15个让你立即摆脱拖延症的方法(组图)
1 Schedule your time in smaller increments
将你的计划表细化到更小的时间段。
If your time frame is too far off in the future, deadlines becomes generalities.
如果你的时间表计划到了很久之后,那么完成限期也会变得很久远。
For example, if you plan on writing four chapters of your soon-to-be-published book in a month, it is not until the fourth week that you'll consider yourself actually procrastinating.
比如,你即将出版的书,如果计划在一个月里写四个章节,很可能直到第四周你才会意识到自己一直在拖延。
Planning in smaller time increments will less likely lead to putting off work until the last minute.
将计划定在更小的时间段里则不容易把活拖到最后一分钟。
"There is a difference between saying, 'I'll write one chapter a week' and saying, 'I'll write four chapters a month,' wrote psychologist Susan K. Perry in Psychology Today.
“我要在一周写一个章节”与“我要在一个月写四个章节”是不同的。心理学家Susan K. Perry 如是说。
2 Create hard-and-fast deadlines
建立必须遵守的最后期限
Instead of thinking you will work on your project for three hours every morning, determine when you want certain tasks completed.
"If the boss hands you an assignment, she doesn't say, 'Work on this each day.' No, she says, 'Have this on my desk by next Friday.'
与其每天早上花三个小时思考你项目上的工作,不如确定每个任务要什么时候完成。
如果老板交给你一个任务,她不会说:“每天做一部分。”,她只会说:“下周五前搞定放我办公桌上。”
3 Map out all of your deadlines on one calendar
在一个日历上画出所有的最后期限
That way, you'll see that your tasks are all interrelated. If your task today affects your task tomorrow, you will experience an "urgency to act."
这样,你将看到你的所有任务都是相互关联的。如果你今天的任务耽误了明天的,你会意识到要“赶紧行动起来”。
4 Create challenging tasks
建立有挑战性的任务
If your tasks are too simple, you will lose enthusiasm which is definitely necessary for completing projects.
如果任务太简单,你会失去完成任务所需要的热情。
5 But not so challenging that they're not reasonable
但任务不能太过有挑战以致不切实际
Although challenging tasks are needed to maintain interests, they should also be reasonable as to not discourage you -- which would result in abandonment before completion.
虽然任务有挑战性是维持兴趣所需要的,但任务不切实际会挫伤积极性,这可能会让人在完成前先放弃了。
6 Switch up your environment
创造合适的工作环境
If your working environment makes you want to snuggle up and take a nap, change it immediately.
如果你的工作环境让你感到舒适惬意地想打盹,即刻改变。
7 Hang out with other people who don't procrastinate
多和做事不拖延的人相处
Hang out with people who inspire you. They'll infuse some of their drive and spirit into your work ethic.
和能激励自己的人一起。他们的动力和精神会不知不觉的影响你的“工作哲学”。
科比
8 And people who are already living your dream
常和已经实现你的梦想的人一起
Connect with people who have already achieved your dream and seek advice on how they accomplished it.
常与已经取得你梦想的成就的人一起,并听取他们关于如何成功的建议。
马丁路德金 I have a dream
9 Announce your goals to others
将你的目标宣告他人
If your friends and colleagues know about your projects, they are bound to ask you about them on a regular basis -- serving as an accountable reminder.
如果你的朋友和同事知道你的目标,他们会时不时的向你问起,这起到一个有效的提醒作用。
10 消除分心的事物
Eliminate distractions
For example, if Facebook is causing you to procrastinate, deactivate it for a short period of time. If email is the problem, turn off your automatic notifications.
如果Facebook 耽误了你的工作,停一段时间。如果是邮件耽误了,关掉自动提示。

11 Force yourself to keep going
强迫自己继续
When you feel your enthusiasm waning, put one foot in front of the other.
"This is similar to overcoming irrational fears," William Knaus, a psychologist at American International College in Springfield, Mass., told WebMD.
当你感到自己的热情消退,将一只脚放在另一只脚前面(脚踏实地,一步步来)。
"这与克服无缘由的恐惧一样。" 美国国际学院的心理学家William Knaus告诉WebMD.
12 When your plan is failing, RE-PLAN
奖励自己
If you spend too much time on something, you may start to resent it.
Realize that hard work should be rewarded with a nice meal at your favorite restaurant or a trip to the movies.
如果在一件事上花太多时间,你会开始厌恶它。
完成艰巨的任务要在最爱的餐厅里吃顿好的犒劳自己,或者去看场电影。
13 When your plan is failing, RE-PLAN
如果计划失败,重新计划
Some goals weren't meant to be achieved since we "outgrow our goals as we discover more about ourselves" so the best action to take is to alter those goals to reflect your own growth.
Take a step back and decide what it is exactly that you want to achieve and what steps you should take to get there.
有些目标的达成需要在不断认识自我的过程中不断地完善计划。所以最好根据自己的成长不断的调整目标。
回过头想想自己到底想达到什么目标,明确自己要怎样才能实现。
14 Stop waiting for the perfect time
不要坐等最好时机的到来
