#TED Talk 1 Inside the mind of a master procrastinator

 3 keywords I learn from the talk

procrastinator

someone who keeps delaying things that must be done.

ex: I never buy my gifts until Christmas Eve because I'm a procrastinator.

ethic

a system of accepted beliefs that control behaviour, especially such a system based on morals.

ex: The ethics of  journalism are much debated.

epiphany

a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you.

ex: I had an epiphany recently.


A summary of the talk

This talk is about procrastination. In this talk, the speaker knows that 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. He doesn't think non-procrastinators exist. He encourages us to think about what we're really procrastinating on before we run out of time.

#Is there a short-term or long-term goal that you want to achieve in your life?

I am not particularly satisfied with my figure. I always think I am too fat. So, I made a long-term plan to loss weight. This plan starts in June of this year until I lose 6 kg. I know I am not a person who loses weight easily, so I think this plan will take at least one year. I want to adjust my diet and establish exercise habits to complete my plan. This can not only lose weight but also maintain a good body shape.  It's almost five months now, and I find that my weight has dropped and my figure is better than before. I will continue this plan until the day when it is truly successful.
