People spend most of their time focussed on the present,which makes perfect sense because the present is now, and for sure.Unfortunately, many things that are quite important about the futurerequire that we start doing things now rather than waiting for later to happen.Things like saving for retirement, studying for college entry exams, revising papers, preparing for work reports. Unfortunately, waiting till later means that we won’t have much time.
人们大部分时间都关注于现在,这很有道理,因为当下是可以确定的。不幸的是,很多关乎未来非常重要的事情,要求我们现在就着手做,而非等待着它发生。例如为退休存钱、为大学入学考试努力学习、修改论文、准备工作报告等。不幸的是,等到以后再做意味着我们就没有那么多时间去完成了。
So, we are too focussed on the present, and reluctant to engage in tasks that relate to the future. Why’s that, Rob?
所以,我们太关注于现在,不愿意去做与未来相关的任务。为什么呢?
Well, like Professor Oyserman says, things in the future may never happen – or seem too far off for you to take seriously.For example, when you’re young, sorting out a pension plan doesn’t feel like a priority– or something that’s more important than other things.
就如Oyserman教授所说,未来的事也许永远不会发生,也许相隔太远你还不看重。例如你还年轻,准备养老金这种事肯定不会优先考虑,priority是指一些事比另一些事重要。
But according to a new study, if you think about time in smaller units – so days, for example, rather than months or years– you are likely to start a task more quickly.
但是一项新研究显示,如果你将时间分为更小的单位,例如几天,而不是几个月几年,你就能更快的开始一项任务。
So, this weekend I wasted two days…
所以这周末我浪费了两天。
Or 2,880 minutes.
或者说2880分钟。
That does sound more urgent, when you put it like that.
如果这样算,确实听上去更紧急。
Yes. And you need to minimize – or reduce – distractions. Turn off your tech and knuckle down to your tasks, Rob.
你要将干扰因素降至最小。关掉你的高科技工具,开始认真完成任务。
To knuckle down, by the way, means to start working hard.But Alice, sometimes it’s hard to knuckle down to a taskwhen you don’t know how to start it – or you’re scared to start it – or sometimes just because you know it’s going to be really tedious – and that means boring.
knuckle down是指开始努力工作。但是爱丽丝,有时很难认真完成任务,当你不知道如何开始或害怕开始,或你知道任务很无聊的时候。
Yes. So what’s your excuse, Rob?
所以你的借口是什么呢?
