TED： Inside the mind of a master procrastinator In the talk the speaker says that inside the procrastinator's brain not only has a Rational Decision-Maker, but also has an instant Gratification Monkey, who actually takes the wheel. Well, I think it really makes sense to me. Things happen to me quite often, such as school's projects, even dishes.

And when I complete a difficult task on time, I can reward myself with a treat. Let me notice how good it feels to finish things!  👉👉Check the talk here:  https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_inside_the_mind_of_a_master_procrastinato
