Are you one?

For the most part, I am definitely not. I hate things hanging over my head and will get them done ASAP. I'm always a couple weeks ahead on homework to keep me from getting stressed, although I'm still stressed about then forgetting homework exists since I'm so far ahead. :giggle

I do put off things I don't like and can get away with putting off, though. Like my stupid half torn up basement. :backing
 
i put off the things i don't like ... big cleaning projects tend to top that list (like cleaning the windows or going through closets/storage to sort & dump what we no longer need). but am pretty good otherwise.
 
While I find I work well under last minute stress, I can't afford to wait until the last minute. I have too many balls in the air! I pretty much have to keep my to-do list current or the balls would start to drop. This week, for example: help 2x in classroom of 2nd grader, chair Carnival committee meeting for elementary school, chair Grants committee meeting for high school, regular work here at TLP (extra busy with BYOC), regular family/house chores. Yeah...no room for procrastination. LOL
 
Oh I'm terrible... if I make a list, I make excuses to stuff out of order so I can do the stuff I like best first. This is why my husband is so well trained in doing the chores...
 
My photo is next to the word procrastination in the dictionary. Well, it would be if I ever got around to submitting it. ;)
 
I'm definitely a procrastinator. I basically like to put things off as long as possible.
 
yes and no :)

I like to think I do my best work with a looming deadline, BUT it is nice to not procrastinate and get a big project done early so that I don't have to stress out about it.
 
Most definitely. It feels weird if I get something done early. Then I sit and worry and try to figure out what I'm forgetting. :giggle
 
Very much so. In college I thought I'd work ahead and do a paper before the night before... I got a B on it. Everything else, which I did last minute, was an A.

I work better under pressure. :)
 
Periodically but not regularly. It stresses me out. I love the feeling of knocking something off my list before the due date.
 
Look up procrastinator in the dictionary and you'll see my photo. Yep, I own it.
 
Hmmm, don't know what to answer. Sometimes yes and sometimes not. It all depends on the moment... Will come abck later when I figured it out...
