聰明人都這樣！

You're smarter ！

You procrastinate a lot

拖延癥

Mahesh Garkoti says smart people are likely to procrastinate on quotidian tasks, mainly because they're working on things that are more important.

馬赫什•戛克提說，聰明的人可能會拖延日常工作，主要是因為他們正在處理更重要的事情。

That's an interesting proposition — but some scientists would say that smart people procrastinate even on work they find meaningful. Wharton psychologist Adam Grant suggests that procrastination is key to innovation, and that Steve Jobs used it strategically.

這是一個有趣的看法——但是一些科學家會說真正聰明的人甚至會拖延他們覺得重要的工作。沃頓商學院的心理學家亞當•格蘭特認為，拖延是創新的關鍵，并指出史蒂夫•喬布斯曾使用過拖延戰略。

As Grant told Business Insider, "The time Steve Jobs was putting things off and noodling on possibilities was time well spent in letting more divergent ideas come to the table, as opposed to diving right in with the most conventional, the most obvious, the most familiar."

格蘭特告訴商業內幕網說，“史蒂夫•喬布斯會把項目一推再推，反復思考各種可能性，等待各種不同的觀點浮出水面，而不是直接選用最傳統、最顯而易見和最熟悉的方案。”
