Report says that around 95% of people put off their work, but why?
First, people who lack confidence would put those challenging task off till they can't delay an longer. The reason is that they are afraid of failing. It's interesting that scientists also pointed out that impulsive people procrastinate their work because they like entertainments more than focusing on what they should do. They are hard to fight distractions, the things make them not to concentrate. Besides, someone is poor at managing their time, which is one of reason to put off the work.
I am one of them, more truly, I have these three problems mentioned above. So, what should I do?
We are suggested following 4 methods to break the bad habit:
1. To make a time table of each task we are going to do, but not tightly; otherwise, we can't control if anything interrupts.
2. To separate the work into small parts, which will be achieved easily.
3. Get rid of distractions, and then we could pay more attentions to the assignments.
4. Give ourselves some awards when we finish difficult missions. For example, having a piece of chocolate when the math homework is done.
以上簡介改寫自2009 6月份的LIVE 互動英文其中一篇文章
我一直很喜歡這份雜誌，很適合國高中生或英檢中級的學習者。裡面富含生活化的實用題材，從機場通關到食譜，每個月都有不同，重點是很吸引人的主題。像是這一篇關於延宕工作的文章，恰好切中我的要害，哈哈，非得好好研究一下
透過改寫，不僅將內容再次深度地細讀，融會貫通後，用自己的語言加上習得的新字彙寫出來，也可強化綱要掌握和寫作的要領甚求美感
老師們可試試讓學生們透過這樣的練習，逐步掌握閱讀能力和說故事的技巧
