And to test this, I found an MRI lab that actually let me scan both my brain and the brain of a proven nonprocrastinator,so I could 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 you39。m a writerblogger guy.

My behavior has always perplexed the nonprocrastinators around me, and I wanted to explain to the nonprocrastinators of the worldwhat goes on in the heads of procrastinators, and why we are the way we are. 不管怎樣,我現(xiàn)在成為了一個博客寫手,經(jīng)營著“wait but why”這個博客。論文非常非常的差勁?!彼麄冋f:“我們要說一說你的畢業(yè)論文。s the school.

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 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 e along, and then I would kind of do this. 在大學,我讀的是政府專業(yè)。也就是說,我需要寫很多的論文。我做了完美的安排(看圖),但后來,實際上論文任務一直出現(xiàn),我就只能這樣了(看圖)。d bump it up in the middl
