【正文】 nd your whole life doing nothing other than easy and fun things, you39。s when we have a conflict. And for the procrastinator, that conflict tends to end a certain way every time, leaving him spending a lot of time in this orange zone, an easy and fun place that39。s always been a dream of mine to have done a TED Talk in the past. 8:11 (Laughter) 8:15 (Applause) But in the middle of all this excitement, the Rational DecisionMaker seemed to have something else on his mind. He was saying, Are we clear on what we just accepted? Do we get what39。s not pretty, but in the end, it works.
