1. Set a 10-minute alarm
设置一个10分钟的闹钟
Multiple Redditors shared some variation on the idea that you should tell yourself you'll only work on the dreaded task for a designated time period - and then you can stop.
你应该告诉自己只需花一定的时间去做那项可怕的任务,然后就可以停下.许多红迪网用户都分享了类似的观点.
Here's an example, from backformore: "I set an alarm for 10 minutes and then see how much I can get done in that time. Usually, it gets me motivated to keep going after the timer goes off, but if it doesn't at least I did something."
下面是网友backformore的例子："我会设置一个10分钟的提醒,然后看自己能在这段时间里完成多少.通常情况下,计时器关闭后我还有动力继续做下去,即使是不想继续了,那也至少做了一些."
2. Find a workaround
寻找变通的方法
Rebecca Martinez talks about "directing your laziness" into innovation. She writes:
网友丽贝卡•马丁内斯提到了"把懒惰化为创意".她写道：
"Being lazy can lead to useful shortcuts and inventions, so find the thing you really want to be lazy about and then come up with a working way to make it easier. Suddenly your laziness is actually productive."
"懒惰可能催生出实用的捷径和发明.因此,找出你最想偷懒的事情,然后想一个更容易的解决方法.这样你的懒惰一下子就变成了创造力."
3. Exercise
运动
Several Redditors highlighted the importance of exercise for beating laziness, particularly when you do it first thing in the morning.
一些红迪网用户强调了运动对于战胜懒惰的重要性,特别是当你早上起床后的第一件事就是做运动时.
As hackday puts it, "Once you get your blood pumping, you will realise that you feel wakeful and energetic instead of sleepy and lethargic. "
在网友hackday看来："当你变得热血沸腾后,你会觉得头脑清醒、精力充沛,而不是昏昏欲睡."
