五、阅读理解(B篇)
Mark Twain once said, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” The famous writer talked about a problem many of us have. The problem is procrastination(拖延症). When procrastination becomes a habit, it can make our lives terrible. However, everyone can avoid it by taking a few simple steps today!
·Make daily “to do” lists
Before your day ends, make a plan for tomorrow. List upcoming tasks in order of importance. You’ll begin each new day with a head start, already knowing what needs to be done. As you complete each task, check it off. This will give you a sense of success.
Always keep your daily schedule with you. Use it to remind yourself what you need to do next. You’ll then have a much better chance of carrying out your plans.
·Break large tasks up into small ones
If a project looks too big, it can discourage you from getting started. The task at hand may seem too great. You may feel defeated before beginning. But every project is doable if it’s done in small steps.
Begin by breaking up your task into smaller parts. This helps remove the unnecessary fear of having to do a large project all at one time.
·Change your working environment
If your workplace is full of distractions (使人分心的事), you’ll need to make some changes. You may need to remove your phone or TV from your workplace. If people often stop by for a talk, you may need to move to a different place.
·Follow the five-minute rule
The hardest part about any task is getting started. That’s why so many people avoid their work until the last minute. Doing so usually leads to added stress. One solution to this problem is to schedule a time daily to work on your big project. Work on it for only five minutes. Then decide whether or not to continue. Surprisingly, once you’ve begun, you may be able to keep going and finish the task.
