Urban ushbu quvnoq nutqida bizga YouTube bo'ylab sayohat, Vikipedia tuzog'i kabilarni misol keltirib, aslida biz qanday qilib vaqtimiz tugamagunicha hech ish qilmasligimiz va bu qanday oqibatlarga olib kelishi haqida gapiradi.

So in college,

0

645

1370

Universitetda men

00:15

I was a government major,

1

3349

1564

davlat boshqaruvini o'rgandim.

00:16

which means I had to write
a lot of papers.

2

4937

2462

Shuning uchun menga ko'p yozma
ishlar berishardi.

00:19

Now, when a normal student writes a paper,

3

7423

2048

Oddiy talabalar buni bajarishda

00:21

they might spread the work out
a little like this.

4

9495

2373

ishni quyidagidek taqsimlashadi.

00:23

So, you know --

5

11892

1151

Demak, tushundingiz...

00:25

(Laughter)

6

13067

1657

Oz-ozdan boshlaysiz,

00:26

you get started maybe a little slowly,

7

14748

1827

Birinchi hafta

00:28

but you get enough done in the first week

8

16599

1968

xuddi shunday hajmda yozasiz.

00:30

that, with some heavier days later on,

9

18591

1831

Keyin ishni yanada tezlashtirib,

00:32

everything gets done, things stay civil.

10

20446

2157

so'ngida o'z vaqtida topshirish uchun.

00:34

(Laughter)

11

22627

1202

(Kulgu)

00:35

And I would want to do that like that.

12

23853

2271

Men ham doim shunday qilishni xohlaganman.

00:38

That would be the plan.

13

26148

1194

Shunday reja qilganman.

00:39

I would have it all ready to go,

14

27366

2490

Shunday ham bo'lganki, men deyarli
ishni boshlardimu

00:41

but then, actually, the paper
would come along,

15

29880

2494

keyin hammasi birdan o'z-o'zidan
buzilib ketardi.

00:44

and then I would kind of do this.

16

32398

1941

Keyin mana bunday holat yuzaga kelardi.

00:46

(Laughter)

17

34363

2370

(Kulgu)

00:48

And that would happen every single paper.

18

36757

2143

Doim shunaqa bo'laverardi.

00:51

But then came my 90-page senior thesis,

19

39638

3882

Keyin esa 90 betlik diplom ishini yozish
vaqti keldi.

00:55

a paper you're supposed
to spend a year on.

20

43544

2287

g'oyasi bo'yicha unga bir yil ajratilardi.

00:57

And I knew for a paper like that,
my normal work flow was not an option.

21

45855

3619

Biroq diplom ishi uchun bu yondashuvim
ish bermaydi deya fikrlay boshladim.

01:01

It was way too big a project.

22

49498

1401

Bu juda katta proyekt.

01:02

So I planned things out,

23

50923

1153

Hammasini rejalashtirib,

01:04

and I decided I kind of had
to go something like this.

24

52100

3205

quyidagicha ish tutishga qaror qildim.

01:07

This is how the year would go.

25

55781

1452

Bu mening bir yillik rejam.

01:09

So I'd start off light,

26

57257

1967

Behazil, boshlayman, dedim o'zimga.

01:11

and I'd bump it up in the middle months,

27

59248

2318

O'rtasiga yaqin tempni oshiraman,

01:13

and then at the end,
I would kick it up into high gear

28

61590

2626

oxirroqda esa yanada tezlashaman.

01:16

just like a little staircase.

29

64240

1439

Shunday zinapoya kelib chiqdi.

01:17

How hard could it be
to walk up the stairs?

30

65703

2062

Zinama-zina ko'tarilish - oddiy!

01:20

No big deal, right?

31

68233

1319

Juda oson, to'g'rimi?

01:23

But then, the funniest thing happened.

32

71090

1810

Lekin keyin qiziq narsa yuz berdi.

01:24

Those first few months?

33

72924

1311

Dastlabki oylar

01:26

They came and went,

34

74791

1167

kelishdi va ketishdi,

01:27

and I couldn't quite do stuff.

35

75982

1585

men xatto boshlaganim ham yo'q.

01:29

So we had an awesome new revised plan.

36

77591

1849

Shuning uchun yangi reja paydo bo'ldi.

01:31

(Laughter)

37

79464

1167

Aniqroq.

01:32

And then --

38

80655

1159

Keyin esa...

01:33

(Laughter)

39

81838

1882

(Kulgu)

01:35

But then those middle months
actually went by,

40

83744

2784

Ketidan o'rtadagi oylar ham o'tib ketdi.

01:38

and I didn't really write words,

41

86552

2182

Men esa yozishni boshlamadim ham.

01:40

and so we were here.

42

88758

1835

Shunday jarayon...

