给拖延症建筑师的建议
Advice For Procrastinator Architects
由专筑网缕夕，李韧编译
脸上表情如多种emoji替换。检查食物是否每隔十分钟就会在冰箱里出现、通过颜色有效地在书架上放置书籍、重命名你的计算机的文件夹，简而言之，我们似乎在进行任何无关紧要的事项，以避免开始阅读、写论文、做模型或项目。拖延到现在，稍后再工作。毕竟，未来的自己会解决没做完的事。
当我们在经历漫长而艰巨的工程时，我们都可能拖延再拖延，以逃避我们的下一个任务。我们不仅逃避在办公室或大学工作室的工作任务，还要逃避那些个人差事，如果我们专注于自己的工作，那么会大大提升我们的日常生活质量。下面，根据我们自己的经验和专家意见，为了避免在办公室花费时间去做周围的其他工作，我们提出10个建议，帮助拖延症人士更专注于你现在应该做的场地分析图！
Scrolling through memes of cats in disguise. Checking if food has magically appeared in your refrigerator every ten minutes. Obsessively arranging books on your shelf by color. Renaming your computer's folders. In short, we seem to thrive on any irrelevant activity to avoid starting a reading, essay, model, or project. Procrastinate now, work later. Your future self can take care of business, after all.
As we suffer through long and strenuous projects, it is likely that we have all slipped into procrastination in order to avoid our next task. Not only do we avoid confronting work at the office or university studio, but also those personal errands which, if we dedicated ourselves, would enhance our daily lives. Below, based on our own experiences and expert opinion, and in order to avoid a host of other jobs around the ArchDaily office, we present 10 tips for architecture procrastinators, helping you to focus on the site analysis diagrams you should probably be doing right now!

1.不要等待好心情的到来。去做就对了！
有多少次在寻找完美的环境之后才开始关注你的“工作列表”？你要找一张宽阔的桌子，一张舒适的椅子和柔和的灯光。难道咖啡不会让你工作效率更高吗？你又会听什么音乐？经过半小时的精心制作完美的卡布奇诺咖啡和编排好的播放列表，你最终将忘记你的工作计划，因为你从未认真面对它。
卡尔顿大学（渥太华）的加拿大心理学家Timothy Pychyl在“世界经济论坛 ”关于拖延的文章中说，我们认为自己的思想状态必须适应我们正在做的活动。“我必须承认我很少有意识准备去做下一件事，我认为这些并不重要。”他解释说。
他建议，不是专注于你的情绪，而是专注于你的下一个任务。
1. Do not expect to be in the mood. Just do it.
How many times have began your 'to do list' by looking for the perfect environment to work in? You look for a wide table, a comfortable chair, and soft lighting. Wouldn't coffee make you work faster? What music will you listen to? After half an hour of crafting the perfect cappuccino and composing the ultimate study playlist, you end up discarding your work plan because you never had the necessary frame of mind to face it.
Timothy Pychyl, a Canadian psychologist and academic at Carleton University (Ottawa), in a World Economic Forum article regarding procrastination, says that we are deceived into believing that our state of mind must fit the activity we are doing. "I must admit that I rarely feel [ready to do my next task], and it does not matter if I do not feel it." he explains.
Instead of focusing on your emotions, focus on your next task, he advises.

2.将较大的任务分成小块。
“拥有世界上最大的建筑公司”是一个过于简单的想法，但实际上，它需要几个小步骤，而不是一个大飞跃。没有细分目标，就计划拥有世界的公司难道不荒谬吗？同样的原则也适用于你的工作任务——千里之行始于足下。
研究表明，拖延症往往与不良情绪有关。当一项任务令人生畏或有压迫感的时候，人们更容易去看自己喜欢的电视剧来放松自己。Pynchyl表示，一个很好的方法是将你的任务分解成几个小步。每完成一个步骤都将使你感觉更好，这样当你面对下一个阶段的时候这些会增加你的自信心。
2. Break larger tasks into small pieces.
'Owning the world's largest architecture firm' is an overly simple idea, but in reality, it requires several smaller steps rather than one large leap. Doesn't it sound ridiculous to plan on owning the world's firm, without a broken-down vision about how do achieve it? The same principle applies for your workshop assignment - the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Procrastination is often associated with bad emotions, studies have suggested. When a task is daunting or overwhelming, it becomes much easier to postpone it with GIFs of your favorite TV series. Pynchyl suggests that a good step is to break your tasks into small steps. Each completed step will make you feel better and increase your self-esteem as you face the next stage.

