How to Beat Procrastination
Tim Urban,/one of the Internet’s most popular writers,/shares his thoughts on a variety of topics/from everyday psychology to artificial intelligence on his blog,/Wait But Why.// Here he writes a post on his own bad habit/—procrastination.//

　　I’m just a lifelong procrastinator/who thinks about this topic all the time.// I’m still in a total battle with my own habits,/but I have made some progress/in the last few years,/and I’m drawing my thoughts/from what’s worked for me.//
　　To understand why procrastinators procrastinate so much,/let’s start by comparing the non-procrastinator’s brain/with the procrastinator’s brain://
　　Do you notice anything different?// It seems the Rational Decision-Maker in the procrastinator’s brain/is coexisting with a pet/—the Instant Gratification Monkey.// This would be fine/if only the Rational Decision-Maker knew/how to own a monkey.// But unfortunately,/it wasn’t a part of his training/and he’s left completely helpless/as the monkey makes it impossible for him to do his job.//
