If yu struggle with prcrastinatin(拖延症)——whether cleaning yur huse r ding wrk fr schl r yurjb——r yu find that yu get all the little stuff dne but dn't make sufficient prgress n the big stuff, tryfllwing the advice. 39 . Study fr the test in yur mst difficult class befre studying fr yur easier nes.
40 . Put the mst imprtant r trublesme tasks at the tp f yur list, and then enjy the satisfactinf crssing them ff early. At sme pint, mving n t the smaller activities——even if they’re imprtant——will feellike a reward.

Disappinted and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and dwn the street. I felt as thugh smething hadbeen stlen in my heart. After what seemed a year,I returned hme, dragging(拖) my heavy legs. Hardly had Ijust gne int the huse when my mther called my name. Brushing away my tears, I fllwed the sund f hervice int the dining-rm.
