In his TED Talk "Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator," Tim Urban humorously explores the psychology behind procrastination. He introduces the concept of the "Instant Gratification Monkey," representing the urge to indulge in easy and fun activities, which often overrides the "Rational Decision-Maker" responsible for productive tasks. This dynamic leads procrastinators into the "Dark Playground," where unearned leisure results in guilt and anxiety. Urban also discusses the "Panic Monster," which awakens as deadlines approach, temporarily allowing rational control to resume. He emphasizes the dangers of procrastinating on tasks without set deadlines, such as personal goals and health, urging awareness of time's finiteness to prevent long-term regret.
