It also helps to write down-this is a commitment. Write down goals. Divide and conquer. Break down the achievement.
書面寫下也很有用…等于建立了契約 把目標寫下來 分階段進行 一一擊破
Remember Langer's research? Write these things down. Make a list. It actually helps most people.
還記得蘭格的研究嗎 把目標寫下來 列一張表 對多數人來說很有用
And finally, permission to recreate. What that means is give yourself permission to be human; give yourself permission to procrastinate at times as well; give yourself permission to recover.
最后一點 允許自己娛樂消遣 準許自己為人 有時候拖延一下也未嘗不可 允許自己休整
You are not a machine; we are not machines. We need to understand the constraint of you of nature.
你不是機器 我們不是機器 我們需要了解能力的范疇
Because if we don't understand it, if we don't respect nature, nature is not going to respect us, and we are going to pay a price, in terms of our productivity, our creativity as well as our happiness-the ultimate currency.
否則就是違背自然 自然就會報復我們 讓我們付出代價 效率降低 失去創造力與幸福感 也就是我們終極貨幣

I want to show you a quick excerpt by my favorite, Ellen DeGeneres. And this is the end, the end of her show on procrastination, which I highly, highly recommend you. You can find it in any of the video stores around here.
我給大家放一段視頻 是我最喜歡的艾倫·德杰尼勒斯 這是一期有關拖延的節目的結尾部分 強烈推薦大家看看 任意音像店里都能找到
So here she is-the end of her show after she's talked about procrastination for over an hour. The one and only. Ellen DeGeneres "Here and Now":
這期節目時長一小時 主題是拖延 這是結尾部分 唯一的 艾倫·德杰尼勒斯《此時此地》
We are doing all these things to squeeze things together so we can save time.
我們想盡一切辦法把事情擠在一起做以節省時間
And I don't know about you but I don't have anymore time. I have less time.
我不知道你們怎么樣 但我時間不夠了 我時間越來越少了
But let's just say we could save up a whole chunk of time and set it aside.
假設我們能省出一堆時間 空閑了出來
You know what we'd do with it? Nothing. Nothing at all.
然后拿它干什么呢 什么也不做
Isn't that the point to be able to do nothing at all?
什么也不做 意義不正是如此嗎
