Introduction

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. He decided to write about procrastination. He wanted to explain to the non-procrastinators what goes on in the heads of procrastinators. But he also thinks procrastination will severely compress our already limited time, we should think hard about the things that we've been procrastinating on.
