I used to delay things until deadlines, that caused me much trouble. Therefore, I thought of some ways to get rid the bad habit. First, I took a shower right after I got home from school. It refreshed me but made my thoughts more active. Furthermore, in order to avoid being constant disturbed by my cell phone, I left them with my parents. The final strategy I use was scheduling. I managed to planning my days ahead of time so that I could break up my tasks instead of having too many work to do on the last day. By using these simple technique, I’ve improved my efficiency and made a great progress.

In 2015, motorcyclist Robert Jan kicked off a three-month solo(独自的) ride from the Netherlands to India.
1. One day when he was watching a TV show about a man documenting his travels across countries, Robert decided he wanted to do something similar. About a decade later, he got his driver’s license. 2. Two years after that, Robert began a solo motorcycle trip from his home in the Netherlands to India. He traveled more than 10,000 miles in just under three months.
Robert, who is today a 30-year-old graphic designer (平面设计师), began planning the trip in September 2014, shortly after his graduation from Willem de Kooning Academy. 3. He secured the necessary paperwork, got cash, and supported the adventure through a graphic design job. He and his blue motorcycle—which he nicknamed Perry—took off in late August of 2015.
4. He met fellow travelers along the way and slept outside, all the while writing about his experience on his blog, Going Eastwards.
But the three-month adventure also came with its challenges. Sometimes, he would go miles without spotting a much-needed gas station, and money eventually grew scarce(不足的). 5. In the end of November, Robert finally reached Mumbai, India. There, he shipped his bike back to Houten in the Netherlands and put himself on a plane back home.
“Took 81 days to get there,” he posted on Instagram, “back within 18 hours.”
A. And in 2013, he bought his first motorcycle.
B. From a young age, Robert has been an adventurer.
C. By the time he arrived, all the beds were occupied.
D. They helped Robert get the motorcycle out of the freezing cold water.
E. Riding through 14 countries, Robert met a diverse set of people and landscapes.
F. Closer to the end of the trip, the motorcycle broke down—but a local helped him out.
G. He spent the next several months reading stories of motorcycle adventurers like Paul van Hoff and Gordon G. May.
