Overcoming Procrastination：克服拖拉(2008-09-17 22:52:57)这篇文章的作者：Steve Pavlina 关于作者：http://www./about-steve-pavlina.htm 文章出处：http://www./articles/overcoming-procrastination.htm 来自：梅子博客 Replace "Finish It" With "Begin It"：一次只做一小步 Don't worry about finishing anything significant. Just focus on what you can do right now. If you do this enough times, you'll eventually be starting on the final piece of the task, and that will lead to finishing. Realize that an imperfect job completed today is always superior to the perfect job delayed indefinitely. Replace that one big perfectly completed task in your mind with one small imperfect first step. 保持生活节奏、控制工作时间：让工作时间成为稀缺资源 Guarantee the fun parts of your life first, and then schedule your work around them. This may sound counterproductive, but this reverse psychology works extremely It's been shown that the optimal work week for most people is 40-45 hours. Working longer hours than this actually has such an adverse effect on productivity and motivation that less real work is done in the long run. I also strongly recommend that you take at least one full day off each week with no work whatsoever. If you know that the next day is your day off, you'll be less likely to put off tasks, since you won't allow yourself the luxury of allowing them to spill over into your day off. When you think that every day is a work day, however, work seems never-ending, and you always tell yourself, "I should be working." Thus, your brain will use procrastination as a way to guarantee that you get some form of pleasure in your life. 万事开头难：用奖励让自己开始工作30分钟 For tasks you've been putting off for a while, I recommend using the timeboxing method to get started. Here's how it works: First, select a small piece of the task you can work on for just 30 minutes. Then choose a reward you will give yourself immediately afterwards. Once you begin taking action, your focus shifts away from worrying about the difficulty of the task and towards finishing the current piece of the task which now has your full attention. Working towards distant and uncertain long-term rewards is not nearly as motivating as immediate short-term rewards. By rewarding yourself for simply putting in the time, instead of for any specific achievements, you'll be eager to return to work on your task again and again, and you'll ultimately finish it.
