The 6 Different Types Of Procrastinators
Procrastination tips for everyone:
– Get help from others (professors, friends, family) to stay accountable.
– Keep a daily journal to evaluate your use of time.
– Practice visualization. Envision the changes you want to make in your life — how it feels to make the change, and what your life looks like after the changes are made.
– Create a timeline for completing a task or achieving a goal, with specific, short-term steps along the way.
I set this as my Desktop Wallpaper, It has helped me stop procrastinating, try it on your desktop also and let me know if you see progress.
Thanks for reading this article guys.

How often have you felt like time is going by so fast, and you wish it could just slow down a little so you could be more accomplished? With technology expanding faster than ever (and only increasing with speed), it can feel like a race toward success. The good news is, that is only a thought running amok in your head that’s not true. In fact, last year the United States alone added 250,000 new millionaires. (more…)

I love this I think everyone has some of these in them, just don’t confess to any it.
These steps, are the ones we have done just not seen in black in white by another person. I know I tend to write things down to see what it is to fix and proceed just due to my training. Nice to see my path is not in vain.

Great blog post, Joel. I find that many of my customers use unhealthy escapes such as drinking too much or eating too much in order to put off the things that they need to do – and probably to avoid the feelings that go along with it…like perfectionism, worry, etc. I like that you give steps to overcome the types of procrastination once they identify in what category they may be.

Joel, is there not also a type who is just plain indecisive by nature? Or do yoy think that indecisiveness must stem from one of the abovementioned reasons?

Thanks Joel for another informative post. I have to say that this is the first time I have seen procrastination covered in so much depth. I guess I fit into the perfectionist category, just like Gabriel. I totally agree with Nina. The Nike picture completes the post by summing up procrastination in just a few words.

Hi,
I have read numerous articles about this topic. This is by far the best one as its very specific with identifying the types and giving a good way to overcome your specific issue rather than a general solution. It always works to have custom solutions as there are more chances of people understanding the problem as many can’t identify the specific issue. Thanks again. I have changed the wallpaper and hope it works for me.

What a perfect time to write this post! I must admit that I’m a perfectionist. It is a blessing and a curse at the same time, but I’m finally allowing myself to..LET GO! Amazing and empowering content as usual.
