Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
If you have ever had trouble doing things you should do or would like to do, you have experienced procrastination(拖延症). When you procrastinate, instead of working on important meaningful tasks, you find yourself performing meaningless activities.
If you are a procrastinator, perhaps you spend lots of time watching TV, playing video games, checking Facebook, eating, cleaning or walking back and forth through the room. Afterwards, you feel powerless and have the f of guilt and trouble. Once again, you end up doing nothing. Sound familiar?
L people don't do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, however, want to actually do something but can't force themselves to s.
Another fact about procrastination is that it is d from relaxation. Relaxing recharges you with energy. But procrastination makes you not energetic. The less energy you have, the greater the chances of you putting off your responsibilities, and, once more, you will achieve nothing.
My dad always used to say, "Peter, you need to learn how to give yourself orders." I would always answer, "I tell myself what to do, I just don't listen."
Most likely, failure of the ability to listen to o is the main reason. The scientific name of this ability is self-regulation.
Self-regulation is the ability to actively control your emotions. The more developed this ability is, the more often you will do what you tell yourself to do. Good news is it is possible to have self-regulation by t. You need to begin by setting the bar as low as possible. Creating habits isn't about quantity; it's about small steps and regular repetition.
Once you learn a new habit, you can exercise your willpower muscle(肌肉). As you s raise the bar, your willpower will gain strength day by day.
Gradual changes are more pleasant than sudden, great changes. Therefore bigger success can be made.
