Something I found really interesting during the interview with Professor David Laibson was the idea of present bias. This stood out to me the most because it was something I could really relate to. I’ve constantly found myself, especially lately, pushing off almost everything I have to do until the very last minute. Even if I know that I would get more satisfaction from finishing it early with the free time I currently have, however I lack sufficient motivation. It is nice to be able to describe this feeling in such a tangible way and learn more about how consciously knowing I do has an affect on my future choices.