01:43

And then two months turned into one month,

43

91500

2576

Keyin esa ikki oy bir oyga aylandi,

01:46

which turned into two weeks.

44

94100

1625

keyin ikki haftaga.

01:47

And one day I woke up

45

95749

1309

Bir kuni uyg'onsam,

01:49

with three days until the deadline,

46

97724

2619

topshirish kunigacha uch kun qolgan.

01:53

still not having written a word,

47

101502

1931

Menda birorta so'z ham yozilmagan.

01:55

and so I did the only thing I could:

48

103457

2059

Shuning uchun men yagona yo'lni tanladim:

01:57

I wrote 90 pages over 72 hours,

49

105540

2607

90 ta betni 72 soatda yozdim.

02:00

pulling not one but two all-nighters --

50

108171

2276

Bittamas, ikkita to'liq tunni
uyqusiz o'tkazib.

02:02

humans are not supposed to pull
two all-nighters --

51

110471

2569

Inson uchun ikkita ketma-ket uyqusiz tun
juda zarar.

02:06

sprinted across campus,

52

114373

1993

Butun kampus bo'ylab yugurib bordim,

sekinlashtirilgan kadrdagidek.

02:08

dove in slow motion,

53

116390

1486

02:09

and got it in just at the deadline.

54

117900

2056

Oxirgi soniyada topshirishga ulgurdim.

02:11

I thought that was the end of everything.

55

119980

2024

Endi hammasini qutuldim deb o'ylagan edim.

02:14

But a week later I get a call,

56

122028

1559

Lekin bir hafta o'tgach

02:15

and it's the school.

57

123611

1486

o'qishdan telefon qilishdi.

02:17

And they say, "Is this Tim Urban?"

58

125757

1639

So'rashdi: "Tim Urban?"

02:19

And I say, "Yeah."

59

127420

1468

Javob berdim: "Xa".

02:20

And they say, "We need
to talk about your thesis."

60

128912

2340

"Diplom ishingizni muhokama
qilishimiz kerak".

02:23

And I say, "OK."

61

131276

1255

"Yaxshi", - dedim.

02:25

And they say,

62

133468

1222

Ular davom etishdi:

02:27

"It's the best one we've ever seen."

63

135230

1896

"Bu xotiramizdagi eng zo'r diplom ishi"

02:29

(Laughter)

64

137150

1705

(Kulgu)

02:32

(Applause)

65

140014

2690

(Qarsaklar)

02:36

That did not happen.

66

144945

1302

Afsuski, unaqa bo'lmadi.

02:38

(Laughter)

67

146271

2138

(Kulgu)

02:40

It was a very, very bad thesis.

68

148433

2623

Diplom ishi juda-juda yomon edi.

02:43

(Laughter)

69

151080

2274

(Kulgu)

02:45

I just wanted to enjoy that one moment
when all of you thought,

70

153378

4100

Men faqat bu lahzadan rohatlangim keldi,
men haqda

02:49

"This guy is amazing!"

71

157502

1905

"Barakalla! Yashavor!" deganlaringizda.

02:51

(Laughter)

72

159431

1348

(Kulgu)

02:52

No, no, it was very, very bad.

73

160803

1667

Yo'q, diplom ishi foydasiz edi.

02:55

Anyway, today I'm a writer-blogger guy.

74

163343

3408

Mana, hozir esa men yozuvchi va blogerman.

02:58

I write the blog Wait But Why.

75

166775

1743

Blogim 'Wait But Why' deb nomlanadi.

03:00

And a couple of years ago,
I decided to write about procrastination.

76

168542

3736

Ikki yil oldin men prokrastinatsiya haqida
yozishga qaror qildim.

03:04

My behavior has always perplexed
the non-procrastinators around me,

77

172302

3284

Mening harakatlarim prokrastinator
bo'lmaganlarni doim o'yga solardi.

03:07

and I wanted to explain
to the non-procrastinators of the world

78

175610

3688

Va men butun dunyoga shuni
isbotlashni xohladim:

03:11

what goes on in the heads
of procrastinators,

79

179322

2107

prokrastinatorlarning miyasida
nimalar yuz

03:13

and why we are the way we are.

80

181453

1440

beradi va nega biz bunaqamiz.

03:14

Now, I had a hypothesis

81

182917

1156

Menda shunday teoriya

03:16

that the brains of procrastinators
were actually different

82

184097

2855

bor edi, prokrastinator miyasi aslida
boshqalarnikiga

03:18

than the brains of other people.

83

186976

1957

qaraganda farq qiladi deb o'ylardim.

03:21

And to test this, I found an MRI lab

84

189698

2191

Buni tekshirish uchun men MRTga bordim.

03:23

that actually let me scan both my brain

85

191913

2432

U yerda meni va sinalgan, prokrastinator
bo'lmagan

03:26

and the brain of a proven
non-procrastinator,

86

194369

2655

insonni miyasini skanerlashdi.

