妮娜因成績惡劣而被迫退學後一直想繼續唸書。她從不是班上頂尖的學生,即使在讀小學時,她的表現也只是一般。在妮娜過往成績表的評語中,總發現「說話過多,上課似開聯誼會」,「習作表現參差」,「有能力表現得更好」及「未盡全力」等。 妮娜在美術課裡一直取得甲等成績,她亦十分活躍於學校的戲劇社。但妮娜卻說:「我不希望成為一個餓著肚皮的藝術家,因此我將會在下一個學期修讀商科。」當妮娜被問及下一個學期重新報讀的感受時,她回應道:「這次將會有別於過去,昔日是我沒有好好的準備,但這次我會認真唸書。這會使一切改變。」 或許吧,但成數很微。 妮娜卻沒發覺她多年的自我挫敗行為(Self-defeating) : 耽擱(Procrastination), 沒有條理(Disorganization),不一致(Inconsistency), 和找藉口(excuses)等。此徵象並非再努力一點便能解決,妮娜當前需要的,是學習當一個聰明的工作者。或許,你也是其中一個需要學習的人。 以下是幾個協助改善處事沒效率的步驟,該等方法運用了正面心理學和其他排解和評估理論。
