If you always put off doing things you should do or would like to do, you have experienced procrastination(拖延症).
Do you have procrastination because you are lazy? In fact, lazy people don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to do something but can’t force(促成) themselves to start.
There’s a goal in your brain, for example, what are the tasks to be completed today? What goals need to be achieved this year? Everything is in control.
But at the same time, your brain will also have a love of freedom, know how to enjoy yourself. Whenever you secretly make up your mind to complete a task, this “you” will give you a list of temptations. And you will fall step by step.
So if you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games, checking WeChat, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you feel powerless and have the feeling of guilt(内疚) and trouble.
We all have procrastination more or less. __________ For example, it took Da Vinci(达·芬奇) sixteen years to complete the smile of Mona Lisa. In the middle of the delay(拖延), he went to study and changed his idea of light and shadow.
Excellent people also need to procrastinate, so that inspiration(灵感) has more time in their heads to collide(冲突) with each other. So procrastination is not always terrible. What’s terrible is that we don’t know why we procrastinate. The best way to deal with procrastination is to really understand your heart and find out the reason why it’s not easy for you to start. Some people procrastinate to think, while others procrastinate to escape(逃避).
Do you have the habit of procrastination in your daily life? What is the reason?
1.If you are a procrastinator, you might spend much time doing many activities EXСЕРТ __________.
A.checking WeChat B.doing the task now C.walking around the room D.playing video games
