Enjoying this talk? You'll love the brand new TED Radio Hour series – Mind, Body, Spirit. Hear TED speakers share their eye-opening ideas on how we think, move, and feel. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2TjQf2riraLkqqFGxK65JI-leCAxm1eD

It's been 4 years that I've kept this video on my "watch later" list, today is the day I'll finally watch it.

I like how he makes it a presentation that could be explained to a 5 year old, but is so profound at the same time.

A big tip I can pay forward to fellow procrastinators: the first step I always do is promise myself I WILL NOT work on whatever my task is that day and ONLY do all preparation for it without actually starting work. This means I get everything I need ready, opening up tabs that I need to get the job done and planning out exactly what needs to be done to get it finished. Usually when I have it all laid out in front of me like that suddenly the task looks very small and manageable - and i then owe it to myself to complete on the task. This trick alone eliminates about 70% of my procrastination times. Kudos to Michael Kennedy's Success Method for this "mind trick" which works for me at least, I am working on the other mind hacks /gamifying to get my doctorate finished up

Hi... anyone watching in 2024?

He used a number of characters to convey some amazing and crucial information; he is a true genius.
-
I think my monkey is not scared of the panic monster anymore.
-
Fun fact: he planned this ted talk the night before
-
I'm here because I've procrastinated for weeks (okay, months), have a deadline in the morning, have barely started, totally freaking out, and so I'm turning to this guy for inspiration lmao
-
what a storyteller. the characters, narrative and the lesson were beautifully delivered.
-
He drew those pictures right before going on stage.
-
When he said "procrastination is the worst when there is no deadline" I really felt that
-
Tim Urban is damn right on this. I am a procrastinator and I knew it in 2019, but I was very good in my employment so I did neglected it. But rest areas of my life is incomplete because they haven't any deadline. This is the right moment to start a simple step toward my ultimate goal.
