战胜拖延-承诺至少会出现(6)

The ways successful people defeat procrastination¹.

 

成功人士战胜拖延的方法。

 

They commit to at least showing up.

 

他们承诺至少会出现

 

 

After starting a task, you'll likely stick with it a lot longer than you initially² committed to.

 

It's like working out. Half the battle is just showing up to the gym.

 

Commit to just showing up and you'll find yourself completing a lot more tasks. The next time you don't feel like tackling³ a task,commit to only working on it for one minute. Set a timer for 60 seconds, then sit down and get to work. More often than not, you’ll find yourself wanting to go beyond the 60 seconds and continue.

 

 

I constantly use this technique to trick myself into working on tedious tasks.
