網(wǎng)上曾瘋傳一段子“deadline才是第一生產(chǎn)力”!你有沒有過這樣的感受?明明有大把時間可以完成任務(wù),偏偏要等到最后一刻才開始動手,美其名曰“沒有壓力就沒有動力”。親,你已經(jīng)是拖延癥重癥患者了!下面的五個方子,可供你對癥下藥。
Procrastinating could easily be the sweetest thing in the world, if deadlines did not exist. With a mountain-like load of work waiting to crush you under its weight, you cannot afford to waste time. Here are some simple steps that will help keep you focused during the day.
要是沒有最后期限這回事,拖延可謂是世界上最美好的事情了。面對堆積如山的工作任務(wù),在如此重壓之下,你再也不能浪費時間了。下面是能幫助你在一天之內(nèi)集中注意力的幾個小方法。
1. Stop Consuming the Information You Don’t Need 別再看沒有用的訊息
Unsubscribe from as many mailing lists as you can. This way you can cut down the amount of incoming e-mails and prevent distraction. Also, stop watching news. If there is an event that is newsworthy, it will catch you anyway (mostly by other people).
訂閱郵件能少則少。這樣能減少收到的電子郵件數(shù)量,不讓工作分心。同樣,新聞也不要看。如果這個事件真有新聞價值,不管怎樣你都能知到(多半從其他人那里聽到)。
2. Just Take a small step at a time 每次做一小步
For example, if you’re supposed to write an essay, start with a few paragraphs, and if that’s too much for you, resolve to write just one. If that’s still overwhelming, stick to a couple of sentences or even a few words.
舉個例子,如果你要寫論文,先寫幾個段落;如果你覺得完成幾個段落對你來說量太大了,那就先寫一個段落。如果這樣還不能完成,可以先寫幾個句子,或者甚至就寫幾個單詞。
3. Praise yourself for starting the task 自我表揚
Remember, as soon as you get started with your tedious task, you have already done something that most people are not willing to do. Starting is the hardest part—especially when a boring or irritating task is concerned.
要記住,一旦你開始著手做一項煩心的工作,你就已經(jīng)做成一件大多數(shù)人不愿意做的事情了。萬事開頭難——煩心的事更是如此。
5. Public Posting 公眾監(jiān)督
The procrastinators care much about others’ point of view. Then when you’ve completed a task, let everyone know that you’ve done what you set out to do. The “l(fā)ikes” and congratulatory microblogs will feel very satisfying.
拖延癥患者很介意別人的看法。當完成事情后,讓每個人都知道你的成果。微博上的“頂”和鼓勵的話會讓你很有滿足感。
4. Organise Your Desk 整理桌子
A lot of unsolicited laziness arises from cluttered work environments. Cluttered work tables consume a lot of energy to clean and thus give way to laziness. Organise your table in such a way that each and every thing is in its rightful place, so that when you need something, you will not need to rummage your entire office space for it.
很多時候懶惰來自于亂糟糟的工作環(huán)境。亂糟糟的工作臺會讓你花費精力去整理,于是就給自己偷懶找到了借口。把桌子整理干凈,讓每個東西都放在它應(yīng)該在的地方。這樣當你需要什么的時候,就不必翻遍整個辦公室來找了。
