which means I had to write a lot of papers.

Now, when a normal student writes a paper,

they might spread the work out a little like this.

but you get enough done in the first week

but then, actually, the paper would come along,

And that would happen every single paper.

但終於輪到了我 90 頁的畢業論文

a paper you're supposed to spend a year on.

這論文照理應該花一年的時間寫

And I knew for a paper like that, my normal work flow was not an option.

我知道面對這種論文， 不能用平常的工作方式來做

and I decided I kind of had to go something like this.

and then at the end, I would kick it up into high gear.

How hard could it be to walk up the stairs?

所以我就修改成超棒的新進度表

But then those middle months actually went by,

And then two months turned into one month,

不只熬夜了一天，是連續兩天──

humans are not supposed to pull two all-nighters --

I thought that was the end of everything.

他們說：「請問你是提姆．厄本嗎？」

And they say, "We need to talk about your thesis."

他們說：「我們得談談你的論文。」

「我們從沒見過這麼棒的論文。」

I just wanted to enjoy that one moment when all of you thought,

我只是想要享受一下你們心想：

「這傢伙太厲害了吧！」那瞬間

並沒有發生這種事，我寫得很糟

部落格名稱是「等一下但是為什麼」

And a couple of years ago, I decided to write about procrastination.

幾年前，我決定開始寫拖拖拉拉的事

My behavior has always perplexed the non-procrastinators around me,

我身邊不會拖拖拉拉的朋友 總對我的行為感到非常不解

and I wanted to explain to the non-procrastinators of the world

所以我想解釋給全世界 所有不會拖拖拉拉的人

what goes on in the heads of procrastinators,

看我們愛拖的人腦袋裡在想什麼

that the brains of procrastinators were actually different

為了證實這點， 我找到一個核磁共振實驗室

and the brain of a proven non-procrastinator,

I actually brought them here to show you today.

我今天特地把掃描結果帶來給你們看

I want you to take a look carefully to see if you can notice a difference.

I know that if you're not a trained brain expert,

如果你們不是專家的話， 可能沒有那麼容易看出來

it's not that obvious, but just take a look, OK?

So here's the brain of a non-procrastinator.

Both brains have a Rational Decision-Maker in them,
