1 . Overcome Your Procrastination

Procrastination (拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with. When we procrastinate we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do until it’s too late. It’s a bad habit stopping us achieving greater success in life.     1    

Break your work down into little parts.

Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too much and huge for us. Break it down into little parts, and then focus on one part at a time. If you still procrastinate after doing so, break it down even further.     2    

Change your environment.

Look at your work desk and your room. Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy?     3    

Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines.

    4     That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines (截止日期) for each small task. In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.

I’m so sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing. The people we are with influence our behavior.
