Research Articles | A little procrastination is good.

A few days ago, npy posted on Xiaohongshu that she is now trying to quit procrastination and prepare for the exams, and of course, I support her.

Then I realized that the word “procrastination” is quite interesting. Some people attribute procrastination to their own personality, habits and so on, in fact, I think these are all excuses, the most important thing is “motivation” and “courage”, and we must look at a problem dialectically, there are always two sides.

Procrastination was labeled as “inefficiency” and “undisciplined” in the mind of the King of Scrolls, but now I feel thatA little procrastination isn’t necessarily a bad thing., even, it may be a wisdom in life.

There are times when we procrastinate because subconsciously we feel that certain tasks are not that important. Psychologist Piers Steele suggests that procrastination is essentiallyA mechanism for weighing priorities. If something doesn’t mean much to us, or the reward isn’t clear enough, procrastination might just be the brain’s self-protection mechanism. For example, I’m pretty much procrastinating on replying to messages right now, within 24 hours if normal. Of course, for the more important people you’ll still see a second reply, for many lazy replies you probably just won’t reply again because you forgot to reply in the first place.

Some tasks, after being delayed for a few days, may “disappear” because they are not that important in the first place or because they are not that important in the first place.Whoever’s in a hurry can do it themselves.(Master typing a subject separation) that simply wouldn’t wait for me. Learning to reassess the importance of a task in the midst of procrastination is actually a form of time management wisdom.

Procrastination, in fact, has the added benefit of inspiring creativity, and one can be as bold as one dares to procrastinate. It’s not always said that college is “One night to perform a miracle. If not, two.“. When I’ve worked on projects before, I’ve also saved up until a certain weekend to raid, and sometimes it’s quite useful. Procrastinators are probably best at “making a hasty last-minute effort“. While such a sprint mode may seem stressful, there’s no denying that this tension can also inspire human potential. Many people have had this experience: usually procrastinate the task, but in the last few hours of intense focus in the completion of a particularly good. This is because the sense of urgency that comes with procrastination makes it easier for people to enter a state of “mind flow”, focus quickly, and block out distractions.

Of course, procrastination to procrastinate, but can not really nothing, after all, everyone has their own “life forced”, such as exams, landing, complete the task, etc., procrastination, you can drag a little bit, but can not drag too much. Especially can not escape!

A lot of times.Procrastination stems from fear of the task. If the task is broken down into smaller parts, the subsequent actions become much easier after the first step is completed. If you do not want to start the work directly, then do some related preparatory work. For example, organizing information, learning from experience, these seemingly “fish” behavior, in fact, is also paving the way for the subsequent completion.

For me, procrastinating in moderation may be a way to be kind to yourself and not to feel guilty for procrastinating – look at it another way, maybe you’re just making life a little more resilient and wise.

After all.Life is not meant to be filled with schedules.Why is procrastination not a fun way to steal a few moments of your life?

Mid-December have to go to Shanghai to participate in the application assessment, I feel a little time collision, I do not know whether the graduation defense can be coordinated time (after all, our department is only one or I and a buddy in the next lab), the most afraid of time conflicts split up.

Recently talked about the future of employment-related topics, Beijing should not come, unless the give too much even to my entire family’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged, or where to live is not alive, where when the cattle and horses are not cattle and horses, have to come to Beijing so the involution and internal friction to do what, or to the downward compatibility to do a fish can be touching the days of the cattle and horses is more comfortable. The Beijing account is not attractive to me at all, and I can consider a salary of several hundred w per year while groping for fish (whose urine is sweet, hurry up and wake me up!). The following are some of the things that you can do to make your life easier.
