[00:01.467] | You really should finish compiling that boring spreadsheet, |
[00:04.482] | but you just can't bring yourself to do it. |
[00:07.534] | Maybe it can wait a little longer. |
[00:10.131] | Or it might just disappear if you ignore it long enough. |
[00:14.245] | You know the feeling. |
[00:15.443] | According to Professor Piers Steel, |
[00:18.150] | of the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary,Piers Steel |
[00:21.830] | 95% of people postpone important tasks at some point.95% |
[00:26.843] | But for some, procrastination isn't occasional, |
[00:30.393] | but incessant and disruptive. |
[00:33.352] | Professor Joseph Ferrari, of DePaul University Chicago, |
[00:36.734] | found that 20% of the population of the world are chronic procrastinators. |
[00:42.724] | Sadly, delaying our duties isn't very good for us: |
[00:46.481] | task-avoiders are less happy, less healthy and less wealthy |
[00:50.832] | than people who tackle tasks immediately. |
[00:54.778] | We like to tell ourselves that we work better under pressure, |
[00:58.013] | when a deadline is looming. |
[01:00.098] | But the truth is that working at the last minute is counterproductive: |
[01:04.329] | we make more mistakes, our behaviour annoys other people |
[01:07.842] | and we end up feeling guilty and ashamed. |
[01:11.410] | Worse still, we risk wasting a significant portion of our life |
[01:15.180] | putting off tasks that will only come back to haunt us later. |
[01:19.169] | As the poet Edward Young wrote: |
[01:21.375] | "Procrastination is the thief of time".“ |
[01:24.806] | Piers Steel gives us some advice to help us confront important tasks. Piers Steel |
[01:29.083] | He suggests breaking it into smaller chunks |
[01:32.517] | and taking baby steps until the task at hand has been completed. |
[01:37.634] | Or you could give a friend £50 |
[01:40.041] | and tell them that if you don't go through with it, |
[01:42.836] | they can give it away to a cause or a political party you dislike. |
[01:48.172] | Those who are highly-organised and efficient |
[01:50.137] | won't need to take heed of this advice. |
[01:53.266] | For everyone else: |
[01:54.585] | will you start following these tips |
[01:57.303] | and confront those urgent tasks that await you today? |
[01:59.670] | Or will you stop procrastinating tomorrow... or perhaps the day after? |

[00:01.467] | 你真的应该编译完那无聊的电子表格 |
[00:04.482] | 但你就是无法让自己行动起来 |
[00:07.534] | 也许它可以等待一段时间去处理 |
[00:10.131] | 如果你长时间忽略它,亦或它可能就消失了 |
[00:14.245] | 你清楚这感觉 |
[00:15.443] | 据卡尔加里大学哈斯卡尼商学院的 |
[00:18.150] | 教授说 |
[00:21.830] | 的人有时候推迟了重要的任务 |
[00:26.843] | 但对于一些人来说,拖延不是偶然的 |
[00:30.393] | 而是不断的和具有破坏性的 |
[00:33.352] | 位于芝加哥的德保罗大学的Joseph Ferrari教授发现 |
[00:36.734] | 世界人口的20%是慢性拖拉者 |
[00:42.724] | 可悲的是,拖延我们的职责对我们来说不是很好 |
[00:46.481] | 逃避任务的人比那些立即处理任务的人 |
[00:50.832] | 更不幸福,更不健康,更不富裕 |
[00:54.778] | 当最后期限即将到来时 |
[00:58.013] | 我们喜欢告诉自己,我们在压力下工作得更好 |
[01:00.098] | 但事实是,在最后一分钟的工作是适得其反 |
[01:04.329] | 我们犯了更多的错误,我们的行为惹恼别人 |
[01:07.842] | 我们最终感到内疚和羞愧 |
[01:11.410] | 更糟糕的是,我们冒着浪费我们生活中相当一部分时间的风险 |
[01:15.180] | 拖延了以后只会回来困扰我们的任务 |
[01:19.169] | 正如诗人爱德华·杨写道 |
[01:21.375] | 拖延是时间的小偷” |
[01:24.806] | 给了我们一些建议,帮助我们面对重要的任务 |
[01:29.083] | 他建议将它分成更小的块 |
[01:32.517] | 并采取婴儿战术,直到手头的任务完成 |
[01:37.634] | 或者你可以给一个朋友50英镑 |
[01:40.041] | 告诉他们,如果你没完成任务 |
[01:42.836] | 他们可以把它投资一项事业或捐给你不喜欢的政党 |
[01:48.172] | 那些执行力强和效率高的人 |
[01:50.137] | 不需要注意这个建议 |
[01:53.266] | 对于其他人 |
[01:54.585] | 你现在会开始遵循这些提示 |
[01:57.303] | 并面对今天等待你的那些紧急任务吗 |
[01:59.670] | 还是明天...或者可能在后天才甩掉拖延的毛病 |