03:29

so I could compare them.

87

197048

1435

Taqqoslash uchun.

03:30

I actually brought them here
to show you today.

88

198507

2201

Sizlarga ko'rsatishga natijalarni
olib keldim.

03:32

I want you to take a look carefully
to see if you can notice a difference.

89

200732

3537

Yaxshilab qarang: farqni ko'ra olasizmi.

03:36

I know that if you're not
a trained brain expert,

90

204293

2314

Bilaman, sizlar buni o'rganmagansizlar,

03:38

it's not that obvious,
but just take a look, OK?

91

206631

2263

tushunish osonmas - shundayam
bir harakat qiling.

03:40

So here's the brain
of a non-procrastinator.

92

208918

2128

Bu prokrastinator bo'lmagan
insonning miyasi.

03:43

(Laughter)

93

211835

2274

(Kulgu) [Ratsional inson]

03:46

Now ...

94

214133

1151

Mana bu esa...

03:48

here's my brain.

95

216325

1314

mening miyam.

03:50

(Laughter)

96

218280

2726

(Kulgu) [Lahzali zavqlanishni
talab qiluvchi maymun]

03:55

There is a difference.

97

223713

1564

Farq katta.

03:57

Both brains have a Rational
Decision-Maker in them,

98

225904

2388

Undayam, bundayam ratsional inson bor.

04:00

but the procrastinator's brain

99

228316

1652

Lekin prokrastinatorning miyasida

04:01

also has an Instant Gratification Monkey.

100

229992

2986

lahzali zavqlanishni talab qiluvchi maymun
ham yashaydi.

04:05

Now, what does this mean
for the procrastinator?

101

233002

2302

Prokrastinator uchun bu qanday
yakun topadi?

04:07

Well, it means everything's fine
until this happens.

102

235328

2441

Quyidagi holat yuz bermagunicha
hammasi yaxshi.

04:09

[This is a perfect time
to get some work done.] [Nope!]

103

237793

2622

[Ishlashning ayni vaqti.]
[Yo'q!]

04:12

So the Rational Decision-Maker
will make the rational decision

104

240439

2933

Ratsional inson ratsional qarorlar
chiqaradi.

04:15

to do something productive,

105

243396

1896

Unumli ishlash...

04:17

but the Monkey doesn't like that plan,

106

245316

1950

Lekin maymunchaga bu reja yoqmaydi.

04:19

so he actually takes the wheel,

107

247290

1508

U shturvalni o'z qo'liga oladi

04:20

and he says, "Actually, let's read
the entire Wikipedia page

108

248822

2881

va shunday deydi: "Yaxshisi, Vikipediyani
o'qiymiz,

04:23

of the Nancy Kerrigan/
Tonya Harding scandal,

109

251727

2136

Nensi Kerrigan va Tonya Harding
mojarolari,

04:25

because I just remembered
that that happened.

110

253887

2131

negadir birdan ular esimga tushib qoldi".

04:28

(Laughter)

111

256042

1016

(Kulgu)

04:29

Then --

112

257082

1158

Keyin...

04:30

(Laughter)

113

258264

1263

(Kulgu)

04:31

Then we're going to go over to the fridge,

114

259551

2038

Keyin biz muzlatgich yoniga boramiz,

04:33

to see if there's anything new
in there since 10 minutes ago.

115

261613

2866

xuddi oxirgi 10 daqiqa ichida u yerda
nimadir o'zgargandek.

04:36

After that, we're going to go
on a YouTube spiral

116

264503

2638

Keyin esa bizni YouTube girdobiga tortib
ketadi:

04:39

that starts with videos
of Richard Feynman talking about magnets

117

267165

3250

Richard Faynmanning magnitlar haqidagi
suhbatidan boshlaymiz,

04:42

and ends much, much later
with us watching interviews

118

270439

2716

va katta yo'l bosib o'tilgach bu jarayonni
Jastin Biber va

04:45

with Justin Bieber's mom.

119

273179

1880

onasini intervyusi bilan yakunlaymiz.

04:47

(Laughter)

120

275083

2188

(Kulgu)

04:49

"All of that's going to take a while,

121

277295

1763

Bu juda katta vaqt oladi.

04:51

so we're not going to really have room
on the schedule for any work today.

122

279082

3502

Shuning uchun ishlashga vaqt ajratish
bizda deyarli o'xshamaydi.

04:54

Sorry!"

123

282608

1163

Meni kechir...

04:55

(Sigh)

124

283795

1165

(Xo'rsinadi)

04:58

Now, what is going on here?

125

286325

3369

Xo'sh, aslida nima yuz beradi?

05:03

The Instant Gratification Monkey
does not seem like a guy

126

291481

2691

Maymuncha - rulni boshqarish uchun

05:06

you want behind the wheel.

