Experiment 5

Goal: Go 21 straight days without complaining or uttering non-constructive criticism. (If I catch myself doing it, I must start again at day zero.)

This was inspired by Will Bowen’s book A Complaint Free World, in which he claims that if you stop pronouncing your negative thoughts, you stop having those kinds of thoughts, and that if everyone did this the world would change completely.

What happened: It took 55 days to get 21 complaint-free days in a row, but I did it. This experiment really does teach you not to complain, and I think everyone should do it once in their lives. But it didn’t create much of an inner change. My negative thoughts were unaffected, I just got more polite about whether to pass them on to others. Complaining can even be a worthwhile form of bonding, as I learned while I was working a painful manual labor job with new friends, and could never join in on the lighthearted griping. Still, it’s better to never complain than to complain freely.

Where I am with it today: Even though the exercise didn’t eliminate internal negativity like the book promised, the experiment left me much more conscious about expressing needless negativity, and I am pretty good at keeping it to myself most of the time. I’m also more patient with others when they’re complaining. This is one experiment I would recommend to almost anybody.

Да, это — работа.
Сложная и требующая насилия над своими инстинктами и шаблонами мышления. Она неизбежно будет вторгаться в вашу "гражданскую" жизнь и чем дальше, тем сильнее. Есть хорошая профессиональная поговорка: то, что делаем мы, меняет нас. У этого процесса есть много плюсов (появится хладнокровие, рассудительность, обстоятельность в принятии решений), но и минусов (на фоне других людей, если не будете одевать маску, вы будете казаться холодным фриком). Решать — вам и только вам, но теперь вы по крайней мере знаете, как превратить себя из потенциальной жертвы "эмоциональных качелей", на которые вас упорно заманивают создатели новостей, в адекватного читателя-аналитика. Если вы последуете вышеизложенным советам, ваши нервы будут очень благодарны, и вы точно узнаете очень много нового о себе и о мире вокруг вас.

Sisyphus eventually found peace with his fate. Instead of seeing his punishment as an eternal burden, he saw it as his life's purpose. Maybe those comparatively small annoyances in our life are worth enjoying. They're part of what makes us human.

If you want a single piece of advice to reduce your bug count, it’s this:
Re-read your code frequently. After writing a few lines of code (3 to 6 lines, a short block within a function), re-read them. That habit will save you more time than any other simple change you can make.
