【正文】 today. I want you to take a look carefully to see if you can notice a difference. I know that if you39。t really write words, and so we were here. And then two months turned into one month, which turned into two weeks. And 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 could: I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours, pulling not one but two allnighters humans are not supposed to pull two allnighters sprinted across campus, dove in slow motion, and got it in just at the deadline. 2:10 I thought that was the end of everything. But a week later I get a call, and it39。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 I39。d start off light, and I39。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, It39。re not a trained brain expert, it39。s brain also has an Instant Gratification Monkey. Now, what does this mean for the procrastinator? Well, it means everything39。re going to go over to the fridge, to see if there39。s going to take a while, so we39。t noticed, now we39。s why there39。s where leisure activities happen at times when leisure activities are not supposed to be happening. The fun you have in the Dark Playground isn39。s danger of public embarrassment, a career disaster or some other scary consequence. And importantly, he39。s just open Google Earth and zoom in to the bottom of India, like 200 feet above the ground, and scroll up for two and a half hours til we get to the top of the country, so we can get a better feel for India. 8:48 (Laughter) 8:54 So that39。s up the tree! And finally, finally, the Rational DecisionMaker can take the wheel and I can start working on the talk. 9:36 Now, the Panic Monster explains all kinds of pretty insane procrastinator behavior, like how someone like me could spend two weeks unable to start the opening sentence of a paper, and then miraculously find the unbelievable work ethic to stay up all night and write eight pages. And this entire situation, with the three characters this is the procrastinator39。s going on? Why are all of these people in such a dark place? 10:54 Well, it turns out that there39。s deadlines, the effects of procrastination are contained to the short term because the Panic Monster gets involved. But there39。s happening, not until you39。t working. 11:38 Now if the procrastinator39。re not contained。
