This video is one of my favourites because it addresses an everyday thing humorously while still having an impact on the viewers. Everyone is a procrastinator, as mentioned in the video. Whether it be an assignment or something big in life, we all push things back. This video comically addresses procrastination, using characters such as the “instant gratification monkey”, “rational decision-maker”, and the “panic monster” that is in everyone’s brain. Tim Urban, the speaker, goes on to talk about a life calendar that displays each week of a 90 year old person as a box and says that there are not many of these boxes. He finishes by telling the audience that we all need to find out what we’re procrastinating on in life, that we need to stay aware of the “instant gratification monkey” to focus on what’s important. As students, I’m sure we can all relate to this and set our priorities to be more efficient.

Breathe. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.

Everyone, at some point in their life goes through a bad day. Different things affect different people in different ways. However, we allow this negatively to get inside us and often think the worst of it. A bad day or bad days doesn’t mean the rest are going to be bad. We make decisions based on our short term feelings, especially when we feel down. This quote helps us to understand that we must overcome the challenge of each day, because not all days will be the same.