3.设定期限。
你花几个月几个月写的工作论文，当你将它提交后，你可能会想“如果我有更多的时间，我会做得更与众不同”。当然，这个世界上所有的时间都能用来做这个项目那就好了。那些你从未实现过的工作想法也同样如此，因为你总是觉得可以再留一天！游泳课上发生了什么事？旅行中的世界又是怎么样？有一天你会开始上路，但不是现在吧？
通过不设定期限，你的想法将始终保持在你的头脑中，但可能始终未能开始。想想你的计划，并设定一个截止日期，分阶段和小步骤完成。这并不能确保成功，但它将为你提供具体的、可实现的长期目标。
3. Define deadlines.
After months of working on your thesis, you are within hours of the delivery and you think "if I had more time, I would have done so much of this differently." Of course, it would be wonderful to have all the time in the world to worry only about this one project. The same goes for all your long-term ideas that you have never materialized ... because you always felt as though it can be left for another day! What happened to those swimming lessons? What about traveling the world? Someday you'll start, but not now, right?
By not defining deadlines, your ideas will always stay in your mind, but may not be enacted. Think about your plans and set a deadline, accomplishing them in stages and small steps. It may not ensure success, but it will provide you with a specific, achievable long-term goal.

4.计划你的日历。
想做点计划但又不想使用app？现在是时候认识 Bullet Journal（子弹日记）了，这是由设计师Ryder Carroll创建的一个非常简单的系统。你只需要铅笔和纸张，与其他方法不同，“子弹日记”结构简单明了。
Bullet Journal通过任务（。），Notes（ - ）和事件（°）的形式，在一个学期、每月、每周和每天查看项目状态。当你完成日常活动时，就将其删除。如果你没有完成，你可以推迟它们（>），如果你拖延了很久，你就会意识到这项任务并不重要，或者有必要重新描述或将其划分为一系列更具体的活动。
进步的感觉总是令人满意，但是如果你的任务繁杂，那么你可能永远都不会知道那种感觉，因为总有别的事要做。Bullet Journal让人从解决任务中获得满足感。
4. Plan your calendar.
Want to plan without using apps? It's time to meet Bullet Journal, a very simple system created by designer Ryder Carroll. You will only need pencil and paper, and unlike other methods where they ask you to adapt to them, Bullet Journal is easy and clear to structure.
Bullet Journal allows you to view the status of your projects in a semester, monthly, weekly and daily, as tasks (.), Notes (-) and events (°). As you complete your daily activities, you delete them. If you do not reach it, you can postpone them (>), and if you delay it a lot, you will probably realize that it is not relevant, or it is necessary to rephrase or divide it into a sequence of more specific activities.
The feeling of progress is always satisfactory, but if you multitask, you may never know that feeling, because there is always something else to do. Bullet Journal makes a difference.

5.不要将Whats App的帐户连接到计算机。决不。
如果社交网络让你在工作时分散注意力，那么将你的Whats App帐户添加到你的计算机并不是一个好主意。当你终于适应工作的节奏时，你朋友发来的一个表情，会破坏你的动力。
分隔空间很重要：就像睡觉、吃午饭和睡觉一样。如果将其与太多的活动相关联，那么想有效地使用这段时间就变得更加困难。
5. Do not connect your WhatsApp account to your computer. Never.
If social networks distract you while you work, adding your WhatsApp account to your computer is not a good idea. When you finally get into the rhythm of working, a badly timed yet hilarious meme from a friend can destroy your momentum.
It is important to separate spaces: it is like sleeping, having lunch and studying in bed. It becomes much more difficult to effectively use a room or an object if you associate it with too many activities.

6.关闭手机上的WiFi。如果紧急，他们会打电话给你。
想着“如果有人需要我呢？”，那么你可能会因没有登录社交软件而感到紧张。其实很简单：你的手机离开互联网，只有当你休息时才连接。如果紧急，他们会打电话给你。如果你真的希望你的工作效率提高的话，把你的手机放在飞行模式。
Whatsapp发送给你可以稍后再看。
6. Turn off WiFi on your phone. If it is urgent, they will call you.
You may be nervous about temporarily disowning Whatsapp on your computer, thinking "What if someone needs me?", The answer is simple: leave your cell phone without the internet and connect only when you give yourself a break. If it is urgent, they will call you. If you really want your work ethic to take off and soar, put your phone in flight mode.
That meme that was sent to you by Whatsapp can wait.

