拖延症剋星 Procrastination Breaker
Paul Graham 在 How to do great work 一文中提到，生活中常出現兩種性質的拖延，第一種是根據時限的拖延（Per-day procrastination），另一種則是根據專案的拖延（Per-Project procrastination）。他認為後者對達成 Great Work 而言非常危險，很容易隨著處理假性工作而拖延，隨後被淡忘，甚至被動地取消原定計畫。可怕的是，等注意到就已經太遲了。而 Paul Graham 認為最好的解套方法是，時常自問一個關鍵問題「我在做我最想做的事情嗎？Am I working on what I most want to work on?」
In “How to Do Great Work,” Paul Graham mentions two types of procrastination that often occur in life: per-day procrastination and per-project procrastination.
He believes the latter is very dangerous for achieving Great Work, as it’s easy to procrastinate with current tasks, then forget or passively cancel the original plans. What’s frightening is that by the time you notice, it’s already too late.
Paul Graham thinks the best way to escape this trap is to frequently ask oneself a key question:
"Am I working on what I most want to work on?"
