Why we procrastinate
Vik Nithy is a young entrepreneur. He is the founder of 3 businesses at the age of 20 including his own marketing consulting firm. Being roughly the same age as myself, he is truly inspirational. The topic he is discussing in the video is procrastination, which is funny because I consider myself some what of a pro. He explains why we tend to procrastinate when it comes to completing essays, and revising for exams as well as chores, thinking about our future, saving money and exercise.
I found his video interesting because he talks about the brain and how the pre-frontal cortex tells us to work whilst the limbic system tells us to check Facebook or watch another television programme. I have recently been learning about the brain when it comes to learning so this was interesting to listen to. Vik then goes on to say how we can overcome procrastination, by planning goals, plan time, plan resources, plan the process, plan for distractions and plan for failure. I think everyone can relate to this video, I think everyone procrastinates, some more than others. This video is useful to me because I now know good tips to overcome procrastination and hopefully not leave things till the last minute.
