20．Getting to Now：How to Beat the Procrastination Habit
I am a procrastinator（拖拉者）．I always have been．I've tried all sorts of things to beat the habit．Here are some techniques I've been using to try to force myself to get to now：
Set aside blocks of time to do things．When I was talking with my wellness coach earlier this year，she asked me why I didn't exercise more often．"（36）D，"I said．"Something always comes up．"She wasn't impressed．"J．D．，"she said，"You have to make time．Make an appointment with yourself to run or to go for a bike ride．"The same principle applies to other things you might procrastinate．
（37）C．Often I'll be sitting on the back porch reading a book，and it will occur to me that some chore needs to be done-mending the fence，for example．"（38）G，"I tell myself．Wrong!What usually happens is that I forget to write it down，and even if I do，I just look at the list and procrastinate for weeks on end．The best move is to actually do the chore when I think of it．（Assuming，of course，that I have the time at that moment，which I usually do．）
Use a timer to bring you back to reality．Part of the reason I procrastinate is that I'm a day dreamer．（39）A．One way to keep on track is to use a timer．I use the Ultrak Jumbo Countdown Timer，but not as often as I should．I set it for 48minutes．When it goes off，（40）E：Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing？
Do not multitask．I often start many things at once，but I never actually do any of them．In order for me to get something done，I need to focus my attention on it．Trying to do several things at once is a sure way to be sure they'll all be unfinished tomorrow．

Follow these five tips to avoid the common mistakes that make good roommate relationships worse．
Talk things out．（57）B． If something happens，sit down with your roommates and have a face-to-face conversation．Complaining about your roommates behind their backs creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness．
（58）A． Some roommates become the best of friends，and some don't．Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level，especially when you first meet．Remember，you are trying to make a new friend，not scare your roommate away．And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend，there is no need to worry about it．
Clean up after yourself．Or at least，keep your mess on your side．（59）C． But being considerate with where you put your own stuff will help you avoid the arguments．

4．Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room？In 2040 it will not matter．They will turn themselves off and on again when you return．You will choose the temperature for each room，the lighting and the humidity（湿度）．A sensor（感应器）will find the presence of a human（and，with luck，ignore the dog!） and turn the systems on，and when the humans leave，it will turn them off again．
The sensors will work through the central home computer，and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you．They will find faulty electrical appliances（用品），plugs or switches，separate them so that they cannot harm anyone，and then warn you that they need repair．They will detect fire and if you are out of the house，the computer will call the firefighters．It will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic．You will open them using your personal card-the one you use for shopping-maybe using a number known only to you．
It will be impossible to lose the key，and a housebreaker will have to tamper（胡乱摆弄）with the lock or with a window．It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer．
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant．It will be an entertainer，and most of your entertainment will come right into your home．It does now，of course，but by 2040"entertainment（娱乐）"will mean much more．For one thing，you will be able to take part actively，rather than just watching．

Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc．Then decide a good，regular time for studying．（27）BA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
