对症下药：最常见的3大效率谎言如何破解

The power of procrastination is, well, pretty powerful. Without much thought, the top task on your to-do list can get pushed to tomorrow, and then to the next day, and then to the next. And in your mind, you truly believe you’ll get to it eventually—but “eventually” keeps getting pushed further and further away.
拖延的力量是很强大的。可想而知，你任务清单上最上面的任务肯定是要被你推到明天去做了，然后又被推到下一天，然后又到下一天。在你心中，你真的以为你最后能把它完成——但“最终”的含义就是不停的拖下去、拖下去、拖下去……

Solution: Find an Accountability Ally
解决方案：找一个问责盟友

The root of procrastination is often a lack of accountability—if no one knows what’s on your to-do list, no one knows that you’re not actually making any progress on it. To stay on track, partner up with a co-worker or group of peers—people who are committed to helping each other do what they say they’re going to do—and plan to check in with each other at least once a week. Whenever you meet (whether virtually or in person), review your progress, share your upcoming goals, and provide feedback and encouragement. You’ll be a lot more likely to finish your blog post if you have a friend who checks up on you: “I haven’t seen an update on your blog today—when are you going to post it?”
拖延症的根源在于缺乏监督与问责——假如没人知道你任务清单上有些什么，就没人知道你是否真的有所进展了。为了保持前进，找一个或一群同事来帮你——他们同意帮助别人完成那些他们自称会做的事情——然后每周互相确认至少一次。每次你们相遇时（不管是在网上还是在私下），回顾一下你们的进展，分享一下近期的目标，然后提供一些反馈和鼓励。要是你的朋友总是这么催你，你肯定会更勤地更新你的博客的：“我今天没看到你更新播客啊——你准备什么时候发啊？”
