How I Work

BEST OF: Tim Urban on seeing the bigger picture and beating procrastination


Listen Later

You think you’ve got a procrastination problem? TIm Urban, the man behind the sensationally popular blog Wait But Why reckons he might have you covered. He’s so well-acquainted with procrastination, in fact, that he gave a TED talk on the topic… And finalised it at the last minute. 

However, for a self-proclaimed master procrastinator, Tim sure gets a lot done. And thankfully, among the many, many articles he’s written are some antidotes for the serial procrastinator. 

Tim shares his process for researching and understanding big, complex ideas, and turning them into digestible, entertaining reading.
