Tim Urban | Inside the mind of a master procrastinator (Short Version)

This edited short video looks at Tim Urban's TED talk about procrastination.

His key message is that we all procrastinate to some extent but are usually saved by that feeling of panic that sets in when a deadline gets near. However, when looking at goals that have no deadline, we can end up procrastinating almost indefinitely. It's important that we look at our lives, think about what we want to accomplish within our lifetime and assign deadlines to ourself.

Full talk's description:
"Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn't make sense, but he's never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. In this hilarious and insightful talk, Urban takes us on a journey through YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and bouts of staring out the window -- and encourages us to think harder about what we're really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.

Should've added two more characters, the "Random motivation at 3AM" and then the "Sloth"

Procrastinating while watching a video about procrastination and would still continue procrastinating after this..

Whoever runs this channel is putting in a lot of hard work for each video. They're perfectly cut, and brilliantly summarized.

Keep doing it this way and I'm sure your channel will blow up.

After seeing this guy's ted talk I can only imagine that his 90 page thesis that he's so proud of finishing over two days without sleep is likely written in crayon

The "non procrastinators" just have a more developed panic monster that keeps the monkey in the tree

Procrastination always worked out for me, I thought best when I was totally in panic mode

[eshaan]

For me, the panic monster has a disease that doesnt let him do anything. he stresses about the upcoming deadline but he doesnt do anything about it, and i just keep procrastinating and missing the deadline

Buying stock does not ensure profits always for you, the market price determined your profit. Folks need to stop measuring profits depending on the market price, glad I chose to trade and found out about Raymond's strategies
