Inside the mind of a master procrastinator



1.procrastinator(noun)拖延者:someone who keeps delaying things that must be done

2.propagating (verb) 傳播 :to spread opinions, lies, or beliefs among a lot of people

3.perplexed (verb) 困惑 : confused, because something is difficult to understand or solve

Summarize the talk : 

Everyone is procrastinator, the difference is how serious it is. When there is a deadline,the effects of procrastination are contained to the short term,so it will be completed. When there is no deadline, there will be no panic monster, so it will continue to delay, and In addition to rational decision makers, the procrastinator’s brain also has a Instant Gratification monkey.So we need to think about what we're really procrastinating on, because everyone is procrastinating on something in life. We need to stay aware of the Instant Gratification Monkey.
