Actually, does not tell how to stop procrastination, just how they might help people stop their procrastination in the lecture (offer early deadlines). How am I supposed to translate this to my real life (where's no professor who'll punish me if I don't keep my early deadline?).
Besides, made me procrastinate my work further by watching the video...
There's a strategy called "structured procrastination" where you overload yourself with work to the point where you can only put one thing off to do something different.
One way to enforce early deadlines (well, short deadlines) is to take on another project, get that done, and then for your other project, the deadline is now a couple weeks shorter :)
It's a bit of a misleading title, it's not all about procrastination and it's not much of a howto either.
It's about how you can do many things better than standard economics would indicated if you take into account the irrationality of human beings.
For example, everyone leaves reports to the last minute. Commiting to earlier deadlines makes no sense to a 'rational' human being, but can help actual human beings.

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.
So now I am going back to work.
