Give Yourself a Deadline to Complete Each Book

 

给每一本书设定一个截止日期

 

Before you read each book, ask yourself when you need to complete this book by.

 

What I find interesting is that I tend to read books that I borrow from libraries faster than the books I bought. The reason is the books I bought don't have a due date! I don't need to return those books.

 

When you don't set a deadline to complete your book. There isn't a sense of urgency. And when something isn't urgent,you tend to procrastinate¹ .

 

1 procrastinate   

v.耽搁，拖延

参考例句：

• Most often we procrastinate when faced with something we do not want to do.面对不想做的事情，我们经常拖延。
• It's easy to procrastinate when the deadline seems infinitely far away.当最终期限总是遥遥无期时是很容易延期的。
