The Art of Procrastination pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.

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”
评分超级治愈!If you want to stop procrastinating, it may be because you realize that procrastinating is making you unhappy. Perhaps you should go directly to the project of being happy and let procrastination take care of itself. If you want to know what happiness is, you need to go to the philosophers.
评分搞逻辑和语言哲学的教授写什么都好读
评分暑期任务的第一本书,终于搞定了。强迫症,拖延症,追求完美……不重要。更好地认识自己,不要逼自己,肆意享受生活。

在这本书开篇,作者提到他并不是“结构化拖延”的始创者,至少几十年前Robert Benchley就做过这种事情了。 于是Google了一下这位Robert Benchley,果然找到了他在1930年写的一篇拖延弃疗病例。 简单翻译一下,作为这本书的补充/替代阅读材料吧。【反正我写的东西从来也没人看...
评分这种书特别适合看电子版,我是在上下班的地铁车厢里享受完了整本书。估计整个阅读过程我的形象让不少人心里犯嘀咕:一个人聚精会神地对着手机屏幕傻笑,还时不时露出恍然大悟的表情…… 所以说,这种轻松的读物才应该在电子阅读器上被轻松地一笑而过。顺便吐槽下,大部头的书...

评分这本书比较早了,后来又在逻辑思维里听罗胖推荐过,再后来才决定看一看。 看之前已经知道大概内容了,这个老头儿的角度还是挺有意思也挺实在的,看看没有坏处。 老头儿说“不必追求完美”,只要“完成”或者“比完美差那么一点”就可以了。个人结合自己和身边人的例子,深以...
