TED演讲——拖延症拖延症者的思维方式到底是什么样的?为什么有些人非要到deadline来的时候才知道打起精神做事情?是否存在执行力强的人或是说人人都有一定程度的拖延症?TimUrban从一个被deadline赶着走的拖延症者的角度带你走进拖延症的神奇思维世界。中英对照翻译Soincollege,Iwasagovernmentmajor,whichmeansIhadtowritealotofpapers.Now,whenanormalstudentwritesapaper,theymightspreadtheworkoutalittlelikethis.So,youknow--yougetstartedmaybealittleslowly,butyougetenoughdoneinthefirstweekthat,withsomeheavierdayslateron,everythinggetsdone,thingsstaycivil.AndIwouldwanttodothatlikethat.Thatwouldbetheplan.Iwouldhaveitallreadytogo,butthen,actually,thepaperwouldcomealong,andthenIwouldkindofdothis.在大学,我读的是政府专业。也就是说,我需要写很多的论文。一般的学生写论文时,他们可能会这样安排:(看图)你可能开头会慢一点,但第一周有这些已经足够。后期再一点点的增加,最后任务完成,非常的有条理。我也想这么做,所以一开始也是这么计划的。我做了完美的安排(看图),但后来,实际上论文任务一直出现,我就只能这样了(看图)。Andthatwouldhappeneverysinglepaper.Butthencamemy90-pageseniorthesis,apaperyou'resupposedtospendayearon.AndIknewforapaperlikethat,mynormalworkflowwasnotanoption.Itwaswaytoobigaproject.SoIplannedthingsout,andIdecidedIkindofhadtogosomethinglikethis.Thisishowtheyearwouldgo.SoI'dstartofflight,andI'dbumpitupinthemiddlemonths,andthenattheend,Iwouldkickitupintohighgearjustlikealittlestaircase.Howhardcoulditbetowalkupthestairs?Nobigdeal,right?我的每一篇论文都是这种情况,直到我长达90页的毕业论文任务,这篇论文理应花一年的时间来做,我也知道这样的工作,我先前的工作方式是行不通的,这个项目太大,所以我制定了计划。决定按照这样的方式工作,这样来安排我这一年。(看图)开头我会轻松一点,中期任务逐渐增加,到最后,我再全力冲刺一下。整体是这种阶梯式安排,一层一层走楼梯有多难?所以没什么大不了的,是吧?Butthen,thefunniestthinghappened.Thosefirstfewmonths?Theycameandwent,andIcouldn'tquitedostuff.Sowehadanawesomenewrevisedplan.Andthen--Butthenthosemiddlemonthsactuallywentby,andIdidn'treallywritewords,andsowewerehere.Andthentwomonthsturnedintoonemonth,whichturnedintotwoweeks.但后来,好笑的事情出现了,头几个月时光匆匆而逝,我还没有来得及动工,所以我们明智的调整了计划。然后,中间的几个月也过去了,我还是一个字也没有动,眨眼就到了这里,然后两个月变成了一个月,再变成了2周。AndonedayIwokeupwiththreedaysuntilthedeadline,stillnothavingwrittenaword,andsoIdidtheonlythingIcould:Iwrote90pagesover72hours,pullingnotonebuttwoall-nighters--humansarenotsupposedtopulltwoall-nighters--sprintedacrosscampus,doveinslowmotion,andgotitinjustatthedeadline.一天我醒来,发现离交稿日期只剩3天了,但我还一个字都没写。我别无选择,只能在接下来的72小时里,连续通宵两个晚上赶论文——一般人不应连续通宵两个晚上。90页赶出来后,我飞速冲过校园,像电影中的特写慢镜头一样,恰好在截止日期前的最后一刻交上。Ithoughtthatwastheendofeverything.ButaweeklaterIgetacall,andit'stheschool.Andtheysay,IsthisTimUrban?AndIsay,Yeah.Andtheysay,Weneedtotalkaboutyourthesis.AndIsay,OK.Andtheysay,It'sthebestonewe'veeverseen.Thatdidnothappen.Itwasavery,verybadthesis.Ijustwantedtoenjoythatonemomentwhenallofyouthought,Thisguyisamazing!No,no,itwasvery,verybad.我以为事情就这么完了,但一周后,我接到一个电话,是学校打来的。他们说:“你是TimUrban吗?”我说:“是。”