The ways successful people defeat procrastination.

成功人士戰勝拖延的方法。

They break up large tasks into smaller tasks.

他們把大任務拆分成小任務

The classic but seldom-followed productivity adviceto conquering large or overwhelming tasks is to break them up into smallerchunks. Successful people understand that tasks need to be broken down intomuch more specific and measurable sub-tasks.

當克服很大的或是壓倒性的任務時，一個很經典但是卻很少被使用的提高效率的建議是，把他們拆分成小塊。成功人士知道任務需要被拆分成具體可行的子任務。

For example, an overwhelming to-do list item mightbe "write book." Does that item in my to-do list mean I need to write theentire book today, or does only writing one sentence count towards thecompletion of the task?

例如，一個難辦的待辦事項條目可能是“寫書”。在待辦事項中的這個條目是說我今天就要寫完一整本書呢？還是只寫一句話就算完成？

A better approach would be to set a goal of writinga specific number or words each day, or spend a certain amount of timeresearching.

一個更好的方法是設置一個目標，明確規定每天要寫多少數量或多少字，或是花固定的時間研究。

"Write 1000 words"or "spend 30 minutes researchingexamples of productive CEOs for book" are much more specific tasks, andtherefore easier to tackle. This often encourages me to get more done and feelaccomplished and motivated by scratching to-do items off of my list.

“寫100個字”或是“花30分鐘研究高效的CEO寫書的例子”是更為具體的任務，也因此更容易處理。這經常能鼓勵我完成更多工作，把工作從待辦事項的清單中劃掉是非常有成就感也是非常鼓舞人的。
