Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator | Tim Urban | TED

Tim Urban knows that procrastination doesn't make sense, but he's never been able to shake his habit of waiting until the last minute to get things done. In this hilarious and insightful 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. For more from Tim Urban, visit Wait But Why: http://www.waitbutwhy.com/ Visit http://TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
