Today’s prompt: what are the pro’s and cons of procrastination
Well…as the queen of procrastination, I am certainly qualified to answer that question I think 🙈😂. Let’s start with the pros.
One of the main pros is that my house is never cleaner than when I find myself procrastinating about studying or writing a report in particular. While I am busy cleaning, my brain also gets a chance to think through some things especially if a report is due. Another pro is that I might find that if I leave some tasks for long enough, when I am eventually ready to start, the task is no longer required because circumstances have changed.
A key con is that I stress yourself out about a pending deadline but I continue to procrastinate anyway until the last second. It’s like I am paralysed and can only be released just before the deadline. I don‘t do my best work because everything is now done is a hurry. Procrastination is often just a form of self-sabotage. Well for me anyway. I do it when I am super nervous about how something will turn out.
Do you have any pros or cons to add? That’s it from me. Bye for now.

So glad to hear I’m not alone on the procrastination side! I loved reading your blog and my heart definitely goes out to you on this. We procrastinators have to stick together, right? I hope you’re able to get everything done that you need to and hope somewhere in there that you can REST, too. Sending you hugs xx

Aaah Thank you. Yip we definitely need to stick together. It’s actually a natural trait of some MBTI personality types apparently. I was kinda relieved that it was actually common for my personality type🥳😅😂.
All the best with what is waiting on your side. Hugs to you too.

I am a terrible procrastinator, but I deal with it by trying to prioritise the most important things I have to do – which usually have a deadline of one or two days ahead! That’s the best I can do. I still push myself really hard, though – too hard sometimes. I am not sure what personality type I am!

I feel you. I do the same.
You can use the 16 personalities website to get a view of what your personality is. It’s interesting to do every few years. My life experience, changing habits and growing interests are reflected in my results. I am keen to see what the change might be 5 years from now 😁
