because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right? Like religion and money and other things. So I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do.

They’re so immense, they almost have to be one-offs. Some things have to exist at that scale to be truly appreciated. That doesn't mean my reserves of joy can't be regularly topped up and updated.

It's a thread of resilience woven into our lives. When there are cracks in things, joy brings light through. Even if my happiness isn't total.

Number one, that the most useful subjects for work are at the top. So you were probably steered benignly away from things at school when you were a kid,

systems that I can put into place, that will prevent bad things from happening? Or at least if bad things happen,

Well, in the pre-mortem, Danny explained, you look ahead and you try to figure out all the things that could go wrong, and then you try to figure out what you can do

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

and then you try to figure out what you can do to prevent those things from happening, or to minimize the damage. So what I want to talk to you about today

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

So what I want to talk to you about today are some of the things we can do in the form of a pre-mortem. Some of them are obvious, some of them are not so obvious.

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

I'll start with the obvious ones. Around the home, designate a place for things that are easily lost. Now, this sounds like common sense, and it is,

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

that evolved over tens of thousands of years, to keep track of the locations of important things -- where the well is, where fish can be found,

They weren't using smell, they were using the hippocampus, this exquisitely evolved mechanism in the brain for finding things. But it's really good for things that don't move around much,

this exquisitely evolved mechanism in the brain for finding things. But it's really good for things that don't move around much, not so good for things that move around.

But it's really good for things that don't move around much, not so good for things that move around. So this is why we lose car keys and reading glasses and passports.

If you designate a spot and you're scrupulous about it, your things will always be there when you look for them. What about travel?

mail it to yourself so it's in the cloud. If these things are lost or stolen, you can facilitate replacement. Now these are some rather obvious things.

If these things are lost or stolen, you can facilitate replacement. Now these are some rather obvious things. Remember, when you're under stress, the brain releases cortisol.

the side effects occur in five percent of the patients. And they include terrible things -- debilitating muscle and joint pain, gastrointestinal distress --

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

You don't want to have to manufacture all of this on the spot. And you also want to think about things like quality of life. Because you have a choice oftentimes,

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

or a longer life that might have a great deal of pain towards the end? These are things to talk about and think about now, with your family and your loved ones.

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

Remember, our brain under stress releases cortisol, and one of the things that happens at that moment is a whole bunch on systems shut down.

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

or your libido, or your immune system, because if you're body is expending metabolism on those things and you don't react quickly,

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

and you don't react quickly, you might become the lion's lunch, and then none of those things matter. Unfortunately,

Inside the mind of a master procrastinator — Tim Urban · TED

Unfortunately, one of the things that goes out the window during those times of stress is rational, logical thinking,
