Anshika Swain

The economy of everyday decisions

Is it you whose actions are causing you to lose your time or is the system just built to make you? We live in a world surrounded by screens and technology that we forget to realize the assets we take for granted are the most important ones. Ones that we might never get back Anshika is a 15-year-old student with a wide range of interests, including music, dance, and art—but not nearly enough patience to pursue all of them at once. She procrastinates more than she should, yet she always tries her best to get everything done. This talk comes from her experience of balancing her desire to do everything, the pressure of academics, and the messy reality of growing up as a teenager, all while trying to figure things out. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
