- Procrastination is often seen as a blanket action but the psychology of it can be different for different people. It's important to identify which of the types of procrastination you're doing so you can handle it with awareness. - Perfectionist: has a fear of not doing the task perfectly. They would rather hold off completely if they feel (or fear) they aren’t able to accomplish your work perfectly. - Dreamer: thinks “big picture” on ideas, but when it comes to actual tasks or work at hand, they have a hard time completing it and focusing on the steps to get there. - Worrier: has a fear of failure and negative emotions around being successful at the task ahead. Better not to do it at all than do it and fail, or have something go wrong. - Defier: pushes off tasks because they find it beneath them or feel it’s something they shouldn’t have to work on. Feel frustrated or perhaps resentful at the task under their responsibility. - Crisis-Maker: needs to feel pressure or stress of a tight deadline to begin and/or accomplish a task. They wait until the last minute because only this will make them motivated to get something done. - Over-Doer: says “yes” to too many tasks and has trouble prioritizing and accomplishing the tasks, so fails to get them done." ---- [Link](https://www.realsimple.com/how-to-stop-procrastinating-8348105)
