#TED talk–Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

procrastinator

someone who keeps delaying things that must be done

I never buy my gifts until Christmas Eve because I'm a procrastinator.

epiphany

a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you

Isaac Newton's epiphany about gravity and a falling apple.

insane

extremely unreasonable or stupid

It would be insane not to take advantage of this opportunity.


The talk is about procrastinator who keeps delaying things that must be done. 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. Most people have procrastination. So he encourages us to think harder about what we're really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.
