The ways successful people defeat procrastination.

成功人士戰勝拖延的方法。

They give up.

他們會放棄

Just because you already poured hours into aproject, doesn't mean you need to finish it. This is known as the "sunk costfallacy." The "sunk cost fallacy" affects gamblers, investors, and evenprocrastinators. Sometimes, a project just isn't worth burning more hours over,and you ultimately need to figure out if it's time to quit.

只是因為你早已在一個項目上花費了好幾個小時，并不意味著你必須要完成它。這就是所謂的“沉沒成本誤區”。“沉沒成本誤區”對賭徒、投資者、甚至是拖延者都造成了影響。有時候，一項任務不值得花費更多的時間，最終你需要意識到是否到了該放棄的時候。

Take a step back and figure out the reason you're procrastinating on the project or task. Is it because it's actually not thatimportant, or doesn't move you closer to your big picture goal?

后退一步看看你在項目或任務上為什么會拖延。是因為它真的不重要嗎?或者是沒能讓你更接近你的目標藍圖？

Subtraction, instead of addition, is efficient andproductive. Maybe you need to focus on doing fewer things. Maybe this project you’re procrastinating on is actually making you much less productive and needs to be dropped.

減法比加法更有效。可能你需要把精力集中在少數的事情上，可能你拖延的這個項目讓你變得低效，那么你確實需要放棄它。
