What procrastinator type are you? (2)

Procrastinator Type 2 is.......

The Last-Minute Deadline or Crisis Procrastinator

This type of procrastinator leaves everything until the last possible second.

The problem with being a last-minute procrastinator is that you end up having too little time to finish the work or you must pull an all-nighter, sometimes ending up with “average” work. The quote by Fred Brooks says it all. Sometimes you find that you are so far behind that you think that the only option is to "just give up". Really? IF you want to be successful in WA, THAT IS NOT AN OPTION!!! You must break the habit!

Do you say?

• “I like working under pressure because I’m more efficient at the last minute”.

These procrastinators like the adrenalin rush of knowing that the deadline is approaching and having to do everything in an accelerated manner. But doing everything in a rush often means that you produce poor quality results.

• “I am just not motivated today - tomorrow, I’ll be in a better mood or, it’s too hot or it’s too cold or I’m too tired, or my spouse or children or boss put a damper on the day!” These folks have oodles of excuses!

The thinking is that tomorrow will be a better day, However, what happens is that they re-hash similar excuses the next day…..and the next……..and the next……. That is called procrastination!

• Love the quick and easy tasks? You start with something fun and simple but put off the harder work for later in the day…..

Unfortunately (you tell yourself) because you’ve been SO BUSY there never seems to be enough time left for the hard work at the end of the day! Really????

If you answered “Yes” to any of these, then you are a LAST-MINUTE DEADLINE PROCRASTINATOR!
