①The other day, I was waiting for a train—angrily. The train was late, which meant I would be late to meet a friend at the theater. Like many people, I hate being late. However, I often find myself running late. What's the problem? Michaela Thomas, a psychology (心理学) expert, says I'm a "time optimist". "Time optimists" often wrongly predict how long something will take. As a result, they are often late for meetings or rush things at the last minute.
②"Time optimists" usually get into trouble. Their lateness makes people around them angry, and they go through a lot of stress themselves. How can they fix their ways?
③Grace Pacie has written a book about "time optimists". In the book, she says, "Time optimists usually plan to be on time, not ahead of time." So she suggests they should create a pre-event deadline (截止时间). For example, if your dancing class starts at 8 p. m., tell yourself to arrive at 7:30 p. m. She says, "It's important to leave time for things to go wrong. Not all the lights are going to be green."
④But Fuschia Sirois, a psychologist, says that the problem of "time optimists" is not only about their time management, but also about their poor feeling management. Sometimes, people have too much going on with their work and family, and they often go for the easy fix—to procrastinate (拖延). Sirois suggests having a better understanding of your future self. For example, you are up against a deadline, but you are feeling tired and want to put off the task. Ask yourself, "Will I magically be energetic on the second day? If I can't really do it all tomorrow, why not start doing it today?" In fact, that future you will probably feel even more stressed about the task when it's late.
a. setting a pre-event deadline b. putting off the tasks
c. knowing better about your future self d. planning to be on time
