John Perry is an emeritus professor of philosophy at Stanford University and currently teaches at UC Riverside.
He is the co-host of the nationally syndicated public radio program Philosophy Talk, and winner, in 2011, of an Ig Nobel Prize in Literature for the essay “Structured Procrastination.” He lives with his wife in Palo Alto, California.
This is not a book for Bill Gates. Or Hillary Clinton, or Steven Spielberg. Clearly they have no trouble getting stuff done. For the great majority of us, though, what a comfort to discover that we’re not wastrels and slackers, but doers . . . in our own way. It may sound counterintuitive, but according to philosopher John Perry, you can accomplish a lot by putting things off. He calls it “structured procrastination”:
In 1995, while not working on some project I should have been working on, I began to feel rotten about myself. But then I noticed something. On the whole, I had a reputation as a person who got a lot done and made a reasonable contribution. . . . A paradox. Rather than getting to work on my important projects, I began to think about this conundrum. I realized that
I was what I call a structured procrastinator: a person who gets a lot done by not doing other things.
Celebrating a nearly universal character flaw, The Art of Procrastination is a wise, charming, compulsively readable book—really, a tongue-in-cheek argument of ideas. Perry offers ingenious strategies, like the defensive to-do list (“1. Learn Chinese . . .”) and task triage. He discusses the double-edged relationship between the computer and procrastination—on the one hand, it allows the procrastinator to fire off a letter or paper at the last possible minute; on the other, it’s a dangerous time suck (Perry counters this by never surfing until he’s already hungry for lunch). Or what may be procrastination’s greatest gift: the chance to accomplish surprising, wonderful things by not sticking to a rigid schedule. For example, Perry wrote this book by avoiding the work he was supposed to be doing—grading papers and evaluating dissertation ideas. How lucky for us.
刚读完约翰•佩里的《拖拉一点也无妨》,拖延到现在都没有睡的我觉得有必要来写一篇读后感。 正如作者在后记里说的,写这本书的目的不是让拖延症患者改掉拖延症,而是让他们感觉好一点儿,当然包括他自己。 作者就是一位重度拖延症,流露于字里行间的拖延症气息让同为拖延...
评分首先,当你打开这本书之前,卤煮希望你确定一件事,那就是你并不是抱着“我要治好我的拖延症”的心态去看的。关于拖延症的书有很多种,其中可以分为两类,一类是让你治疗的,譬如如果你已经点开了这篇书评你一定已经很熟悉的《拖延心理学》,另一种便是让你放弃治疗的,譬如这...
评分寫在前面的話 ======= 寫這篇小文的時間,距離我讀這本書已經有不短的時間了。當初讀書的時候沒有記筆記,寫作的過程中也沒有回去參考原書。文中僅僅最后一部分與原書緊密相關,其他部分為自己閱讀“拖延癥”主題圖書的心得。 以上。 人為什么會拖延? ======= 一件事情會...
评分“没事拖一拖,生活乐趣多”。 朋友,上面这句“不负责任”的话可不是我说的。我是个低调的拖延症患者,最多只会心里默默嘀咕,不会白纸黑字写出来。写出这句话的人是斯坦福大学的哲学教授约翰•佩里,他不仅是哲学家,还是个资深拖延症。很多年前,他写了一篇名为《结构化...
Live with it :)
评分最有用的无非就是让自己意识到自己到底为什么会procrastinate,但是对于如何对付它,并无什么卵用
