I』ve done a social media cleanse several times before and it』s usually quite helpful for getting re-centered.

Here』s the steps that I』m taking:

– I』m using the StayFocusd Chrome extension to limit myself to 15 minutes a day of Google News, Twitter, Google+, Hacker News, Techmeme, Nuzzel, Reddit, and Imgur.

– On my R7000 home router I』m using the 「block site」 functionality for several of these sites. It looks like the R7000 can block HTTP sites, but not HTTPS.

– On my phone, I』m removing the new tab thumbnails for these sites. I』m also removing some social media apps from my home screen.

I figure that either I』ll get some good stuff done, read a lot of books, or die of boredom. I may (rarely) drop a link on social media, but if you see me just hanging out, please remind me to close my tab and move on.

目前馬特先生的30天就是遠離社交媒體和使用網路的時間，這一次比較狠，在路由器設置了限制瀏覽時間。

我也大概瀏覽了他以前的嘗試，每天走1萬步，每天堅持寫作，每天陪伴家人30分鐘，大部分開起來都不會很難，但堅持下去卻不是一件易事。

最近我會將馬特先生的30天嘗試的新事情翻譯過來。

從他的博客上看，他已經堅持了40個30天的新事情了，也就是堅持了40個月，算下來也快有3年半了，太了不起了，榜樣的力量是無窮。 希望關注此訂閱號的小夥伴能夠堅持個一年半載吧。 ^_^
