🌟尝试新事物是探索人生和自我成长的关键途径。对于任何不确定的选择，如追求新的兴趣爱好、搬迁到完全不同的环境或辞去稳定的工作转而自由职业，都应采取“是就去做”的态度。这种勇于尝试的精神能让你亲身体验结果，即使最终是错误的选择，也能让你获得第一手的经验，避免永远处于猜测的状态。

🗑️舍弃不再服务于你的事物同样重要，这包括无益的关系、无法投入追求的目标、停滞发展的职业等。采用“非”的态度，先假设没有它们，然后观察自己若无这些事物将如何生活。这种清理过程能让你摆脱负担，带着更新的热情重新获取失去的东西。

🧼简化生活是实践尝试与舍弃的有效方式。具体方法包括：清除手机和电脑中的所有数据，从零重新安装操作系统，不使用备份恢复，只添加主动联系你的人；将所有物品存入仓库，搬到只有短期旅行所需的小地方，仅在绝对需要时取用；一年后出售所有存放在仓库的物品。这种彻底的简化能帮助人们摆脱物质束缚，更清晰地认识自己。

🌍从更广阔的角度看，尝试与舍弃意味着拥抱变化和重新开始。无论是搬到世界各地，还是以全新的职业、朋友圈和生活态度重新开始，关键在于打破旧习惯，尝试与已有模式相反的方式。这种不断变化和重新定义自我的过程，是个人持续成长和发现生命可能性的核心。

🔄尝试与舍弃是一个动态循环，需要持续实践和调整。通过定期评估生活中的人、事、物，决定哪些值得保留，哪些需要移除，人们可以不断优化自己的生活方式。这种主动管理生活选择的过程，最终会引导个人找到更符合内心需求的道路，实现真正的自由和满足。

If you’re in doubt about something that’s not in your life, try it.Things are so different in practice versus in theory.The only way to know is to experience it yourself.

Try it examples:

Pursuing a new interest?Moving somewhere very different?Quitting your job to go freelance?

Err on the side of yes. Try it.If it was a mistake, at least you’ll know first-hand, instead of always wondering.

…

If you’re in doubt about something that’s in your life already, get rid of it.Not just things, this goes for identities, habits, goals, relationships, technology, and anything else.Default to not having it, then see how you do without.

Get rid of it examples:

Relationships that bring you downGoals you’re not pursuing A career that’s plateaued

Err on the side of no. Get rid of it.Start with a clean slate,If it was a mistake, you’ll get it back with a renewed enthusiasm.

(The common thread is to make the change, to know first-hand.)

Get rid of everything examples:

Erase your phone and computer.Re-install the operating system from scratch.Don’t restore from the backup — not even your contacts.Only add back people who contact you.Don’t install any apps unless you can’t do without them.Put everything you own into storage.Move somewhere small and simple, bringing only what you’d take on a two-week trip.Only when you absolutely need something, go get it out of storage.After a year, sell all that stuff in storage.Move across the world.Start from scratch with a new career, new friends, and new approach to life.Every time you start to do something out of habit, interrupt the pattern and try the opposite way instead.

(These are my favorite. I actually do these things regularly. I love simplifying.)
