He admitted to not being able to understand tensors, which is not as hard as learning differential geometry by any stretch. If that guy scratched his feet while doing physics he got credit for it.

1 - Procrastination: Moderate procrastination increases creativity (because it gives our mind/subconscious time to ruminate on the idea). 2 - Fear and doubt: Fear and doubt are natural - embrace them. Idea doubt is healthy, self doubt is not. Use idea doubt to help refine your ideas. Rough drafts suck for a reason. Keep trying. Our biggest regrets are our inactions, not our actions. Instead of fearing failure, be more afraid of failing to try. People regret the things they never did more than the things they failed at. 3 - Lots of bad ideas: In order to have lots of good ideas, you will probably have lots of bad ideas too. Be willing to fail... a lot. In most cases, more failure equals more success. You won’t be judged for your bad ideas. Bonus: To be original, you don’t have to be first, you just have to be different and better (first mover advantage is mostly a myth). Don’t accept the default, look for a better solution.

I learned this win I won $3,000 scholarship from a public art design competition out of a room full of fine artists, graphic designers, and illustrators- I was one of the only filmmakers. The thing that pushed me above was that I just never stoped designing and redesigning. When everyone else was already making their 3-D versions, I STILL hadn’t settled on my design and it was the last week before it was due. We artists are fans of other art and we have specific taste, and I knew I just wasn’t there yet. I would know it when I see it. And I won. I took what I learned on every film I’ve done since and has led to success every single time. It’s my secret formula. I worked in a screenplay for a 8 MINUTE short everyday for 6 months. It ended up winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, etc at my local film showcase. That’s all you have to do: just work harder than anyone and never ever be satisfied with you first few drafts of something, not even your first 20 drafts I’d say. It really does make the difference.

It turned out i got the highest mark in that assignment because it was original and believable. I didn't even know what I was doing.

Specifically procrastinating about a creative writing task.

A HS art teacher of mine gave me one of the most important pieces of advice in my entire life... she'd see me frustrated with myself and my art piece and tell me, "you just haven't figured it out yet." This has become an encompassing mantra for me in my art, my career and my self. Lucky to have had this insight so young. Just stay the course and have basic trust that your efforts won't go unrewarded. You'll be compensated for your time and energy. Maybe not in money, but you will be rewarded. Love this TED!

Procrastination does help boost creativity. I was writing my first draft for a story I'm working on, and while doing it I was pretty excited about it and made great progress. But the zeal that I started with slowly waned and I started procrastinating more and eventually gave up towards the end. However, I resumed it after a year of other works, and I got brand new ideas, which kept a few essences of my first draft but was otherwise completely different, yet so much more better, I had more idea, and more ways to frame them.

Its not procrastination itself, but rather "distracting" yourself with other physical or mental tasks that are mildly mentally challenging. Something thats distracting enough for the subconcious mind to wander off, make new connections and then you have the inspired idea suddenly appear. The classic example of this is finding inspiration in the shower.

Same, I don’t do my work. So then, for example while using the shower, I come up with a plan for how to get it all done. It works too

I'm a procrastinator with ADHD. I struggle to get things done on time, always running late. It's been this way since I was a child, preferring to stay up with my parents. My procrastination has caused me a lot of suffering. Despite having numerous ideas, people don't take me seriously because I rarely act on them. I point out that my ideas would have been successful, but I lack the ability to take action. It's a mix of creativity and poor executive functions, a constant struggle with time management. We're like the group's visionary but unable to follow through. Occasionally, there's a breakthrough that earns temporary respect, but it quickly fades when our scheduling and productivity issues resurface. It's frustrating to have the potential but lack the ability to bring it to life.

When I was a kid my father nicknamed me "lazy Drew". He still has know Idea how I have thousands of alternative perspectives on virtually every topic that pops up in conversation. Turns out that my mind isn't very exciting to watch work but it's far from lazy. About 90% of my process is thought then I act suddenly. His observation was that I sit around doing nothing then rush thru it. What drives him crazy is that I do exceptional work this way. It's simple, I don't strangle my inspiration with waisted efforts. He's one of those practice makes perfect people, I'm always willing to risk absurdity. He thinks I'm absurd. We are pals but he would never take a job working with me.

