每日原则：建造你的机器

如果你仅仅集中精力于手头的每件任务或案例，就会受困于逐一应对的局面。相反，你应该更多考虑自己在做什么样的事情及其原因，从手头的事例中提炼出相关的原则，把流程系统化，从而相当于建造出一部机器。与完成手头的任务相比，建造机器要花费大约两倍的时间，但是一切终有回报，机器可以通过学习和提炼经验使得未来的工作更加有效。

Focus on each task or case at hand and you will be stuck dealing with them one by one. Instead if you build a machine by observing what you're doing and why, extrapolating the relevant principles from the cases at hand, and systemizing that process well you will accelerate your progress towards your goal. It typically takes about twice as long to build a machine as it does to resolve the task at hand, but it pays off many times over because the learning and efficiency compound into the future.
