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 till it’s too late.    1   Here, I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.

Break your work down into little parts. Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming (巨大的)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. Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate. That’s because we would get the impression that we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late.   4  In this way, you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.

5   I’m pretty 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.

A. Soon, your task will be so simple that you will be thinking you can do it now.

B. Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals.

C. Hang out with people who inspire you to take action.

D. Having a companion makes the whole process much more fun.

E. If it’s the latter, you should begin to change your workspace.

F. It’s a bad habit eating us away and stopping us achieving greater success in life.

G. Break down your project, and then create an overall timeline with specific deadlines for each small task.
