The Monkey in Your Head

Procrastination

We all know the feeling of having a Task to do and telling ourselves:

"Today is the day. I will finish all the Work."

And then we catch ourselves watching a 2-hour Iceberg of "Craziest Conspiracy Theories" or end up watching Interviews with Justin Bieber's Mom.

So the original plan we had, was flooded away by our Procrastination.

But why?

-

The Brain of a non Procrastinatior

The non Procrastinator

  • Has Plans
  • Is doing things that make sense
  • Future Oriented
  • Rational Thinker

-

vs. The Brain of a Procrastinator

The Procrastinator

  • still has Plans
  • still wants to make things that do sense
  • still has plans for the future
  • Rational Thinking

Buuuuuuuuuut

There is also the "Instant Gratification Monkey" and it isn't that rational and doesn't give a damn about the Future. It wants fun, and immediate.

Soooooooooo

And theeeeeeen

You lost control...
