我们来看一段相关的英文报道

Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of people suffer from it. They can spend whole days doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, or surfing the Internet.

With a mountain-like load of work waiting to crush you under its weight, you cannot afford to waste time.

The first step to correct your procrastinating tendencies is to ascertain the activities that tempt you to distraction. Once you know your evils, you will find the initiative to keep away from these activities.

Besides, you don't need to constantly check your phone for emails, or missed calls when you should be busy working. Avoid all distractions if you want to be able to focus on your work.

拖延症就像偷窃时光的小偷，令许多人深受其害。他们整天无所事事，只是发呆、吃零食、或者上网。

面对堆积如山的任务，在如此重压之下，你再也不能浪费时间了。

改善拖延症的第一步就是要确定分散你注意力的行为有哪些。一旦知道了问题所在，你就会自动克制这些行为了。

此外，你忙时根本不用一直看手机，生怕错过一封邮件或一个电话。想要集中精力干活，就排除一切的干扰吧。
