人们常说，尤其是那些成功人士，会说“走出舒适区”。但没有人真正解释过如何走出舒适区，甚至如何意识到自己身处其中。所以，我来分享一下我的故事。我正在一家初创公司担任创始工程师。这家公司其实算不上是科技公司，但我被聘为技术人员，全面负责产品。我写代码，与现有用户交流，收集反馈，分析用户体验，将人工智能集成到系统中，改进工作流程，提高团队效率，基本上从设计到部署，我都要负责。有趣的是，我在这家初创公司的工作时间很少，可能每天只有一两个小时。最初，头三个月非常轻松。一开始我甚至没有构建太多东西。这有点像远程工作。每周我会去一次创始人的办公室，我们聊几句，仅此而已。我理解一切，然后从那里开始负责。我规划一切，创建了Jira看板，与他分享更新，并向他全面展示我正在做的事情和取得的进展。与此同时，在那三个月里，我还在业余时间构建一个产品。三个月后，他让我去办公室上班。我告诉他：“我不喜欢在办公室工作。我不喜欢朝九晚五，而且我不能保证在固定的时间里保持高效。”但他坚持，说他正在失去对我们正在做的事情的了解。所以我同意了。当我开始去办公室上班的那一刻，我意识到了一些事情。他仍然很少和我交流。我仍然做着和以前完全一样的事情，提出建议，改进系统，构建东西，解决问题。但我意识到这并不是我的归属。我讨厌坐在那四面墙里，坐在那张小椅子上，盯着笔记本电脑屏幕上的小窗户。我真的讨厌我在那里的生活。所以很自然地，我只想逃离。正因为如此，我开始更加积极地构建自己的东西。当他给我一个任务时，我的大脑立刻像定时炸弹一样启动。我尽快完成任务，然后立即回去构建自己的东西。你可能不会相信，在一周之内，我发布了两个产品。仅昨天一天，在三个小时内，我创建了一个Chrome扩展程序，构建了登陆页面，生成了所有图像，创建了扩展程序，并发布了所有内容。我在整个过程中大量使用了人工智能。奇怪的是，即使做了这一切，我仍然觉得自己可以做得更多。那时我意识到了一些重要的事情：我不再处于我的舒适区。我处在一个我非常讨厌的环境中，我的大脑一直在试图逃离它。而这种压力让我变得异常高效。现在，我正在构建自己的产品，自己的初创公司，以及自己的未来。到目前为止，我一生中已经构建了大约八个产品或初创公司。仅在过去的两个月里，我就发布了四个产品，而且我甚至还没有开始对它们进行适当的营销。这一次，在构建的过程中，我每天都在学习新的东西。我知道我现在有很多空闲时间，我认为这是我最大的优势。老实说，我认为这是我经历过的最伟大的感悟之一。

People always say, especially successful people, “Get out of your comfort zone.” But no one really explains how to get out of it or how to even realize you are in one.So I’ll tell you my story.I’m working at a startup as a founding engineer. The company is not really a tech company, but I was hired as the technical person who takes full ownership of the product. I write code, talk to existing users, collect feedback, analyze user experience, integrate AI into the system, improve workflows, make teams more efficient, and basically do everything from design to deployment.The interesting part is, I barely work at this startup, maybe only one or two hours a day.Initially, for the first three months, it was very easy. I wasn’t even building much at first. It was kind of a remote job. Once a week, I would go to the founder’s office, and we would have some small talks, that’s it. I would understand everything and then take ownership from there. I planned everything, created the Jira boards, shared updates with him, and gave him a complete picture of what I was doing and the progress I made.At the same time, during those three months, I was also building one product on the side.After three months, he asked me to come to the office. I told him, “I’m not an office person. I don’t like working 9 to 5, and I can’t guarantee that I’ll be productive during fixed hours.” But he insisted and said he was losing context about what we were working on.So I agreed.The moment I started going to the office, I realized something. He still barely talked to me. I was still doing exactly what I used to do before, giving suggestions, improving systems, building things, and solving problems.But I realized this was not my place.I hated sitting inside those four walls, on that small chair, staring at a small window through my laptop screen. I genuinely hated my life there.So naturally, I just wanted to escape.And because of that, I started building my own stuff even more aggressively.The moment he gives me a task, my brain immediately switches on like a ticking time bomb. I finish the task as fast as possible, and then instantly go back to building my own things.You won’t believe this, within one week, I shipped two products.Yesterday alone, within three hours, I created a Chrome extension, built the landing page, generated all the images, created the extension, and published everything. I used AI heavily throughout the process.And the strange thing is, even after doing all this, I still feel like I can do more.That’s when I realized something important:I was no longer in my comfort zone.I was in a situation I hated so much that my mind was constantly trying to escape it. And that pressure made me insanely productive.Now I’m building my own products, my own startups, and my own future.So far, I’ve built around eight products or startups in my life. In just the last two months, I shipped four products, and I haven’t even started marketing them properly yet.This time, while building, I’m learning new things every single day. I know I have a lot of free time right now, and I think that’s my biggest leverage.And honestly, I think this is one of the greatest realizations I’ve ever had.

大家都说“走出舒适区”，但没人说“怎么做”。
