Overcome Procrastination（如何克服拖延症）

When we procrastinate, we are actively choosing to postpone or put off doing a particular task. And it's a common thing! Whether it's in our business, homework, housework or exercise, we are all guilty of putting off things we KNOW we need to do.
当我们拖延的时候，我们就是在推迟一个任务。这样做，是我们自己的选择。这是一个很普遍的现象，无论是面对工作，作业，家务，还是运动，在故意推迟一些我们该做的事时，我们都会感到愧疚。

We know that we all do it. So WHY do we procrastinate?
我们知道，大家都有拖延症。那么，我们为什么会拖延呢？

The main reason we procrastinate is that our brains are always seeking to gain pleasure and avoid pain. When we procrastinate, our brain is literally telling us to avoid doing the thing we need to do, because it's less fun. In a way, the brain is sort of like, a little child, wanting to stay out and play when it's time to go home and have dinner.
我们有拖延症，最主要的原因，就是，我们的大脑总是想办法找乐子，并且想避免痛苦。我们拖延的时候，其实，大脑就是在告诉我们，不要去做那些我们该做的事，因为这没意思。从某种程度上说，大脑，就像个小孩子，到了应该回家吃饭的时候，它还想待在外面玩。

接下来，我要向你分享一些简单的步骤。如果你想彻底克服拖延症，请你试一试吧。

1. Self-parenting. As mentioned before, the procrastinating brain is sort of like a small child wanting to avoid the boring stuff in life, and just enjoy the fun or easy stuff. But if a child is behaving in a way that is opposing to their needs, we don't yell at them and tell them they are bad. We need to find a way to reason with them.
