But you´ve gotta see the chance in that. If this feeling grows and grows it´ll maybe one day (hehe) give you enough energy to change things. Try to imagine yourself 5, 10, 15 years ahead if you dont make a change at all. Let that vision haunt you. If you manage to feel desire instead of resentment, you can do it.
Yeah lockdown is doing weird things to my motivation 😅 the panic monster is always lurking because I don't have a job at the moment to at least give me that end of day satisfaction. So gotta keep changing things up to stay sane 💁♂️😂
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
I try to apply the 5 minute rule. Just quick forcing myself to do things for 5 minutes and end uo doing it for hours. Just need to have the force kickstart.
Theres a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. Its not just a bunch of empty promises; its the real deal.
Yes! I bet he is an amazing artist, but he was scribbling those out 5 minutes before taking the stage. I know this because the panic monster is my best friend.
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
"The frustration is not that they couldn't achieve their dreams, it's that they weren't even able to start chasing them" This quote is so true that it hurts my heart
It took me almost 3 years to get the motivation to reply to this video... lol Makes me wonder how all those procrastinators in the audience ever made it to this event?? This is what real procrastination looks like, when this dude waited so long to go to the bathroom that he's about to bust one out sitting right at his desk... baa-ha-ha th-cam.com/video/GLmQxy6ymz0/w-d-xo.html
@Az Viqar < Almost 3 years since this video was "Published on Apr 6, 2016" ... I've been procrastinating to post here ever since. (that's the actual humor) ;D
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.
Truth! If he's anything like me, he was *gonna* do the mri thing, because it sounded like a cool idea a month earlier, but he kept procrastinating and suddenly there wasn't time to fit it in.😉
Facebooker syndrome. People only post about themselves when they are doing well. You don't hear people speak on their continual failures. They do their best to put their best foot forward and only show that side of themselves out of fear of ridicule or rejection or seeming unattractive. Quit measuring yourself against others. Measure yourself against yourself.
I was a international master student in Israel in 2022, I remember vividly watched this video to see a solution to avoid my procrastination behavior which affected me badly. irony thing, is I am rewatching it again during my PhD in Canada in 2024!!
Procasinating is like digging your own grave, you know it's coming up, yet you do nothing to stop it, only think about how u would stop it, but never act on it.
Years ago, when I watched this vid for the first time, it resonated with me so much. Since I got my ADHD diagnosis a few weeks ago, this makes perfect sense. And now I am wondering how many undiagnosed ADHD-ers there are in this comment section.
I feel the same way, I left a comment a year ago saying as much too. It's so fucking sad, I'd wager something like 70% of the people here are not simply "procrastinators" but adults suffering from undiagnosed ADHD
@@ericalagos5842 i mean regret lasts longer because you’re presently ignoring the work, it only goes away when you: forget, or finish the actual goal or work. However with discipline it can be done accordingly like once a day or once a week so the “pain” would be much less frequent and controlled, rather than an uncontrollable and messed up situation
"The frustration wasn't that they couldn't achieve their dreams, but they weren't even able to start chasing them." That one sentence has beautifully and effectively summed up my feelings in a way I haven't been able to.
TH-cam recommended this piece 6 years ago and I marked it on the watch list while was busy with Master Thesis and I just watched it now...A facinating piece of knowlede for everyone....

the worst part is the guilt demotivates you ,and you end up still not doing what needs to get done .this cycle for me never stops and I don’t know what to do.why can’t I just do my work.
After 8 years all I can think about is how many times I shared this video with the caption "prove me wrong he didnt just make this powerpoint the night before"!!!!! (yes maybe the idea was there but he knew, he knew this would make it the best") . Amazing!!!

Ohhh That spitting felt like vomiting.😂 Whatever he said embarrassed me but I have started to see animals on my shoulder now 😂. I am going to get better because I have to. We all have to. All the best everyone. 👍
Was assigned to watch this for school (college). Oh my gosh, this guy is SOOOOO ME!!!!!! I haven’t finished watching yet, but I am getting such a kick out of everything he’s saying! I can so relate. It’s always comforting to hear someone who understands. The struggle is REAL!!!!! Grateful for this video.
"Gonna do some work at 3.00 PM" *Sees clock at 3.02* "W00t, I overshot it, let's do it at 4" *Sees clock at 4.05* "Oh... I'll do it at 5 then" *Sees clock at 5.01* "Bugger....."