他们说:“我们要说一说你的毕业论文。”我说:“好啊。”他们说:“这是我见过最棒的论文。”……当然不可能。论文非常非常的差劲。我只想享受下你们对我的崇拜,想听你们说:“这老兄太厉害了。”没有,其实写的非常差劲。Anyway,todayI'mawriter-bloggerguy.IwritetheblogWaitButWhy.Andacoupleofyearsago,Idecidedtowriteaboutprocrastination.Mybehaviorhasalwaysperplexedthenon-procrastinatorsaroundme,andIwantedtoexplaintothenon-procrastinatorsoftheworldwhatgoesonintheheadsofprocrastinators,andwhywearethewayweare.不管怎样,我现在成为了一个博客写手,经营着“waitbutwhy”这个博客。几年前,我决定写写拖延这件事。我的行为方式总让身边非拖延者感到不能理解。我很想对世界上非拖延者的人解释一下,我们拖延症患者的脑子是什么样的,为什么我们会拖延。Now,Ihadahypothesisthatthebrainsofprocrastinatorswereactuallydifferentthanthebrainsofotherpeople.Andtotestthis,IfoundanMRIlabthatactuallyletmescanbothmybrainandthebrainofaprovennon-procrastinator,soIcouldcomparethem.Iactuallybroughtthemheretoshowyoutoday.Iwantyoutotakealookcarefullytoseeifyoucannoticeadifference.Iknowthatifyou'renotatrainedbrainexpert,it'snotthatobvious,butjusttakealook,OK?Sohere'sthebrainofanon-procrastinator.Now...here'smybrain.首先我假设,拖延症患者的大脑实际上和其他人的大脑不一样。为了验证这一点,我找了家核磁共振实验室,给我和另一个确定是非拖延症的人,进行了脑部扫描,我好将二者进行对比,今天我带到现场,给大家展示一下。我希望大家仔细观察,看能不能注意到差异。我知道大家并非专业的大脑专家,较难看出他们的差异,但大家不妨先看一眼,如何?这张是非拖延者的大脑,这张是我的大脑。Thereisadifference.BothbrainshaveaRationalDecision-Makerinthem,buttheprocrastinator'sbrainalsohasanInstantGratificationMonkey.Now,whatdoesthismeanfortheprocrastinator?Well,itmeanseverything'sfineuntilthishappens.[Thisisaperfecttimetogetsomeworkdone.][Nope!]SotheRationalDecision-Makerwillmaketherationaldecisiontodosomethingproductive,buttheMonkeydoesn'tlikethatplan,soheactuallytakesthewheel,andhesays,Actually,let'sreadtheentireWikipediapageoftheNancyKerrigan/TonyaHardingscandal,becauseIjustrememberedthatthathappened.两张是有一点不同,两个大脑都有一个理性决策人,但在拖延症患者的大脑里,还有一个及时行乐的猴子。那这对拖延症患者来说意味着什么呢?这意味着平时没什么异样,但一旦发生了以下的情况,理性的决策人做出理性的决策,要去做一些实际的工作,但猴子不喜欢这个计划,所以他抢过方向盘,说道:“说实话,我们还是去维基百科上查一查NKTH的丑闻吧。”因为我刚想起来还发生过这件事。Then--Thenwe'regoingtogoovertothefridge,toseeifthere'sanythingnewintheresince10minutesago.Afterthat,we'regoingtogoonaYouTubespiralthatstartswithvideosofRichardFeynmantalkingaboutmagnetsandendsmuch,muchlaterwithuswatchinginterviewswithJustinBieber'smom.然后我们会去翻冰箱,看看和十分钟前相比有没有什么新的东西。然后我们去youtobe看一连串的视频,从RichardFeynman谈论磁铁开始,一直到很久很久之后看到一个JustinBieber妈妈的访谈才结束。以上这些事情都得花时间,所以我们今天没有时间再来工作了。Allofthat'sgoingtotakeawhile,sowe'renotgoingtoreallyhaveroomonthescheduleforanyworktoday.Sorry!Now,whatisgoingonhere?TheInstantGratificationMonkeydoesnotseemlikeaguyyouwantbehindthewheel.Helivesentirelyinthepresentmoment.Hehasnomemoryofthepast,noknowledgeofthefuture,andheonlycaresabouttw
