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, they 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.

 

Maybe I'll tell you all later if I procrastinate.

 

I remember you masticate. Lol

 

I was gonna reply but I thought this could wait.

 

Have a think. Lol

 

Why do today what you can put off to do tomorrow?

 

while how much and how often varies, as far as i know, i don't think i've ever met anyone who doesn't, at least a little and some of the time.

as for me, i'm paranoid of doing anything i haven't run half a dozen scenarios of its possible outcome through my head with full motion photo real imagery.
(and maybe slept on two or three days besides)

 

You do not do that Prix. lol

 

Not sure that is the same?
Careful planning is different.

 

Eight minutes. lol

 

Although many people accuse me of being the worlds worst procrastinator, I do not fit into any of your categories.
It is all about perfection in everything, which I am not happy until I have dotted every I and crossed every T.
Since I started driving 52 years ago and up to 30,000 miles per year, I have never broken down or sent a car to a garage for service
Needless to say, all this has it's problems, particularly on the day that Jane arrived to to an Audi engine in the kitchen. Meanwhile, I was on the phone to Germany, telling the designer of the car what he had done wrong.

PS I built all our computers, but I have not got a clue how to use them for any non technical application.
PPS, I am still looking for the spider in the www.

 

The actual meaning is putting things off. I cannot imagine you are that way Wils.
I do love your posts, you always inject some humour.
Not everyone can do that.

 

Never as I'm a Gemini I have been known to work on things at 3 AM.

 

You are like me. But I am a Libra, I weigh up pros and cons.

 

I am not disputing that Bilby. Maybe we all have a lot to learn????

 

Yes, but I have plans to do something about it next year.

 

My thinking has always been, "I'd rather do it as to dread it".
