本期内容：
Close your eyes. Imagine yourself finishing that tedious months-long project you have been dreading 1. Think about the papers you are preparing on your desk, documents you need to print, the conversations you will need to have to finish the project and even what you will wear on presentation day or how it will feel to finally ace 2 the project – the more vivid the picture is in your mind, the better. The exercise seems simple, but some recent research suggests that visualizing 3 yourself in the future could be a novel way to beat procrastination 4. The theory goes like this: most of us are not particularly good at picturing how our immediate 5 actions will affect us long-term. But if we are constantly picturing ourselves at a later point in life, and how our daily decisions affect this future person, it can help us make better immediate decisions because it is easier to imagine the long-term consequences.
