Introduction 

Tim Urban talked about his experience of procrastination. 

Both brains have a Rational Decision-Maker in them, but the procrastinator's brain also has an Instant Gratification Monkey.

Rational Decision-Maker will make the rational decision to do something productive, but the Monkey doesn't like that plan, so he actually takes the wheel.

The fun you have in the Dark Playground isn't actually fun, and the air is filled with guilt, dread, anxiety, self-hatred.

There is two kinds of procrastination, first is there's deadlines, the second kind in situation when there is no deadline.
