tead of doing your work, you check Facebook or do some on line shopping.This is called procrastination, and it affects everyone.So how can you stop procrastinating?
We often procrastinate because a task seems too big, or impossible to achieve.Try breaking down the task into smaller pieces.For example, instead of thinking,“I need to finish this essay by 10 p.m.tonight ” tell yourself,“I’ m going to make a short outline, fill that in, and then look for quotes.”
Another important factor is your environment, isn’t it? If there are too many distractions in your work space, you may be tempted to procrastinate more.Are there any things in your work space (for example, a TV) that could be causing you to lose focus?
Making a timeline with goals and deadlines is a great way to stop yourself from procrastinating.
However, it is important to make your deadlines realistic so that you can be sure you’ll stick to them.
Some people like to wait for the perfect time to start a task, while the perfect time is often now.Try something called the Two-Minute Rule to help you get started.This idea comes from David Allen’ s best-selling book, Getting Things Done.It states that.if something takes less than two minutes, such as washing your dishes after a meal, then you should do it now.

Business cards are less important in American culture than they are in Asian culture. But knowing the right way to handle business cards is a useful skill wherever you are.
Requesting someone's business card is a straightforward(直截了当的、坦率的)process. You need only say: "Do you have a business card?" or "May I have your business card?"
When you want to present your own card, you can say, "Here's my card. Feel free to call me if you have any other questions." Or, you might say, "Please send the information to this address. I look forward to hearing from you soon."
It's not polite to directly refuse a request from someone for your business card. Instead, you can say, "Sorry, but I'm afraid I'm all out at the moment." or "l forgot to bring them with me."
When you do receive a card, say "Thank you" and examine it briefly before putting it away.