7.将紧急事项与重要事项分开。
Tim Urban自称是“专业拖延症患者”，还是博客Wait But Why的创建者，他表明拖延症患者也有不同类型（有些人看电视剧，有些人清理房间），但是他们都没有专注于他们的长期目标。太多人将长期重要的紧急事项放在首位。
在Eisenhower Matrix的支持下，Urban表明我们应该把时间花在真正有价值的地方，即“重要和紧急”（一套客户明天要的图纸）和“重要但不紧急”（例如，获得普利兹克奖），Urban 的说法是“人们茁壮成长，蓬勃发展”。
我们可以预料到除了到截止日期之前，大多数拖延症患者都将精力投入到“紧急而不重要”的事情上。
7. Separate the urgent from the important.
Self-described "professional procrastinator" Tim Urban, creator of the blog Wait But Why, suggests that there are different types of procrastinators (some are distracted by watching GIFs and others cleaning their room), but none of them focus on their long-term goals. Too many people prioritize momentary urgency over long-term importance.
Supported by the Eisenhower Matrix, Urban states that we should spend our time on what is really valuable, that is, on "important and urgent" (a set of drawings for tomorrow's client) and on "important but not urgent" (winning the Pritzker Prize, for example), because that's where, according to Urban, "people thrive, grow and flourish."
Unsurprisingly, most procrastinators spend their energies on the "urgent and not important," apart from when deadlines are looming.

8.根据你的能力安排你的工作周和时间。
人们常常要求自己每天工作24小时、每周7天，这不切实际，但我们知道有时候有些工作在有的时间段的完成效率会更高一些。可能是早晨到下午，或者是在下午到晚上。当我们精力充沛的时候这个星期会过得很快，在周末即将来临之际我们会看到任务快要完成的曙光。为了更有精力工作，我们应当把时间分配到最重要和最紧迫的任务上，让你的脑袋和身体适时放松也非常重要。
8. Structure your week and your times according to your abilities.
It is unrealistic to ask that we be efficient 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but we do know that there are times when some work better than others. It may be early mornings through to the afternoon, or early afternoon through to the evenings. It may be earlier in the week when we have more energy, or closer to the weekend when we can see the finishing line. Allocate the most important and urgent tasks for your peak performance hours, leaving more trivial, monotonous tasks for when your mind and body need a chance to cool down.

9.面对失败带来的恐惧。
是的，这个标题听起来好像直接来自于Yoda博士，但事实是这样的：拖延症和完美主义通常携手并进。生产力顾问 Julie Morgenstern 向“纽约时报”解释说，到最后一刻，完美主义者有一个完美的借口：他们没有足够的时间。如果你不工作，就无法法对它进行评价，所以你无法遇见错误的产生。这是一个不完整的逻辑。
在这方面，公司教员 Rory Vaden 解释说：“最有成效的人倾向于把重点放在完美的进步中。正如你所知，在所有项目中，初稿与最终项目有很大区别。人生的道路漫长，同时也充满纠缠、错误、成功和毅力。正如Yoda会说的那样，“是与不是，不在于尝试”。
9. Face the fear of failure
Yes, this title sounds as though it came direct from Master Yoda, but it's true: procrastination and perfectionism usually walk hand in hand. Productivity consultant Julie Morgenstern explains to The New York Times that waiting until the last minute gives perfectionists the perfect excuse: they did not have enough time. If you do not get to work, you cannot be critiqued on tangible ideas, and thus you postpone the possibility of being wrong. It's a flawed logic.
In this regard, corporate coach Rory Vaden explains that "the most productive people tend to focus on progress over perfection." As you we know, in all projects, the first drafts will differ greatly from the final project. The road is long and full of entanglements, mistakes, successes and a lot of perseverance. As Yoda would say, "do or do not, there is no try."

10.在工作时集中精力。
在《日常仪式》一书中 ，作家梅森•柯里（Mason Currey）探讨了我们社会伟大思想的惯例。例如像柴可夫斯基或贝多芬那样优先考虑精力集中；或是像如弗兰克•劳埃德•赖特（Frank Lloyd Wright） 和柯布西耶（Le Corbusier）那样努力挤出时间工作，他们都建立了自己的时间表，并且尽可能完美地完成工作，这些都给他们带来努力工作的动力。
当你认真工作时，集中力必然会在某个时刻出现。这是最好的建议。
10. Concentration comes while you work.
In the book Daily Rituals, author Mason Currey explores the routines of the great minds of our society. Whether prioritizing long walks to concentrate like Tchaikovsky or Beethoven; Organizing strenuous working days like Frank Lloyd Wright, or painting naked like Le Corbusier, they all built their schedules in order to do the best work possible, for the passion that finally pushes them to work.
When you work, concentration will inevitably come at some point. That is the best advice.
