Procrastination, it happens to all of us occasionally. However, others live with this trait for just about every aspect of their lives. Whether it be procrastinating a homework assignment, work deadline, or even just taking out the trash or doing laundry; we all find something a bit more important to do, instead of finishing that specific task.
1. You understand what it's like to power through an assignment 10 minutes before it's due.
Although you've had all day or all week to complete the assignment, you put it off until 10 minutes before the due date and utilize every speed writing skill you have.
2. You frequently use the phrase, "Oh, I'll get to it."
No matter how much everyone reminds you to just get that task done right in the moment, you know that you will EVENTUALLY get to it.
3. You are more than familiar with finding every unnecessary task to be done before your most important one.
If you have three hours to submit a deadline, you decide you'll finally organize your closet, clean your whole house, and finish that novel you've been thinking about doing ALL before you get to the deadline that's due tonight.
4. You dread Sunday afternoons because you realize you're running out of time to put your responsibilities off.
The "Sunday scary's" are as real as ever for those who procrastinate all of their responsibilities away.
5. You constantly believe that your future self will have their sh*t together.
Even though you do nothing to change your procrastination tendencies, you still somehow believe a switch will flip in your head one day, and you will end up like the put-together adult you so readily imagine yourself to be.