@Anifco67 Sorry, i'll have to disagree with it. When you are a procrastinator, you are kind of perfectionist. Your mind wants certain, specific set up before it feels comfortable to do it. Also, one little discomfort in your task, can push you away from it, and it might take you months or years to come back to it. It's real, it happens.
Usman Saadat i can confirm. As a truck driver i want to follow my schedule. If im early ill do other things than i need to and if im late, even a minute im starving. I cant think of what the goal was then or where i was actually going untill i got it back on schedule or i forgave it. But its really hard
@@rehenayesmin6126 ik ur trying to get likes from people who hopefully share the same party pooper mentality as you but what's the point in pointing out a flaw in the joke that everyone here is clearly aware of? I mean you already stated that you are clearly aware of the nature of my comment yet proceed to give an assessment on the quality of the joke. Pray tell, did you graduate as a joke critique? Edit: So you decided to edit your original comment to make yourself look sane and make me, on the other hand, look like the drama queen. Well played coward 👏👏
I attended a course just over a month ago where I spoke about my procrastination habits and the trainer recommended this video to me. So naturally here I am watching it at 1am the morning of the follow up course.
everyone’s talking about procrastinating while watching this and even though i am, i just realized i’ve had this in my watch tomorrow playlist for almost two years and this is the first time i’m watching it💀
I watched this TED talk about 5 years ago and it had quite an impact on me as it actually motivated me to get up and get to work on things that I put off for way too long. And I will start doing this immediately tomorrow.
I think many procrastinators also have an "all or nothing" type of mindset. We also analyze things and come to the conclusion that there are so many options of what we can do right now and in the near future that we end up not doing anything at all.
Several of my friends wait until an hour before something is due and then just grind until they finish it. It only takes and hour if you have only an hour 😅
Freshman year: " I did my homework at like 11 last night" Sophomore year: "I did my homework the morning of" Junior year: "I did my homework before class" Senior year: "I did my homework during class and then told my teacher I just found it"
A master procrastinator will achieve his life goal when he/she is 90 years old. Well a potentially better way of looking at it would be that you can die any moment. You aren't sure you can live to 90 years old, so if you want to achieve your dream, do it now. Although alternatively, you can use the same logic to enjoy your 'last moments.'
I got thru life with the panic monster. Then I retired and had no deadlines. I have been a sail boat without any wind for four years. Thank you for the chart of how many weeks are in a 90 year life. I now have a new deadline and I’m in full panic mode.
Me too, I have been willing to watch this vid for a long time coz it was often in my recommendations but I would procrastinate by watching other videos until today when I finally decided to watch this just to procastinate reading for my test today
I watched this video many times. Until now, I still have struggled with this habit. Hope that, I can do better this year. Dont need to remove this habit, but I need to manage my time better.
OMG why is this so relatable!! Some of my best work is done a night before the deadline. But it causes so much stress , binge watching etc. Why am i like this???
@Yu Jiun YUAN i have over 20 homeworks to do and got scolded by many teachers but here i am 😃 (don't worry i really am gonna do them after i watch this KHJSDKASJDAKH)
i have like 6 tests and 5 homeworks and the deadline is tommorow and my panic monster is awakeing Abhvgvdhmbguvbfewhbfb rbfrvbjkfbvgnrenegnkrnbgjbgnkabjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA edit: my panic monster didnt wake up and my monkey never went away :(
Oh I jumped right on it thinking I might get some tips on how to overcome it. But I'm old, ADD, and bipolar. I'm thinking I'm losing my memory. Like, sadly forgot how to make a sandwich. I was just stumped. Did I put the lettuce or tomatoes first. Got it wrong. But discovered the tomatoes move around less if you put the tomatoes on top. So I've clearly hit on something!!!!! However, I will tell my Dr about this next visit 😭🤣😂🙃🤣
"Let's just open Google Earth and let's zoom in on the bottom of India, like 200 ft above the ground and we're gonna scroll up for 2 and a half hours 'til we get to the top of the country so we can get a better feel for India" That cracked me up

Procrastination comes to an end after the fear of doing something transforms itself into the fear of never doing anything.
I care so much but I dont try bc idk
When he said "procrastination is the worst when there is no deadline" I really felt that
Yeah I can really relate

The fact that this has 43M views is so telling.
