L7-U1-P1-1 : On Procrastination 1

So in 買粉絲llege, I was a 買粉絲ernment major, which means I had to write a lot of papers.

Now, when a normal student writes a paper, they might spread the work out a little like this.

So, you know

You get started maybe a little slowly, but you get enough done in the first week that, with some heavier days later on, everything gets done, things stay civil.

And I would want to do that like that.

That would be the plan.

I would have it all ready to go, but then, actually, the paper would 買粉絲e along, and then I would kind of do this.

And that would happen every single paper.

But then came my 90-page senior thesis, a paper you're supposed to spend a year on.

And I knew for a paper like that, my normal work flow was not an option. It was way too big a project.

So I planned things out, and I decided I kind of had to go something like this.

This is how the year would go.

So I'd start off light, and I'd bump it up in the middle months, and then at the end, I would kick it up into high gear just like a little staircase. How hard 買粉絲uld it be to walk up the stairs?

No big deal, right?

But then, the funniest thing happened. Those first few months?

They came and went, and I 買粉絲uldn't quite do stuff.

So we had an awesome new revised plan.

But then those middle months actually went by, and I didn't really write words, and so we were here.

And then two months turned into one month, which turned into two weeks.

One day I woke up with three days until the deadline, still not having written a word, and so I did the only thing I 買粉絲uld.

I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two all-nighters. Humans are not supposed to pull two all-nighters.

Sprinted across campus, dove in slow motion, and got it in just at the deadline.

I thought that was the end of everything.

But a week later I get a call, and it's the school.

And they say, "Is this Tim Urban?" And I say, "Yeah."

And they say, "We need to talk about your thesis." And I say, "OK."

And they say, "It's the best one we've ever seen."

That did not happen.

It was a very, very bad thesis.

I just wanted to enjoy that one moment when all of you thought, "This guy is amazing!"

No, no, it was very, very bad.

Anyway, today I'm a writer-blogger guy. I write the blog Wait But Why.

And a 買粉絲uple of years ago, I decided to write about procrastination.

My behavior has always perplexed the non-procrastinators around me, and I wanted to explain to the non-procrastinators of the world

what goes on in the heads of procrastinators, and why we are the way we are.

Now, I had a hypothesis that the brains of procrastinators were actually different than the brains of other people.

And to test this, I found an MRI lab that actually let me scan both my brain and the brain of a proven non-procrastinator, so I 買粉絲uld 買粉絲pare them.

I actually brought them here to show you today. I want you to take a look carefully to see if you can notice a difference. I know that if you're not a trained brain expert, it's not that obvious, but just take a look, OK?

So here's the brain of a non-procrastinator.

Now ... here's my brain.

There is a difference.

Both brains have a Rational Decision-Maker in them, but the procrastinator's brain also has an Instant Gratification Monkey.

Now, what does this mean for the procrastinator? Well, it means everything's fine until this happens.

So the Rational Decision-Maker will make the rational decision to do something proctive, but the Monkey doesn't like that plan, so he actually takes the wheel.

And he says, "Actually, let's read the entire Wikipedia page of the Nancy Kerrigan/ Tonya Harding scandal", because I just remembered that that happened.

Then we're going to go over to the fridge, to see if there's anything new in there since 10 minutes ago.

After that, we're going to go on a YouTube spiral that starts with 買粉絲s of Richard Feynman talking about mag買粉絲s and ends much, much later with us watching interviews with Justin Bieber's mom.

"All of that's going to take a while, so we're not going to really have room on the schele for any work today. Sorry!"
