    Do you hold off longer on things or jump in quicker than usual, or maybe
    procrastinate so long, you actually never get to it, or get it done?

    All depending what my procrastination is about, such as today, I have my dishwasher to
    still run, all I have to do is press 'start', that is something small and should take minimal
    effort...

    OR, last month I've needed to get back in touch with a former coworker and make some
    peace about our last chat, but I am procrastinating, and I really need to tend to this...

    I never wish to go a day without something to do ergo, I always leave something undone today so I will be guaranteed something to do tomorrow.

    I think most of us procrastinate at times. I know I do.

    I push things until the last minute. Somehow I get them done when it's "the last minute."
    My problem is when I have so much time on my hands, there is no reason to do anything "now."

    When I was working full time and going to night classes, my [limited] free time was highly productive.

    The Three Ps don't only apply to life insurance:
    -Perfection
    -Paralysis
    -Procrastination

    If something involves work that I don't like doing I procrastinate, but other times it's prioritizing. Sometimes it's an ambition deficit too.
