 The ways successful people defeat procrastination1.

 
成功人士战胜拖延的方法。
 
They give up.
 
他们会放弃
 
 
Just because you already poured hours into a project, doesn't mean you need to finish it. This is known as the "sunk cost fallacy." The "sunk cost fallacy" affects gamblers, investors2, and even procrastinators. Sometimes, a project just isn't worth burning more hours over,and you ultimately need to figure out if it's time to quit.
 
Take a step back and figure out the reason you're procrastinating3 on the project or task. Is it because it's actually not that important, or doesn't move you closer to your big picture goal?
 
Subtraction4, instead of addition, is efficient and productive. Maybe you need to focus on doing fewer things. Maybe this project you’re procrastinating on is actually making you much less productive and needs to be dropped.