Ha
We are all on the same boat 😅
I hypothesize the evolution of technology plays a key role in the ever growing procrastination numbers
Hahaha
IT GAINED 1M in 3 WEEKS
This guy is hilarious, and you can’t even deny that he’s spitting FACTS
FACTS
Finally a worthy opponent,
OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
Ohhh
That spitting felt like vomiting.😂 Whatever he said embarrassed me but I have started to see animals on my shoulder now 😂. I am going to get better because I have to. We all have to. All the best everyone. 👍
i’ve had this on my watch later for years
Hey can we share some lotion?
that is procrastination
Lol smh
omg same and I finally watched it now😂
oh- i see what you did
Was assigned to watch this for school (college). Oh my gosh, this guy is SOOOOO ME!!!!!! I haven’t finished watching yet, but I am getting such a kick out of everything he’s saying! I can so relate. It’s always comforting to hear someone who understands. The struggle is REAL!!!!! Grateful for this video.
Why do you only have one like
"Gonna do some work at 3.00 PM"
*Sees clock at 3.02*
"W00t, I overshot it, let's do it at 4"
*Sees clock at 4.05*
"Oh... I'll do it at 5 then"
*Sees clock at 5.01*
"Bugger....."
This is so true.
@Anifco67 Sorry, i'll have to disagree with it.
When you are a procrastinator, you are kind of perfectionist. Your mind wants certain, specific set up before it feels comfortable to do it. Also, one little discomfort in your task, can push you away from it, and it might take you months or years to come back to it. It's real, it happens.
I'll have to wait until 6 then......
Usman Saadat i can confirm. As a truck driver i want to follow my schedule. If im early ill do other things than i need to and if im late, even a minute im starving. I cant think of what the goal was then or where i was actually going untill i got it back on schedule or i forgave it. But its really hard
£Wow} Tis be Ta TRUTH SO!
BUT T'Ending Here is Too DEp...... £;)💂👸
Plot Twist: He came up with the entire presentation on the elevator ride up
Lmao
It's y is all hand drawn
I know you're trying to be funny but this is unrealistic since he had a whole presentation and he'd have to set things up with TED.
@@rehenayesmin6126 ik ur trying to get likes from people who hopefully share the same party pooper mentality as you but what's the point in pointing out a flaw in the joke that everyone here is clearly aware of? I mean you already stated that you are clearly aware of the nature of my comment yet proceed to give an assessment on the quality of the joke. Pray tell, did you graduate as a joke critique?
Edit: So you decided to edit your original comment to make yourself look sane and make me, on the other hand, look like the drama queen. Well played coward 👏👏
@@giraffeorganic damn, this is just murder
Me: *watches this video happily*
my brain: *suddenly remembers deadline tomorrow"
Me: *watches video stressfully*
Ohhhh this is too relatable.
How ironic we’re all watching this as we procrastinate /:
i feel you
Felt that
O frick
I attended a course just over a month ago where I spoke about my procrastination habits and the trainer recommended this video to me.
So naturally here I am watching it at 1am the morning of the follow up course.
everyone’s talking about procrastinating while watching this and even though i am, i just realized i’ve had this in my watch tomorrow playlist for almost two years and this is the first time i’m watching it💀
😂😂😂you procrastinating the video
My *watch later* playlist crying in the corner
I've my watch later playlist filled with vids that I saved since I started made my account and I still haven't seen them. 😂😂😂
@@biahhmanlun I've already have 3 watch later playlist😂😭
@@mondiramaji791 Are you me?🤣🤣
Look at that mans eyes, he made this presentation last night
Nah I will probally watch it soon, for now I just paused it and feel like reading the comments. Is the video cool ?
Didn't see the video yet, decided to open my eyes later.
@@installtherodent7571 Lmao
I sleep well but my eyes still look so sleepy and have dark circles no matter what sooo....but who knows?!
@@TiaguinhoMu Well you can, kinda funny but good I guess.
The amount of stress that I got from being guilty of procrastination is higher than the stress from my actual work.
Fr
This is so me im literally panicking rn yet not getting anything done i hate me
True
bruuhhhh
there’s actually something like that called executive dysfunction
I watched this TED talk about 5 years ago and it had quite an impact on me as it actually motivated me to get up and get to work on things that I put off for way too long. And I will start doing this immediately tomorrow.
Not even kidding, I added this to my watch later.
same
What's ironic is that have like 97 videos in my watch later list
SO DID I! ITS BEEN THERE SINCE LAST YEAR!
Lol you procrastinated watching this video
SAME! And then I realized the irony in wtf I had just done, yelled "NO!" at myself in my head, and came back to watch the damn thing. 🙄😏
@@theuniboober Same!! LOL
Took me 3 months to get back to this video and finish it
LITERALLY THE SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME HSTRSTRHDTF
@@ed-nd3lw its just a fuckin name.
