Inside the mind of a master procrastinator.) What do you think o
f procrastinators?

What do you think about procrastinators? Do you think that they
are less successful than organized people who never meet the
deadline?
What do you think about people who spend lots of time only close
to the deadline and with a very focused mind rather than people
who are the most organized and start it from the first day?

I think we should embrace the instant gratification monkey. It
stops us from doing too much too soon.

I watched this TED before. I didn't get the meaning what he
wanted to say. I don't mean English comprehension. Although I
read his script in Japanese, I didn't understand. Now, I watched
it again in both English and Japanese.
The first half, he explained what was happening in the brain of
the procrastinator. His way of talking with humor was excellent.
Secondary, he mentioned the people who emailed him, which were
serious contents. According to him, the panic monster that stops
your playing doesn't even show up in those people because they
don't have the deadlines in the first place. That means they
don't have any purposes, goals.
[quote] It's that long-term procrastination has made them feel
like a spectator, at times, in their own lives. The frustration
is not that they couldn't achieve their dreams; it's that they
weren't even able to start chasing them.
[/quote]
Then he said, "I don't think non-procrastinators exist."
In conclusion, he showed the '90 years calendar' and said
[quote]I think we need to all take a long, hard look at that
calendar. We need to think about what we're really
procrastinating on because everyone is procrastinating on
something in life. [/quote]
I assume he is saying say that everyone is procrastinators.
Everyone has to look at your future and prepare for it.
But I can see the small contradiction in his speech. Because
people who have serious problems with procrastination can't
picture their clear future, their goals. So what can they
prepare for?
He is saying that you have to distinguish which one of your life
should not be postponed. But they can't even find the basis
where they can pick up from. They are 'no-goal' people.
He doesn't deny the procrastinators but encourages them to make
plans well, looking at 90 years calender. Where do 'no-goal
people' go? Can they plan without the goals? If you have plans,
you can pick up some hurried one from them and procrastinate the
others.
The serious problem is that they don't even have clear goals.
But, is that really a problem? Do you definitely have clear
goals?
Hmm. I don't get the meaning.

Oh..ok, I got it.
He showed the 90-year- calendar to the people who don't have
goals. They have to set the small goals little by little.
Um...it seems to be a very simple normal idea since before. It
is not new. Probably they can't even set small goals rather than
they can't make it. That's why they are struggling. How can they
solve? There is no answer in his presentation.