Summary of the talk: "3 Unique traits of Originals" [1. Original thinkers are late to the game] -They tend to procrastinate, this allows for more time to consider many different possibilities. Some call it procrastinating, others may call it thinking -They are late to the game, but they finish strong. Look at companies like Google - they did not have the first mover advantage, but they were different and better than the original (Yahoo! etc.) [2. They have doubts and fears] -Original thinkers have doubts like the rest of us. Just they handle it differently. They doubt their ideas, not themselves. They say "Maybe this idea doesn't work, let's think of another one" and not "Maybe I'm not good enough" -They have fears just like the rest of us, but they are more scared of NOT doing something more than anything. The things we regret the most are the chances not taken [3. They act on a LOT of ideas.] The sheer number of ideas put into play provides you with a large amount of variety to pick the best from the bunch

Change 'Original Thinkers' with 'Game Changers'

"There's self doubt and idea doubt. Self doubt is paralysing, it leads you to freeze. But idea doubt is energising, it motivates you to test, to experiment, to refine." I'm gonna ask myself "Is it self doubt or is it idea doubt?" from now on.

4 years later I watched this video at the right moment. Thank you!

I think it's important to recognise CREATIVE procrastination requires you to _start_ something but then take your time to complete it, as opposed to the typical kind of procrastination where you put off doing it until later, often until the last minute.

I once saw a child procrastinator, guess what she doing while the whole family was frantically serving customers, she was day dreaming of fairy tales. After repeated futile urging her father got angry, got a cane & disciplined her. After this episode, she dried her tears, went downstairs and helped. Procrastinating can be used wrongly by the 'Unoriginals' to be more lazy and deceptive.

I feel you need to get over the initial fear of starting and have a go. Then try another approach , and another etc. Each attempt at a solution will be an education. NOW I have a helper in this; I tell Chat GPT what I have tried and explain what I am not happy about and ask for suggestions for other ways to solve the problem. I look through the suggestions and try them. >> more education for me > gradually I get closer.

I'm a musician and producer. I watched this video like one year ago and thought that you have to create a lot to generate a good idea but now I watched it again and I think I changed my mind. Currently I'm working in a studio that has a lot of big composers and producers coming and going and I've watched them work. How they create tracks out of nothing is with really simple ideas and they start to build on top of them. For example, you start with one melody in the Mellotron, simple, 8 bars, monophonic, and then you build a harmony on top. Then you switch sound and you make a new melody with a new rhythm and you rinse and repeat, I've seen guys do this for 30 minutes and after they have a HUGE and great sounding 8 bars, that now they can flesh out in a lengthier arrangement. I tested it and it works! It works because if you are not a crazy good instrumentalist you can play simple lines and then intertwine them together to make them work and have a super great idea at the end, instead of spending 2 hours trying to come up with something super original and getting frustrated for your lack of technical ability in guitar. In the end I think the 'bad ideas' talked in this video they are real for sure but the 'not so good' or 'not creative enough' can act as building blocks of the big idea, just keep writing and keep yourself in the creative flow.

Haha that’s me

Wow, so many great insights, the procrastination one completely changed my way of thinking also acting on your ideas no matter how foolish they might seem in the beginning is the key! I can’t wait to buy and read his book!

Haha, I started an art business, in the great big holiday time. My home schooling turned out to be my kids and others, and I've had to take a step back while I steady the course. This is encouraging.

