不想干活时开始工作的几个技巧
Tricks to start working despite not feeling like it
2020 — 2022，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这篇文章介绍了三个克服拖延、在不想干活时也能开始工作的技巧：直接开始、允许自己“糟糕地开始”、以及把任务拆小。核心思路是降低启动门槛和期待压力，先动起来再说。
为什么经久不衰：拖延是几乎所有人的长期困扰，文中“糟糕地开始”等技巧简单可操作，评论区还补充了 ADHD、倦怠等更深层视角，多年后依然实用。

用“就做一点点”的自我欺骗技巧启动任务，和拖延时用的心理机制相同，只是方向反过来
分享一个技巧：我给自己定了每天早上跑5公里的目标。有几次感觉懒散疲惫，但我还是起床并告诉自己“至少走一走”，结果不知不觉就跑起来了，还跑出了好成绩。既然你能用“再来一局”“再刷一条”骗自己多玩几小时，也可以用同样的自我欺骗用在正事上：“就写一行代码”“就读一行”。把自我欺骗这个工具用在好的方面。

I'd like to share this post[0]: The last two weeks I made it a goal to run 5km every morning. A few times, particularly today, I felt lazy and run down, but I got out of bed anyway and told myself that I'll at least walk. The next thing I know I'm running and feeling amazing and on to set one of my better times. The point: When you tell yourself "just one more game" or "just one more post", or "just one more video" and end up doing 3-5 hours more, do that with your other tasks too! "just one line of code", "just one tutorial", "just one rep", "just one line of reading/writing". We all have this amazing mental tool that we've been honing for years, the tool of self deception. Time to use it for good and not evil. Copied from: [0] - https://www.reddit.com/r/productivity/comments/cdir3g/trick_yourself_into_productivity_the_same_way_you/
刻意糟糕地开始能卸下完美期待的压力，修改烂稿比从零开始容易
“糟糕地开始”这条我常用，也就是所谓的“呕吐稿”。它真的有效——看到一篇很烂的东西如何改进，比面对白纸从零开始容易多了。

>Start sloppy >Another trick to start sloppy - you might have high expectations of your finished work. >You want to write a great book, not just a good one. Or create a stellar artwork, or start a great business. >All those expectations can put more pressure on you than you can bear, leading you to avoid it by procrastinating. >Instead, you can escape those expectations by starting deliberately badly. I use this one a lot. I always heard it called a 'vomit draft'. It really works. It's easier to see how truly terrible thing could be improved than it is to just start working from a blank slate.
提醒读者区分普通拖延和真正的执行功能障碍，后者可能需要专业帮助而非自助文章
拖延是个复杂的怪兽。这类建议有帮助，但只是拼图的一块。“不太想开始所以先放一放”和“非常想开始却怎么也逼不动自己”是两回事。如果你是后者，这可能不是读自助文章能解决的——可能是倦怠、ADHD 或其他执行功能问题，值得认真对待。

Procrastination is a tricky beast. I'm not going to discount advice like this, because it is helpful. But it is only one piece of the puzzle. There's a stark difference between "I don't quite feel like starting this yet, so I'll put it off for a little bit" and "I absolutely want nothing more than to start this but I can't force myself to", between laziness and a genuine inability to begin. Not to give medical advice in the comments section of a web article, but if the latter description describes you, understand that most people don't go through those struggles. This may be an issue that needs more work to solve than reading self-help articles; it may be caused by burn-out or ADHD or some other executive functioning issue. Do look into this is procrastination is something you are constantly struggling with in your life. I wrote [an article][1] about my experiences with procrastination and ADHD, if you're interested in more. I'd also recommend the fantastic [ADHD Alien comics][2] for a nice digestible summary of what ADHD is like. [1]: https://invisibleup.com/articles/27/ [2]: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHDAlien/
引用 Instagram 创始人的“五分钟约定”技巧，与文章思路一致
Instagram 创始人 Kevin Systrom 的建议：如果你不想做某件事，跟自己约定至少做五分钟。五分钟之后，你往往会把整件事做完。

After five minutes, you'll end up doing the whole thing." https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/the-5-minute-hack-instagram-founder-kevin-systrom-uses-to-beat-procrastination.html
