THE FIFTEEN-MINUTE RULE

Book ID/图书代码： 03275010B35877

English Summary/英文概要： THE FIFTEEN MINUTE RULE sets out to help us tackle those things that we are always putting off: doing our tax return, starting an exercise regime, looking for a new job or learning a new skill. Or perhaps doing something to improve the quality of life, by learning to fight depression or confront an annoying habit. Perhaps it’s simply clearing the huge pile of clutter from your desk. Whatever it is, all you need is fifteen minutes and before you know it, some weeks later, you have accomplished a task you couldn’t bring yourself to start.
The hardest thing to overcome when you’re trying to start something daunting and new is actually start – that mountain of paperwork in front of you really does look like it will take hours to go through and hours of mind-numbing sorting are hard to contemplate for most, fifteen minutes isn’t. Fifteen minutes is manageable and can bring minor and major results, each one providing satisfaction and a boost to self-esteem. This book is for those people who need instant gratification and also those long-term players who recognise the benefits of consistency and dedication.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书通过抗对消极情绪或者直面恼人的习惯，旨在帮助我们处理那些我们总是推迟不想做的事，像是做纳税申报单、开始健身、找工作、学门新技术或是试图改善生活质量。也许它可以彻底清理你书桌的积压，你只需花上十五分钟，变化是无形的，也许几周以后你已经不知不觉脱胎换骨了。
当你着手一些厌烦或者新鲜的事，事实上最难应付的才刚要开始。摆在面前堆积如山的文件看上去就得花上好几个小时，好几个小时的绞尽脑汁，15分钟，想都不要想。15分钟若合理有效使用，可以带来最优化的成果，让人心满意足，自信心扑扑满。本书适合那些需要立即得到激励还有长期积累等待厚积薄发的人。(XJJ)
