Never Put off Until Tomorrow What You Can Do Today

  Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn't? But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time.Here's why…

1.________.The task will be still the same.It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it.As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work.And the stress increases.Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure.

2.________.Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished.But you know what? You're probably miscalculating.Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you'll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought.Result? You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to.Things are guaranteed-100 percent-to get better.

3.________.If you leave your work until the night before it's due, you give up

the possibility of getting input from your professor.Professors regularly give advice -or at least a few useful tips-during office hours.Unfortunately v though, they don't usually hold office hours at midnight, so you'll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.

4.________.Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it's due? It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks.No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time.After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking.Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it.When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked.And your professor will know it.

5.________.If you put things off till the last minute 9 you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks.It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test.If you keep delaying, you don't allow yourself time for those various Life events that have an adverse(不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

  Wouldn’t it be great to get paid not to work? This isn’t just a dream at companies that offer sabbaticals(休假).Employers say they’re a valuable way to give their workers a change of scenery and prevent them from being tired out.Unfortunately, only 3% of companies offer paid sabbaticals(带薪休假)(12% offer unpaid), according to the Society for Human Resource Management(SHRM).But even if you’re not lucky enough to work for one of them, you can still enjoy a break.Three choices:

  Chunk of Time.To get a longer break than normal, save long weekends for vacation time, delay your days off till need year, borrow some time from next year to use now, or use extra time off for overtime hours, suggests Bonnie Michaels, president of the Society.

  Unpaid Time.If your family has no money problem, ask for a longer leave without pay.“But do your homework first, ” says Michaels.Research the costs for your break, plan your break at a time during which your company is not operating if possible, then be business-like and present your leave proposal so that your manager will believe that you’ll work better if you are more energetic after the leave.

  No Time.Just can’t get away? Read How to Take a Sabbatical Without Taking More than a Week Off(Simon & Schuster), by Pare Ammondson, which shows an eight-week program to renew your energy and reduce your stress even while you’re working.

C.
