Overcome Procrastination 战胜拖延

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，我们就是在主动地推迟某个任务。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. But 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？

Maybe you just need to reconnect with your purpose, your reason why you must do this. Maybe you just need to remind yourself of the positives and negatives that will come if you do not complete this task. Attend to these needs and you may find that your productivity goes up naturally.

也许，你只是需要再回顾一下自己的目标，想一下为什么自己一定要做这件事。也许，你只是需要提醒自己，要是你不完成这个任务，会有什么后果。满足自己的这些需求，然后，你可能会发现，你的效率自然而然地就提高了。

In order to overcome procrastination, we need to manage overwhelm. For many of us, if our goals are too big, we won't even start them! Because of this, it is important to make sure we set small, achievable goals and to make ourselves accountable for achieving them.

为了克服拖延，我们需要避免让自己压力过大。对于我们很多人而言，如果我们的目标太大了，我们根本就不会采取行动！因此，我们给自己定的目标，一定要小一点，要能够够得着，这样，我们才做得到实现它们。

If you ever find yourself in overwhelm, think of the saying, how do you climb the staircase to success? One step at a time. Break down your tasks into small chunks, many small actions that you can take will lead to the completion of your goal.

如果你觉得自己压力很大，快撑不住了，想一下这句话，你要如何攀爬阶梯，走向成功？答案是，每次只走一步。把你的任务，细分成很小的部分，让你去做小小的行动，久而久之累积起来，它们能带你完成你的目标。

Write them all down on a piece of paper in order of importance. And cross them out when you have them completed. The small reward of crossing of the task will bring a sense of achievement and will make it more likely you will follow through with the rest of the tasks.

把它们写下来吧，写在一张纸上，按照重要性排序。当你完成小的任务时，就把它们一个个划掉。这个小小的动作会给你带来成就感，让你有动力去完成剩下的任务，这样你就更有可能实现你的目标。
