TED 1 :Inside the mind of a master procrastinator


Tim Urban started with an example of procrastination that is common in everyone's daily life.

There are rational decision makers in the minds of procrastinators and non-procrastinators.

But for procrastinators, there are other timely monkeys in their mind.

When there is a breakthrough between rational decision-making and timely pleasure, procrastinators choose to have fun in time almost every time.


Vocabulary:

motion：the act or process of moving, or a particular actionor movement.

Ex: The violent motion of the ship upset his stomach.

procrastinator：someone who keeps delaying things that must be done.

Ex: I never buy my gifts until Christmas Eve because I'm a procrastinator.

calendar: a printed table showing all the days, weeks, and months of the year.

Ex: An old calendar for 2012 was still hanging on the wallof her office.
