拖延

Here is an example:

Most often we procrastinate when faced with something we do not want to do.

面对不想做的事情，我们经常拖延。

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you sat down to do an important task，and then you realize that you need a cup of coffee? Or that your computer desk was in need of some serious reorganizing? And then there’s this interesting and funny new episode of “Bigbang Theory” that you must watch right now! And since you’ll be watching a video you might need to eat some snacks to go with it, don't you?

如果你有过以上的症状，那么你可能有拖延症哦

那么有拖延症其实就是说明我们很懒吗？

也不完全是。

Yet, for procrastinators, it is a powerful and often uncontrollable force. Something that wastes valuable time, causes missed deadlines, poor academic and work performance. Worst of all, it contributes to emotional stress, anxiety and guilt.

一旦发现自己的交稿截止日期就要到了，紧张焦虑的情绪就一下子涌过来。整个人都不好了！

然后就会对自己很失望，压力变大。

你有没有过这种体验呢？