127

294196

1254

yaxshi kandidat emas.

05:07

He lives entirely in the present moment.

128

295474

1945

U hozirgi vaqt bilan yashaydi.

05:09

He has no memory of the past,
no knowledge of the future,

129

297443

2828

U o'tmishni eslamaydi va kelajakni
bilmaydi.

05:12

and he only cares about two things:

130

300295

1697

Uni faqat ikkita narsa qiziqtiradi:

05:14

easy and fun.

131

302016

1683

oddiylik va quvnoqlik.

05:16

Now, in the animal world, that works fine.

132

304338

3092

Hayvonot olamida bu zo'r ishlaydi.

05:19

If you're a dog

133

307454

1208

Agar siz it bo'lsangiz,

05:20

and you spend your whole life doing
nothing other than easy and fun things,

134

308686

3571

butun umringizni faqat quvnash bilan
o'tkazsangiz, siz juda

05:24

you're a huge success!

135

312281

1165

muvaffaqiyatli itsiz!

05:25

(Laughter)

136

313470

1911

(Kulgu)

05:27

And to the Monkey,

137

315405

1286

Maymuncha uchun

05:29

humans are just another animal species.

138

317969

2094

insonlar ham xuddi shunday jonivor.

05:32

You have to keep well-slept, well-fed
and propagating into the next generation,

139

320087

4506

Uning fikricha siz yaxshigina uxlashingiz,
ovqatlanishingiz va ko'payishingiz kerak.

05:36

which in tribal times
might have worked OK.

140

324617

2286

Bu albatta g'orda yashash davrida
ish berardi.

05:38

But, if you haven't noticed,
now we're not in tribal times.

141

326927

2850

Xali payqamagan bo'lsangiz — biz endi
g'orlarda yashamaymiz.

05:41

We're in an advanced civilization,
and the Monkey does not know what that is.

142

329801

4133

Biz rivojlangan sivilizatsiyadamiz,
maymuncha esa bundan umuman habarsiz.

05:45

Which is why we have
another guy in our brain,

143

333958

2281

Shuning uchun, miyamizda yana bir
personaj bor:

05:48

the Rational Decision-Maker,

144

336263

2365

ratsional insoncha.

05:50

who gives us the ability to do things
no other animal can do.

145

338652

3027

Boshqa jonivorlar qila olmaydigan
ishlarni bajara oladigan,

05:53

We can visualize the future.

146

341703

1921

kelajakni tasavvur qila oladigan,

05:55

We can see the big picture.

147

343648

1752

to'liq kartinani ko'ra oladigan,

05:57

We can make long-term plans.

148

345424

1350

uzoq rejalar tuza oladigan,

05:58

And he wants to take
all of that into account.

149

346798

2483

barini nazorat qilishni xohlaydigan
ratsional inson.

06:02

And he wants to just have us do

150

350138

1691

U xoxlaydiki, biz aynan hozir ma'no

06:03

whatever makes sense
to be doing right now.

151

351853

2948

anglatadigan ishni bajarishimizni. Hozir.

06:06

Now, sometimes it makes sense

152

354825

1389

Albatta ba'zan oson, yoqimli

06:08

to be doing things that are easy and fun,

153

356238

2029

bo'lgan ishlarni qilishda ham ma'no bor.

06:10

like when you're having dinner
or going to bed

154

358291

2151

Masalan, ovqatlanish yoki uxlash,

06:12

or enjoying well-earned leisure time.

155

360466

1828

yoki o'zingizga loyiq holda dam olish.

06:14

That's why there's an overlap.

156

362318

1450

Shuning uchun ba'zan maqsadlar

06:15

Sometimes they agree.

157

363792

1744

tutashishadi: ba'zan maymuncha va

06:17

But other times, it makes much more sense

158

365560

2822

ratsional insonning maqsadi
bir xil bo'ladi.

06:20

to be doing things that are harder
and less pleasant,

159

368406

3602

Lekin ba'zida qiyin va o'zimizga
yoqmaydigan ishlar

06:24

for the sake of the big picture.

160

372032

1540

bizga ko'proq foydalidir.

06:25

And that's when we have a conflict.

161

373596

1889

Va aynan shunda konflikt yuzaga keladi.

06:28

And for the procrastinator,

162

376017

1315

Prokrastinator uchun

06:29

that conflict tends to end
a certain way every time,

163

377356

2509

bu konflikt doim bir xil yakun topadi:

06:31

leaving him spending a lot of time
in this orange zone,

164

379889

3720

u ko'p vaqtni to'q sariq zonada sarflaydi.

06:35

an easy and fun place that's entirely
out of the Makes Sense circle.

165

383633

4327

U yerda hammasi oson, zavqli, va
ratsionallik doirasidan tashqarida.

