3 keywords I learn from the talk :
- procrastination (n.) 拖延：the act of delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring
- rational (adj.) 理智的：based on clear thought and reason
- momentum (n.) 動力：the force that keeps an object moving or keeps an event developing after it has started
Summarize the talk :
Tim Urban told us how procrastination generate and he thinks that it doesn't make sense. People who are procrastinators will wait until the deadline to get things done. Maybe there's no non-procrastinators exsist, so Urban encourages everyone to think about what we're really procrastinating on, before we waste our time on instant gratification instead of staying rational. If it's a long-term kind of procratination and there's no deadline, it might become a source of a huge mount of long-term unhappiness, and regrets. We should take more serious and be aware of the problems of procrastination.
