这本小书终于跟大家见面啦!在翻译和出版的过程中,每次跟编辑MM提起它,我们都会不由自主地微笑起来,在我们心里,它是个无比可爱的作品。上市这几天来,看到大家在微博上热情的推荐和转发,也都是带着笑意,欢乐多多。一本谈拖延症的薄薄小书,为何如此招人爱? 我觉得原因...
评分“没事拖一拖,生活乐趣多”。 朋友,上面这句“不负责任”的话可不是我说的。我是个低调的拖延症患者,最多只会心里默默嘀咕,不会白纸黑字写出来。写出这句话的人是斯坦福大学的哲学教授约翰•佩里,他不仅是哲学家,还是个资深拖延症。很多年前,他写了一篇名为《结构化...
评分后天能做的事儿,就别赶着明天做了。真没想到马克·吐温也能说出这种话。看来作者的“结构化拖延法”的概括真的是很准确也很具有代表性。 结构化拖延者有很多共同通病,稍微总结一下有以下几种: 1. 会自欺欺人,自我安慰。 2. 是完美主义者 有时一件事没有...
评分这本书内容短小精悍,作者语言又很轻松诙谐,所以非常易读,连我这种不太爱看书的人也很快的读完了。当然还有另外一个原因,那就是,有更重要的事需要我去做……完了,我成结构化拖延者了,哈哈。 刚开始读这本书时没觉得怎样,可读过几页之后发现,天哪,要不要共鸣这么多,...

This is not a book for Bill Gates. Or Hillary Clinton, or Steven Spielberg. Clearly they have no trouble getting stuff done. For the great majority of us, though, what a comfort to discover that we’re not wastrels and slackers, but doers . . . in our own way. It may sound counterintuitive, but according to philosopher John Perry, you can accomplish a lot by putting things off. He calls it “structured procrastination”:
In 1995, while not working on some project I should have been working on, I began to feel rotten about myself. But then I noticed something. On the whole, I had a reputation as a person who got a lot done and made a reasonable contribution. . . . A paradox. Rather than getting to work on my important projects, I began to think about this conundrum. I realized that
I was what I call a structured procrastinator: a person who gets a lot done by not doing other things.
Celebrating a nearly universal character flaw, The Art of Procrastination is a wise, charming, compulsively readable book—really, a tongue-in-cheek argument of ideas. Perry offers ingenious strategies, like the defensive to-do list (“1. Learn Chinese . . .”) and task triage. He discusses the double-edged relationship between the computer and procrastination—on the one hand, it allows the procrastinator to fire off a letter or paper at the last possible minute; on the other, it’s a dangerous time suck (Perry counters this by never surfing until he’s already hungry for lunch). Or what may be procrastination’s greatest gift: the chance to accomplish surprising, wonderful things by not sticking to a rigid schedule. For example, Perry wrote this book by avoiding the work he was supposed to be doing—grading papers and evaluating dissertation ideas. How lucky for us.
回头在看书名里面的art真是意味深长。这本书不是教你如何战胜拖延,而是live with it。让拖延症患者首先高兴起来其实是个挺重要的事,不高兴哪有力气改正呢。书里有很多萌段子,看完真的变成一个快乐的拖延症患者了。。。
评分略微小失望 作者最大的贡献是希望减少我们这些拖延症患者的罪恶感“其实你们并不是什么都没有做的啦”
评分拖延了半个月终于看完了。写一条评论吧。

评分有道理,有闲心读这书的都是在拖其他更重要的事吧……