06:39

I call it the Dark Playground.

166

387984

2279

Men buni Yovuz o'yin maydonchasi
deb atayman.

06:42

(Laughter)

167

390287

1624

(Kulgu)

06:43

Now, the Dark Playground is a place

168

391935

3128

Yovuz o'yin maydonchasi.

06:47

that all of you procrastinators
out there know very well.

169

395087

3192

Barcha prokrastinatorlarga juda yaxshi
tanish.

06:50

It's where leisure activities happen

170

398892

1804

U yerda barcha o'yin-kulgu aynan

06:52

at times when leisure activities
are not supposed to be happening.

171

400720

3310

o'yin-kulguni vaqti emas, bandlik yuqori
bo'lgan paytda bo'ladi.

06:56

The fun you have in the Dark Playground

172

404418

1890

Yovuz o'yin maydonchaning o'yin-kulgusi

06:58

isn't actually fun,
because it's completely unearned,

173

406332

2483

aslida hech qanday o'yin-kulgu emas,
siz o'zingizda

07:00

and the air is filled with guilt,
dread, anxiety, self-hatred --

174

408839

3215

aybdorlik hissi, qo'rquv va
o'zingizga bo'lgan nafratni his qilasiz.

07:04

all of those good procrastinator feelings.

175

412078

2118

Hammasi prokrastinatorning yo'ldoshlari.

07:06

And the question is, in this situation,
with the Monkey behind the wheel,

176

414703

3476

Maymuncha shturvalda turgan bir paytda
asosiy savol:

07:10

how does the procrastinator ever get
himself over here to this blue zone,

177

418203

3593

prokrastinator qanday qilib o'zini ko'k
zonaga o'tkazishi kerak?

07:13

a less pleasant place, but where
really important things happen?

178

421820

3281

U yer yoqimli joy emas, lekin eng muhim
ishlar ham o'sha yerda

07:17

Well, turns out the procrastinator
has a guardian angel,

179

425125

5037

amalga oshadi. Aslida, prokrastinatorlarda
qutqaruvchi-farishta bor ekan,

07:22

someone who's always looking
down on him and watching over him

180

430186

3208

u doim orqamizdan kuzatadi,

07:25

in his darkest moments --

181

433418

1430

eng qiyin paytda paydo bo'ladi

07:26

someone called the Panic Monster.

182

434872

2095

— uning ismi Vahimali Mahluq.

07:28

(Laughter)

183

436991

3078

(Kulgu)

07:34

Now, the Panic Monster
is dormant most of the time,

184

442386

4860

Bu mahluq ko'pincha uyquda yotadi,

07:39

but he suddenly wakes up
anytime a deadline gets too close

185

447270

3902

lekin berilgan vaqt tugayotganda birdan
uyg'onib ketadi, yoki sizni

07:43

or there's danger of public embarrassment,

186

451196

2045

ommaviy sharmandalik kutayotgan bo'lsa.

07:45

a career disaster or some other
scary consequence.

187

453265

2511

Ishdagi muvaffaqiyatsizlik yoki
boshqa oqibatlar.

07:47

And importantly, he's the only thing
the Monkey is terrified of.

188

455800

4172

Muhimi, maymuncha Mahluqdan
qattiq qo'rqadi.

Oxirgi paytlarda menda u bilan juda

07:51

Now, he became very relevant
in my life pretty recently,

189

459996

4578

ko'p narsa bog'liq.

07:56

because the people of TED
reached out to me about six months ago

190

464598

3246

Chunki, 6 oy oldin meni

07:59

and invited me to do a TED Talk.

191

467868

2021

TED da nutq qilish uchun taklif qilishdi.

08:01

(Laughter)

192

469913

2428

(Kulgu)

08:07

Now, of course, I said yes.

193

475058

1907

Albatta men rozi bo'ldim.

08:08

It's always been a dream of mine
to have done a TED Talk in the past.

194

476989

3805

Doim orqaga, o'tmishimga qarab, TED da
qanday gapirganimni eslashni xohlar edim.

08:12

(Laughter)

195

480818

3972

(Kulgu)
[Bir paytlar men TED da nutq qilganman.]

08:16

(Applause)

196

484814

3697

(Qarsaklar)

08:24

But in the middle of all this excitement,

197

492203

1969

Lekin shunday bir quvonchli lahzada

08:26

the Rational Decision-Maker seemed
to have something else on his mind.

198

494196

3301

ratsional insonni bir narsa
xavotirga solar edi.

08:29

He was saying, "Are we clear
on what we just accepted?

199

497521

2548

U shunday derdi: "Biz nimaga rozi
bo'lganimizni

08:32

Do we get what's going to be now
happening one day in the future?

200

500093

3249

tushunayapmizmi? Ertaga nima
bo'lishini bilamizmi?

