We live in era of multitasking. At any given moment, most of us have a handful of projects on the go.
我们生活在多任务处理的时代。在任何时候，我们大多数人都在进行着几个项目。
And there's always that ONE project we choose to put off until the last minute. It's just inevitable!
总有一项任务被我们推迟到最后一刻才完成。这就是不可避免的！
So, why aren't you getting those projects done? Hmm? Let's look into the research...
所以我们为什么不把这些项目都做完呢？让我们来看看研究...
There's fear of failure.
首先是害怕失败。
Sometimes, those big important tasks are just SO daunting!
有时这些重大任务就是让人怯步！
We don't even know where to begin and inevitably, we leave everything to the last possible moment.
我们甚至无从下手，因此就不可避免地把一切都留到了最后一刻。
A 2012 study finds that, when we fear failure, we are actually desiring control, control of the outcome.
2012年的一项研究发现，当我们害怕失败时，我们实际上是在渴望控制，对结果的掌控。
Ironically, procrastinating gives us a sense of control.
讽刺的是，拖延给了我们一种控制感。
Or, maybe you're the creative type, and ideas just can't be forced.
或者可能是是因为你是创造型的人，想法是不能被强迫出来的。
Everyone knows, artists are a little flaky at times, but their procrastinating nature might actually help their creative juices keep flowing.
人人都知道，艺术家有时有点古怪，但是他们拖延的天性可能会帮助他们的创造力源源不断。
If you're an artist yourself, you probably agree with this. You hate deadlines and you find them only discouraging you from your best work.
如果你是一名艺术家，你可能会同意这一点。你讨厌截止日期，你觉得它们只会阻碍你最棒的作品。
Researchers coin the term, 'Unfinished Tasks' to explain this.
研究人员创造出了“未完成的任务”这个术语来解释这一现象。
See, when we abandon a project and let it stew in our minds for the next few weeks, we get all kinds of new, innovative ideas.
你看，当我们停止一个项目，并且在接下来的几周，让它萦绕在我们脑中，我们会得到各种各样的新的、创新的想法。
If we had simply rushed through the task, and completed it as fast as possible; guess what happens. A creative block.
如果我们只是匆匆完成这项任务，尽可能快的完成它；猜猜结果会怎样？一个创造性僵局。
Creativity cannot be forced. Just a small plug! We also have a video on 'Signs You're A Creative Soul', if you want to check that out later.
创造力不是逼出来的。只是灵光一闪！如果你想稍后看看的话，我们还有一个关于“创意灵魂标志”的视频。
Perhaps, you're a creative soul and you just haven't discovered it yet!
可能你是一个创造性灵魂，只不过你还没有发现！
Up next, perfectionism. We procrastinate because we just don't care.
下一个，完美主义。我们拖延是因为我们不在乎。
We've given up. We've abandoned our projects and say, whatever, right?
我们已经放弃了。我们已经放弃了我们的项目，然后说，随便吧。
According to research, that actually couldn't be further from the truth. Procrastination is linked with perfectionism.
根据研究，这实际上与事实相去甚远。拖延症和完美主义相关。
But this isn't necessarily a good thing. Perfectionism has also been linked with a ton of other issues like, anxiety and depression.
但这并不一定是好事。完美主义一直也和很多其他问题相关，比如焦虑症和抑郁症。
When we go through our projects with a fine-toothed comb, looking for perfection, it takes a real toll on our mental state.
当我们仔细地检查我们的项目，追求完美的时候，我们的精神状态会受到很大的影响。
Once again, this is something we totally relate to! Anyone else? Maybe, you're an evening person.
这与我们息息相关！其他人呢？也许，你是个夜猫子。
Remember those early mornings during high school? Remember how hard it was to focus on pretty much anything?
还记得高中时期，那些早起的清晨吗？还记得要把注意力集中在几乎任何事情上是多么困难吗？
Maybe you're still going through this every morning. In the world of psychology,
也许你每天早上都要经历这些。在心理学中，
this is known as 'Eveningness' which basically means, you're definitley NOT a morning person.
这被称为“夜型人”，这意味着，你绝对不是一个早起的人。
And if you're part of this exclusive club, procrastination might be a big part of your life.
如果你属于这类人，那么拖延症可能是你生活中的一个重要部分。
Studies have shown that undergraduate students who procrastinate are much more likely to exhibit 'Eveningness'.
研究表明，喜欢拖延的大学生更有可能是‘夜型人’。
How many of our viewers wait until the DEAD of the night get started on projects? Well, now you know why!
有多少观众会等到深夜才开始自己的任务？现在你们知道原因啦！
This, perhaps, is linked to creativity, too and focus during the nighttime.
这或许也和创造性相关，在晚上更容易集中注意力。
OR, maybe, you make great decisions.
或者，也许，你做出了好的决定。
Hold on a second, procrastination actually results in better decision making?
等一等，拖延实际上导致更好的决定？
In a book called, 'Wait: The Art of Delay', expert Frank Partnoy, argues that we make the best possible decisions when we wait until the very last second.
在《等待：科学与延迟的艺术》一书中，专家Frank Partnoy认为当我们等到最后一秒时，我们可以做出最好的决定。
In the psychological world, this is called, 'Managing Delay'. Basically, modern studies remind us that procrastination is inevitable.
在心理学中，这被称为“管理延迟”。基本上，现代研究提醒我们拖延是不可避免的。
Instead of avoiding it entirely, we should learn how to procrastinate like a pro!
与其完全避免，我们应该学会如何专家一样拖延！
Or maybe, you struggle with self-doubt. One study linked procrastination with negative self-perception.
或者你在自我怀疑中挣扎。一项研究将拖延症与消极的自我认知联系起来。
When we doubt ourselves, it's very easy to wonder 'what ifs?' and take criticism too hardily.
当我们怀疑自己时，我们很容易就想“如果会怎样....?”并过于苛刻地接受批评。
It's okay to doubt yourself, meaning you're self-aware of your own potential limitations. But don't let this be a reason for your procrastination.
怀疑自己没关系，这意味着你意识到你自己潜在的局限性。但是不要让这成为你拖延的原因。
Or, 7, you don't practice mindfulness. So, what CAN we do to help procrastination?
7. 你没有练习正念。我们可以怎么帮助改善拖延呢？
Research shows that most procrastinators don't practice mindfulness meditation,
研究表明大部分拖延的人不练习正念冥想，
so this simple exercise might really help if you can't seem to get anything done.
所以如果你似乎什么也做不了，这个简单的练习可能真的有用。
We have to admit, this makes total sense after all, mindfulness is all about living in the moment.
我们不得不承认，这是完全有意义的，毕竟正念就是活在当下。
And here and now, and those projects that need to get done here and now!
就是现在，还有那些马上完成的项目！
Mindfulness is definitely trending right now and it seems to work wonders with issues that we all struggle with.
正念绝对是现在的趋势，它似乎对我们都在挣扎的问题起着神奇的作用。
Which of these points did you relate to? Self-doubt? Being a perfectionist? Or all of the above? Comment below and we can ALL unite as procrastinators!
你和以上哪一点相关？自我怀疑？完美主义？还是所有？请在下方评论，作为拖延者，我们可以团结起来！
Remember, the point of this video is not to put down the art of procrastination,
记住，本期视频不是为了羞辱拖延症，
but rather to embrace the many reasons why we DO procrastinate. So that we can develop self-insights to appropriate changes.
而是拥抱造成拖延的各种原因，这样我们才能形成自我洞察力进行适当改变。
