Playtime Comments : [TED] Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | Tim Urban

Th*********:

Tim: "We need to all take a long, hard look at that calendar, and we need to think about what we're really procrastinating on, because everyone is procrastinating on something in life" 13:18

Me: Counting every row and column on the life calendar to confirm that there are exactly 4680 squares on the screen.

Pr*******:

Me: ok we’re starting at 6:00
Time :6:05
Me: Aw jeez now I guess I have to wait till 7 to start.

Wa****************:

Here's the thing, I believed him about the best thesis ever story. A lot of procrastinators are actually really intelligent and amazing at writing. They just struggle with time management. I would honestly believe if procrastinators were 95% Neurodivergent. In 7th and 8th grade any social studies essays we had to write were written almost entirely in 3 hours and turned in at 11:59 PM on the due date. Every time I was complimented on my writing style and vocabulary choice. Instead of "Which caused" and "Causing" I wrote "Which prompted" and "Prompting".

Li*******:

Man nods in agreement, :" Write that down, RIGHT THAT DOWN!!!" 9:24

Fo**:

12:19 that guy is like 'damn...'

ST*****:

When teacher gives a lecture about you in class 5:26

Fu**********:

I know that this speech is supposed to make you smile, but as a person who had his own life destroyed by the instant gratification monkey I also felt the bitterness inside my heart.
In my case, the monkey took total control over the rational decision maker. It feels like I don't have any free will anymore, and all I'm left with is guilt and depression.

No*********************************:

A procrastinator's favorite day of the week is tomorrow.

Na***********:

The only reason I clean or do anything productive is when I'm procrastinating to make procrastinating feel better😅

co*********:

I have a class centered around TED Talks, but this literally is my all-time favorite one.

Ma**:

Uh, it's called "ADHD". Watching a TED talk won't give the help that's needed...it just reinforces what people know and experience

Ca********:

Don't call my home a "dark playground" that is rude.

Sc******:

Nobody:

Me: now I don’t wanna watch this anymore Imma go Finnish my homework

Instant gratification monkey: nope!

Me 14 years later still watching YouTube: Ight imma stop watching YouTube and take a break for my eyes after so long

Instant gratification monkey: nope!

Edit: thanks for the likes!

Ts************:

If you're scrolling through the comments and procrastinating, don't like my comment. Go get your work done and that dread you're feeling will be gone.

Lu*********:

Me: I have a test due need to study right now
Also Me: Ohhh look a video on procrastination

Monkey takes over

Na******:

I'm a procrastinator
There are two ways I can get things done
1, under pressure panic moments
2, when I plan my day and do the important things first

An****:

I'll go get a girlfriend when I have the time. 10 years goes by..

Da********:

my suicidal homie told me "I'm suicidal but also a procrastinator so it work's out"

Ph*******:

It is fun and laughs until he starts to talk about “second type procrastination” and I relate

wa********:

I will clean an entire house instead of starting my hw Bc I love using “well I need a clean space first” as an excuse and then being too tired to do any hw after which is then also used as an excuse not to start my hw 🙃

Co*************:

also me: procrastinating , aight lemme watch the procrastination ted talk

Mu****************:

added to “watch later” playlist

Iw******:

Just before seeing this I watched "how to make chocolate lava cake"

Ad**********:

who else is supposed to be doing homework right now?

Ni********:

Plot twist: the reason the drawings look so bad is that he was making this ted talk right before he was on stage.

Ba********:

“If you do something last minute, it only takes a minute to do.”

Ju**********:

He drew those pictures right before going on stage.

Yo***********:

I think my monkey is not scared of the panic monster anymore.

Th***********:

In my brain the monkey killed the decision maker and completely took over

Ye******:

This video has been on my “Watch it Later” list for 3 years

ch*********:

I'm procrastinating, by reading comments about other people procrastinating, on a video about procrastinating.


And admit it, so are you.

Hi*******:

The worst part is that he didn’t end with “thank you for coming to my TED talk”

ki****:

it's funny how I'm just listening to this while staring intensely at my incomplete English homework

Fo**********:

Obviously he wrote this speech and the powerpoint the night before.

ka**:

if this pops up in ur recommended, youtube is trying to tell u something

Fu**********:

Panic Monster was drawn 2 minutes before he took the stage.

Ro*****:

So, literally:
Rational brain: We need to start his assignment now so we could get it done by next week
Monkey brain: nO

Yo************:

I have the most important test of my life tomorrow that will decide my future and i am watching this. Rip me

Ho*******:

I bet everyone watching this is procrastinating by watching a video about procrastination 😂

ce***:

I can say this is one of my most favorable TED speeches of all time, smooth with a sense of humor and a moderate amount of weight at the end. If somebody indicates me as a procrastinator, I wouldn’t even deny it. My every-day life is threatened by the so-called ‘Instant Gratification Monkey’, and my ‘Rational Decision-Maker’ doesn't seem to have much authority over things. I postpone most of the things, and I do feel guilty and self-conscious on the way, but that was just that.
Anxiety, self-hatred and a bit of depression and once I recover, I’m doing it all over again. But after hearing the speech, I realized for the first-time that some things don’t even have a deadline. And the non-deadline situations he laid out were the things that I thought were most important in real-life.
My family, my health, relationships with friends and many others. If these were the most important to me, then I couldn’t even possibly postpone any of them. But yet I did. It became clearer for me when I saw the Life Calendar. I merely knew death as a final duty and had no idea of how much time I had in my hands for I could not touch nor see it in person. Now that I am aware of how much boxes I’ve got, I promise myself to make change for the better.