@@ed-nd3lw I'm very well aware that the creator died. But so did Stan Lee, but marvel isnt dead.
Took me 2 years...
LITERALLY SAME UGH WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS LMAO
When your procrastinating leads to learning about procrastinating...
I guess that's the good procrastination
You've gone full circle, the Padawan is now the Master
😂🤣😂🤣me too
@@Claudiosoaress That's your rationalization mind trying to justify letting the monkey take the wheel.
exactly
Love the way,he explains about procrastination.And yes am listening while procrastinating on my assignments.
I think many procrastinators also have an "all or nothing" type of mindset. We also analyze things and come to the conclusion that there are so many options of what we can do right now and in the near future that we end up not doing anything at all.
Indeed , there are so many things that we want to do but also can do that you only think about it but dont take the steps to do them.
Paralysis by analysis
You just literally helped me discover who I am lol thank you
yes it is happening with me
guys isnt that adhd
Remember kids; If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do
Wise words, truly wise words
that was a good one
@The ChadDevil legend
Several of my friends wait until an hour before something is due and then just grind until they finish it. It only takes and hour if you have only an hour 😅
this comment tho
im procrastinating right now
+RubberDuckStudios "JUST DO IT!"
+RubberDuckStudios Me to
+RubberDuckStudios me to :(
+RubberDuckStudios same
Procastinaception... btw me too 😂
me: "I must stop procrastinating"
also me: *watches this instead of doing hw*
Exactly my story right now haha!
i hate myself
Same
Owen Bunny same
Same
Who else got hyped when he said they thought it was the best thesis
Like... There's hope for me YET!
😂😂i thought oh yeah
Snuff Dragon He got me going 🙈
LOL I was like...Again, another unrealistic video...shoundn't have clicked it
lol I knew that was satire
This has been in my watch later playlist for 6 years now, finally watched it today. Great stuff!
Freshman year: " I did my homework at like 11 last night"
Sophomore year: "I did my homework the morning of"
Junior year: "I did my homework before class"
Senior year: "I did my homework during class and then told my teacher I just found it"
The irony is, by watching this, I’m procrastinating.
His solution to ending procrastination is by showing us that we're all going to die soon so we do have a dead-line.
bad plan, since we all will wait till the last box ..
I smoked dmt and have seen that there is life after death. No need to worry.
@@seanthemoneymagnet2158 what was it like
And it didn't change me at all lol
A master procrastinator will achieve his life goal when he/she is 90 years old.
Well a potentially better way of looking at it would be that you can die any moment. You aren't sure you can live to 90 years old, so if you want to achieve your dream, do it now. Although alternatively, you can use the same logic to enjoy your 'last moments.'
I got thru life with the panic monster. Then I retired and had no deadlines. I have been a sail boat without any wind for four years. Thank you for the chart of how many weeks are in a 90 year life. I now have a new deadline and I’m in full panic mode.
all us procrastinators reading other procrastinators comments feeling like at least we are not ruining our lives alone lol
True
You nailed it HAHAHA
lol true
@@bhumikadasila607 I even procrastinate watching Netflix I need help lol
oooh yes.
"I procrastinate by watching this video" - Every comment section of every procrastination video on TH-cam
I plan on replying to your comment tomorrow.
:D :D :D
I mean, they are probably not wrong
this video really did not change me in a way i wanted to feel change.
Also comments like this
never knew my whole life could be explained in 14 minutes
Never knew mine could be explained in less than 2.
😆😂😆
+me *______*
O_O
Ahahaha
I am SO loving this!!!! It’s unbelievable (and comforting) to know there are so many of us like this out there!!! Thank you so much for this video!
In my brain the monkey killed the decision maker and completely took over
The panic monster is still there. He's always there.
@@arkhamasylum8972 the panic monster and the monkey are homies so theres nothing we can do anymore
Same
Yeah, you've been meaning to make this comment for 3 years.
the rational decision maker is scared of the monkey and turned into the panic monster
oh the irony of me adding this video to my "watch later" list
Same
I have upwards of 300 watch later videos that I will likely never watch, y'all have rookie numbers
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never let it go over 90 I just start getting rid of them I dont like having high numbers
I have near 300 watch later videos and this one will probably stay there for a while before I clean the watch later list
*adds this to Watch Later*
Best comment ever
I literally laughed so loud when I found out what it meant
Me too, I have been willing to watch this vid for a long time coz it was often in my recommendations but I would procrastinate by watching other videos until today when I finally decided to watch this just to procastinate reading for my test today
i have put this video off at least 5 times
Me literally every day
I watched this video many times. Until now, I still have struggled with this habit. Hope that, I can do better this year. Dont need to remove this habit, but I need to manage my time better.
