What procrastinator type are you? (1)

TYPES OF PROCRASTINATORS

WE ALL procrastinate on some tasks and goals!

Don’t beat yourself up about not doing certain tasks. You are not alone because we all do it in some form. The degree of procrastination just differs. A common reason for procrastinating is poor planning skills and USUALLY NOT laziness. I use the word “USUALLY”, but in most cases, it is not.

Everybody has different reasons for procrastinating which are all triggered by underlying root problems. Based on this, there are generally 5 different types of procrastinators.

See if you can identify your type in my posts over the next few weeks. Once they are defined, I will proffer some solutions for each type that will require a genuine willingness to change. It;s not easy but it can definitely be done, especially as this will affect your success at WA.

1. The Wishful Thinker / Dreamer Procrastinator

This type of procrastinator sets lofty goals without any thought if they are realistic or can be measured. They love to dream big, and there is nothing wrong with that BUT

Do you?

• Set goals that are not clear or measurable? Because there is no way to hold yourself accountable, you keep postponing your work and of course, if there is no way to measure the goal, you really cannot say you failed. Right?
• Not set clear action plans to achieve your goals
• Never seem to have enough time to work on your goals because of distractions

If you answered “Yes” to any of these, then you are a WISHFUL THINKER PROCRASTINATOR
