A survey shows that at present, 80% of college students and 86% of workers in China suffer from procrastination. 50% people will never do it until the last minute. 65,438+03% people can't finish their work without being urged.
Procrastination has brought great losses to our study, work, life and even our health. Most people regret their delay.
In other words, we know the seriousness of procrastination and sometimes regret why we are so lazy. Regrettably, however, after we regret it, most of the time we will continue to muddle along, continue to delay, and nothing has changed.
In the final analysis, we are used to staying in low-value places, adapted to this pace of life, and want to get out but find ourselves stuck in the mire for a long time.
American writer RandallJarrell said that if you stay in a certain position for a long time, your behavior will begin to adapt to the requirements of the position.
This sentence can be interpreted from two levels.
First, if your time stays on doing low-value things, in the long run, your demands on yourself and what you do will be expressed in this state.
Second, if your time is always spent chasing those high-value things, as long as you get used to that feeling, your actions will gradually put forward higher requirements for yourself.
If you want to leap from the first situation to the second situation, you can only overcome the delay and let yourself jump out of the comfort zone and enter a higher value place to study.
How to solve the delay? It really depends on you. If there is any way, you can only provide one formula:
Goal (concrete and achievable)+reasonable action time+attention (excluding interference factors)+reward and punishment mechanism = overcoming procrastination.
As for how to do it, it's up to you.

Habit 2: Know how to arrange time reasonably.
Time is the greatest capital that each of us has.
Where you spend the most time, you will get the most "harvest".
Others use your time in a daze to struggle, and they gain life experience that you don't have; If you use other people's lazy time to improve your ability, you will make more thorough progress than others.
Some things, the sooner you act, the more time you have to correct them. You never know how long it will take to do what you want.
Life is never smooth sailing. You can only use time to try and make mistakes and then correct them in time.
When you were young, you thought you could pursue the person you like by pestering and beating. You have failed, and there is still time for yourself to learn and adjust.
However, after 30 years old, I only know how to pursue girls. Once you fail, are you willing to take the time to change yourself in order to pursue the person you like? I'm sure you won't, because your time doesn't allow you to do so.
The same is true for changing this "favorite person" into your other pursuits.
Time is not spent on the right things, and one day, this "non-renewable" resource will mercilessly push you to the abyss of regret.
What should you spend your time on? Zhang Yong, president of Alibaba, said: "The best investment is not a house, but investing in yourself."
Investing in yourself should be the right thing, and it will never be out of date.

Habit 3: Keep the desire to learn.
Steve Jobs' famous saying "Stay hungry and stay stupid" is very meaningful to read at any time.
At present, the iteration of knowledge updating is extremely fast, and some knowledge may only be valid for two or three years. Someone once told you how to operate the official WeChat account to make money, which is based on the dividend period of the official WeChat account. Now I tell you, there is nothing you can do.
Therefore, if you want to keep up with the pace of the times, the best way is to keep hungry for learning and know how to update your knowledge system at any time.
Ask yourself, what new knowledge or skills have you learned in the past year?
Yes or no? If not, why? I think there are three reasons:
1, no extra time and energy;
2. I feel that my current ability is enough to cope with life;
3. I don't know what to learn;
The first reason is timing. I am engaged in film and television entertainment. I am very busy every day and often organize activities outside. I often go home to write articles, often until one or two in the morning. However, I can still read an average of four books a month in my spare time.
Do you read four books a month? Not much, just insist. As long as you like, time can always be squeezed out.
As for the second and third reasons, it depends on whether your current ability is your "core competitiveness". If so, you should continue to improve. If not, study with this as the goal.
Without our own core competitiveness, it is easy for us to work aimlessly. It is difficult for us to make greater changes, except to comfort ourselves by completing the tasks set at work.
So, find something that can make you concentrate on it and cultivate it into your core competitiveness; According to this goal, learn the knowledge and skills you need in a targeted manner, which is the direction you should set.
