You might have heard the saying “procrastination is the thief of time.” When you want more hours in the day, procrastination can be a real problem. A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, updating your Facebook status, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
也许你曾听过这样的说法“拖延是窃取时间的贼”。当你想要更多的时间，那拖延真的是一个问题。几分钟的闲谈，浏览网页，更新脸谱网的状态，如此种种都会轻易地就把一天时间浪费过去了。
When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to tackle.
当你在工作的时候，那就工作。如果你走神了，那就休息一下：去喝杯水，或者散散步等等。如果你面对一项艰难的任务，试着把它分解成几个小步骤或阶段，这样完成它就比较容易。
