Do you procrastinate?

The Three Forms of Procrastination
Approximately 20 percent of people are chronic procrastinators; for them the behavior cuts across all domains of life. There’s more than one flavor of procrastination. Arousal types, or thrill-seekers, wait until the last minute in order to reap a euphoric rush. A second type, avoiders, put off tasks because of fear of failure or even fear of success, but in either case are very concerned with what others think of them. Then there are decisional procrastinators, who are unable to make a decision; not making a decision absolves them of responsibility for the outcome of events. There are big costs to procrastination: It is internally troubling, leading to such problems as insomnia, immune system and gastrointestinal disturbances, and it erodes personal relationships and teamwork in the workplace.

Re: Do you procrastinate?

I always tell my Daughter to get on with it & stop procrastinating, but looking at the meaning, she just gets side tracked. Come to think of it I do too. I should be doing something useful, but instead I am on here.

Re: Do you procrastinate?

I'm at the other end of the scale. The quicker the job is done, the quicker I can relax, until the next thing comes along. I don't like things piling up in my head of things to do, I'd rather say, "ah, that's one more thing done."

Only when sitting on the loo. I think good things come to those who wait

Yes but when you have no intention of doing anything, it doesn't matter how many things there are waiting to be done.
