必须戒掉的坏习惯

Putting off your most important work until later in the day

把一天最重要的工作往后推

People often start off their day by completing easy tasks to get themselves rolling, and leave their more difficult work for later. This is a bad idea, and one that frequently leads to the important work not getting done at all.

一天开始时，人们总先挑简单的事情去完成，让自己进入状态，并把难做的工作往后推。这不是个好主意，经常会导致更重要的工作做不完。

As researchers have found, people have a limited amount of willpower that decreases throughout the day, so it's best to get your hardest, most important tasks done at the beginning of the day.

研究人员发现，人们在一天中的意志力有限，而且逐渐耗尽。所以最好一天开始时就去做最困难、最重要的工作。
