TED Talk- Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

The three keywords I learn from the talk

procrastination  n. (通常指因為無趣、沒有意思而)拖延

This is no time for procrastination - we need decisive action.

guilt  n.  內疚、愧疚、自責

He suffered such feelings of guilt over leaving his children.

epiphany  n. (對重要事物的)頓悟

read these emails and I had a little bit of an epiphany -- that I don't think non-procrastinators exist.


How Rational Decision-Maker, Instant Gratification Monkey and Panic Monster make our decisions.

The procrastination's brain has a Rational Decision-Maker, and also has an Instant Gratification Monkey.

The Rational Decision-Maker gives us the ability to do things no other animal can do.

In the Dark Playground isn't actually fun, because it's completely unearned, and the air is filled with guilt, dread, anxiety, self-hatred. 

There is two kinds of procrastination, first is there's deadlines, the second kind in situation when there is no deadline.
