On Monday we watched a Ted Talk. Ted talks are so informational and fun to watch. This Ted Talk was by Tim Urban and it was about procrastination. I really don't procrastinate much, but sometimes the monkey might take over the wheel. Tim Urban talked about the difference between a procrastinator's brain and a non-procrastinator's brain. The difference is that the Procrastinator's brain has a monkey which tells the driver or the head of the brain to let go of all the important stuff and have fun. I thought this was a good way to explain procrastination and it was really funny. There was also something called a panic monster. The panic monster symbolizes due dates. The Panic monster scares the monkey away whenever it takes hold of the wheel, but the biggest problem is when there are no dead lines. Then the panic monster isn't able to scare off the monkey and you'll wait till the last minute and stay up all night completing your assignment. Tim Urban said were are an advanced civilization! He also said that there were two types of procrastination. He said that he doesn't think that non-procrastinator's exist. Were all procrastinators. We might not be as messed up as some people and we might be really good with dead lines, but the monkey's sneakiest trick is when the dead lines are not there. So watch out for that monkey!
