    　　Paula and Rory have fives kids, three dogs, and a rabbit．When the house is very noisy, Megan, one of the children, is quietly inventing．A year ago, the 10-year-old had to design an anti-smoking poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁)a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes．

    　　“I like people to play with things more than read and write,” she says．So she researched her idea on the Internet, found a company in China that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made．

    　　Paula says her daughter “think differently”：Ideas jump into her mind．After she got sunburnt on holiday, Megan invented a small plastic bracelet(手镯)that changes colors in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen(防晒霜)．Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea．She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty．“But we didn't do anything with it,” says Paula．

    　　Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod(钓鱼竿)she had designed．“There is a camera on the hook(钩),” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle, and it shows if you've caught a fish or not．”

    　　Megan doesn't want to go to university．She keeps her pink-and -cream bedroom tidy．Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter．“Everything has to be in a certain order,” Paula says．“Her brothers and sisters go with the flow, but with Megan, it's ‘What time will that be happening?' or ‘Where am I being picked up from today?'”

    　　　　　　　　Getting to Now: How to Beat the Procrastination Habit

    　　I am a procrastinator(拖拉者). I always have been. I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit. Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now:

    　　Set aside blocks of time to do things. When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year, she asked me why I didn't exercise more often. “　1.　,” I said. “Something always comes up.” She wasn’t impressed. “J.D.,” she said, “You have to make time. Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride.” The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate.

    　　　2.　. Often I’ll be sitting on the back porch reading a book, and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done — mending the fence, for example. “　3.　,” I tell myself. Wrong! What usually happens is that I forget to write it down, and even if I do, I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end. The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it. (Assuming, of course, that I have the time at that moment,which I usually do.)

    　　Use a timer to bring you back to reality. Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a daydreamer. 　 4.　. One way to keep on track is to use a timer. I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer, but not as often as I should. I set it for 48 minutes. When it goes off, 　 5.　: Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?

    　　Do not multitask. I often start many things at once, but I never actually do any of them. In order for me to get something done, I need to focus my attention on it. Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow.

    　　A. I’m always lost in thought

    　　B. it brings me back to reality

    　　C. If it comes to mind, then do it

    　　D. I don’t have the time

    　　E. it serves as an instant reality check

    　　F. Do it right away if you are asked to do something

    　　G. I need to write that down so I can remember it