A procrastinator's favorite day of the week is tomorrow.
Nah, I'll wait till the day after.
No TH-cam I dont want to take your surveys THIS IS SO FUNNYYYYY
What if it's a Saturday ?
Nah tomorrow is scary because I have a test
@@bluesoul1260 im going to stop procrastinating one day
This video is on my 'watch later' TH-cam list from 1 month...
“watch later" is triggering procrastinators’ procrastinations xD
OK NO WAY THERE WERE OTHERS LIKE THIS, MINE WAS ON THERE SINCE LAST YEAR
hahaha... same case here.
I can't believe it=))) same case here since August 2018 I suppose
Legit at least three months for me.
I LOVE those procrastinator feeling! Anxiety, stress, self-hatred, depression…
You know!
FUN!
the dark playground be like
This is like a wake up call for me, to really start something in reality. Thank you.
Plot twist: He was supposed to actually do this a year ago
Nice one!
@@denisgichana360 I actually this one made up in my head the second I saw the title, didn't watch the video until months later ironically
Willie Wilson Looool
@@williewilson2250 nice job
@NopeFishDopeFish huh
Some of the famous couples:
Adam - Eve
Romeo - Juliet
Procastinator - Deadlines
😄 haha good one !!
So true lol
SHIVANSHU SINGH I feel you
You have no idea how underrated this is
This is so accurate it hurts.
+Name's Bondevik. Lukas Bondevik. Your comment made me laugh so hard. And then cry...
#relatable
Jalunius - Sorry.
lol hetalia
+Name's Bondevik. Lukas Bondevik. yep
OMG why is this so relatable!! Some of my best work is done a night before the deadline. But it causes so much stress , binge watching etc. Why am i like this???
That last slide with the boxes representing weeks gave me an existential crisis
I know I started counting the weeks and cold feel my heart beating faster and faster with each box
@@jessicap.8114 super good point
I felt that man.
Panick monster is freaking out right now, THOSE ARE NOT ENOUGH BOXES AT ALL
Exactly the same... I'm really freaking out
SOMEBODY HELP PLZ
I felt guilty during the whole TED Talk
Same, i have 4 homeworks and a review due a month ago and this is the last day, I'm still procrastinating
Cuz you're in the dark playground.
My monkey wont give me the controls anymore i am in my course retaking a class because i have to write papers.
@Yu Jiun YUAN i have over 20 homeworks to do and got scolded by many teachers but here i am 😃 (don't worry i really am gonna do them after i watch this KHJSDKASJDAKH)
i have like 6 tests and 5 homeworks and the deadline is tommorow and my panic monster is awakeing
Abhvgvdhmbguvbfewhbfb rbfrvbjkfbvgnrenegnkrnbgjbgnkabjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
edit: my panic monster didnt wake up and my monkey never went away :(
*watches video about how bad procrastination is instead of doing my homework*
Same
Lol that’s what I’m doing rn
That's me
you mean instead of making a funny and original joke?
Who's here watching this instead of working on something that needs to be finished?
i've rewatched this ted talk countless times in the past years and it always helps me
You know what’s ironic? I’ve been procrastinating watching this video for about a year since it popped up in my recommendations lol
Same, months though, did life change after this?
Swears
I've procrastinated it for 7 months...
Oh I jumped right on it thinking I might get some tips on how to overcome it. But I'm old, ADD, and bipolar. I'm thinking I'm losing my memory. Like, sadly forgot how to make a sandwich. I was just stumped. Did I put the lettuce or tomatoes first. Got it wrong. But discovered the tomatoes move around less if you put the tomatoes on top. So I've clearly hit on something!!!!! However, I will tell my Dr about this next visit 😭🤣😂🙃🤣
mee too!!
"Let's just open Google Earth and let's zoom in on the bottom of India, like 200 ft above the ground and we're gonna scroll up for 2 and a half hours 'til we get to the top of the country so we can get a better feel for India"
That cracked me up
that's totally me !
Done that with many countries 😁 especially with deadlines looming large 😄
I absolutely do it almost every day
Atleast it feels creative
I was reading this while he said it at exactly the same time
