I’ve just watched the TED talk given by Tim Urban on the lovely topic of procrastination.
The main idea was that “we should really think harder about what we’re really procrastinating on, before we run out of time. In other words, sometimes we must fight and struggle to start doing something that we want or what is just needed.
In his speech he illustrates this “instant gratification monkey” having its impact on “rational decision maker” inside our brain. It was said this monkey is only cared about something easy and fun, distracting our decision maker trying to do whatever makes sense. Also it was mentioned that the only thing this funny monkey is afraid of is the "panick monster" that is usually the exam or any other deadline approaching. After all, maybe we should be more worried about the consequences of not doing anthing sometimes in order to motivate ourselves?
What I liked the most was that in the end of it he presented the square consisting of small squares of weeks. In sum the amount of weeks was equal 90 years of life. That was exciting to see how relatively small was that big square of time that we have in our life, especially considering that the quarter of those squares-weeks would be crossed already.
