Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn’t make sense, but he has never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done.

In this hilarious and insightful TED talk, 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.

Tackling procrastination

In this video Dr. Barbara Oakley explains why “Procrastination can be a single
monumentally important keystone bad habit, a habit in other words that influences
many important areas of your life. If you improve your abilities in this area many other positive changes will gradually begin to unfold.”

The video has been realized for the course: “Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects” available on Coursera.
