Understanding Procrastination: How to be Nicer to Future You
Why do we delay working on our bigger work objectives to check email, or put off doing laundry until we have nothing clean to wear? How can we help ourselves when we confront Present Bias, the tendency to prioritize short-term rewards over long-term goals?
In this session, we’ll tackle Present Bias by exploring practical strategies to design systems that reduce its impact. You’ll learn how to recognize and minimize the friction caused by Present Bias, manage tasks more efficiently, and bring the rewards of completing future work into the present. By learning methods to overcome this bias, we can boost efficiency, productivity, and accountability – both individually and in teamwork.
Learning Outcomes:
- How to recognize and reduce the friction around Present Bias.
- How to manage and complete tasks more efficiently.
- How to bring the rewards of completing future work into the present.
