La rutina de Boris

Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,
And wash my Body whence the Life has died,
And in the Windingsheet of Vine-leaf wrapt,
So bury me by some sweet Garden-side.

چون درگذرم به باده شویید مرا

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【拖延症】的话题。
大家知道什么是拖延症吗？这里有一些拖延症的表现，一起来看看是不是你吧。
第一，非常爱睡懒觉，早上起床需要设很多个闹钟。特别是周末的时候，可能按掉最后一个闹钟以后干脆放弃早起的念头，继续睡到大中午。
第二，每天告诉自己要早睡，但是睡前一直玩手机。每次都告诉自己，再玩半个小时就去睡了。半个小时过去了，又告诉自己，再玩十分钟吧。第二天很困很累，告诉自己今天晚上一定要早点睡。但是同样的事情又发生了，每天都是这样。
第三，下定决心要运动，但是计划拖了一天又一天也没有开始。或者是运动了几天就坚持不了，看到美食就忍不住大吃大喝。每次吃完就告诉自己，明天我要开始运动了。到了第二天，又有各种借口不运动了。
第四，本来计划好了要做一件事情，但是很容易被其他的小事情分散注意力。做没一会儿就想起来要去泡杯咖啡，或者玩会儿手机。总觉得待会再做问题不大，但是一眨眼半天的时间就没了。
看完这些拖延症的表现，我发现自己中枪了（被说中了）。这说的不就是我吗？不过我也有不拖延的时候，一般是我有很明确的目标要做一件事情的时候。这个时候我可以很投入，经常觉得时间过得很快，到了吃饭的时候也不愿意停下来。心理学上把这种状态叫做“心流”，英语叫做Flow。还有一个好方法是，把大的目标分成很多个小目标，这样才更容易开始改变。例如我想早点睡觉，那我可以每天早睡10分钟，慢慢地改变。
你觉得你有拖延症吗？你的解决方法是什么？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

拖延症 Procrastination

In this short dialogue we will listen to a couple discussing the time. Pay attention to different phrases they use to tell time!

Transcript: 
NATASHA: What time is it? We’re going to be late!
TONY: It’s a quarter after seven. We’re on time. Don’t panic.
NATASHA: But I thought we had to be at the restaurant by 7:30 for the surprise party. We’ll never make it there with all this evening traffic.
TONY: Sure we will. Rush hour is almost over. Anyway, the party starts at 8:00. But I do need help with directions. Can you call the restaurant and ask them where we park our car?
