A password has changed my life.
The next story is between frustration and happiness.
"How can she do this to me ?" This problem keeps hovering in my mind. Every day.
In 2011, the gradient was still very popular, and iOS icons were still rational. Everyone was still using body flavoring agents, and I was deeply frustrated. I am divorced.
Fortunately, I am still rational enough (and a group of amazing friends ). So I found some ways to maintain it.
One day I went to the office and started my computer to prepare for a day's work. Everything went smoothly until I saw this message:
Your password has expired. Click "Change Password" to set a new password.
Slot. I thought "Change Password" was another setting.
I looked at this stupid message, as if an angry grandmother was whispering to me:This damn password has expired.
In my company, the IT management settings Microsoft Exchange Service requires thousands of colleagues around the world to change their passwords. Once every 30 days.
The shit is: the server forces at least oneUppercaseAt least one letterLowercaseAt least one letterSpecial charactersAnd at least oneNumber. In addition, this pile of troublesome things must have more than eight digits.Also, the password for the past three months cannot be repeated!
I was so angry that morning. 09:40 A.M., Tuesday. A very hot day, when I arrived at the company, I was full of sweat and I had to go to work. I'm late. I also carry a motorcycle helmet. I don't seem to have breakfast yet. A cigarette-like smell in your mouth. I have to solve this asshole problem before the meeting at AM, and I am facing a waste of time.
Let's take a look... the input box carries a beating cursor, waiting for me to enter a password that needs to be input for 30 consecutive days, and the password needs to be entered countless times a day.
Okay. Getting rid of these setbacks reminds me of a method that was learned by Rasmus, the former leader. He successfully combined the to-do list and password. I want to try the enhanced version.
I need a password to change my life.
Obviously, if I maintain my habits and status at that time, I have almost no way to do anything. Of course, I know what I need to do, or what I want to achieve to regain control of my life, but we usually turn a blind eye to them.
My password can be used as a suggestion. My password reminds me not to let myself be the victim of a breakup, but I am strong enough to do something.
Changed my password to "Forgive @ h3r"
During the meeting, I kept thinking about what I just did. Something seems to have painted a smile on my cheek.
For the rest of the week, I have to repeat the password every day. Every time I lock my computer screen, every time my screen saver (her photo) appears, every time I come back from lunch alone.
I felt that I had released a spell for myself. Instead of entering a password, I kept reminding myself to "Forgive her (Forgive her )".
This simple action has changed my attitude towards my ex-wife. I repeatedly remind me to forgive her, so that I can accept the fact that my marriage is over, embrace a new life, face it calmly, and no longer immerse myself in it.
In the following days, my status will be greatly improved. The next weekend, I foundPasswordThe efficiency is reduced and the effect is lost. I released this "Spell" again ". Every time I enter my passwordI forgive her.. The healing effect immediately takes effect again.
A month later, my dear Exchange Server asked me to change my password. I thought about the next thing I should do.
My new password isQuit @ smoking4ever
Guess what happened? I quit smoking the next day. Almost no one believes that I did this. I tried a variety of books, e-cigarettes, plaster, and so on, and it was useless, but this little drama method was very effective.
This password was quite uncomfortable that month, but every time I entered this statement, it made me feel uncomfortable to myself.Shout. This constantly inspires me to achieve my goals every month.
One month later, I changed my passwordSave4trip @ thailand
Where did I go in three months? Thailand.
There are still some balances.
How can these positive comments and reminders help me to material my goals every month and help me maintain my initiative and enthusiasm? We have to admit that it is not easy to find the next goal. Sometimes it is not easy to find out what we need to change or where we want to continue.
The simplest form of password allows you to reach a destination in the digital world. For example, copy a file, unlock a computer, and send an email. This kind of micro-achievement, this "mysterious spell helps me get things done" idea can help build motivation that constantly inspires you to stay focused on your monthly goals. This inconspicuous habit has changed me.
In this way, I find that if I use the correct methodChange your life. This is exactly how I achieved remarkable results in January.
The following are some passwords I have used in the past two years, so that you can understand what changes have taken place in my life. Thanks to this method:
- Forgive @ her to my ex-wife, let me start this journey.
- Quit @ smoking4ever works.
- Save4trip @ thailand works.
- Eat2times @ day. It's useless. It's still very fat.
- Sleep @ before12 works.
- Ask @ her4dateEffective. I fell in love again.
- No @ drinking2months works. Great!
- MovE @ togeth3r works.
- Get @ c4t! Effective. We have a super cute star.
- Facetime2mom @ Sunday works. I call my mom every week.
I used this last month:
- Save4 @ ringHmm. Life is about to enter a new chapter. Soon.
Now I have a little expectation every month. I can change my password every month and start the next focus phase to inspire me to do the next thing.
In the past two years, this method has always worked for me. I shared it with some close friends and relatives. I think this small habit may not be a major breakthrough, but it does have a positive impact on my life. Therefore, I will share this method with you here.
Try it. Write down these statements with a correct attitude and attitude, and you will change your life.
Of course, in consideration of security, try some complicated descriptions. Use some symbols or numbers to make the password longer. Use some special means to process the password at the beginning or end. S4f3ty_f1rst! (Security first !)
Remember to tell other friends that you might need this method.