08:35

We need to sit down
and work on this right now."

201

503366

2267

Hozir shuning ustida bosh
qotirishimiz kerak".

08:37

And the Monkey said, "Totally agree,
but let's just open Google Earth

202

505657

3265

Maymuncha esa: "Butunlay qo'shilaman,
lekin Google Earthni ochamiz,

08:40

and zoom in to the bottom of India,
like 200 feet above the ground,

203

508946

3160

Hindistonning janubini 60 metr
balandlikdan kuzatamiz,

08:44

and scroll up for two and a half hours
til we get to the top of the country,

204

512130

3621

va to shimoligacha borguncha yarim
soat sarflaymiz, axir Hindistonni

08:47

so we can get a better feel for India."

205

515775

1978

yaxshilab o'rganishimiz kerakku".

08:49

(Laughter)

206

517777

4435

(Kulgu)

08:55

So that's what we did that day.

207

523149

1485

Biz aynan shu ishni qildik.

08:56

(Laughter)

208

524658

2670

(Kulgu)

09:00

As six months turned into four
and then two and then one,

209

528604

3896

Olti oy 4 oyga aylandi, keyin 2, keyin
bir — TED tashkilotchilari nutq

09:04

the people of TED decided
to release the speakers.

210

532524

3095

qiluvchilarning ro'yxatini e'lon qilishdi.

09:07

And I opened up the website,
and there was my face

211

535643

2612

Men saytga kirdim va o'zimni suratimni

09:10

staring right back at me.

212

538279

1356

ko'rdim, u menga qarayotgandi.

09:11

And guess who woke up?

213

539659

1600

Topingchi, keyin kim uyg'ondi?

09:13

(Laughter)

214

541283

3115

(Kulgu)

09:17

So the Panic Monster
starts losing his mind,

215

545430

2450

Vahimali Mahluq esidan og'ayotgandek edi,

09:19

and a few seconds later,
the whole system's in mayhem.

216

547904

2746

bir sekund o'tgach shunday tartibsizlik
boshlandi.

09:22

(Laughter)

217

550674

2446

(Kulgu)

09:27

And the Monkey -- remember,
he's terrified of the Panic Monster --

218

555511

3101

Maymuncha, eslataman, mahluqdan o'lgudek
qo'rqadi.

09:30

boom, he's up the tree!

219

558636

1158

Tezda palmaga chiqadi.

09:31

And finally,

220

559818

1151

Nihoyat.

09:32

finally, the Rational Decision-Maker
can take the wheel

221

560993

2596

Ratsional inson shturvalni o'z
qo'liga oladi,

09:35

and I can start working on the talk.

222

563613

1718

va men ishlashni boshlayman.

09:37

Now, the Panic Monster explains

223

565355

2288

Vahimali Mahluqning paydo bo'lishi

09:39

all kinds of pretty insane
procrastinator behavior,

224

567667

3481

prokrastinatorlarning barcha
ahmoqliklarini izohlaydi.

09:43

like how someone like me
could spend two weeks

225

571172

2334

Masalan, menga o'xshash kimdir ishga
kirishishni

09:45

unable to start the opening
sentence of a paper,

226

573530

3844

ikki haftaga orqaga suradi, keyin esa

09:49

and then miraculously find
the unbelievable work ethic

227

577398

2771

qandaydir mo'jiza unda ishga chanqoqlik
uyg'otadi.

09:52

to stay up all night
and write eight pages.

228

580193

3096

Va u tuni bilan uxlamasdan sakkizta
bet yozadi.

09:56

And this entire situation,
with the three characters --

229

584385

2982

Bu uchta personaj haqidagi butun voqelik —

09:59

this is the procrastinator's system.

230

587391

2020

prokrastinatorning ishlash sxemasidir.

10:02

It's not pretty, but in the end, it works.

231

590096

3425

Unchalik yoqimli emas, lekin bu ishlaydi.

10:05

This is what I decided to write about
on the blog a couple of years ago.

232

593545

4062

Mana o'z blogimda ikki yil oldin nima
haqida yozishga harakat qilgandim.

10:09

When I did, I was amazed by the response.

233

597631

2971

Bu ishni qilganimdan keyin esa sharhlar
meni hayron qoldirdi.

10:12

Literally thousands of emails came in,

234

600626

2153

Mingga yaqin xabar oldim.

10:14

from all different kinds of people
from all over the world,

235

602803

2777

Dunyo bo'ylab turli xil insonlardan,

10:17

doing all different kinds of things.

236

605604

1738

har xil kasb egalari:

10:19

These are people who were nurses,
bankers, painters, engineers

237

607366

2966

hamshira, bankir, rassom, muhandis,

10:22

and lots and lots of PhD students.

238

610356

2322

va juda ko'pchilik aspirantlardan.

