英语翻译
Many days seem to bring numerous tasks and responsibilities.All of which apparently must be tackled right away.You spend a day putting out files,but by the end of the day,you haven’t accomplished any of the really important things you set out to do.In desperation,you draft a “to-do” list,but most days,you can make little progress with it.When you look at the list each morning,a big fat cloud of doom is right at the top.Those difficult,complex,important tasks,that are so crucial to get done,and so easy to avoid.Plenty of us create a “to-do” list to address feelings of being overwhelmed,but we rarely use these tools to their best effect.They wind out being guilt-provoking reminders of the fact that will over-committed and losing control of our priorities.According to Timothy Pikle,a professor of psychology at Carlton University in Ottawa,people often draw up a “to-do” list,and then that’s it.The list itself becomes the day’s achievement,allowing us to feel we’ve done something useful without taking on any real work.In fact,drawing up the list becomes a way of avoiding the work itself.Too often,the list is seen as the accomplishment for the day,reducing the immediate guilt of not working on the tasks at hand by investing energy in the list,says Pikle.When a list is used like this,it’s simply another way in which we lie to ourselves.

这些天似乎又来了很多任务和责任.所有的这一切明显必须马上处理了.你花了一天的时间处理文档,但是,这天的结尾,你没完成计划做的事情中的任何一件重要的事情.无可奈何,你列了一份待办事宜的清单,但是,大多数的日子里,你难以由于它而取得一点进展.每一个早晨,当你看着这个待办事宜的清单,一股强烈的不祥之感首先浮现出来.这些重要又繁杂艰难的任务,是如此难以完成,但又是如此容易去回避.我们中许多人创建了待办事宜的清单,用以陈述清楚我们不知所措的思绪,但是我们很少把这些工具的作用发挥到极致.
它们引来了那些有关任务过重的有罪的愤怒的记忆,同时,使我们失去了对我们优先关注（做的）事情的控制.
蒂莫西.帊一克,渥太华洲的卡尔顿大学的一名心理学教授,曾说,人们经常拟定一份待办事宜的清单,然后,清单就只是清单了.这个清单自身就成了这一天的功绩.它让我们在没有做一点真正的事情的同时,感觉已经做了一些有用的事情了.事实上,拟定一份清单成为逃避工作本身的一条路径.
太多的时候,这份清单被看成这一天的成就,减轻了即时罪恶感,这种罪恶是通过在待办事宜清单上费时间却没有做手边的事情.
当一份清单被这样使用着,它只不过是我们欺骗自己的的另一种方式.
