Tim Urban: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

14:03 minutes · Filmed Feb 2016 · Posted Mar 2016 · TED2016

Tim Urban knows 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. In this hilarious and insightful talk, he takes us on a journey through his YouTube binges, Wikipedia rabbit holes and long bouts of staring out the window -- and encourages us to think harder about what we're really procrastinating on, before we run out of time.

Conservatives and liberals both believe that they alone are motivated by love -- while their opponents are motivated by hate. No wonder we can't hear each other. But how can we solve problems with so much polarization? Social scientist Arthur Brooks shares ideas for what we can each do as individuals to break the gridlock. "We might just be able to take the ghastly holy war of ideology that we're suffering under and turn it into a competition of ideas," he says. Watch »

We don't have to live in a world where 99 percent of rapists get away with it, says TED Fellow Jessica Ladd. With Callisto, a new platform for college students to confidentially report sexual assault, Ladd is helping survivors get the support and justice they deserve while respecting their privacy concerns.

Quote of the Week

You know what we really need? We need a flexible ideology. We need to be less predictable. Don't we? Do you ever feel like your own ideology is starting to get predictable? Kinda conventional? Do you ever feel like you're always listening to people who agree with you?"

Arthur Brooks
