战胜拖延-他们对别人负责(2)

The ways successful people defeat procrastination¹.

 

成功人士战胜拖延的方法。

 

They make themselves accountable to others.

 

他们对别人负责

 

If you can't stay accountable to yourself, you might have more success staying accountable to other people.

 

Tell everyone what you plan to do and talk about your goals. Tell friends, employees and employers² your intentions and you won’t want to let them down. For example, if you want to go to the gym every day, ask a friend to text you every evening asking "did you go to the gym today?"

 

Another suggestion is to start documenting and sharing your journey. A blog or vlog where you share the projects you're working on and your progress will encourage you to get things done. Allowing yourself to be under public scrutiny³ can help light a fire under you.