10:24

(Laughter)

239

612702

2001

(Kulgu)

10:26

And they were all writing,
saying the same thing:

240

614727

2288

Va ularning hammasi bir gap aytishardi:

10:29

"I have this problem too."

241

617039

1952

"Menda ham shunday muammo".

10:31

But what struck me was the contrast
between the light tone of the post

242

619015

3829

Lekin meni hayron qoldirgani postning
yengilligi va

10:34

and the heaviness of these emails.

243

622868

2095

bu xabarlarning jiddiyligi orasidagi farq.

10:36

These people were writing
with intense frustration

244

624987

3083

Odamlar tushkun kayfiyatda edi,

10:40

about what procrastination
had done to their lives,

245

628094

2762

prokrastinatsiyaning ularni hayotiga
ta'siri,

10:42

about what this Monkey had done to them.

246

630880

2030

maymunchaning qilgan ishlaridan.

10:46

And I thought about this, and I said,

247

634902

2966

Men o'ylanib qoldim:

10:49

well, if the procrastinator's system
works, then what's going on?

248

637892

3112

agar prokrastinatorlarning sxemasi ish
bersa, muammo nimada?

10:53

Why are all of these people
in such a dark place?

249

641028

2486

Nimaga bu insonlar shunchalik
tushkun kayfiyatda?

10:55

Well, it turns out that there's
two kinds of procrastination.

250

643538

3298

Aslida, prokrastinatsiyaning ikkita
turi bor ekan.

10:59

Everything I've talked about today,
the examples I've given,

251

647987

2834

Bugun keltirgan hamma misollarim,
gapirganlarimda

11:02

they all have deadlines.

252

650845

1151

aniq bir muddat mavjud.

11:04

And when there's deadlines,

253

652020

1298

Muddat qo'yilganda esa

11:05

the effects of procrastination
are contained to the short term

254

653342

2925

prokrastinatsiyaning ta'siri vaqt bilan
chegaralangan —

11:08

because the Panic Monster gets involved.

255

656291

1913

Vahimali Mahluqqa rahmat.

11:10

But there's a second kind
of procrastination

256

658228

2054

Lekin prokrastinatsiyaning boshqa turi

11:12

that happens in situations
when there is no deadline.

257

660306

2487

ham bor, hech qanday muddat bo'lmaganda.

11:14

So if you wanted a career
where you're a self-starter --

258

662817

2690

Karyerangizni qurishni,
shaxsiy ishingizni ochishni,

11:17

something in the arts,
something entrepreneurial --

259

665531

2413

ijod qilish yoki biznes boshlashni
xohlaysiz,

11:19

there's no deadlines on those things
at first, because nothing's happening,

260

667968

3525

ularda muddat yo'q, chunki siz o'zingiz
ishlashni boshlamaguningizcha,

11:23

not until you've gone out
and done the hard work

261

671517

2244

ishingiz iziga tushib ketmaguncha

11:25

to get momentum, get things going.

262

673785

1626

hech narsa yuz bermaydi.

11:27

There's also all kinds of important things
outside of your career

263

675435

3078

Karyeradan tashqari aniq bir
muddati bo'lmagan

11:30

that don't involve any deadlines,

264

678537

1605

yana boshqa muhim narsalar ko'p.

11:32

like seeing your family or exercising
and taking care of your health,

265

680166

3265

Masalan, ota-onangizni ko'rishga borish,
sport bilan shug'ullanish,

11:35

working on your relationship

266

683455

1404

munosabatlarni mustahkamlash

11:36

or getting out of a relationship
that isn't working.

267

684883

2681

yoki ularni yakunlash, bu sizni holdan
toydirgan bo'lsa.

11:39

Now if the procrastinator's only mechanism
of doing these hard things

268

687588

5148

Agar prokrastinator uchun muhim
vazifalarni bajarishning yagona yechimi —

11:44

is the Panic Monster, that's a problem,

269

692760

1885

mahluq yordami bo'lsa, bu katta muammo.

11:46

because in all of these
non-deadline situations,

270

694669

2800

Chunki, muddatsiz holatlarda hech

11:49

the Panic Monster doesn't show up.

271

697493

1628

qanday mahluq yordamga kelmaydi.

11:51

He has nothing to wake up for,

272

699145

1452

U uyg'onmaydi.

11:52

so the effects of procrastination,
they're not contained;

273

700621

2698

Bu holatda prokrastinatsiya umuman
chegaralanmaydi,

11:55

they just extend outward forever.

274

703343

1740

hammasi orqaga surilib boraveradi.

11:57

And it's this long-term
kind of procrastination

275

705953

2740

Aynan shunday uzoq muddatli
prokrastinatsiyaga

12:00

that's much less visible
and much less talked about

276

kamdan-kam holatlarda e'tibor beriladi va
kam muhokama qilinadi.

