达芬奇是典型的拖延症患者,他因为习惯性拖延,最终传世画作不超过20幅,其中五六幅直到他去世,都没能完成交给客户。
Da Vinci is a typical procrastinator. Due to his habitual procrastination, he ultimately passed down no more than 20 paintings, of which five or six were not completed and handed over to clients until his death.
达芬奇沮丧地说:告诉我,有哪些事情到底是完成了的?
Da Vinci said dejectedly, "Tell me, what are some things that have been completed?"?
所以将事情拖到最后一刻再去做,那么结果不好,还可以自我安慰:是因为我没有留出充足的时间准备。
So if I delay things until the last minute, the result may not be good, and I can also comfort myself: it's because I didn't leave enough time to prepare.
潜台词是:结果不好,绝非自己能力不行。心理学上有个著名的3分钟定律。
The subtext is: if the result is not good, it is not because one's own abilities are not good. There is a famous 3-minute rule in psychology.
要做什么最好在3分钟内去做,否则你就会不停拖延,甚至放弃。
It's best to do something within 3 minutes, otherwise you will keep procrastinating or even giving up.
所以,不要害怕失败,更不要因此而拖延,想到什么立刻去做,才是最好选择。
So, don't be afraid of failure, let alone procrastinate because of it. The best choice is to do what comes to mind immediately.
凡事先起个头,才能摆脱拖延症,做行动的巨人。打败迷茫和焦虑的,永远是具体的行动。
Starting everything first is the key to getting rid of procrastination and becoming a giant in action. Defeating confusion and anxiety is always concrete action.
