Introduction
Procrastination is something that we all deal with at some point or another. We may find that there is some kind of project that we don’t want to deal with or we may just feel we have time to do it later. Of course, things always sneak up on us sooner rather than later, and we scramble around to get it all done. This is a temporary thing for most people, something they do on occasion and it isn’t a habit. On the other hand, procrastinators will often deal with these issues each time that they have something to do.
This guidebook is going to spend some time looking at what a procrastinator is and some of the main signs to look for when it comes to determining if you or someone else is considered a procrastinator. We will discuss some things such as avoiding unpleasant tasks, making excuses or just giving up because we feel we are not up to the challenge. These are all things that will make the procrastinator put off their work, rather than trying to get it done.
When you are interested in finding out what a procrastinator is like and learning about some of the signs that come with procrastination to see if they are ones that you are dealing with, make sure to check out this guidebook to get started!
What is a Procrastinator?
First, we need to take some time to talk about what a procrastinator is. This is basically a person who likes to put things off or who delays doing the work because they feel like they can’t handle it or they just aren’t interested in the work. This can include things like chores, work, and other actions that should be done in a timely manner. If you don’t get to work on cleaning the house because you have to take the kids to soccer practice, that is not procrastination. But if you just sit down and watch television instead of doing the housework, that is procrastination.
All of us have times when we are going to suffer from procrastination in our lives. There are things that we don’t always want to do, and we will put them off as much as possible. But this s usually something that is temporary with most people. But when it comes to being a procrastinator, they are going to push the activity off every time that they are supposed to do something, or at least most of the times.
Often these procrastinators are going to wait until the very last minute to get things done. If they are given a big project, it is pretty common to see them working on that late into the night the day before it is due. These are the people who will go out on the day before Christmas to get all of their shopping done. It seems like no matter what they are doing, they are never able to get it done on time and without rushing at the last minute.
These people often have every excuse in the book to avoid doing some of the work that they should. They may not feel like they should have to get the work done, they may say that it doesn’t interest them, and sometimes they will say that the thrill of waiting until the last minute makes it more exciting for them, so they do better work in the long run. But these are all just excuses that are causing them a lot of harm as they push projects further and further behind each day.
There are several types of procrastinators that you may run across in your life. They are all going to share some common traits, but they can be very different in the manner that they procrastinate and even for the reasons. The three types of procrastinators that you may encounter include:
Arousal type: these are also known as the thrill seeker type. These are the people who are able to get some kind of rush for waiting until the very last minute in order to get their project done. They like how it feels to get the work done at the last minute, and they will never work on projects early.
Avoider type: these are the people who are very concerned about how they are going to be seen by others. They are really afraid to fail. So instead of trying and failing, they feel that it is much better to feel incompetent and lazy. This results in them just deciding to not do the work at all.
Decisional type: this type of person is going to be someone who isn’t able to make decisions on things. They will just keep putting things off because then they don’t have to deal with making some of the decisions in their life. These are also the people who are really relieved when responsibilities of making decisions are taken away from them.
Most of the time, someone who is suffering from procrastination has been dealing with this issue for a long time. But even someone who is a chronic procrastinator is able to make some changes to their behavior, although it is going to take a lot of persistence and dedication. Often the desire to put off things and to procrastinate is not going to go away, but the procrastinator is able to learn to change their habits so that they are able to accomplish all of their tasks on time, rather than waiting until the last minute any longer.