12:03

than the funnier, short-term
deadline-based kind.

277

711822

2901

Yakuniy muddatli prokrastinatsiya
ko'proq qiziq ko'rinadi.

12:06

It's usually suffered
quietly and privately.

278

714747

3103

Muddatsiz prokrastinatsiya tinch va
sezilmas azobdir.

12:10

And it can be the source

279

718816

1154

U uzoq muddatli azoblar

12:11

of a huge amount of long-term
unhappiness, and regrets.

280

719994

3735

va afsuslar o'chog'iga aylanishi mumkin.

12:16

And I thought, that's why
those people are emailing,

281

724576

2872

Menimcha, aynan shu sabab ushbu insonlar
menga yozishgan.

12:19

and that's why they're
in such a bad place.

282

727472

2502

Shu sabab ular shunchalik
tushkunlikda edi.

12:21

It's not that they're cramming
for some project.

283

729998

2744

Ularning muammosi shoshilinch va majburiy
vazifalar emas,

12:24

It's that long-term procrastination
has made them feel like a spectator,

284

732766

3421

muammo — hayoti qanday o'tib
ketayotganini kuzatishga majbur

12:28

at times, in their own lives.

285

736211

2039

qilayotgan davomiy prokrastinatsiya.

12:30

The frustration is not
that they couldn't achieve their dreams;

286

738594

2982

Ular orzularini amalga oshira
olmaganidan emas, ularga

12:33

it's that they weren't even
able to start chasing them.

287

741600

3089

erishishga harakat qilishni boshlay
olmaganlaridan tushkunlikda.

12:36

So I read these emails
and I had a little bit of an epiphany --

288

744713

4183

Bu xabarlarni o'qib, men birdan
shuni tushundim:

12:42

that I don't think
non-procrastinators exist.

289

750182

3400

aslida prokrastinator bo'lmagan insonni
o'zi yo'q.

12:45

That's right -- I think all of you
are procrastinators.

290

753979

3236

Xa, hammangiz prokrastinatorsizlar
deb hisoblayman.

12:49

Now, you might not all be a mess,

291

757898

1914

Balki unchalik beparvomasdirsizlar,

12:51

like some of us,

292

759836

1350

ko'pchiligimizga o'xshab,

12:53

(Laughter)

293

761210

1529

(Kulgu)

12:54

and some of you may have
a healthy relationship with deadlines,

294

762763

3316

ko'pchiligingiz esa muddatlarga jiddiy
yondashasizlar.

12:58

but remember: the Monkey's sneakiest trick

295

766103

2524

Lekin bilingki, maymunchaning eng
makkor xiylasi

13:00

is when the deadlines aren't there.

296

768651

1840

muddat bo'lmaganda amalga oshadi.

13:03

Now, I want to show you one last thing.

297

771249

2032

So'ngida yana bir narsa ko'rsatmoqchiman.

13:05

I call this a Life Calendar.

298

773305

2373

Men buni hayot kalendari deb atayman.

13:08

That's one box for every week
of a 90-year life.

299

776352

4279

Bunda 90-yillik hayot aks etgan va har bir
hafta uchun bittadan kvadrat.

13:13

That's not that many boxes,

300

781345

1589

Kvadatchalar unchalik ko'p emas,

13:14

especially since we've already
used a bunch of those.

301

782958

2974

uni ham ko'pchilik qismini sarflashga
ulgurgansiz.

13:18

So I think we need to all take a long,
hard look at that calendar.

302

786607

5132

Bu kalendarga yaxshilab nazar solishimiz
kerak.

13:24

We need to think about what
we're really procrastinating on,

303

792977

3013

Aslida nimalarni ortga surayotganimizni
o'ylashimiz kerak.

13:28

because everyone is procrastinating
on something in life.

304

796014

3365

Bu narsa har birimizni hayotimizda
yuz beradi.

13:32

We need to stay aware
of the Instant Gratification Monkey.

305

800782

3030

Lahzali zavqni talab qiladigan maymuncha
haqida o'ylang.

13:37

That's a job for all of us.

306

805455

2492

Bu vazifa hammamiz uchun.

13:40

And because there's not
that many boxes on there,

307

808669

2300

Kvadratlarning unchalik ko'p emasligi
uchun ham

13:42

it's a job that should
probably start today.

308

810993

2290

aynan bugundan boshlashimiz kerak.

13:45

Well, maybe not today, but ...

309

813307

3000

Balki... bugunmasdir...

13:48

(Laughter)

310

816331

1641

(Kulgu)

13:49

You know.

311

817996

1150

O'zingiz tushunasiz.

13:51

Sometime soon.

312

819576

1150

Qachondir, keyin.

13:53

Thank you.

313

821393

1209

Rahmat.

13:54

(Applause)