I am an original thinker and it is bloody hard work... I wrote a chapter of 14,000 words in ten days last month and scrapped it. It took me 12 attempts to perfect another chapter of 12,000 words... each time completing the chapter and scrapping it. I submitted my PhD thesis, successfully defended it in the viva, and started rewriting it with a different argument (aka a new thesis using the same data but with a different original argument). Seven years, and I predict my thesis will be complete in 2018. There are now students that I taught as first year undergrads who are graduating with their PhDs before me. The biggest problem with being original is that there is no other material out there that you are building on... or very little because what exists you have taken and moved it in a different direction. That has been the constant battle because my supervisors keep saying I need to show awareness of the field but I am pioneering the field and it has yet to catch up to where I am. It is easy having original ideas but it is difficult implementing them to a successful conclusion.

+Mark Lengyel Same. But not too much later. Just later enough.

What an excellent presentation and one that I think could only be made by a precrastinator about procrastinators. I admire the amount of work and rehearsal that must have gone into making this so slick. Without doubt the best strategic presentation I ever gave was the one that I wrote the night before I gave it. I had tinkered with everyone elses to the endth degree before finally starting my own. I had nowhere else to go except to dodge the moving bullet. Get it wrong and its game over.....but get it right and you will make a whole load of precrastinators very happy. Unfortunately I hate this pressure which I put on myself but at the same time I thrive on it. There must be a way to enduce the pressure and deliver the results without actually leaving things to the last minute. The other thing that resonates with me in his presentation was the idea that procrastinators just think a lot more about a topic. I think there is a lot of truth in this and often procrastinators can spend days thinking about something that others perform and complete in 10 minutes. This is where self awareness and control come in. I am NOT going to think about this task but I am just going to start it and complete it. For a procrastinator this is like taking heroine from a junkie. WHAT!!! I AM NOT ALLOWED TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR DAYS???

Many originals aren't even given the chance to express their creativity.They are already crippled and punished at school for characteristics (such as procrastination and many others) that, like it was said in the video, fuel creativity. Society rarely... never takes into account those unusual characteristics of those unusual creative people - its task is to destroy all those "dangerous" characteristics, putting forward what society calls "productivity" over creativity. And this makes sense since society is very focused on mediocrity, because mediocrity is the majority! Society caters for the needs of the many! NOT the few exceptional people. But even though originals are few, the new ideas they can put out into the world can literally transform it. So spotting and nourishing originality and creativity is of great value. Only we rarely do spot creativity let alone nourish it...Many exceptional and creative people have only been recognized long after their death. Truly exceptional and creative people don't really need society though... Nah... they are lost in their creative mind, in their art (the confirmation of their worth is made through their expression of the art they focus on, which is why they can bare and don't really mind about being considered outcasts). No they don't need society - society needs them.

Or rather u want to give ur work to a person who don't even know to talk properly and u don't even know their talent? Have a atleast, didn't charisma and you won't worry...

I used to procrastinate on the important task of the day and do the smaller tasks first and realised that didn't have enough time to do the important stuff. For me personally, using the Pareto Principle has literally changed my life. Once you realise that 20% of your actions will provide 80% of the results you start to look at things from a different perspective.

That's the same idea Jon Cleece mentioned about how to be creative. The creative people keep pondering upon the ideas and problems without jumping straight to the solution when being presented to them. They wait until the last minute to submit their ideas to keep thinking until they cannot think anymore.

this is great but also dangerous because it massages the ego of the complacent and idle failure

Surprisingly this is the best Ted I have ever heard

The references to Tim Urban’s TED Talk mark the beginning of the TED Talk Cinematic Universe.

This episode could have been titled differently. It is not about being original, nor about trying many ideas, nor about any number of factors he mentioned. It is about Time! Speed is extremely overrated, unfortunately. But it is emphasized the most. Time assures Quality! It is why procrastination works. I learned that from a difficult project that engaged me for over 25 years. I am still on it. I asked myself a few years ago why I stayed with my project for so long, and why I did not get done with it years ago. At that point, I was even past rushing it. One word captured it all, which is why I believe this episode could have been titled differently. It is about letting ideas FERMENT! Once you plant an idea in your heads, let it ferment. Fermentation brings out the best. It means Clarity. It means Quality. And it will pass for Originality. Let things Ferment in your heads. Magic happens. Try it.
