如何摆脱拖延症？

 

Start with the hardest task of your day.

 

从最棘手的任务着手。

 

Maybe you have an important call to make that you also fear might be uncomfortable. Maybe you know you have gotten behind on answering your emails and have big pile to dig into. Maybe you have the last five pages of your paper to finish.

 

Whatever it may be, get it out of your way the first thing you do.

 

If you start your day this way you will feel relieved. You feel relaxed and good about yourself.

 

And the rest of the day – and your to-do list – tends to feel a lot lighter² and easier to move through. It’s amazing what difference this one action makes.
