Urban discusses why we procrastinate

Writing Aug 10, 2020

Urban discusses why we procrastinate. List two times you have procrastinated recently. Next, list TWO times you managed your time well. How did you feel when you procrastinated? How did you feel when you managed your time well?
When we do "fun" things when we should be doing work (the "dark playground" Urban calls this), we feel guilty and do not entirely enjoy ourselves. With constant access to the internet, we have many more distractions than we would have 30, 100, 500 years ago. What can YOU do to better balance your time and ensure that you can spend your free time doing enjoyable things instead of being in that state of guilt/anxiety in the "dark playground"?
There are two kinds of procrastination: procrastinating with a deadline versus procrastinating with no deadlines. List three examples of procrastinating with deadlines and three examples of procrastinating without deadlines. (You can use the examples Urban gives or your own examples).
Urban said, when describing people who procrastinate, that "long-term procrastination has made them feel like a spectator in their own lives" (Urban). What does he mean by this?
