5個小建議讓你告別拖延症（雙語）
摘要：大多數學生和拖延症的關係可謂愛恨交織，纏綿悱惻。我們花樣迭出地讓自己享受稍縱即逝的快樂，舒緩壓力，卻也讓任務漸漸堆積。死線將至，逝去的時光成了不可挽回的遺憾。看你這麼辛苦，小編特地奉上5個小建議，讓你告別“拖延症”這種沉痾舊疾。
SET GOALS
制定目標
Students often procrastinate because they think that they can put off the work for a while and enjoy their time at the moment. This thought tends to backfire, though, when the deadline becomes one day away and the essay has yet to be started. In order to stay on track, you should constantly set and update goals. It can be beneficial to mark all deadlines in a planner and think about how much time you need to meet them all. Update your plan for the upcoming two weeks so that you do not get overwhelmed, and continue to update as other assignments and events arise. Additionally, make a daily schedule in order to reach necessary goals before going to bed.
拖延的折翼天使們總想着能把工作暫時放一放，及時行樂。但常常事與願違，當明天就是死線的時候，你的論文還一筆沒動呢!爲了一切按計劃進行，你應該不斷制定並更新自己的目標。最好是能在計劃表上標出所有的截止日期，想清楚完成每項任務所需的時間。要養成習慣，更新未來兩週的計劃，及時跟進各項事宜的進展，讓日子有條不紊。另外，做好每日計劃，今日事今日畢。
REWARD YOURSELF
獎賞自己
It can become extremely difficult to work for hours straight in order to finish school work. In order to keep productivity and sanity levels up, set breaks at the end of a period of time or once you finish a section of your work so that you can reward yourself with some deserved, scheduled, and controlled procrastination-like activities; have a coffee with a friend, cook, or watch an episode of a television show. Breaks like these are proven to increase productivity and keep you focused, and they will make the process of studying much more bearable!
連天累日的埋頭苦讀真是件難熬的事。爲了保持高效，維持清醒，“課間”休息和任務完成後的放鬆是必須的，你可以做一些有意義、有計劃、能把持住的“疑似拖延”活動;和朋友喝杯咖啡，做點美味佳餚或者看一集電視劇。這樣的小憩能提高效率，增強你的注意力，讓你在無涯的學海里泛起盪漾的小舟!
REMIND YOURSELF OF WHAT YOU’RE DOING
提醒自己要務第一
Sometimes you may begin to think that the reading that you are doing, the assignment that you are writing, or the lab that you are performing do not pertain to what you ultimately want to do. You may consider some work or a class pointless and not useful to your further studies. However, when these thoughts arise and you think that getting a pint is a better idea than getting a good grade, remind yourself what the ultimate goal of your schooling is. Remind yourself why you wanted to go to school and take this program in the first place. Evaluate your priorities in a serious manner and you may understand why you should focus on completing your work and postpone the pint until the weekend.
有時你會覺得自己讀的文章，寫的作業或做的實驗和自己的最終目標關係不大。你可能覺得有些課，有的作業對深造並無裨益。然而，當這些想法來臨，當你覺得喝一杯比做學霸更可行時，請提醒自己來這上學的目的是什麼，當初爲何來這，爲何讀這個專業。嚴肅認真地分析目前的要務，你就明白爲何要專注學業，那些“喝一杯”的事，還是推到週末吧。
TURN OFF THE INTERNET
斷網
Some of the most common distractions are those found on the internet – social media sites, websites with listicles, and videos. (Perhaps you even use KanDongSee to procrastinate…) If you do not need the internet to do your work, turn it off so that you are not receiving notifications while completing your work, and you are not as tempted to search for sites with quizzes that determine the type of bread that you are. The same goes for your cell phone; you can take a break from being connected to the cyber world in order to do your school work. If you feel the need to check messages and websites often, set times when you will allow yourself to do so rather than constantly staying connected.
互聯網裏盤踞着最常見的誘惑——社交網站，掛着listicles(有趣的圖、文、視頻，類似某些豆瓣小組)的網頁以及視頻。(或許“看東西”也能用來消磨時光……)如果不是非要上網才能學習，趕緊斷網吧，這樣就不會被新通知打擾，不會禁不住做一些“類型斷定” 的小測驗。對待電話也是如此;給自己一段清靜的時光，抽離虛擬世界，專注於功課。如果有必要經常查看信息或網站，定好查看節點，不要在網上浪費時間。
HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO
對生活有所期待
Being productive for all hours of every day does not work – you do need breaks, and as a student you are entitled to have a lot of fun. So, in order to balance productivity and amusement, plan times to go out with friends or do something relaxing to complement your school work. Ideally, social and relaxation plans should be made for after a significant portion of work is complete. This way, while you are working, you can keep in mind that once you are finished your work you can go out and not worry about your assignments.
期待自己像永動機一樣連軸轉實在不現實——你需要休息，正青春的你還有大好人生用來享受。所以，要找到效率和消遣的平衡，在學習之餘定期和朋友小聚，做點放鬆身心的事也很是愜意。理想情況下，社交和放鬆計劃應該在大部頭的學習任務完成之後。這樣，工作的時候你就有了盼頭，知道工作完成後你能好好玩一場，不用擔心作業的事啦。
