Note for myself and you guys
Type 1: Thrill-Seekers
- People who wait for the last minute to receive euphoric rush
Type 2: Avoiders
- People who fear the consequences whether it be success or failure. Usually fears the judgement of others.
- Skill deficit, lack of interest, lack of motivation could all cause to breed an avoider
Type 3: Decisional Procrastinators
- People who have difficulty making a decision. Usually caused by fear.
Fears
- Perfectionism is the underbelly of the fear of failure.
- Fear of success: Consequences of achieving success such as being responsible of a greater task and being put on a unpleasant spot.

Looking back at myself, I'm somewhere between The Thrill-Seeker & The Avoider. I almost always did larger school assignmnets or projects at the last minute successfully (they were all successful, but not all were done at the last mimute, hence the almost always part. I also tended to avoid some assignments because I happened to think that I Was unprepared for the job or it was simply boring (this kind of lead to me becoming a Thrill-Seeking Procrastinator.

I dont seem to fit into any of the categories? I started procrastinating 3 years ago when I was severely depressed and hit rock bottom then just fell into a habit of procrastinating when at home but at my place of work I am the complete opposite and never procrastinate, I want to get out of the habit of procrastinating when at home but I just cant seem to shake it off and get back to my old self.

I lack motivation way too much due to my depression and I have high expectations when doing stuff and I'm afraid to let ppl down, and I also don't want to let myself down. I'm afraid of me doing badly because I'm hard on myself and seeing me fail will make me more hard on myself, idk if this is just me

Wow. When I was younger I actually decided not to do my homework because I saw ir as a waste of time. Nowadays I want to do my homework in order to get better, but my motivation has an average level of zero. So I still don't do homework like half of the days I have homework to do.

But one good thing about procrastinators is that we are used to doing 8 hour worth of work in 20 minutes that we do really well under pressure, like exams, I do get stressed but i dont get stressed while writing a three hour English paper

Not sure if this is gonna make sense but I'm a productive procrastinator. I will avoid doing what truly needs to be done and instead do multiple tasks way less important to make me feel like I'm not actually procrastinating

I identify with the first one, but it's like a war inside my head and I don't know which side I'm on and the more I procrastinate the more the darkness just consumes me. I know I need help but I don't know how to stop!

For me Essay Homeworks are the one i Procrastinate on, I just feel its useless and hard to do because you have these word requirements to reach, other assignments like quizzes i can always do in time.

Am definitely the first two, especially the first one growing up when it came to projects. Now as an adult I procrastinate more in my personal life than at work. Bizarre to say the least.

Def. #3 its always fear of making a wrong decision and make the excuse of having it done on my own time because its not enough on their time. I didnt realize I was actually procrastinating. Smh

I'd say I relate to the second one. Without realizing it at the time, I have been avoiding doing certain activities, mostly because I just don't feel like doing them at the moment.

Im not sure which type of procrastinator I am, but I am definitely NOT the thrill-sealer procrastinator. I hate the fact that I procrastinate. It makes me feel really guilty.

Im definitely 2 and 3. I kind of get the thrill seeker rush on accident every now and then, but honestly deadlines barely motivate me anymore.

Telling a procrastinator to buy a planner is like telling someone with depression to just cheer up. THIS! So simple, yet so well put!

I'm a mix of #1 and #2. Sometimes I'm the thrill seeker, sometimes whatever I'm supposed to be doing is just too boring for words.

3: 40 another possibility of being afraid of success could be growing up with parents that disliked you being successful.

Thought there's only two types of procrastinators. The one that fails and the one that ironically succeeds.
