"I'm useless and getting things done. I have immensely good intentions but lack the motivation to do it due to the constant thoughts that go through my head that I'll fail at it anyway or it won't be as good/satisfying as I want it to be. " Like a mental paralysis. Horrible innit? Bloody third and fourth thoughts can be such a hindrance | |||

"Nope, no procrastination here. Jump in, commit, make mistakes now and again but have a giggle getting there (You're a long time dead to have regrets on what you might have done)" Is that the same for work or serious stuff? Fun and recreational activities are not a problem for me for going head on and getting sorted straight away (funny that innit?) | |||

Don't often come unstuck, not got a bad educated gut instinct for things however it does make me particularly bad at office wrangling and politics.

"...is apparently ruining my life! (Some learned person on a google search about the subject said it so it must be true!) And I thought I was just really good at making myself do any stuff other than what I should've been doing Do any of you luvverly fab folk find yourself putting off 'til tomorrow? (And then again the next day?) Or are you consistently getting shit done and dusted so that you have a clear run ahead of you? " I'll answer this another day. I have many other things that need doing sometime. | |||

"Let me have a think about this one please?" No, no, no!... That's not proper procrastinating! You have to be avoiding thinking of it too. Anything other than the intended task | |||

"I had a bunch of work to do today. But then I read an article about a cuneiform tablet that has recently been deciphered and it got me inordinately interested. I've spent the day researching Babylonian numerics and trigonometry. Fucking fascinating, really. At least I'm learning while I procrastinate." Absolutely top class procrastination of the highest order! | |||

"I used to be very productive and if things needed doing then I'd get it done. But this year I've not been able to find the motivation for lots of things.

Well my job is not lacking in the stress department. And I am not lazy at home. It's just that I go out of my way to NOT do the thing that requires my attention. Even if the new activity is more strenuous or taxing!... | |||
