from The Business Accelerator: Accountability | Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

We're all guilty of putting off a task because "I don't feel like doing it" or "I'll do it later." If you wait until the last moment to get started on your task, you may be wondering why you procrastinated.  Tim Urban, founder of the famous blog, Wait But Why, is no exception. Urban shared a story of his 90-page senior thesis in college and how he spent months thinking, 'I'll get it started on it tomorrow.' Unfortunately, tomorrow never came, and months passed by without writing a single word. Then suddenly, Urban had only three days until the deadline. Thus, he pulled two all-nighters and finished a project that required months within 72 hours.
