It’s the rare executive who has not from time to time rued his or her failure to take timely action or at least not put off till tomorrow what we could do today. If you can resist putting off watching this short TED talk which will take you inside the mind of Tim Urban who writes the “Wait, But Why: new post every sometimes” blog who confesses that he is a master procrastinator.
He thinks we have to understand “The Dark Playground” and the two types of procrastination: short term and long term. “In this hilarious and insightful (TEC) talk“ Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator (68 million views), Urban takes us on a journey through YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and bouts of staring out the window — and encourages us to think harder about what we’re really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.”
